Previewing the Rapid replacement, the concept also foreshadows a VW Golf GTI competitor. [UPDATE, October 2] Live images from the 2018 Paris Motor Show have been added at the beginning of the gallery, below. Coinciding with the unveiling of the Kodiaq RS, the new Skoda Vision RS concept is a sharp five-door hatchback serving a taste of things to come in the compact car segment. Essentially, this is an early look at the Rapid successor, with the future model set to evolve into a proper, more refined compact hatch to compete with the Volkswagen Golf and the Ford Focus. With this concept previewing a potential RS version, it has been designed to give us an idea of what to expect in terms of a GTI and ST rival.Looking a million times more exciting than the Rapid / Rapid Spaceback on sale today, the Vision RS embraces a much more stylish design language that hopefully will rub off onto the production models. The vehicle is 4356 millimeters long, 1431 mm tall, 1810 mm … [Read more...] about Skoda Vision RS Hybrid Hot Hatch Powers Into Paris

Meanwhile, the U.S. President criticizes the Japanese automakers for not producing cars in America. U.S. President Donald Trump is on a 12-day Asian trip, which will include China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The most ambitious tour on the continent for any American leader in more than a decade, according to specialists, started with what is described as "a friendly golf game" with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Over the weekend, the Secret Service twitted two quite interesting photos, revealing how it is transporting the President’s fleet of armored vehicles to the destinations he is visiting. The pictures show the cars loaded on a C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft. Among the vehicles is "The Beast," Trump’s official state car produced by Cadillac. It’s the same limousine that served his predecessor President Barack Obama and is built upon a medium-duty truck platform. The Cadillac One went into service in January … [Read more...] about This Is How Secret Service Transports Trump’s “The Beast” To Asia

Even more protection for America’s future president. Details around the armored vehicles used to transport the President of the United States are always, perhaps unsurprisingly, few and far between. But our spy shooters stake out the General Motors proving ground in Milford, Michigan, and spotted what appears to be the next version of the heavily armored vehicle testing – just in time for election season. Though it looks like a Cadillac sedan, the presidential limo – known informally as “The Beast” – is really a hardened, toughened heavy-duty truck platform. The new model spotted testing here is, as with today’s limo, a huge sedan, with extremely high ground clearance and an enormous body. That size is necessary, in part, to accommodate significant levels of armoring and bomb-proof bodywork; the giant truck-like wheels and tires are likely required to support the massive machine’s entire weight.

Oates won't be able to hide from private eyes while behind the wheel of this little beast. Emory Motorsports specializes in tuning the classic Porsche 356, and rockstar John Oates of 1980s iconic band Hall & Oates now owns one of the company's special machines. Oates asked the firm for the perfect 356, and Emory delivered. Gallery: John Oates Porsche 356 Emory Motorsports 64 Photos Oates' new car started life as a 1960 356B Cabriolet. Emory fitted a removable hardtop that gave the car an interesting flat-top silhouette, rather than the vehicle's usual graceful silhouette for the coupe's rear deck. The donor machine had a damaged front end, so the build team incorporated the smoother shape of the 356A at the nose and windshield frame. The 356A's smaller bumpers also added a sleeker look. The Porsche 356 is a classic: 1959 Porsche 356 Speedster By Emroy Motorsport Is Retro Perfection The 1960 Porsche 356 RSR From Emory Motorsports Looks … [Read more...] about John Oates’ Tuned Porsche 356 Won’t Be His Next Maneater

When Porsche lovers pass into the afterlife, this could be what they see. First things first: we don’t know the location of this unbelievable Porsche collection. For all we know it could be a glimpse into what lies beyond death for the Porsche faithful, because look at it. Not only are the vast majority of the 65 (yes, 65) Porsches in this collection wearing a shade of white, the building itself is awash with white. Even the furniture is white, along with the upstairs portion of this incredible garage that contains all kinds of literature and Porsche memorabilia. We’ll talk more about that later.
