The SRX Plug-In Hybrid was... comments | read more      Gas Prices Rising: Driving Tips, Simple Repairs Boost Mileage (Infographic) Jun 02, 2011 03:02 pm | John Voelcker We have to admit, we're fond of infographics. This one has three simple parts. It looks at gas prices--which recently rose to an average of $4 a gallon before ebbing slightly--showing national average prices for both three grades of gasoline and for diesel fuel. Then it suggests some driving tips to increase your gas mileage. For our money, the... comments | read more      2011 Fisker Karma Plug-In Hybrid: Sales Now To Start In July Jun 02, 2011 01:57 pm | John Voelcker Much attention and too little perspective has been focused the monthly sales reports for the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf, the first mass-market plug-in electric cars. But electric-car fans still eagerly await the always-imminent arrival of another production car with a plug, the 2011 Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG + the lighter side of CAR

Struggling to view this? Click here for online version.     Audi's hooligan A1 clubsport quattro Audi has taken one of its most powerful engines and squashed it into the front of its smallest car, the A1. The engine in question is the 2,5-litre five cylinder unit already doing service in the TT RS, and due in the upcoming RS3. The engineers have put their heads together to get a full 370 kW and 660 N.m from this turbocharged unit. These are figures we would normally associate with the V10-engined version of Audi's R8 supercar!     Ford engine plant up and running   Jaguar Land Rover opens Indian factory     Vehicle sales growth subdued   Nissan's Leaf at Pike's Peak           Aural delight Wilhelm Lutjeharms writes... [E-mail the author] Although we'll only we get our hands on the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster early next year, we can already imagine what that rorty 6,2-litre V8 will sound like when it spears down the freeway with its top down. The SLS AMG Roadster will make its début on the manufacturer's home turf at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Check out our gallery as well as the video that shows the Roadster in motion. On a lighter note, sit back and have a good old laugh at us. Yes, that's right; we – the editorial team of CAR – have compiled a blooper video with most of CAR's journalists making embarrassing gaffes in the production of our road test videos.

On the topic of performance, remember to participate in our Need for Speed competition to stand a chance to win a PC copy of its latest game, SHIFT 2 Unleashed.
