Lamborghini Aventador

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 02:02 PM PDT

The Lamborghini Aventador is a two-seat supercar that is better termed a hypercar--it does everything in hyper-mode. Extreme power from its V-12 engine propels the carbon fiber car to ludicrous speeds, its shape turns heads a block away, and its position at the pinnacle of the Lamborghini production-car range earns it a great deal of respect--and...

The Porsche Panamera is a four-door sedan with hatchback-like proportions. Unusual for sports-car-focused Porsche, the Panamera is the brand's first four-door, and since its introduction, has been a controversial car, both in looks and its very nature. Despite the protestations of purists, the Panamera's blazing performance suits the Porsche...

Ferrari FF

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 09:05 AM PDT

The Ferrari FF is unique in many aspects: Ferrari's first four-wheel drive car, a shooting brake body style, and its balance of utility and outright speed. Seating four in its two-door sport wagon layout and powered by a 651-horsepower V-12 engine, the "Ferrari Four" has no direct competitor. The potent 6.3-liter V-12 engine enables the FF to...

We've seen plenty of apps that address the problem of distracted driving -- and given the growing number of traffic fatalities linked to distraction, a solution can't come too soon. Unfortunately, most of those apps have a fair share of flaws. Many can be disabled or removed at the whim of the phone's owner. Others activate when they detect the...
