Auto Talk: Lotus coats Evora GTE in carbon fiber for F1 Edition

We’ve seen plenty of Evora GTE models. Some concepts, some production variants and now this, a carbon fiber-bodied Evora to celebrate Lotus’ Formula 1 heritage and christened by none other than Kimi Raikkonen. Funk Flex


Auto Talk: Valmet Dawn gets its Tron on in Geneva

There are a lot of ways to describe the Valmet Dawn you see pictured above, but our favorite could be mouthed by Keanu Reeves: Whoa. And then we would expand it to WTF? As in, “Whoa the F?” Funk Flex


Auto Talk: Gemballa Tornado and Mistrale are the faces of excess

If there are words for the Gemballa Tornado and the vehicle’s spiritual twin, the Mistrale, we can’t find them. Funk Flex


Auto Talk: Pagani Huayra Carbon Edition is all things right in the world

When American automakers release Carbon editions of their sports cars, buyers are treated to a few carbon fiber veneers, some fancy wheels and a few badges. When Pagani builds a Huayra Carbon Edition, the Italian manufacturer simply constructs every last piece of body work out of the composite and slathers everything in clear coat. Funk Flex


Auto Talk: 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL Grand Edition is exactly that

It isn’t only the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class that’s celebrating its 60-year milestone, the S-Class coupe – now called the CL-Class – has been around (sort of) since the 1952 300S. Funk Flex


Auto Talk: 2012 Audi TT RS Plus is a diet we can live with

The 2012 Audi TT RS Plus has officially bowed at the Geneva Motor Show. The stunning little coupe packs the same 360 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque as the TT RS we know and love here in the States, but with around 100 fewer pounds to lug around. Audi still isn’t saying where the weight savings comes from, though we’d wager the coupe boasts lighter seats and less crash garb than its U.S. counterpart. Even with the all-wheel drive coupe’s slimmer curb weight, the TT RS Plus still does the 0-62 mph dash in 4.1 seconds, which is identical to the standard TT RS we played with not too long ago.
