Je Suis Simca Aronde!
Yes kids, it's the car that turned Simca, for a brief, shining moment into the second-brightest sales star in the nighttime skies over Bordeaux: the Simca Aronde. It debuted in 1951, and eventually made a whopping 70hp via its Rush Super engine, which is possibly the third greatest engine name in history, behind Toyota's Twin Squish and Mopar's Super Commando. Then Chrysler took over and we ended up with the Dodge Omni. Which in turn gave us one of the rarest Shelbys of them all: The Rampage. – Davey G.

Black Knight - BMW Dinan S3-R M3
When we last visited Dinan to test its supercharged M5, we noticed a black M3 sitting in one of the workshop bays with an experimental supercharger installation attached to its motor. It was not until nearly a year later that Dinan declared the S3-M3 engine project officially 49-state emissions legal and ready to roll, with California emissions certification just around the corner. The complete car with engine, chassis, and wheel and tire modifications is known as the Dinan S3-R M3. From past experience, we can attest to the fact that Steve Dinan does not do things by half. He has built up his company slowly and steadily over the years, and today this organization has visibly more research, development, and testing resources than just about any other American tuner of European cars. Dinan makes a lot of its components in-house, where it can keep a very close eye on quality control.

Ramming ATM nets prison sentence

She said their lives will never be the same.
Audi to run on bio-diesel at Le Mans
Automotive enthusiasts (racing fans in particular) and environmental lobbyists don't always see eye-to-eye. Make that seldom, if ever. But greener motorsports is something over which we can definitely sit down with our compatriots at sister site AutoblogGreen. In fact, we'd go as far to say that it's the one thing that could stand to keep automobile racing relevant in the modern era, and we'll applaud any series, team or supplier that moves the cause forward. Audi, then, is a particular favorite, for their milestone achievement of fielding the diesel-powered R10 in endurance racing series and events – and winning, sweeping the field, in fact, despite the self-imposed oil-burning handicap. But the boys at Ingolstadt aren't about the rest on their proverbial laurels, they're pushing forward, together with their sponsors over at Shell.

MOTORNET: Free-Revving Six - BMW 130i
It's a Friday night. Things are quiet at this end of town, and few people are about save a couple of commuters who perhaps stayed for one beer two many and now make haste to catch a train to the suburbs. The night is unusually still for Wellington, and yet the still air of the carpark is punctuated by a noise petrolheads everywhere would recognize – the revving of a BMW straight six singing sonorously. Like giddy schoolboys, we simply can't get enough of its gloriously mechanical noise. See...
