Morgan launches 3 Wheeler in Gulf livery

We love the classic baby blue and orange Gulf livery as much as anyone, but when everything from the Tata Nano to a DeLorean and even a racing-grade semi truck (okay, the semi is pretty cool...) is painted in the scheme, it might be time to give it a rest. With perhaps one notable exception: this Gulf Edition Morgan 3 Wheeler. Not only does Morgan have a legitimate racing relationship with Gulf Oil in Le Mans-class racing, we just so happen to love the Morgan 3 Wheeler more than almost anything else on wheels. no matter what hue it's painted.

McLaren P1 prototype seen testing on public roads

Spy photographers have grabbed a few shots of the McLaren P1 out for a little testing on public streets. Much of the coupe's heavy camouflage has been discarded in favor of a trippy vinyl wrap, revealing the production version to be nearly identical to the concept McLaren unveiled at this year's Paris Motor Show. The company's new ultracar is designed to be somewhat smaller and more delicate compared to other bruisers in the segment, and McLaren has made it clear the machine will bow with the least frontal area of any new supercar on the planet.

As some gamers may know, in God of War: Ascension, Sony will be introducing multiplayer mode to the God of War franchise for the very first time which is either an extremely good idea, or it could totally fall on its face.

2013 NASCAR Chevrolet SS revealed

As a throwback Las Vegas magician might say while whipping the sheet of his latest trick, "Alakazam!" The 2013 NASCAR Chevrolet SS race car has just been unveiled in Vegas and these are the first images. It will campaign in the top-tier Sprint Cup series next year, replacing the Impala nameplate that has done 12 years in stock car racing over two stints, the most recent from 2007 to the end of this year's season. There are more hopes resting on the bulging wheel arches of the NASCAR SS than race wins.

Apple Building New Campus In Santa Clara

Apple's spaceship-like Cupertino campus will be finished in 2016. But with four more years to go, Apple is setting up temporary offices within the city for its thousands of workers. According to Mercury News, Apple is now planning to erect two campuses on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard in Santa Clara. The area, which is just a walking distance from the Cupertino city limits, will reportedly host 1,200 workers.
Apple is said to have leased the 96,000 square-foot space from developer Peery Arrillaga.

2014 Porsche Cayman closes the Box(ster)

On the heels of its well-received Boxster drop-top, Porsche rolled out its all-new third-generation Cayman coupe at the Los Angeles Auto Show today. Anyone who is familiar with automaker's new mid-engine Boxster (it debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show) knows all they need to know about the Cayman. It is, in Porsche's own words, lower and longer, lighter and faster, more efficient and more powerful than ever. The standard Cayman model arrives with a 2.7-liter flat-six Boxer engine rated at 275 horsepower, while the premium Cayman S is fitted with a 3.4-liter six generating 325 horsepower.

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series proves that less is more

As we learned some time ago, the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is one bad boy. The car boasts 622 total horsepower, a top speed of 196 miles per hour with 0-60 coming up in 3.5 seconds, and has shed 154 pounds when compared with the "base" SLS AMG. Seeing the Black Series in the metal for the first time this morning at the LA Auto Show, we were struck by the sheer volume of carbon fiber that has been employed in its manufacture.

WTFJeans V2 For Smartphone Owners

They say that a pair of jeans is an indispensable part of any wardrobe, never mind if you are male or female. I personally love my pair of jeans, even more so when they're black because it gets really difficult to tell whether it is dirty or not, apart from the smell, of course. Well, one thing that jeans have against them is this – their pockets are not too conducive to stash away your modern day smartphone that has an ever growing screen size, not to mention with phablets coming into the scene. WTFJeans intends to change that by introducing the V2 model, which comes two years after the launch of the V1.

LA display confirms diesel Mazda6 for US

Cat's out of the bag, kids – your first diesel-powered Mazda will be the 2014 Mazda6 sedan that arrives at dealers early next year. While scanning the floor here at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, we spotted this 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D engine with an information card (pictured right) stating that it will be "arriving [in] 2013 on the all-new 2014 Mazda6.". This is the same engine that we had a chance to sample in the Euro-spec 2013 Mazda CX-5, good for 173 horsepower and a magical 310 pound-feet of torque.

What's ex-CEO Wendelin Wiedeking doing after Porsche? Pizza

Three years after an oversize corporate appetite resulted in him departing the CEO's throne at Porsche, Wendelin Wiedeking is back in the hunger business having announced a chain of pizza and pasta restaurants called Vialino. The eatery business isn't new to the former Porsche boss, nor are business interests far from the automotive sector: the former Porsche boss made his first million in real estate before he was 30, owns a restaurant now, and still owns stakes in companies that make shoes among other holdings. Perhaps more surprisingly, Vialino is controversial before its opened its first outlet.

Gear4′s Lightning Dock for the iPhone 5 gets the job done – nothing more, nothing less

When the iPhone 5 was revealed, Apple confirmed that they would not be releasing an official dock accessory for the phone which left the door wide open to third-party manufacturers to fill that gap. Now if you're in the market for a dock for your iPhone 5 with no fuss or muss, you might be pleased to learn that Gear4 has since released the rather aptly named Lightning Dock. Like we said earlier, this is a dock that's pretty much, well, a dock. It doesn't offer you anything more like speaker attachments, funky lights, sound enhancements and the likes, which we guess will cater to those who just want a dock to charge their iPhone 5s.

Ericsson files lawsuit against Samsung in the US citing alleged patent infringement

When it comes to lawsuits against Samsung, it looks like Apple isn't the only one after the Korean company for alleged patent infringements. Ericsson has recently filed a lawsuit against Samsung in the US for alleged patent infringement, which seemingly could have been avoided had Ericsson and Samsung manage to arrive at successful negotiations regarding the renewal of a FRAND patent licensing agreement. While the specifics of the patents involved were not revealed, Ericsson has stated that the patents in question are part of "a crucial system for technology sharing that has helped create today's mass market communications industry".

Facebook Privacy Message Is Pointless. Stop Posting

I've noticed the privacy message over the week-end, but I didn't think much about it until it started to show up in more and more feeds. Basically, the idea was that by posting a simple message prohibiting the use of your information, you would be protected from what many see as invasion of their privacy, even if the Facebook terms of use say otherwise. Of course, posting such a message has no legal consequences. It reads like this:“In response to the new Facebook guidelines, I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, graphics, comics, paintings, photos, and videos, etc.

2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport

Quickly Closing In On The Benchmark. The Lexus GS has been chasing the BMW 5 Series for more than two decades. This year, it may have finally leapfrogged its benchmark prey.
Rewind your clock back to the late 1980s, when the midsize four-door sport sedan segment was dominated by BMW. The Bavarian automaker was selling rear-wheel-drive sedans (with manual transmissions, no less) that were every bit as powerful and agile as they were luxurious and comfortable – the best of both worlds, felt many buyers.

Audi mulling range-topping diesel hybrid R10 supercar

Who ever thought we'd hear this said about a sports car: "If we made this a diesel hybrid it could be a hot-seller." Yeah. Never. Nevertheless, that's what Audi R&D chief Wolfgang Durheimer told Auto Express about a his idea for a supercar to sit above the R8 and bang carbon-fiber fenders with the McLaren P1, Ferrari F70 and Porsche 918. Durheimer's quest, in his double life as not just R&D director but also Volkswagen's head of motorsport, is to create a more obvious and lucrative connection between an Audi road car and the automaker's 24 Hours of Le Mans victories with diesel-powered racers.
