Mini reveals tech details for new 2013 Mini Cooper

By Ollie Kew Motor Industry 29 September 2013 23:01 Mini has announced that the imminent replacement for the current model will sport an all-new range of three- and four-cylinder engines, adaptive suspension, and marry chuckable handling with better comfort and refinement.

Shelby Sued

Usually, Shelby lawsuit headlines announce that Shelby is suing someone, but here's one where someone is suing Shelby Automobiles, Inc.
