Aston Martin DBS Volante – Just in time for Summer!

After a break on the embargo on the details of the DBS Volante earlier today, Aston Martin has decided to give us the details on the new car ahead of the launch at Geneva next week. As you would expect, it looks wonderful. Still the same gorgeous shape as the coupe, but with a dose of sun for those who want to pose.

Ariel Atom 500 will come to U.S., packs 500-hp V8

This is the car in which strapping yourself in tight is mandatory. British boutique automaker Ariel Motor Co. is on the verge of rolling out the Atom 500, the latest version of its ultralight, two-seat street and track car, this one fitted with a 500-hp narrow-angle V8.

John Hennessey unwinds modified Chevy SS

Perhaps it's not as impressive as John Hennessey's recent 200mph blast down Houston's new Grand Parkway in a warmed-up Stingray, but we figured we'd show you his latest run down the same road in a Chevrolet SS equipped with his company's HPE600 Supercharged package. Thanks to GM's engineers, the four-door hits its top speed of 163 in 5th, rather than 6th, but what impressed us the most was watching the numbers climb on the VBOX — the car pulls John-Bonham-hard all the way up to its top speed. Hennessey hasn't released details of the mods performed on the SS yet, but we're anxious to see what this anodyne-looking monster will do on the top end once the gearing nag's sent off to the glue factory.
