Watch the 2013 Cadillac XTS's Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster in Action

Someone alert the hipsters; there is a new fad going around the auto industry and it's called reconfigurable instrument clusters.

Just last month, BMW announced that it will offer a customizable digital instrument display on the 2013 model year 5-Series and facelifted 7-Series, while recent spy photos prove that the next Mercedes-Benz S-Class will also have this future.

For once, Cadillac is not trailing behind its rivals in features introducing an available Reconfigurable Gauge Cluster on its new top sedan model, the 2013 XTS that just went on sale in the States.

The Buick Reatta is one of those cars with some fairly interesting details that only time will tell if it will become a collectable classic.

Presented in coupe form in 1988 with a soft-top convertible following in 1990, the Reatta was Buick's first modern-era two-seater model. Both body styles remained in production until 1991.

Unusually for a mass produced model, the Reatta was hand-built at the Reatta Craft Centre in Lansing, Michigan. Its platform was essentially a shortened version of the GM E chassis used by the Cadillac Eldorado, Oldsmobile Toronado and Buick Riviera, and was shared with the Cadillac Allante.

Say hello to the new TMG (Toyota Motorsport GmbH) EV P002, Toyota's pure electric racecar with which the Japanese brand will compete at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado on July 8.

The EV P002 is the racing version of Toyota's road-legal EV P001 prototype that set a new lap record for electric vehicles at the Nürburgring Nordschleife last year with a time of 7 minutes and 47.794 seconds.

We have watched this video several times and still cannot find a reasonable excuse for why the driver of the Lada Niva crashed into a stopped car on the opposite side of the road.

Even if the pedestrians crossing the road surprised the driver, we can't see why she (according to the YouTube poster) didn't stop her vehicle before it hit the Mazda3.

Head past the break to watch the incident as it was recorded from a dashboard mounted camera.

The last or at least one of the last things you expect to see on the road is a house. Then again, if we are talking about Russia, anything goes…

Like a large truck carrying a small house on its trailer that wasn't tied down securely and fell on the highway with a car smashing right into it.

Seeing is believing so hop over the break for the half-pink-tinted video.

Let's face it; the Hummer crowd has and never will be subtle with its tuning choices but there are some builds that always manage to stand out more than others - in a "sore thumb" kind of way…

As you will soon find out, there's too much to mention about the Black Knight Hummer H2, but we'll just note the Lamborghini-style scissor front and rear doors, the decorative (?) machine guns, axes and swords (yes, all in plural) and more LEDs than a Christmas tree at a KISS concert.

Lexus has welcomed the IS F CCS-R racer to the U.S. as its first ever entry in Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, which will take place in July.

The IS F CCS-R is the racing version of the Lexus IS F Circuit Club Sport concept dispalyed at the 2010 Tokyo Motor Show. It has taken part in several races such as the VLN 10 event at the Nürburgring.

To save space and transfer as many vehicles as possible, this company parked a bunch of small city cars side by side on what looks like a double decker, flatbed truck trailer.

Evidently, placing the cars this way on the truck is as difficult and dangerous as getting them out. See how this driver coped with the problem in the video after the jump.

Hat tip to Andrew for the video find!

Following Tuesday's announcement on the winning design for the first-ever 'SEMA Mustang Build Powered by Women', the Blue Oval has released a short video to introduce two of the driving forces behind the project, Ford vehicle designer Jennifer Seely and SEMA Project Manager, Sherry Kollien, to the world.

Seely was responsible for the design of two out of the three Mustang GT concepts, including the winning "High Gear" study that will be unwrapped in the flesh at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas at the end of October.

If you are into tuned Lamborghinis, then you have heard the name Underground Racing before. The Charlotte, North Carolina, based tuning firm has created some of the most insane and powerful Lamborghini models to date.

It's latest project is the first ever twin-turbocharged version of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

The latest news on the upcoming, seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf GTI, is that the hot hatch could get a more powerful engine than what we originally thought.

Up until it now, it was believed that the next GTI's 2.0-litre turbocharged four-banger would get a 10 to 15 percent boost from 207hp (210PS) to around 220hp-230hp, but Autocar magazine reported today that the hot hatch may make as much as 260-horsepower.

Another case of a GM model and one of its airbags opening without a collision of any sorts during a fast ride on the track has hit the web.

The first one we reported on concerned a Chevrolet Camaro back in August of 2011 (read here), when the coupe's side airbags deployed while the driver was drifting the car.

We don't know if they are related, but a similar incident occurred earlier this week when according to Jalopnik, GM Engineer Brad Doerr took his Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon for fun day of auto-crossing before his wedding.

America's two newest and at the same time, most powerful series-production muscle cars are the 2013 Ford Mustang-based Shelby GT500 and the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

On paper, the $54,995 Camaro ZL1's 6.2-liter supercharged V8 produces 580hp at 6,000 rpm and 556 lb.-ft. of torque (754 Nm) at 4,200 rpm, while the $54,200 Shelby GT500's 5.8-liter supercharged V8 delivers 662hp at 6,250 rpm and 631 lb.-ft. (856Nm) of torque at 4,000 rpm.

We've seen plenty of timepieces inspired by cars and/or their dashboards, but if the kind of, sort of, not-really-but, loosely reminds me of a vehicle's instruments type of watch doesn't wow you, here's an alternative proposal that may or may not suite your need for speed.

It's called the Max Speed Speedometer Car Watch (the timepiece name equivalent of Wheelsandmore...) from Gadgets and Gear and it's designed to encompass all the usual dials found on your instrument panel.

Although one of the oldest models on the market since it was launched...two years before Ronald Reagan came into office, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is also if not the, one of the most capable luxury off-roaders money (lots of it…) can buy these days.

And it is this quality that Mercedes-Benz wants to promote in its newest TV spots for the revised G-Wagen named "Style" and "Navigation", both of which can be viewed in the videos that follow right past the break.

Less than two months after we showed you a strange video with a very hip-hoppy truck, a second vehicle has been spotted dancing on the roads of Russia, this time, a yellow passenger (?) van.

If you have 46 seconds to spare, the video awaits your curiosity right after the jump.

When it comes to setting speed records, power does matter. And with 1,700-1,800-horses on the crankshaft and a whopping 1,500hp on the wheels, the Lamborghini Gallardo with a twin-turbocharged V10 engine prepared by Underground Racing definitely has what it takes to get your speed adrenaline pumping.

At the recent Unlim 500+ drag race event in Russia, the Lamborghini Gallardo TT by Underground Racing clocked a top speed of 405km/h (251.7mph) in a little over a mile.

You can watch the attempt in the videos that follow below the break.

BMW's first ever production Z model is turning 25 this year and to celebrate the occasion, the official Z1 Club is organizing a special tour from June 2 to 9, the main highlight of which will be a visit to the BMW Group's facilities in Munich on Friday, June 8. Read more »

Pocket Rocket 252hp Audi A1 Quattro Tested on Gravel and Tarmac

Even though Audi's quattro GmbH engineers may have developed the A1 Quattro with gravel in mind as part of its rally heritage, we somehow find it hard to believe that any one of the 333 owners of the limited production model would actually drive it off the road.

And this is why press cars and magazines exist… German publication Sport Auto took an Audi A1 Quattro to test it on both tarmac and gravel, giving us a short taste of what to expect from the upcoming issue of the magazine through a teaser video that you can watch after the jump.

Earlier this year, federal safety regulators at NHTSA released a report saying that women drivers involved in pedal misapplication crashes outnumber men by a margin of roughly 2 to 1 – and before you make a snarky remark, learn that the same study found that male drivers account for approximately 60 percent of all crashes…

We do not know if there's a corresponding study in Turkey, but this past weekend in Beşiktaş, a municipality of Istanbul, a female driver of a latest generation Porsche 911 Turbo (997) with the license plate number "34 GTA 11" mistook the gas pedal for the brake as she was turning into a gas station to fill up her sports car.

Instead of coming to a halt in front of the gas pump, the young woman hit the pedal and freed the 911 Turbo's ponies catapulting the coupe first into a parked car and then into the store behind it…

The driver and her female friend were not hurt but a gas station employee had to be taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
