With its front-engined Gran Turismo-style coupes (hence the name), Maserati perhaps hasn’t got a whole lot of attention lately. Right now if I had to pick a GT, it would be any one of the cars in Aston Martin’s range. I like the Gran Turismo, but for some it perhaps lacks the styling panache of [...]

There’s been a lot of coverage of video games and related things lately at CarThrottle. We recently completed a review on Need for Speed Shift, our first ever video game review. Gran Turismo (this time 5) is another huge racing franchise that is set for a launch next year. Until then, the public relations team has [...]

I love good design – in cars and in houses, technology and more. As part of that, one of the websites I check out often is Architectural Digest where a lot of unique and innovative designs are featured. What does that have to do with automobiles you might say?

BMWBlog has leaked the first actual pictures of BMW’s 5-Series Gran Turismo (GT) Concept! Dubbed to be in the “Progressive Activity Sedan”, the 5-Series GT Concept joins some other recent weird segment blurring vehicles (X6, I’m looking at you). Say hello to the next generation 5-Series !
