Officially unveiled yesterday in Los Angeles, the Tesla Model X " can hit 0-60 in 4.4-seconds, will cost around the same as the Model S, and it has those cool "falcon" gullwing-like doors." Pricing starts at $50,000 after tax rebates and incentives. Click here to see more. Continue reading for two videos from the live unveiling.

With the batteries housed in the same low skateboard as the S, the X has a lot of space. Since the CUV doesn't need a combustion engine, there are actually two trunks: one in front and one in the back.

Unlike its predecessors, the 2012 Lotus Exige S "now has to cope with the 3.5-litre supercharged V6 from the Evora S; this means the Exige is no longer such a small car - the new one is wider, longer, and, yes, heavier too -- by about 170kg, which in Lotus-land is a lot."

So it looks like the Exige is changing. It used to be a track car that worked on the road, currently it feels like a road car that's devastating on track - bigger, smoother, marginally less precise and noticeably heavier than before.

More than just your standard hatchback, the Kia Track'ster "ticks all our boxes with all-wheel-drive, a six-speed transmission, and a 250-hp turbocharged four-banger underhood." No word yet on pricing or availability. Click here for more pictures. Continue reading for a video.

Inside, the Soul's rear bench has been binned in favor of a fully-integrated equipment tray and spare tyre well. Handy, as Kia wants this concept to be a road-going track fiend.

Weighing in at under 3300-pounds, the 2015 Audi R8 will pack "a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the monocoque will be a lighter, aluminum and carbon affair." Pricing and availability have not yet been announced. Click here for more pictures. In similar news, continue reading for a review of the 2012 Audi R8 GT.

The evolution or disappearance of the sideblades on the "clean-sheet design" also wasn't broached, but the trademark signifiers don't appear in Autocar's rendering. The report states that it will take cues from the R8 e-tron (pictured), but they see intakes at the door shut-line, which feature very MP4-12C-like dual strakes.

Powered by the Gallardo's 5.2-liter V-10 with 560 bhp, Lamborghini's all-new SUV "will most likely be based on the next Q7, a 5-door with high ground clearance." Pricing and availability have not yet been announced. Continue reading for one more picture.

Lambo SUV will have a front-engine layout with all-wheel drive. As it's a Lamborghini, expect lots of lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum.

More than just eye candy, the stunning Jaguar C-X75 boasts four separate electric motors located in the wheels, delivering 196 horsepower each; these engines are run on batteries powered by two micro-gas turbines. Click here to see more. Continue reading for a test drive video.

The Jaguar engineers estimate that the car could reach 205 mph with a driving range of 560 miles.

In this just-released Super Bowl commercial, "Jerry Seinfeld is so excited about the new Acura NSX that he will stop at nothing to acquire the very first one." Continue reading to see what he goes through in order to get the very first vehicle off the production line.

Though we wouldn't think the creator and namesake of the hit TV show Seinfeld would need any more money (syndication ftw!), here he is shilling for Acura, obsessed with being first in line for a product that the Japanese automaker isn't expected to begin selling until 2015.

For most people, even seeing a Lamborghini in-person is something special, but these designers have taken that dream to the next level by creating their own versions of what they'd like to see in a supercar. Continue reading to see five of the coolest Lamborghini concepts.

At $1000000, this 2005 Chrysler 300C was driven by President Barack Obama when he was "an Illinois State Senator during 2004." Plus, "he [was elected] to the U.S. Senate in November of 2004 and perhaps drove the car in Washington D.C. and back to Chicago from 2005 to 2006." Click here for more pictures. Continue reading to see what happened when Obama's limousine got stuck on a ramp in Dublin last year.

At $185000, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 not only boasts a new 4.0-liter, 500-horsepower flat six, but also adds a "carbon-fiber hood and front fender, rose-jointed lower arms in the rear suspension and even lightweight carpets" from the GT2 RS. Click here for more pictures. Continue reading for the video review.

As far as I'm concerned, the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is the finest road car to wear the shield of Stuttgart on its nose. A car capable of making even the 3.8 GT3 RS look compromised and the GT2 RS overblown and unnecessary. It is hard indeed to think of a finer way of signing off than this.
