Maserati Launches MC Sport Line In Bologna With Special Edition GranTursimo S
The lack of SEMA-worthy accessories holding you back from purchasing a Maserati? No longer. The automaker will now sell you a carbon fiber bodykit, lowered suspension, carbon mirror covers, a carbon steering wheel, and carbon side skirts straight from the showroom. We’re actually digging this white and black Maserati GranTurismo S, but we’d probably say “no thanks” to the tacky carbon bolt-ons.

Commenter Of The Day: Leaving On A Jet Plane Edition
The song "Leaving On A Jet Plane" may have been made famous by Peter, Paul and Mary but it was actually written by high-like-the-Rockies John Denver while stuck in an airport waiting for his flight. It was such a hit for PP&M some people believe the John Denver version is the cover and not the other way around. After writing the song he named it "Oh Babe I Hate To Go" but that name was mercifully changed by one of his producers. We always took Liz Phair's "Stratford-on-Guy" from Exile in Guyville as the stuck-circling-Chicago-O'Hare equivalent of Denver's song, but maybe that's us. Ben highlighted the trouble with flying your car on this plane-crazed day and Graverobber had an airborne song of his own to match. More » -
Project Car Hell
PCH, Don't Settle For Imitation Lambos Edition: Wrecked Murcielago or Long-Dormant Espada?
Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! Yesterday, the Warsaw Pact Hell Truck Projects ran just about neck and neck, with the trio of Romanian AROs beating the Soviet GAZ-69 in a 51:49 split. Today… well, after looking at all the backyard Lambos I've found lately, it seems like a good idea to have some real Lamborghini Hell Projects. Most of the time, it's tough to find a Lamborghini that isn't in great shape, since most of them don't exactly wear out their odometers during their lifetimes, but we've got a couple of genuine projects for you!

2010 Mazda3 Hatchback
2010 Mazda3 Hatchback Shows Off Sexy New Rear Live In Bologna
The men of Jalopnik are proud of our love for big butts. We strongly prefer hatchbacks to their sedan counterparts; not only do they have more cargo room, but they’re more aerodynamic and better looking to boot. While we were stuck with the reveal of the 2010 Mazda3 sedan in LA, Bologna’s been blessed with the live unveil of the 2010 Mazda3 hatchback, its 5-doors making the most of the new global platform. Click through for full details, straight from Mazda’s smiley new mouth.

3-Banger Or V12, The Crusher Does Not Discriminate: BMW 750i Checking Out Of This Life
I was scoping BMWs at the Half Price Sale at a local self-service wrecking yard on Thanksgiving weekend, looking for a good long battery cable from a trunk-mounted-battery model (so's I could get the race car rigged with the battery cutoff switch now mandated by 24 Hours Of LeMons rules), and something about this one jumped out at me. Hey, that engine has way more cylinders than most! Yes, it's a BMW V12, and it was working well enough to drive the car to its final wreck. Someone needs to put this powerplant in a Chevy Nova!

ROUSH Propane-Powered F-150: First Drive
Our gratuitous burnout ripping the tires to shreds demonstrates this ROUSH F-150 burns petroleum-based rubber. However, this very special pickup doesn't fuel up with pedestrian dinosaur juices like gas or diesel. Instead, it's powered fully by propane, the same thing powering a backyard grill.

Backyard Lambo Of The Day
Backyard Lambo Of The Day: Canadian Turbo Buick-Powered Diablo
Just to show that not all Fauxborghinis are Fieroborghinis, we've got another tube-frame, turbo Buick V6-powered machine, from way up north in Alberta. The engine has a claimed 400 horses, feeding a modified Audi transaxle… but, sadly, it appears that only two of the wheels are being driven. We can't help but think that it would have been more fun to put some kind of Big Daddy Roth-style bubble-canopy body on a setup like this, but the world prefers Lambos!

Fisker Karma Gets A Starting Price Of $87,900, We Get First Front Shot Of Tesla-Killer
Following yesterday's hind end reveal of the Fisker Karma Tesla-killer, today we get a low-resolution peek at its nose ahead of an official reveal at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Again we see the production-intent car mimics the concept car almost identically, though the grille is revised nicely for a much sleeker look. But what of the details of this unique luxury automobile? More » -

How Not To Load Your Ferrari On A Plane
Getting your favorite Ferrari F430 out of the ever-lovin' middle of nowhere in Kyrgyzstan certainly presents some challenges, but anonymous oligarchs cannot be denied their whims. The roads in this forgotten part of the world are considered apocalypse-grade, the only real way out is by air. Enter the Russian AN12, an aircraft normally used to ship palletized goods, but here, it's been drafted for Ferrari shipping duty.
