South Korean industrial behemoth Samsung may be on the verge of trying its hand at cars again after a failed attempt to establish itself as an automaker in the mid-1990s. This time, however, it could be a very different story, as Samsung may be attempting to leverage its recent success in the mobile industry and its partnerships with Google and the Renault-Nissan Alliance in order to push self-driving electric vehicles. Samsung has filed a number of recent patents related to motors, tires, and onboard electronics. Combined with its lithium-ion battery business, Samsung is likely trying its hand at becoming a top tier one-automotive supplier for electrified vehicles or perhaps even a manufacturing partner for Google and Renault-Nissan.

Nismo has aways had its way of doing things. Unlike AMG or M-Sports, they have always approached the fine-tuning of Nissan sports cars in a bit of a different way, so rather than producing Nismo versions of production models, they have always stuck to offering afermarket tuning parts and package for cars like the Skyline GT-R and Silvia. Now, the GT-R, the big daddy of the brand, has received the Nismo treatment. From a fancier body kit to harder and lower suspension and sports seats, this upgrade has a lot to offer. We’ll let you salivate for a moment on the photo, and wish for Santa to get this to your doors, quick!

It was only two days ago when Jaguar released an ad in which they mocked Mercedes-Benz’s Magic Body Control commercial and now the German marque has released a rather gentle reply. Mercedes-Benz’s marketing department quickly came up with a response, saying the “cat-like reflexes aren’t fast enough” especially when it comes to safely stopping the car which is why the PRE-SAFE brake system offered by Mercedes-Benz is necessary in extreme situations, otherwise you will likely end up hitting the jaguar as suggested in the photo published on Facebook.

Don’t get us wrong — the Aventador is certainly cool, and we could even get behind a pink Aventador, but the weird Pepto-esque tone of this particular pink Lambo is just off-putting, and the paint-matched wheels aren’t helping. Sorry, Nicki, but this one didn’t quite make it.

This white-and-red number was seen cruising along the SLEX. This was the model (different color, of course) used by Vin Diesel’s character in the Fast and Furious 6.
