The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is already winning accolades—and track comparisons. Soon, it will be aiming straight at the heart of the video game world with a special car that will be featured in the upcoming release of Gran Turismo 6. The gaming world still has a month to wait until the December 6 release date of Gran Turismo 6, but this week at SEMA, Chevy gave us all an early look at one of the hottest cars in the game: the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Gran Turismo Concept. While no modifications have been made to the powertrain, that’s fine by any sports car aficionado...

2014 Porsche Panamera: Best Car To Buy 2014 Nominee
It’s cliche to call the Panamera a four-door 911, but in truth, that’s the most accurate one-liner to peg the car’s nature. Pushed hard, very few other sport sedans really keep up—or prove so willing to run hard. Left to the casual cruising even a 911 is more likely to do...

2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith first drive review
If you're truly rich--or its more discreet cousin, wealthy--you'll barely notice the pricetag on the Rolls-Royce Wraith. BCC your CFO here: It's $289,000, and that's before you've even dabbled in the fittings and finishes that can shave another hundred grand from your offshore accounts. Before...

If you could only sit in one place, for the rest of your life, you could do a lot worse than to pick a seat from the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S Class. As we noted in our first drive of the new S63 AMG, they’re better described as thrones. But that’s just one example of how good the new S Class is. If you’re after technology, power, prestige, or just polished, perfected competence on the road, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S Class is the no-holds-barred pick. It’s simply a very good car. It’s a great car, in fact, if you’re an executive, especially if you have a driver...

The Cadillac CTS has been responsible, over the course of three generations, for not only re-establishing Cadillac’s reputation as a legitimate global luxury brand, but building that image, and, in its third go-round, moving the company into truly world-class territory. That's why it's a...

Chris Harris Drives The 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT: Video
One of the meanest looking cars currently in production is Jaguar’s 2014 XKR-S GT. Built by the automaker’s special projects division, ETO, the XKR-S GT is essentially a race car that has been made street legal. Unfortunately, there’s no additional power on this model, which means...

Update: This image, sourced from Braille Battery, a supplier to the C7.R race car, is apparently not the real thing. We think it will be close to what the final product is, but it's a creation of DeviantArt user davcrea. The new seventh-generation Chevy Corvette Stingray has been making waves since its first stints in the hands of journalists around the world. Soon, it will be making new waves on track, in the form of the C7.R. Previously only seen with a checkerboard camouflage wrap, the first photos of the new C7.R in full livery are out, and it looks just about like you'd expect: very...

How Exciting Is The Corvette Stingray? Biometrics Will Tell You
If you want to tell people your car is exciting, you can go about it in a few different ways. You could put out a dramatic TV commercial, but commercials would have you believe a Corolla is exciting, so that isn't the best way. Much better is to strap people into the car, let them drive it, and...

2014 BMW i3 first drive review
BMW enthusiasts have had several years to get used to the tradition-breaking SUVs and crossovers which infiltrated the once sedan-only range, but electric cars are a different proposition altogether. Particularly short, upright electric cars like the 2014 BMW i3, the firm's first true production...

BMW Racks Up 8,000 Orders For i3, Considers Expanding Production
BMW's i3 electric car hasn't caused nearly as much foaming at the mouth from BMW traditionalists as many expected it would. Even if it had, BMW probably wouldn't care: It's already taken 8,000 orders for the car in Europe alone, says Bloomberg, and as a result is mulling production increases to...

Yesterday we told you about getting the chance to learn more about the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. Today we're showing you what it's like to ride shotgun in the car as it's flung around the Milford Road Course at General Motors' Proving Grounds. The driver stated that he was only running at 8/10ths, yet we still managed to nearly clip 150 mph on the main straight. This wheelman could brake extremely late for corners, apply power and get it right on demand as he passed the apex, and both of those details meant the Z/28 could enter and exit every corner on the track with tremendous speed. The...

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Is The Real Track-Focused Deal: First Ride
Chevrolet told us... We were told that the automaker would only bring back the Z/28 moniker if there was a car that warranted the badge. You can't simply slap together a few performance bits, gather some marketing folk to drum up a cliche-laden press release, and then shove a poorly thought out...

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Laps The ‘Ring In 7:37.47: Video
In developing the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, engineers were almost entirely focused on track capability, and it appears their endevors have paid off as the car has now lapped Germany’s Nürburgring, one of the toughest tracks on the planet, in a time of 7:37.47. That might not sound very...
