    Aston Martin is going to great lengths to develop a world-beating hypercar in the form of the Valkyrie, including snagging hugely successful Formula 1 race car designer Adrian Newey to be the project's lead. Fortunately, all of the knowledge gained and technology developed for the project won't be exclusively relegated to the 175 Valkyries bound for production (150 road cars and 25 track-only Valkyrie AMR Pros). You see, the goal of the Valkyrie is to establish Aston Martin's credibility in the world of mid-engine cars. There are more to come, and lessons learned in developing the Valkyrie...

  • Smart Forease+ concept

    Smart rolled out the Forease speedster concept last October to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the original Fortwo, as well as preview design elements bound for future models. For this week's 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Smart rolled out the updated Forease+ concept, which thanks to its convertible roof is more suited to everyday use. The removable roof consists of a hard shell with a fabric lining and is extremely light, meaning swapping in and out is easy. We still wouldn't call it practical, though. The lack of any form of side windows and the open rear means...

Instead, the NX F Sport Black Line comes in three colors: Arctic White, Obsidian (black), and Atomic Silver. No matter the color, each model receives 19-inch split-spoke wheels and a "sport body side graphic." Lexus also mentions that the wheels help accentuate the crossover's stance, which is lower...

Subaru has now redesigned the Legacy, with the covers having come off the...

  • 2020 Toyota Sequoia, 2019 Chicago Auto Show

    It's not only American brands offering full-size off-roaders these days. Having already joined the fun with a Tundra pickup packed with off-road goodies engineered under the TRD Pro banner, Toyota is now giving the Sequoia SUV the same treatment. Making its debut on Thursday at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, the 2020 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro with its seating for seven makes it possible for even big families to head off-road. Key to the vehicle's off-road chops is the custom suspension with TRD-tuned Fox shock absorbers, which are designed to become firmer the more they are compressed to resist...
