Mercedes-Benz stunned audiences at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show with its Concept S-Class Coupe, and soon we’ll being seeing its production cousin, which its designers promise will retain close to 90 percent of the sultry concept’s lines.

The 2015 BMW i8 is, as yet, an enigma. It promises solid, if not breathtaking performance. It also promises fantastic gas mileage (though we don't know exactly how much yet). While we'll have to wait until we can get our hands on one to render our own opinions, this video from BMW goes into greater detail about how the hybrid and gasoline engine systems work together to provide BMW-worthy performance. Of course, that hybrid system is just one of the many high-tech aspects of the new i8. Combining a 131-horsepower electric motor on the front axle with a turbocharged 231-horsepower...

The 2015 Subaru WRX didn’t turn out to be the rocket we’d been hoping for ever since we laid eyes upon the stunning concept version that previewed the car. Its styling is still reminiscent of the Impreza on which it’s based and its performance, in terms of both speed and efficiency, isn’t boosted much over the outgoing model. Going some way towards explaining this is the man that oversaw its development, Masuo Takatsu. Speaking in the video above, the Subaru engineer outlines the development goals for the 2015 WRX. For Takatsu, the most important thing when developing...

2015 Subaru WRX First DriveThe 2015 Subaru WRX may be the most perfect shelter ever ginned up for Internet trolls. We're already super-familiar with their super-tired take on the new turbo all-wheel-drive sedan.

You saw the static photos of the 2015 Subaru WRX following its debut at the recent 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show; now watch it as it tears up a dirt track just like the original rally versions that once dominated WRC. The new WRX isn’t quite the standalone beast we were expecting. In fact, the car looks a lot like the regular Impreza with which it shares a platform. However, don’t be fooled by the mundane looks, as the latest WRX is every bit as capable, if not more so, than any of its predecessors. Gone is the previous turbocharged 2.5-liter engine, replaced instead by new...
