The Porsche 959 is a rare beast, especially on these shores, and now one is coming up for sale. Auction house Gooding & Company will be offering this sinister-looking black 1988 ‘Komfort’ model for sale during August’s 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance...

Growing up, I knew that the Porsche 911 was a good car. I never quite fell in love with it in the same way that other automotive enthusiasts did. For some reason, it never tugged at my heart strings enough to make me go in and memorize all of the variations and generational code names like the...

Started from the bottom, now he's here... We'll admit the name The Collector is a bit lame unless you're talking about Taneleer Tivan and The Guardians of the Galaxy. Still, the producers of this wonderful video probably applied it to him since he doesn't really want you to know exactly who he is...

Vintage Ferraris are pretty much untouchable machines in a number of ways. You can't afford them. You won't see one on the road. You better stop dreaming about ever driving one, because that's not going to happen. Well it might happen if you're Chris Harris. Not the "affording" bit, but rather the...

There are certain concept cars that stand out from the rest. You'll remember them long after the idea of such a vehicle has come and gone without ever inching closer towards production.

Though it's oft repeated, it's repeated for a reason: the Jaguar E-Type remains one of the greatest looking vehicles ever made. On top of that, it's a joy to drive. Especially if you can get your hands on one equipped with a 4.2-liter straight six under the long hood and a convertible roof to let...
