Now in its 27th year, Essen's Techno-Classica attracts auto enthusiasts from around the globe, and for 2015, Sant'Agata is bringing some serious hardware to the party. It's interesting to note that prior to the Gallardo—of which over 14,000 were produced—vehicles bearing the Raging Bull...

Chris Harris has traveled to Goodwood and he's brought his camera man with him, and that's a very good thing. That's because Harris isn't just there to ogle the pretty machines in attendance. Instead, he's there to drive and race a few of these classic bits of angry iron. This is the 73rd Goodwood...

Normally we’d say a car this extensively damaged has no value except for whatever scrap metal is left, but the wreckage you see here used to be a BMW M1, which means it was one of just 456 examples of the car to ever leave the BMW factory. That gives it some serious cachet, but whether the...

Pre-war Art Deco cars are some of the most beautiful machines ever constructed. But even when viewed amid the rarified air of contemporary French luminaries like Delage, Bugatti and Delahaye, the 1937 Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS can only be described as a breathtaking design achievement. While...

One of the original Herbie star cars is heading to auction, so if you're a fan of precocious movie Beetles now is the time to act.

The Mercedes-Benz 540 K Streamliner is an important piece of history for the automaker. This is a car that was created as a one-off back in 1938, and it was a technical masterpiece for Benz. An aluminum bodied machine that was able to cut through the wind thanks to its supercharged 5.4-liter...

Jay Leno’s managed to get his hands on a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, arguably the most legendary car to wear the three-pointed star. Just last week we saw the very first 300SL to be built, a Briggs Cunningham-owned example from 1954 that’s now listed in the national Historic Vehicle...

Last week, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter attempted to slam the door on whispers Chevrolet is working on a mid-engine version of the Corvette. Of course, it's going take more than reasoned argument and denial from anyone—even automotive royalty like Juechter—to extinguish one...

Based on looks alone, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a car of significance. But this particular example was the first one delivered to a customer in the country, a customer who just so happened to be racing legend Briggs Cunningham, which means it also has some historical significance. That’s why...

There are a number of firms offering replica versions of some classic and much sought-after muscle cars, with one of the most popular candidates for recreation being the original Ford Mustang.

This 1964 Imperial convertible might be gorgeous—but "never been smoked in" probably isn't a claim that can be made about its history. That's because the massive Mopar played the role of advertising executive—and legendary cigarette fiend—Don Draper's personal ride on AMC's Mad...

The DBS name has been used for several cars throughout Aston Martin's history, but as with all things automotive, there was an original.

We often take all of the technological gizmos fitted to modern cars for granted. It only becomes apparent when you hop behind the wheel of a classic that you realize life wasn’t always so convenient. Fortunately for owners of older Porsche 911 models, the men and women at the Porsche Classic...

The Mark 2 by Callum is proof that automotive dreams come true—or at least 12 will. Of course, at between £350,000-£375,000 (approximately $570,000-$610,000) those dreams aren't cheap. In August, Jaguar design chief Ian Callum took delivery of his interpretation of the legendary...

A Ferrari 250 GTO is a glorious automobile that also happens to be actual rolling artwork. It's a combination of stunning body lines wrapped around a glorious engine. It's also an exceedingly rare car, which helps make the average selling price (when one comes to auction) exceedingly high. ALSO...
