Concept Cars

If you’re hoping to drive an electric car, your maximum driving range with the vehicles currently on sale top out at about 250 to 300 miles. Though this limit will surely increase in the longer term, there are ways of getting around this limit already available today. The most obvious is...

In movies, the good guys generally drive the best cars. Pick a James Bond film, for example, and it’s usually 007 with both the coolest ride and and the coolest gadgets. We’d take Frank Bullitt’s Mustang fastback over the plus-sized Dodge Charger, too, although Mopar fans will...

Can’t decide which Lexus you like better, the LFA supercar or the LF-LC concept car? Well, here’s a video that finally puts the two side by side and even includes some driving action, albeit driving action at crawling speed. One is powered by naturally-aspirated V-10 goodness, while the...

Back when Land Rover was in the hands of BMW and developing the third-generation of its iconic Range Rover SUV, there were plans in place to take the vehicle more upmarket. Even then, during the early planning phase of the Mk3 Range Rover, the management at Land Rover knew there was an opportunity...

The 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is about to get underway, and while we'll be bringing you the freshest photos and latest news as it happens, there's a bit of preliminary business to take care of: the previews.

In the 1930s, customers could walk into a Cadillac dealership and configure a car with various body styles, including a convertible top. If luxury car sales were hampered by the Great Depression, sales of luxury convertibles (especially those in the Cadillac’s price range) were even bleaker...

While most car enthusiasts know the Porsche 550 in its Spyder, or open-top, form, Porsche also produced a limited number of 550 Coupes, primarily for competition in endurance racing events. As stunning as the Porsche 550 Spyders are, we actually prefer the lines of the 550 Coupes. Apparently...

It will come with a choice of three supercharged engines, including two V-6s and a V-8...

Fresh off a recent restoration, the 1967 Bertone Jaguar Pirana concept will be one of the featured cars at the upcoming Concorso Italiano, scheduled for Friday, August 17 at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch in Monterey, California. The styling may be Italian, but underneath the Pirana’s futuristic...

BMW’s Z3 roadster, built from 1996 - 2002, wasn’t exactly the Bavarian automaker’s finest effort. Essentially a parts-bin car, it’s primary claim to fame was affordability, and it was relatively successful in bringing the BMW roundel into a new batch of buyers’...
