  • Lamborghini Huracán Performante, 2017 Geneva auto show

    A few days ago we learned that the forthcoming Lamborghini Huracán Performante had set a new lap record for a production car of 6:52.01 on the 12.8-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife. At the time, we knew only a few details about the car, including the fact that it has active aerodynamics and more power than your average Huracán. Now we know the rest of the story. At the Geneva motor show, Lamborghini unveiled the lightweight version of its V-10-powered supercar. The 5.2-liter V-10 in the Huracán Performante is amped up to 640 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 442 pound-feet of...

  • 2018 McLaren 720S Velocity by MSO
    McLaren already showing off how to customize 720S with 'Velocity' by MSO

    So you thought the 2018 McLaren 720S was cool, huh? You think a $280,000 starting price is exclusive? Think again, because McLaren already has an MSO-prepped car on its stand in Geneva to show buyers how they can personlize the brand's new Super Series model. It's called the McLaren 720S "Velocity"...

  • Audi RS 5, 2017 Geneva auto show
    New Audi RS 5 debuts with 450-hp twin-turbo V-6

    Audi Sport (formerly Audi Quattro) unveiled a new generation of its RS 5 on Tuesday at the 2017 Geneva auto show. As expected, the car has ditched its predecessor’s naturally-aspirated V-8 and adopted a twin-turbocharged V-6 power. The engine is the same twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6 that...

He's also an unabashed lover of all things Alfa Romeo. The man has a number of those Italian beauties that he calls his own, and he...

  • 2017 Bentley Continental Supersports and Supersports Convertible
    Bentley bringing its high-performance heat to Geneva

    The Geneva Motor Show is nearly here, which means you're about to be flooded with a sea of supremely powerful and luxurious machines. That's a good thing, of course, because it means we get to ogle British-born rocketships from the likes of Bentley. A case in point is the new Continental...

  • 2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe

    Its impossible not to notice that the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 has too much tire. The 225- and 245-millimeter, 19-inch Pirelli P Zero rubber sticks to the road like hot Doublemint, and the standard traction control setting has a short leash anyway. Back and forth in the C43 along coastal roads, we find investing too much into the throttle pays only small dividends. Every motion up and down the canyons of Southern California is quick and without drama, too. Nose in to a corner with too much gusto, and the front tires feel like they cut slip angle down to the Fed's fund rate. Too quick with...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
    The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE just arrived to destroy everything

    Just before the running of the 2017 Daytona 500, Chevrolet has taken the wraps off the new 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE. What is it? In short, a ZL1 with enhanced aero and some cool suspension technology. As if the new Camaro ZL1 wasn't going to be track-ready enough, the 1LE version cranks things up a few...

    Lexus LC F edges closer with trademark filing

    New evidence suggests Lexus is planning a high-performance LC developed by the F division. Lexus parent company Toyota has made trademark filings for “LC F” and “Lexus LC F” with trademark offices in the United States and Europe. The most recent filings were made on February...

  • Bugatti Chiron
    2017 Bugatti Chiron preview

    In the supercar world, a V-8 will cut it, a V-10 is better, and a V-12 is the most desired engine. Then there's Bugatti, the French brand that laughs at your measly V-12 and ups the ante to 16 cylinders. Bugatti started its 16-cylinder, ungodly power onslaught in 2005 with the Veyron. The car's...

    Video tour of the 2018 Ford Mustang's exterior changes

    Ford made headlines a couple weeks ago by showing us the updated 2018 Mustang coupe, then released information on the 2018 Mustang convertible just a few days later. We've already described the changes and showed you the pictures, but now Ford has created a video to illustrate the changes as plain...

  • 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS

    Cape Town, South Africa - I'm at the wheel of the 2017 Porsche 911 GTS at Killarney Raceway behind 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Marc Lieb and I'm frustrated. Lieb, in the even more powerful 911 Turbo S, is setting a leisurely pace and I want to pass him. It's not because I'm some world-class driver. Another well-meaning but less confident journalist is trailing behind and Lieb needs to keep this lead-follow trio together. The other journalist is going as fast as he can within his comfort zone. I'm going at about six tenths. This amazing piece of German engineering is barely exercised, and...

    2017 Subaru BRZ: playing in Spain

    If you're still complaining about the Subaru BRZ's lack of turbo, you probably don't quite understand how Subaru--with help from Toyota--developed this sports car. From the beginning, the point was to save as much weight as possible, and that doesn't change with a 2017 update. Subaru has given the...

    2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe spy shots

    Ford Mustang V-6 discontinued as part of 2018 refresh

    The V-6-powered Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Mustang is dead. As part of the popular pony car's 2018 refresh, Ford is killing the entry level engine, just three years after reducing it to a supporting role.

  • 2018 Lexus LC500

    It's been kicking around the auto show circuit for a while now, but the stunning 2018 Lexus LC 500 is finally one step closer to adding some eye candy to a road near you. Lexus has announced pricing for the LC 500 and the LC 500h, and both models wear a starting price tag that lands a few ticks below the $100,000 mark. If you want the standard LC 500, you'll need to shell out at least $92,975. That will get you the "base" car which has a 471-horsepower 5.0-liter V-8 mounted under that long nose. Making use of that power and the 398 pound-feet of torque on tap is a 10-speed automatic...
