  • 2012 Lotus Exige S live photos

    Lotus revealed its sharp-edged Exige S coupe at last year’s Frankfurt Auto Show, and since then has occasionally teased the car in videos. Now the Hethel-based automaker is doing a full-court-press video release on the car, covering both its design and testing. The recipe for the Exige S is well proven: start with a sports car near the end of its life, then add more power, a wider track, stickier tires, a rear roll bar, bigger brakes and a selector knob that allows the driver to choose between Normal, Sport, Race and Tour modes of suspension tuning and stability control. More power...

  • 2013 Nissan 370Z
    Next Nissan Z May Rely On Less For More

    As automakers grow more concerned with tightening fuel economy and emission regulations, dedicated and limited-demand sports cars like the Nissan 370Z get increasingly hard to justify for mainstream car makers. A new version of the venerable sport coupe is due to hit the market for the 2015 model...

  • 2012 Lexus LFA in Black Amethyst
    Lexus Teases The First (And Only) Black Amethyst LFA

    One of the advantages to ordering a $375,000 automobile is the amount of personalization you can request. While Lexus may not offer up the same number of bespoke options that Rolls-Royce does, there’s still an impressive amount of factory customization available to LFA buyers. For exterior...

  • 2013 Scion FR-S
    Is Scion's FR-S Causing Price Pressure On Subaru's BRZ?

    Despite coming from a shared design, the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ came to market in the United States with completely different sales philosophies, aimed at slightly different demographics. The Subaru BRZ would be better-equipped, with base “Premium” models including things like...

  • 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe
    BMW 235i To Debut M Performance Line In U.S.

    When it comes to M Performance vehicles from BMW, so far U.S. customers have gotten the short end of the stick. While buyers in Europe can snap up all the M550d xDrive sedans, or X5 M50d crossovers, or X6 M50d crossovers they want, these models are not-for-U.S.-consumption. Worse, we’re...

  • 2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition

    The current BMW M3 is on its way out, set to be replaced in the near future by a brand new generation. However, the current model still has plenty of life left in it and to prove it BMW has unveiled a new special edition model developed exclusively for the North American market and honoring the Lime Rock Park race track in the northwest hills of Connecticut. The popular race track just so happens to be owned and operated by racing instructor Skip Barber, and the latest special edition M3 celebrates the longstanding relationship between BMW, Lime Rock Park, and the thousands of drivers and...

  • Chevy prepares to celebrate six decades of the Corvette
    Chevrolet Celebrates 60 Years Of Corvettes: Video

    It may seem hard to believe, but the Chevrolet Corvette turns 60 in 2013. Over the car’s six-decade life, it’s been transformed from an underpowered and hastily slapped-together roadster (the original 1953 model) to a world class sports car (most recently, the Corvette ZR1) and...

  • A McLaren MP4-12, destroyed on a test drive in Germany
    McLaren MP4-12C Test Drive Ends In Crash, Fire

    By anyone’s standards, the 616-horsepower McLaren MP4-12C (and soon, the MP4-12C Spider) is a fast car. Thanks to its advanced electronic stability control system, it’s also a very safe car, even in the hands of drivers unfamiliar with the car. Despite this, the car is still governed by...

  • 2013 Shelby GT350
    Shelby American Announces Specs For 2013 GT350

    If you’ve been holding off buying a Shelby GT350 Mustang because you weren’t fond of the color choices, we’ve got some good news for you. Beginning with 2013 production, Shelby American will build you a GT350 in any color that Ford sprays the Mustang. Want a Gotta Have It Green...

  • Toyota's GRMN FR Sports Car Concept
    Toyota Shows Its GRMN FR Sports Car Concept At Goodwood

    The Toyota GT86 (sold here as the Scion FR-S) is arguably the most anticipated car of the past decade, but enthusiasts began clamoring for more power almost as soon as the car hit the market. While Toyota views that as the job of the aftermarket, it’s happy to showcase the work of tuning...

  • Infiniti Essence Concept
    Infiniti's Emerge-E May Not Be Its Halo Car After All

    In many ways, Infiniti is a luxury automaker in search of an identity. Its claim to fame has always been building luxury cars with a performance edge, yet the automaker has no flagship sports car to call its own. That’s particularly problematic when you consider how much the brand is pouring...

  • 2012 BMW M6 Coupe

    We’ve already given you all the news that’s fit to print about BMW’s 2012 M6 Coupe and Convertible models, including our first drive report on the open air version, published earlier this month. We’ve praised the M6’s TwinPower Turbo 4.4-liter V-8, which makes 560 horsepower and some 502 pound-feet of torque, on tap from just 1,500 rpm. If you’re keeping score at home, BMW claims that the beast under the M6’s hood is the most powerful engine ever available in a series-produced BMW M model. It's worth noting that BMW uses the same engine in the all-new...

    Scion Explains The Limited Slip Differential In The 2013 Scion FR-S: Video

    Traction isn’t something that most drivers think about, since under normal weather conditions, at or near posted speed limits, there’s plenty to go around. On the race track, however, the ability to get power to the ground becomes critical. Enter the limited-slip differential, like the...

  • 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish

    Aston Martin's Vanquish is back. Revived in celebration of the historic automaker’s centenary taking place next year, the new Vanquish is both forward-looking yet still hinting at the past. It will serve as Aston Martin’s flagship now that the One-77 supercar is officially sold out and sales of the DBS are wrapping up, and has been one of the worst kept secrets of the year. A concept version dubbed the AM 310 was quietly rolled out at the 2012 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy, and then a completed car bearing the “Vanquish” name on its trunk was spotted...

    Track-Focused 2013 Jaguar XKR-S Spy Shots

    To most, the 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S is about as hardcore as you’d ever want a Jaguar to be. However, for buyers that like to take their cars to the track, race them, and then drive them home again, even the XKR-S may not be focused enough. This has led management at Jaguar to develop a...
