    Ferrari’s 488 GTB was only introduced for 2016 but the mid-engine marvel is actually an update of the 458 Italia introduced for 2010, meaning a replacement model can’t be far. A 488 GTB has just been spotted by one of our photographers and is very likely an early test mule for Ferrari’s next-generation mid-engine supercar. There doesn’t appear to be any changes to the body but the window into the engine bay has been completely sealed, suggesting there might be a new powertrain being tested. There are also concealed wires leading to the front wheel arches. This is...

    2017 Honda Civic Type R sets front-wheel-drive ‘Ring record

    Honda has done it. The automaker’s 2017 Civic Type R is now the fastest front-wheel-drive production car around the Nürburgring. The 306-horsepower hot hatch required just 7:43.8 to lap the 12.9 miles of the full Nürburgring Nordschleife to reclaim the record from Volkswagen and its...

  • 2017 McLaren 570GT
    McLaren rules out 4-door car but says 4-seater possible

    McLaren’s most practical model at present is the 570GT which sports a bit of additional storage space on top of the engine bay. But the car is still only a two-seater which means McLaren has no alternative to rival Ferrari’s GTC4 Lusso four-seater, as well as Lamborghini’s...

  • 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
    The fat Dodge Demon brakes harder than a Viper ACR

    Haters love to bash the Hellcats, and already the Demon, for only going fast in a straight line. They pounce on the fact that these Mopar muscle cars weigh over two tons. While that's true, weight is only one piece of the equation. Despite being somewhat "fat," the Demon is good at more than just...

  • 2018 Maserati Ghibli facelift spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Maserati’s Ghibli will soon come in for a subtle facelift. Prototypes for the updated car have been spotted ahead of a likely debut late this year or early next. Recall the current Ghibli made its debut in 2013, as a 2014 model. The tweaks are part of a mid-cycle update to keep the mid-size sport sedan looking fresh among a band of rivals that have mostly been redesigned in the past year. The positioning of the camouflage gear suggests some tweaks to the bumpers. We should also see the grille adopt the more rigid design implemented for the larger Quattroporte’s own mid-cycle...

  • 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro
    2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro first drive review: the everyman's Raptor

    The Toyota Tacoma's "just right" recipe has long made it a leader among smaller (but still rather large) pickups, and this year the most capable out-of-the-box Taco TRD Pro offers an even more compelling reason to get dirty. It's sort of a "Raptor Lite," an off-road-ready pickup built up to save...

  • 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
    How the Dodge Demon runs a 9.65 quarter mile and a 2.3-second 0-60

    Dodge will tell you that the Challenger Hellcat can run an 11.20 ET in the quarter mile, a number that can go as low as 10.80 with drag radials. But Dodge didn't build the 707-horsepower Hellcat as a drag car. It built it as an everyday muscle car, and getting its (relatively) skinny 275-millimeter...

  • Mercedes-Benz A Sedan concept, 2017 Shanghai auto show

    Mercedes-Benz already has the CLA, but the automaker sees room for a second, more practical sedan in its compact car family. This new sedan was previewed on Wednesday at the 2017 Shanghai auto show by the A Sedan concept which also heralds the new look for Mercedes’ next-generation compacts. The new look is clearly an evolution of Mercedes’ current design language known as Sensual Purity, and is contrasted by more defined proportions and smoother surfacing. “Our concept A Sedan shows that the time of creases is over,” Mercedes design boss Gorden Wagener said in a...

  • 2018 Porsche 911 GT3, 2017 New York auto show

    In a hypothetical bar, over hypothetical drinks between hypothetical friends, Porsche’s director for its GT model line, Andreas Preuninger, imagines a hypothetical conversation about hypothetical numbers. “People are discussing lap times that they can never achieve themselves over a beer,” Preuninger said. His tone reflected less interest than a checking account. The 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 lives in reality—not lap times—and it’s a good thing, he insisted.
