  • 2017 Alpine A110

    The long road to the market return of the Alpine sports car brand is almost over. It was in late 2012 that French automaker Renault announced plans to partner with British track car specialist Caterham to develop a platform to underpin a future sports car for Alpine and a similar model for Caterham. (Renault bought Alpine in 1973.) By 2014 Caterham had dropped plans for its sports car to focus on its core track car range, leaving Renault to take over the project. Renault has continued to develop its own sports car since then and in early 2016 we got a preview in the form of the Alpine Vision...

  • 2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe
    2017 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe first drive review: seeing what sticks

    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...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE

    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 notches with Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) suspension featuring monotube adjustable ride-height front strut dampers, 19-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires (305s up front and 325s in the back), and a 6-speed manual as God intended. The power...

    2018 Audi S4 preview

    The Audi A4 is an appealing compact luxury sedan with the cachet of the Audi name and the inherent goodness of German engineering. So, what's the S4? Well, it's just that much better. The 2018 Audi S4 is also better than the car it replaces. Under the hood sits a longitudinally mounted, twin-scroll...

  • Teaser for Techrules GT96 debuting at 2017 Geneva auto show

    A Chinese company by the name of Techrules will use the 2017 Geneva auto show to introduce an extended-range electric supercar with a three-seat layout and central driving position, à la the McLaren F1. (Note, McLaren is working on its own modern three-seat supercar.) Unique to the Techrules car, however, will be individual jet fighter-style canopies for each of the seats, which is a design more like that of the Homer. Techrules says the design was chosen because of the excellent visibility it affords. The company also states that a “theatrical arrival” is guaranteed...

    2017 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance first drive review

    The word hybrid is indelibly attached to the Toyota Prius, a vehicle renowned for its frugality. And when the suffix plug-in is added, perhaps the first car to come to mind is the Chevrolet Volt.

  • Teaser for 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon debuting at 2017 New York auto show

    We know the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will pack more power than its 707-horsepower Hellcat sibling, but this is just one of the factors that will enable the car to launch off the line much harder. In the latest installment of its teaser campaign for the Demon, which debuts April 12 at the 2017 New York auto show, Dodge detailed some of the mods designed to help the car claw at the road and get down the line quicker. We already learned that custom 315/40-size Nitto NT05R tires will be fitted at each corner. These are street-legal drag radials with a 15 percent larger contact patch...

    Wouldn't we all love to be Marty McFly? Then we could travel back in time to 1955, play Chuck Berry's 1958 song "Johnny B. Goode," and look like geniuses. The car guy equivalent would be going back to 1995, buying a Porsche 911 GT2 for just over six figures, socking it away for a couple decades...

    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.
