  • 2017 Maserati Quattroporte

    German brands may dominate the full-size luxury sedan segment, but there are a few compelling alternatives that aren’t as predictable. One is Maserati’s Quattroporte, which has just undergone a substantial update for the 2017 model year. The big sedan, the nameplate’s sixth generation, arrived in its current form as a 2014 model. It was the first model in Maserati’s ongoing brand renaissance and brought a new platform, new design language and new suite of engines built by Ferrari [NYSE:RACE].

  • 2016 Tesla Model S

    You can now buy a Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] Model S from as low as $67,200 thanks to a new entry-level model with a 60-kilowatt-hour rating. The car comes with rear-wheel drive (Model S 60) though for an additional $5,000 buyers can take home an all-wheel-drive version (Model S 60D). Until recently the Model S 70 served as the entry-level option in the Model S range. It was priced from $71,200 and came with a 70-kwh rating. It’s been replaced by the Model S 60 but buyers looking for more range can actually upgrade the Model S 60 to a Model S 75 by paying $8,500 at the time of order or...

  • Toyota FT-1 concept

    With a new trademark application in Europe, the on-again, off-again, long-awaited Toyota Supra revival is back on the rumor treadmill. Once again, the rumors of its rebirth focus on a platform co-developed with BMW and shared with an upcoming Z4 successor. One problem: It's been a long time since the Supra was new in Toyota showrooms, and while the time may be right for its return, the state of the art in sports cars has changed a lot since the last Supra arrived in the mid-1990s. ALSO SEE: No wagon for you! Awesome longroofs the U.S. misses out on But what does a new Supra need to be? Let's...

  • 2017 Nissan GT-R

    I’ve just snaked through legendary Eau Rouge and Raidillon S-turns at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, careful not to drive over the rumble strips because, in the rain, their paint has a different traction coefficient than the asphalt and that could send the 565-horsepower 2017 Nissan GT-R off into the trees. At the urging of my instructor, I put my right foot to the floor a little earlier than I wanted to as I approached the Kemmel Straight. The speedometer keeps climbing: 200 kph, 210, 220. And now it’s time to brake hard for the right-left-right combination of Les Combes at 230...
