The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has long been an automotive icon, one of the best cars in the world--and for more than 50 years, the vehicle of choice for prosperous German businessmen. Against it, the BMW 7-Series and the Audi A8 still seem like pretenders. In Manhattan or Tokyo or Rio or Dubai, the...

The Lamborghini Estoque concept thrilled fans of the brand when it made its debut back in 2008, but since then, despite intermittent rumors of a production intent for the car, it has fallen by the wayside.

Dutch supercar startup Vencer was only established in 2010 but now, just four years on, the company has unveiled its first product, the Sarthe. We first caught wind of Vencer and its Sarthe back in 2012. Back then, the company had nothing but a few computer-generated images and the promise of...

It took all day--a scramble out of L.A. morning rush hour toward the canyons, a thread-the-need operation through a few thousand degrees of hairpin turns and ambient degrees F, a drive-by through a Malibu hotel porte-cochere, a half-hour of stop-and-go traffic. It came down to the last mile of bad...

The task automakers face when they have to update established sporty coupes or roadsters, like the Audi TT, is nothing to be envied.
