  • 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe, 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show

    The Jaguar F-Type Coupe has finally come, and it’s the production embodiment of the beautiful C-X16 concept in every way we’d hoped it would be—and then some. Like its convertible alternative, the F-Type Coupe gets its power from a pair of supercharged V-6 engines and a supercharged V-8, but it gets a little extra spring in its step with the V-8. DON'T MISS: 2015 Acura NSX To Feature Longitudinal, Twin-Turbo V-6 Rated at 550 horsepower (55 horsepower more than the F-Type V8 S convertible), the top coupe is called, appropriately, the F-Type R. Thanks to the extra horsepower...

    2015 Lexus RC: 2013 Tokyo Motor Show Live Photos And Video

    Lexus’ new RC luxury coupe has been one of the industry’s worst kept secrets, with patent filings of the car’s name discovered more than a year ago, and prototypes spotted in the wild for almost as long. Now, finally, the Lexus RC has made its debut at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show...

  • 2015 Nissan GT-R NISMO
    2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo revealed, sets 7:08.679 'Ring time

    Appearances have never been completely in line with the GT-R’s unique combination of brute force and surprising finesse and capability. And for 2015, that dichotomy becomes more pronounced, with a stronger look, 600 horsepower on tap, and some suspension work that should simultaneously make...

    Honda Civic Type R 2.0-Liter VTEC Turbo Prototype: Driven

    We only had two laps on the high-speed oval at Honda's main R&D center in Japan. We didn't get performance figures for the prototype Honda Civic Type R fitted with the company's new 2.0-liter direct-injected and turbocharged four-cylinder engine. But they were two very memorable laps. DON'T...

  • Nissan BladeGlider Electric Sports Car Concept  -  2013 Tokyo Motor Show live shots (preview event)

    The all-electric Nissan BladeGlider sports car, which gets its official introduction later this week at the Tokyo Motor Show, is more than just a far-out concept. Nissan plans to build it. It’s not just the BladeGlider’s electric powertrain that makes it radically different than other roadsters and superlight sports cars; the deltoid shape of the car—modeled after the swept wings of a glider—as well as the unique ‘1+3’ seating layout and dramatically different front and rear track should make it a standout. And in person it does indeed look like no other...

  • Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2014 award

    Fast, stylish, compact, reasonably priced, and incredibly fun, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is Motor Authority's Best Performance/Luxury Car To Buy 2014. But it was an exceptionally close race. So close, in fact, that the CLA45 AMG didn't score an outright win. The 2014 Porsche Cayman is also our Best Car To Buy 2014. But only one car can truly be "best," right? Not exactly. This isn't Highlander. In fact, if they weren't all head-to-head, each of the eight nominees could have taken the Best Car To Buy title--2014 has given us an embarrassment of riches. But two cars stood out so strongly...

    If Monte Carlo had a sister city, would it be Sin City? Glitzy condo canyons, matte-red Italias parked in no-parking zones, lots of places named "Palace," and an ample supply of two-name celebrities like Roger Moore, Gina Lollobrigida, and Ringo Starr--yup, it all kind of hangs together there...

  • Nissan BladeGlider Electric Sports Car Concept  -  2013 Tokyo Motor Show

    Nissan has given an early overview of its exhibits at the Tokyo Motor Show, to be held later this month, and aside from a new GT-R NISMO performance flagship, the standout from the start appears to be the BladeGlider, a three-seat electric sports car that looks to gliders for inspiration.

The automaker is calling it a “prototype of an upcoming production vehicle that demonstrates the innovation and excitement of the Nissan brand and...

    2016 BMW X1 Spy Video

    The current BMW X1 only reached U.S. shores last year but overseas it’s been on sale since 2009. That means a successor is due in the next couple of years and today we have a spy video showing a prototype for just that car. The prototype appears to be much shorter than the current X1 and its...
