  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL Class live photos

    The thing you have to remember, above all, is that the Mercedes-Benz SL isn't a sportscar. It may be a sporty car--even the "S-Class of sporty cars," as one of its creators calls it, but the SL's always been sort of the ultimate German counterpart to the Thunderbird. In the highest, best sense possible, of course. That's an impression only reinforced recently when I left the Geneva Motor Show for Spain, where Mercedes assembled a fleet of SLs for test drives--half of them new, the other half culled from a collection of classics, representing every generation of SL since the days of the...

    2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Preview: 2012 New York Auto Show

    Very few cars are a better fit for the phrase ‘an iron fist in a velvet glove’ than the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, which roars back onto the market later this year after a brief and somewhat disquieting hiatus. Yes, Mercedes' big hitter will arrive in showrooms this November after a world...

    2013 Ford Mustang: First Drive

    The region around Portland, Oregon, offers some truly great backroads for driving enthusiasts; and while they might be perfect for testing out sports cars in the summer and fall months (the dry season), always-gray mid-March perhaps wasn’t the most appropriate place to preview the 2013 Ford...

  • 2011 Pagani Huayra

    After first making its world debut exactly one year ago at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the first examples of Pagani’s latest supercar, the Huayra, are about to delivered to customers around the world. In the U.S. customers will have to wait a little while longer as Pagani tackles local regulatory certification, although the company is confident that the first Huayras will arrive stateside in 2013. To get us all excited about its impending arrival, Pagani has released this short documentary outlining the Huayra’s development and build process. As Pagani explains it, art and...

    2013 Bentley Continental GT V8: First Drive

    Whenever I land in a strange place for one of these first drives of a new car, the first task at hand is to keep moving. Get off the plane, off the shuttle, and get out of the hotel room before jet lag lures me for "a short nap" and proceeds to take the rest of the day--the rest of the...

    As the maker of the first racing hybrid that would do serious business on the track--courtesy of an F1-style kinetic energy recovery system--Porsche is no stranger to the idea of high-performance hybrids.

  • 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R live photos

    Bugatti’s Veyron Super Sport may be the current land speed record holder for a production car, but it may not hold that title for long as there are at least two other supercars just around the corner that just may have what it takes to dethrone the Bugatti. One is the Jason Castriota designed Tuatara from America’s own SSC, and the other is the Koenigsegg Agera R, which has just been updated and is now even faster than before. Making its world debut this week at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the 2013 Agera R has an official power rating of no less than 1,160 horsepower when running...

    2012 Fiat 500 Abarth first drive

    Las Vegas, if you haven't been lately, kind of sucks. Everything is twice as expensive as it should be, good blackjack tables are nearly extinct (even at $100 a hand), and traffic is bad enough to make trekking on foot seem like a good idea even in the summer desert heat. But fortunately, I wasn't...
