  • The McLaren P1's interior - image: McLaren

    With just three weeks remaining until the P1 supercar has its official debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, McLaren is teasing bits and pieces of its construction to keep the car in the public eye. Last week we saw its F1-inspired instrumentation, and this week we’re getting a glimpse of the P1’s interior. McLaren calls the cabin “minimalist” in its design, and the carbon fiber used throughout the interior is there for function, not just form. Like the cockpit of a fighter jet, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything that isn’t necessary for...

    2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo preview

    BMW's Gran Turismo take on a roomier, more useful vehicle somewhere between a sedan and a wagon wasn't all that well received, at least aesthetically, when it first showed up as a conceptual variant of the 5-Series in 2009. Now, the 3-Series has its own Gran Turismo. Does it work any better in this...

  • Leaked images of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo

    Last December we brought you undisguised images of the new BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo in testing, in both base and M Sport trim. At the time we weren’t entirely sure if BMW would use the 3-Series Gran Turismo name, even though the car was spotted wearing a “GT” badge. We predicted that BMW would introduce the new model at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and now leaked photos confirm our hunch of the car’s March reveal. Expect to see the same engines used in other 3-Series models beneath the hood of the 3-Series Gran Turismo, including a 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbo...

  • MINI Clubman Bond Street special edition

    If you're a jet-setting retail therapist--amateur or professional--you'll appreciate the latest special-edition MINI Clubman: the Bond Street. Due for its public unveiling at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Bond Street edition promises an extra dash of style on top of the usual quirky MINI sensibility. Giving London's premier shopping street's name to the Clubman tips the special-edition's hand, as it's a classy, refined, dapper appearance package. Of course, like any MINI, it ends up looking a bit busy, just because there are so many details on such a compact canvas. Nevertheless, the new...
