  • 2017 Audi R8

    “The R8 is born at Le Mans.” So said “Mr. Le Mans,” now-retired race driver and nine-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen in a promotional video that Audi showed at the press drive for the 2017 R8 supercar. Even though the video felt like a combination of a Folgers commercial and an online dating profile, Kristensen is right. Starting in 2000 Audi competed at and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the R8 Prototype racer, taking the checkered flag at that prestigious race five times in its first six tries. The R8 production car followed in 2008 as Audi’s...

    The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan will be officially unveiled next January at the Detroit Auto Show, but from the number of spy shots already published, it's pretty obvious that it'll have a strong family resemblance to the S-Class and C-Class before it. The company showed off its own camouflage-clad prototype at a Technology Day background briefing today in Sindelfingen, Germany. Spy shot photographers, we feel your pain.

    Infiniti QX60 Hybrid Gone From 2015 Lineup

    Sometimes a hybrid model just doesn't work out. Such is the case with the Infiniti QX60 Hybrid. Released for the 2014 model year, it was a one-hit wonder. Like its Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid sibling, which has also been dropped for the 2015 model year, the QX60 Hybrid traded a 260-horsepower...

  • 2016 Bentley Continental GT Speed

    Before the Internet became the refuge of the world's trolls, Norway was their spiritual home. We contend they're mythical creatures, but lots of Norwegians to this day believe trolls really exist. Spooky, Blair Witch-style trolls, if you take YouTube at face value. And why wouldn't you? Rich in natural resources, long on natural beauty, Norway is also very thinly populated and fairly walled off from its neighbors by steep mountains. There's plenty of heavily wooded terrain for trolls to set up light housekeeping, plenty of tasty dairy animals wandering the countryside, plenty of pine trees to...

  • Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept

    Here's some more news from the Goodwood Festival of Speed: Bentley will build the EXP10 Speed 6. The concept was revealed at this year's Geneva Motor Show, and given how production-ready it looked—not to mention the ecstatic reaction from crowds—it's hardly surprising to see the company looking to bring it to market. Bentley chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer has hinted we could see it in late 2018. Of course, the sexy sports car isn't the only project on Bentley's roadmap, as the storied English marque also hinted about plans to launch a new coupe-like SUV. The move would bring...
