Luxury Cars

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...

Hyundai’s second-generation Genesis sedan is almost ready for its auto show debut but new spy shots already reveal the completed car. The new Genesis will be revealed in full later this year in Korea and will make its first appearance on the world stage at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in...

Many automakers have abandoned straight-six engines in favor of more compact V-6 designs in order to improve packaging and pedestrian safety, but a few automakers are fighting the trend. The key reason is the development of modular engines, where, for example, three-, four- and six-cylinder engines...

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is up for Motor Authority's Best Car To Buy 2014 award.

While some are wondering what, exactly, the Cadillac ELR's competitive set might be, others are just wondering what colors they can get. For those wishing there were a "white diamond" ELR, you're in luck: Cadillac and Saks Fifth Avenue have teamed to offer a special-edition model in exactly that...

Mid-engined perfection with Porsche power and tuning--the 2014 Cayman is the consummate sports car. Even the vaunted 911, as good as it has been and become, leaves something on the table when it comes to the sheer driving pleasure of the Cayman. That is, perhaps, surprising to some. The 911, after...

Brits always make the best bad guys in movies, and Jaguar will play heavily on that fact with a new F-Type Coupe advert at next year's Super Bowl. As part of an advertising campaign called "British Villains", Jaguar says it has drafted in a host of renowned British actors to show off the new F-Type...

Aston Martin’s current Vantage sports car has been on the market since 2005 and will soon be in need of a successor. The British automaker has just launched its most potent version yet, the V12 Vantage S, which takes the car into the 2015 model year. But could an even more potent version be...

When it comes to beautiful cars, Jaguar deserves credit for creating some of the best--though it has had its doldrums. Lately, however, the brand has been back on its game, from the XF to the XJ, and, now, the F-Type. The 2014 Jaguar F-Type is easily the most stunning roadster to hit the market...

SEMA isn’t an event you’d normally associate with a rather tame luxury brand like Acura but the automaker did have a handful of concepts on show this week at the event. They were aimed at demonstrating the tuning potential of the cars they were based on, with two of the concepts based...

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the spiritual successor to the 300SL gullwing of the 1950s, will bow out of the market next year, with development of a new AMG sports car already well underway. However, Mercedes-Benz was never going to let such a historically significant model drive off into the sunset...

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...

The city manager of tony Atherton, California, thinks he'd like some new police cruisers. In fact, George Rodericks suggested to the San Jose Mercury News, "I'd love to see the [Tesla] Model S be used for Atherton's police cars." There are hundreds, if not thousands, of millionaires living in the...

There are many luxurious sedans on the roads these days. There are even many very fast ones. There are a few that do both luxury and the performance exceedingly well. But none of them look as primally dashing, as sensually satisfying as the 2014 Audi RS 7. Of course, the RS 7 started with the...

Volvo has started production of a new long-wheelbase S60, aptly named the S60L, but unfortunately the car will be limited to the Chinese market, as is the case for many of the smaller long-wheelbase sedans. Production is taking place at Volvo’s new plant in Chengdu, China. The S60L...

Rolls-Royce Bespoke will unveil a special Phantom encrusted with 446 diamonds.

Taking place in the Middle East this week is the 2013 Dubai Motor Show, and one of the highlights of the event is a new Bugatti special edition, the Bugatti Legend ‘Meo Costantini’ Grand Sport Vitesse. The car is the third of six planned special edition Veyrons celebrating the men that...

Rolls-Royce is preparing a minor facelift for its Ghost sedan and we now have some new spy shots of a prototype for the updated car. It is expected to go on sale in the middle of next year, as a 2015 model. Given the lengthy lifespan of your typical Rolls-Royce, it’s not unusual to see...

In late 2011, BMW and Toyota signed a memorandum of understanding for collaboration on a number of projects ranging from the development of a new sports car platform to research into next-generation battery technology and even hydrogen fuel cell powertrains. Of most interest to performance fans is...

It’s cliche to call the Panamera a four-door 911, but in truth, that’s the most accurate one-liner to peg the car’s nature. Pushed hard, very few other sport sedans really keep up—or prove so willing to run hard. Left to the casual cruising even a 911 is more likely to do...
