  • 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT, 2013 New York Auto Show

    One of the meanest looking cars on show at the 2013 New York Auto Show this week is Jaguar’s 2014 XKR-S GT. Built by Jaguar’s special projects division, ETO, the XKR-S GT is essentially a race car that has been made street legal. Starting with an XKR-S, which is already no softy, the engineers at ETO widened the track, added more negative camber, increased the speed of the steering and toughened up the suspension. They also added a host of aero aids aimed at improving downforce, to the tune of an additional 320 pounds, while also uprating the brakes. Six-piston front calipers and...

    Next-Gen Subaru WRX Previewed By New Concept

    Subaru has gone to some length to separate the WRX from its former pedestrian platform-mate, the Subaru Impreza. In 2012, Subaru dropped the Impreza name from the WRX and introduced an all-new Impreza; since then, only spy photos have hinted at what the next WRX would look like. Thanks to...

  • 2015 Volkswagen Golf models - image: Volkswagen of America

    American consumers will need to wait until next year to buy a 2015 Golf or GTI at their Volkswagen dealer, but New York Auto Show attendees can see the Mark VII models in the flesh (or in the sheet metal, actually). Volkswagen’s latest Golf models will use the modular MQB platform, and North American inventory will be assembled at the brand’s newest factory, in Silao, Mexico. Though the Mk VII Golfs have already debuted in Europe (excluding the GTI, which will drop in May), the delay in North America is due to the ramp-up time needed to get the Mexican plant functional. The 2015...

    Now that the new Cadillac ATS sports sedan is on the market--and one of the best-driving sport sedans, we might add--the Cadillac CTS has room to grow.

  • BMW 1-Series (European model) fitted with prototype 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engine

    It's inevitable: With increasing pressure from fuel-efficiency and emission regulations globally, engines are going to get smaller. But BMW has simply taken its time-tested design principles and applied them to a new type of engine: its first-ever three-cylinder, which you can think of as half of its traditional inline six. As Dr. Heidelinde Holzer explained it during a media briefing at BMW's U.S. headquarters in New Jersey on Monday, the company's engine designers have long viewed 0.5 liters as the right displacement for each cylinder. That leads naturally to a displacement of 2.0 liters...

  • Mopar Ram Runner

    There’s no doubt that the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has been an out-of-the-park home run for Ford’s performance brand, racking up more sales than any other model in SVT’s history. Blame it on America’s love for pickup trucks, or blame it on our fear of societal collapse, but the Raptor continues to sell in impressive quantities. In 2011, Mopar threw the Raptor a counter-punch with the launch of its “Ram Runner Kit” for Ram 1500 pickups. Though not a turnkey production model, the Ram Runner Kit was capable of turning any 2009 or later Ram 1500 into a formidable...

    Jaguar's ETO division, a little-known but intense group of specialty vehicle creators launched last year, has one-upped the XKR-S with this, the XKR-S GT. Track-tuned, but built for the street, this is likely the hottest version of the XK Coupe we'll see--at least in this generation. The ETO, or...

    2014 Jaguar XJR: Full Details On The Executive Super-Sedan

    It's a seemingly contradictory set of goals: executive luxury sedan comfort and style, with track-capable handling and supercar levels of power. But for some reason, it just works. Case in point: initial impressions of the Nürburgring-tuned 2014 Jaguar XJR. We're not going to get...
