  • 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS facelift spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    The track weapon that is the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is about to be sharpened just a little bit more. Our spy shots and video reveal a prototype for an updated GT3 RS that we’re expecting to be revealed next month at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. Official photos of the car have already leaked. It features the new front bumper of the recently udpated 911 GT3 as well as a new hood complete with NACA ducts. Since there's no engine under here, it's likely the ducts are part of a new aerodynamic feature or perhaps used to channel air to the brakes. The rear fascia also sports some...

  • 2019 BMW X4
    Bumper crop: 2019 BMW X4 luxury crossover revealed

    When the BMW X4 launched in 2014, the collective eye roll from enthusiasts was audible—including one from yours truly. Four years later and nearly 20,000 examples on the road (almost as many 6-Series were sold in the same time period) and we should eat our hats. I hear steak sauce helps wool...

  • 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    Refreshed and more powerful 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan coming to Geneva

    3D printing allows Porsche to create obscure parts for classic cars

    Three-dimensional printing is poised to revolutionize manufacturing and production processes. It's also excellent news for owners of vintage cars in need of pretty obscure parts. Porsche Classic announced on Monday that it now has the ability to 3D print parts that may no longer be available. Tests...

    Documentary details Dodge Viper ACR's record-setting Nürburgring run

    Last year, we waved goodbye to one of the most iconic American sports cars of all time, the Dodge Viper. In a fitting sendoff, 378 fans funded a trip to send the Viper, specifically a Viper GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR, to the Nürburgring for one last run. The effort made history when the...

  • 2018 BMW M2
    BMW M2 Competition name confirmed via leak

    It seems the more hardcore and powerful BMW M2 finally has a name. Thanks to a leak from BimmerPost published this past Sunday, we know the car will bear the M2 Competition name. The M2 Competition has been all but confirmed for about a year, but we've also referred to the car as the M2 CS...

  • 2018 Aston Martin Vantage GTE race car

    Aston Martin has a new Vantage on its hands, and that means the Aston Martin Racing motorsport department gets a new platform on which to build its challenger for the GTE Pro class of the World Endurance Championship. Aston Martin revealed the new Vantage GTE alongside its road car cousin late last year. Both are powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 but the race car benefits from numerous upgrades not only to the powertrain but to the chassis and aerodynamics as well. Just some of these upgrades include a 6-speed sequential, carbon fiber driveshaft, a multi-plate clutch, uprated...

  • Porsche Camp4 2018
    Learning the unnatural at Porsche's Camp4 winter driving school

    Pierre Des Marais’ voice cracked over the radio as he screamed, “Yo-el! Why do I hear throttle and see brake lights multiple times?” “Turn. Brake. Accelerate,” he said loudly into the radio. In most track situations you are told to brake hard, turn, then accelerate out...

  • 1969 Dodge Charger "Bullitt" replica
    1969 Dodge Charger owned by multiple celebrities is for sale

    It's rare that a celebrity-owned car comes up for auction, but this 1969 Dodge Charger replica has had multiple famous owners in its lifetime. The car is currently owned by Jamiroquai lead singer Jay Kay, an avid car collector and owner of a Kermit the Frog green Ferrari LaFerrari. Before him, the...

  • Teaser for Rolls-Royce Cullinan
    Rolls-Royce locks in Cullinan name for SUV

    What was originally just a code name is now the official label for Rolls-Royce's SUV. Rolls-Royce on Tuesday confirmed the Cullinan name for its first-ever SUV, though the British brand would prefer you think of the vehicle as a high-sided car rather than something a well-heeled soccer mom might...

  • 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 muscles in with 577 horsepower

    Mercedes-Benz on Tuesday took the covers off the AMG version of the redesigned 2019 G-Class. The G-Class is unique in the Mercedes lineup in that half of all models sold are from AMG, with the V-8-powered G63 being the most popular. Until recently, there was also a V-12-powered G65. For the new generation, AMG is starting off with the G63 which has been equipped with the tuner's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, the same engine fitted to the regular G-Class. Despite being down 1.5 liters in capacity compared to the engine in the outgoing G63, also a twin-turbo V-8, the smaller mill generates...

  • 2019 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class
    2019 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class made swankier with custom grille, 2-tone paint

    The revival of Maybach as a Mercedes-Benz sub-brand has been a runaway success. As an example, during the course of 2017 one out of every 10 S-Classes sold was a Maybach, with China, Russia and the United States gobbling up most of the cars. Mercedes, for the 2019 model year, is taking new steps to...

  • 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Dragon Challenge
    Watch the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport climb 999 steps to China's Heaven's Gate

    The Land Rover Range Rover Sport is a jack-of-all-trades and a master of many. It isn't quite as luxurious as the top-of-the-line Range Rover, but it's sportier. It sits lower than that vehicle, so it's not quite as capable off-road, but it can still handle itself well when the pavement ends. This...

  • 2018 Jeep Wrangler LS V-8 swap by Bruiser Conversions
    One company has already dropped an LS V-8 into a 2018 Jeep Wrangler

  • 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
    2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is a snow warrior, too

    It was a bright, sunny February afternoon in Chicago when I picked up the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Still, with temperatures in the 30s, the conditions weren't ideal for such a performance beast. No matter really. I wouldn't be taking this 707-horsepower SUV to a track anyway. I'd just be...

  • 2018 Bentley Bentayga

    Bentley has added its first new wood veneer in five years, and the company's "veneer hunters" had to travel to the United States of America to find it. It's called Liquid Amber and it comes from the American Red Gum tree in Mississippi. Liquid Amber is Bentley's seventh exclusive veneer, and it's named after the resin from the American Red Gum tree, which is also known as the American Sweet Gum. Bentley is only allowed to harvest the tree twice per year due to restricted access to the Mississippi wetlands in which the tree grows. Once the tree is cut, it undergoes a natural smoking process...

In the settlement, Uber agreed to pay Waymo $245 million. The trial...

  • Mercedes-AMG Project One concept, 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show
    AMG Project One's electric drive system to feature in more models

    AMG will build just 275 examples of its Project One hypercar, but instead of letting all of the car's high-tech wizardry go to waste after the final one is built, the company will import it into future models. That's the word of AMG boss Tobias Moers who in an interview with Autocar published...

    For years we've heard rumors of the mid-engine Corvette, and now, finally, we have proof that such a car exists thanks to spy shots of prototypes testing in the wild.

  • Duesenberg hot rod
    Rare Duesenberg hot rod visits Jay Leno's Garage

    Dave Blake is the owner of one very special car. It's a hot rod built in 1947 by brothers Hal and Bill Ulrich using a 1934 Ford Roadster chassis and a masterpiece of an engine lifted out of a Duesenberg. Despite being designed all the way back in 1928, the 7.0-liter inline-8 Duesenberg engine had...
