A total of just 209 Ferrara LaFerrari Aperta supercars will be built. If you're not up on your exotic car lingo, the Aperta is the open-top version of the LaFerrari. So that means we're dealing with a hyper exotic Italian rocket that employs both gasoline and electricity to generate 950 horsepower...

Place your bets, ladies and gents. What will it be? The turbocharged, 4-cylinder, all-wheel-drive, Ford Focus RS pushing 350 horsepower, or the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 with 526 hp from a good ol' fashioned V-8? That is the question ahead of watching the video above. After viewing the results are...

Chevrolet is tempting potential C7 Corvette buyers with a pretty sweet deal during the month of May. Those in the market may be delighted to hear the bowtie brand is offering 10 percent off of the MSRP of all 2017 C7 Corvette models. That includes the king of the Corvettes, the Corvette Z06...

We spied the 2019 Porsche Macan; we pitted the Ford F-150 Raptor against the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat; and Workhorse unveiled the W-15 range-extended electric pickup truck. It's the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority. The Porsche Macan is fast approaching the midway point in its...

Not every custom build becomes an icon, but this 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Coupe transcended all and has become a superstar. It even has a name: "Scrape." And if you like what you see, RM Sotheby's will see the iconic Lincoln off at the Santa Monica auction June 24-25. Why is the Zephyr Scrape so iconic?...

Volvo's making a comeback and showing its true Swedish colors now that it's off Ford's leash, and the S90 is just one of the examples of its new-found glory. We spent a week with a 2017 S90 Inscription and learned what the Swedes consider luxury. Ferrari profits continue to skyrocket. The Italian...

The new Ford Raptor is a wicked machine right from the factory. It has switched to a smaller displacement twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, but it makes more power than the V-8 versions before and it seems to be an all-around better truck. For some, perhaps, it's a bit on the small side. That sounds...

Inch forward. The first staging light goes from inky blackness to a brilliant blot of bright yellow. It's telling you to keep moving forward just a little more.

TVR was once one of the largest specialized sports car manufacturers in the world. However, its fall from grace was anything but a smooth landing. Since the mid-2000s, TVR has been in near constant limbo. TVR's current owners aim to change that, however, and announced the first reborn TVR sports...

Remember how Porsche told us that it doesn't care about lap times? That's great, because cars are so much more than their posted numbers. There's the feel a car gives you and the thrill you get simply from driving a machine that wails, roars, or howls. An incredible thing happens to you when you...

BMW of Belgium has let the cat out of the bag. And by cat, we mean arguably one of BMW's best sport coupes in recent times. The Belgian company published images to its website and it shows the 2018 BMW M2 in all its glory, first reported by Bimmer Today. If it looks the same, that's because the...

This is essentially a brand-new 2013 BMW M3. It shows just 250 miles on its odometer and it's not registered. That's all well and good, but how the heck does someone think they're going to get 50 bucks shy of $300,000 for this car? It all comes down to rarity. This isn't a standard M3, it's the M3...
