Photos Of The Week

We spotted the 2019 Audi e-tron quattro in prototype form testing on public roads. With a fast roofline, wide stance, and mid-size proportions, the e-tron quattro looks similar to the concept shown in Frankfurt. A Bugatti Chiron named "Panda" has been delivered to its owner in Saudi Arabia. The logic behind the car's name is pretty obvious to anyone that sees it. The iconic Ferrari F40 is back in the spotlight this week as two stunning examples head to the auction block in search of new homes. There's now a McLaren 570S just for kids, although it's down a bit on horsepower compared to the...

Audi Q8, Porsche Carrera 4 GTS, Acura RLX: This Week's Top PhotosWe spotted the 2020 Audi Q8 undergoing testing on the Nürburgring. Sized like the Audi Q7, the new Q8 has a fast roofline, a wide track, and flared fenders. Aggression apparently will be standard. Not that you would, but apparently you can take your McLaren 570 GT camping. Why? The better...

Aston Martin Vantage, Audi RS 7, F22-inspired Ford F-150 Raptor: This Week’s Top PhotosAston Martin this week gave us our first look at its redesigned Vantage, which is due out later this year. As expected, the car looks very much like the striking DB10 developed for the James Bond movie “Spectre.” One of the cars we drove this week was the Audi RS 3. It’s a compact...

This week we got our first look at an actual Fisker EMotion and not just some computer-generated renderings. The electric sport sedan is the first model from revived electric car brand Fisker and is due in 2019. Jaguar revealed its own sport sedan this week, a truly bonkers version of the XE. We’re talking 592 horsepower, a pumped-up body, and carbon and titanium replacement parts. BMW revealed a redesigned X3. The styling of the popular small luxury SUV hasn’t changed much but underneath is a new platform. Also new is the addition of a sporty X3 M40i. One of the vehicles we drove...

Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Honda Civic Type R, Ford Ranger Raptor: This Week’s Top PhotosThis week we drove the 2017 Honda Civic Type R, and we found it to be a very impressive machine. There’s 306 horsepower on offer from a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4, along with one of best-tuned chassis in the compact performance segment. But is this enough to outmatch some much more...

2018 Subaru WRX STI Type RA, 2018 Audi S5 Sportback, 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia: This Week’s Top PhotosSubaru is finally getting serious about its STI brand in the United States. The automaker just added two new models to its lineup enhanced by its in-house tuner. One is the 2018 Subuaru WRX STI Type RA which adds power, cuts weight, and gets a big rear wing. We will also get the 2018 Subaru BRZ tS...

BMW 8-Series, Ford Focus RS Limited Edition, Rolls-Royce Sweptail: This Week’s Top PhotosBMW impressed us with photos of its 8-Series concept, but the handsome coupe looks even better in the metal. It’s big and imposing but at the same time you get the feeling it’s also lithe and sporty. Here it is at its debut at the 2017 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in...

Porsche 911 GT2 Evo, Dodge Demon, BMW 8-Series concept: This Week’s Top PhotosOne of the rarest Porsche 911s in existence, the 1996 911 GT2 Evo homologation special, went under the hammer recently. Just 11 of the cars were built, so it’s no surprise that the final bid passed the million-dollar mark. American supercar collector Kris Singh has just added a Pagani Huayra...

A prototype for Lamborghini’s Urus was spotted this week, and here we see it next to a prototype for BMW's new M5. The Urus goes on sale in the third quarter of 2018, initially with a 650-horsepower V-8. A plug-in hybrid option joins the range about a year later. Rezvani’s sexy Beast Alpha can now be had for $95,000. That’s less than half what the car originally cost, and it’s certainly not a bad deal considering you’re getting a mid-engine, carbon fiber-bodied sports car with 400 horsepower on tap. BMW this week revealed some tech secrets concerning its...

2018 BMW 2-Series, 2017 Ford GT, 1 millionth Porsche 911: This Week’s Top PhotosBelieve it or not but BMW still builds a small, lightweight rear-wheel-drive coupe.

If you can look...

This week we drove the Mercedes-AMG GT C, in open-top Roadster form. While we’re yet to sample the ballistic GT R, we feel the GT C is probably the sweet spot in AMG’s GT sports car range. It’s a seriously impressive machine. Porsche should be worried. Another AMG in the headlines this week is the GLC63. There’s both the standard GLC63 and more dynamically styled GLC63 Coupe, and regardless of which you get there’s a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 under the hood. It’s a breath of fresh air in an age of engine downsizing and emissions regs. Audi’s...

In an attempt to keep it fresh, Nissan has updated the...

In a video released by the Italian firm, we see the V-12 grand tourer tearing up a stretch of winding road, and the sights and sounds are simply stunning. This car is very likely the first Ford Mustang coupe ever built...

Genesis G70, Nio Eve concept, Rimac Concept_One: This Week’s Top PhotosGenesis’ rival to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class was spotted in prototype form this week. So far the car appears to have a handsome, well-proportioned look that should lure buyers away from some of its more established rivals. The most potent model in the BMW 5-Series range at...
