Photos Of The Week

Subaru 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. It's not the turbocharged full-on BRZ STI that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, but the car should perform better than stock thanks to suspension and aero upgrades. Audi’s A4 and A5 are fine cars, but you can get the same package in a sportier, more stylish form factor with the Sportback...

BMW 8-Series, Ford Focus RS Limited Edition, Rolls-Royce Sweptail: This Week’s Top Photos
BMW 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 Photos
One 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 new Corvette ZR1 is just around the corner, and Chevrolet in recent days has been testing prototypes for the car on the Nürburgring. The prototypes were so loud that Chevy was forced to modify the exhaust system just to run. The car is shaping up to be a real beast. Kahn Design’s SUV arm, Chelsea Truck Company, is now modifying the Mercedes-Benz G-Class alongside the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler. Its first attempt is the mean-looking Hammer Edition G-Class. Notice the flared fenders? The Ford F-150 Raptor is one of the most badass vehicles on sale. But how does it fare...

2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C, 2018 Audi S5, Trump's 'Beast' limo: This Week’s Top Photos
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...

Nissan GT-R Track, Kia Stinger, next-gen Porsche 911: This Week’s Top Photos
This Nissan GT-R is getting long in the tooth, but it’s still one of the fastest sports cars money can buy, though these days you’ll need quite a bit of money to buy one as it’s not quite the performance bargain it used to be. In an attempt to keep it fresh, Nissan has updated the...

Ferrari 812 Superfast, McLaren F1 successor, TRD-enhanced Lexus LC: This Week’s Top Photos
This week we were given a taste of Ferrari’s 812 Superfast on the move. 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’ 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 present isn’t from BMW, but rather semi-official BMW tuner Alpina. The car is the new B5, and it generates 600 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8. Unfortunately, we’re unlikely to see it in the United States. Instead, we’ll have to wait for the new M5. There’s a...

This Week’s Top Photos: The 2017 Detroit auto show edition
