Photos Of The Week

You may have missed it but BMW this week unveiled a new 1-Series sedan. Unfortunately the German automaker has no plans to sell the car outside of China, at least for the time being. If it ended up here it would have been a nice rival to the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA. Don’t...

Affordable performance is far from dead thanks to companies like Hyundai. This week the Korean automaker unveiled its new Elantra Sport, a compact sedan that pairs a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch unit. Tuning firms are going to have a field day...

Acura is the midst of developing an FIA GT3-spec version of its NSX supercar. This week we saw the beauty in bare carbon fiber. Sadly, by the time it’s ready to race all that bare carbon will be covered by sponsor logos. Acura is only willing to state that its NSX GT3 will compete in a North...

The 24 Hours of Lemons and race series like it just may be what saves motorsports. The competitors place fun above competition, and they get dirty building their own cars, the more creative the better. You never know what you might see at a Lemons race, and a wedding is certainly not out of the...

Yesterday saw the covers come off one of the most anticipated cars of the year: the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R. It’s the hardcore, track-focused version of AMG’s sexy sports car, and it comes with a supercar rivaling 577 horsepower on tap. We’ve even heard the car is faster around a...

Sports car startup Jannarelly this week unveiled its gorgeous Design-1 roadster. The best part is that Jannarelly, based in Dubai, is hoping to get the car into U.S. showrooms for just $55k. It sure would be a tasty track toy. This week we spent some time behind the wheel of the 2017 Porsche Macan...

The 2016 Busan Auto Show was on this week in Korea and one of the stars was this awesome RM16 N concept from Hyundai. It’s clearly based on the Veloster but one totally modified to fit a mid-mounted engine and a sleek new front end. Sadly, the RM16 N isn’t destined for production...

Last weekend was the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, and the event, held on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, saw the unveiling of a new BMW Hommage concept. The latest is based on the M2 and honors the 02 Series of coupes that went into production 50 years ago. Sadly, the Hommage...

It may be a 2010 model, but this Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] Mustang Shelby GT500 with just 21 miles on the clock is still a barn find in our book. It was bought and tucked away in a barn for the past several years but came up for sale recently after its original owner passed away. Swedish design...

Jaguar is out testing an updated version of its F-Type sports car and we spotted one of the prototypes running at the Nürburgring. Among the updates will be a tweaked front end, LED headlights, and possibly a turbocharged 4-cylinder as the new base option. Fancy the look of a classic Porsche...

This past week’s 2016 Beijing Auto Show turned out to be a treat for sports car fans. One of the stars was the new TT RS which is due in showrooms early next year. The car was shown in both coupe and convertible bodystyles and looks especially tasteful in this gray paint. As expected, there's...

One of the stars of this week was the 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus. We’ve now spent considerable time with the second-generation Audi supercar. For our latest drive we took to North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia and then ended the trip with some time spent at the Daytona International Speedway...

This week Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] opened up the order books for the new GT supercar. Anyone can apply though the applications will be vetted so that the car ends up in the hands of genuine fans only. The application form is pretty extensive and requires details such as VINs from previously...

This big, bad Aston Martin Vantage is a new variant thought to be called the GT8. It’s a track-focused version of the Aston Martin sports car derived from the Vantage GTE racer competing in the World Endurance Championship. It’s likely to be the last Vantage special before the...

Whether you like it or not, autonomous racing, where cars dart around tracks without a human onboard, will soon be a reality. A exhibition-style competition called Roborace has already been announced and within the year will hold its first race. The cars competing were previewed in concept form...

If you’ve been lusting for a supercar that you can happily drive every day, the 2017 Acura NSX is definitely worth a close look at. The sexy hybrid coupe is one of the most advanced cars on the planet and proves once again that Honda can build a proper Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] rival. It’s...

A new generation of Audi’s svelte A5 coupe is just around the corner and that means new versions of the A5 Cabriolet and A5 Sportback as well. This week we spotted a prototype for the latter. Audi is yet to confirm if we’ll see the car in the United States, but we feel it would make a...

This year’s Geneva Motor Show turned out to be one of the biggest on record, with the number of high-performance cars and luxury models hard to keep to track of at times. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the highlights, starting with Lamborghini’s Centenario. Destined to be built...
