Mercedes-Benz is working on a mid-cycle update for its SL-Class, and that means all the separate variants including the high-performance Mercedes-AMG offerings are also due to be updated. Today we have the first spy shots of the updated Mercedes-AMG SL63. The updated SL arrives next year, as a 2017...

Despite dealing with a disastrous season after switching from Ferrari to McLaren in the Formula One World Championship, Fernando Alonso appears upbeat—at least on social media—as he can be seen posing next to the new Honda Civic Type R with a huge smile on his face in a recent photo...

The current Porsche 911, the Type 991, made its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show and hit the market shortly after as a 2012 model. This means we’re approaching the halfway point in the car’s life cycle, and right on cue prototypes for an updated version, the Type 991.2, have been...

Less than a week after it was previewed in concept form in Monterey, BMW’s upcoming M4 GTS has been spotted testing at the Nürburgring and on some of the German race track’s surrounding roads. The standard M4 only went on sale last year but this new, more hardcore version is coming...

It’s only a matter of time until Jaguar turns the wick up on the 550-horsepower supercharged V-8 fitted to its sublime F-Type R sports car, especially since the automaker already revealed a more powerful version of the engine in last year’s limited edition F-Type Project 7. And it...

Everybody knows BMW M and Mercedes-AMG, but if you asked the average punter to name the performance division of Audi you’re likely to receive a blank stare or possibly the incorrect answer “RS”. That’s because Audi’s performance cars, many of which wear an RS badge...

The cars that make up the series of Lotus Exige-based track cars are renowned for their combination of visceral performance, straightforward maintenance and reasonable pricing, and since they’re designed exclusively for the track it means Lotus is allowed to sell them in the United States...

McLaren’s new Sports Series range, which at present consists of only the 570S and 540C sports cars, is about to enter production but before that starts the pre-production versions are being put through the paces in some rather extreme conditions to iron out any bugs. It’s a process all...

They say styling is a subjective thing, but given the comments our original post on the reveal of BMW’s 3.0 CSL Hommage during May’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este generated, it’s safe to say that the automaker’s designers had got it wrong. But were we all just...

It was at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance that McLaren’s personalization department, McLaren Special Operations, had its coming out party. It was where we first saw the polarizing X-1, a custom-bodied supercar that was based on the bones of the 12C and showcased the extent of...

Honda has a hit on its hands with the mid-engine sports car known as the S660. The kei car went on sale in Japan back in April, and Honda has announced that the first year's entire run has been sold out. That is a production run of 8,600 cars and if you waited to place an order that means you've...

It's not very often that something as special as the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S comes rolling into my driveway, so I was excited to spend the last week piloting Mercedes' new Porsche 911 fighter. Prior to my test drive, I had only been behind the wheel for one glorious lap of the Road America road...

When it comes to sports cars, we bet the first name you think of is not Kia. It's probably not even the 10th, or the 50th. It's really not even on the list. But that may change in the not too distant future. Kia surprised many when it rolled out the striking GT4 Stinger concept at 2014’s...

Here's some exciting news: A turbocharged version of the latest MX-5 Miata is on the table.

Spyker was forced into bankruptcy late last year by a Dutch court after it was determined the struggling sports car brand wouldn’t be able to pay back all of its creditors. A bridging loan provided to the firm in January meant Spyker was able to exit bankruptcy, although it still needed to...

An early prototype hinting at a mid-engined Corvette is up for auction.

We’re sure many readers can relate to how the Porsche 918 Spyder driver in this video must have felt. You’re in a holiday spot with a shiny new car, in this case in St. Tropez with one of the most desirable cars on the planet, and you end up giving the loud pedal a little squeeze to let...

I may have written the First Drive review for Motor Authority, but I wasn’t the only member of the Internet Brands Automotive team at the 2016 Mazda MX-5 press drive in Westlake Village, California. We were lucky enough to have five journalists at the event, including one former first-gen...

What’s an automaker to do when it’s time to redesign a car that is universally loved? Simple, give its fans more of what they love. In the case of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, more equals less. Since it was introduced in 1989, the Miata has offered the fun, engaging driving experience that can...
