Jaguar’s F-Type is already available in a number of variants but the expansion of the sports car range is far from complete. The strategy mimics that used by Porsche for its 911, which caters to a wide variety of buyers, and it’s one Mercedes-AMG plans to implement for its new GT sports...

There’s nothing visually spectacular about this drag strip video featuring the 2015 BMW M3. There is no giant wreck, the engine doesn’t blow up and burst into flames—the pre-launch burnout isn’t even very impressive. But the speed and ET, on the other hand…very...

Even though there have been rumblings that a high-performance RS version of Audi’s entry-level A1 could be coming, the boss of the automaker’s quattro performance division has ruled out the possibility. Speaking with Top Gear, Audi quattro boss Stephan Reil said it’s hard to build...

The BMW M2 has been rumored for as long as the 2-Series itself has been known about, but it looks like it may soon transition from the land of supposition and rumor to reality. According to a new report from Auto Express, the BMW M2 is likely to arrive at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. However...

Lotus has come up with a new way to raise some much needed cash: offering customers an opportunity to visit the factory and even get some track time on the company’s official test track located onsite. The offer is part of a new program called Handmade in Hethel (Hethel being the town where...

This video of a Corvette’s Performance Data Recorder system capturing the moment a big rig’s trailer tire blows may be a taste of the future. A future in which the many happenings on America’s streets and highways are fortuitously captured by people recording for other reasons. On...

We’ve been hearing a lot about Nissan’s next-generation GT-R, the R36, in recent months but the car’s arrival is still likely years away as we’re yet to see any prototypes. And considering Nissan has been implementing yearly updates for the R35 ever since the model's 2009...

Just over a year ago, Toyota revealed a TRD-enhanced GT 86 (a Scion FR-S for our U.S. readers) concept called the Griffon, which thanks to numerous undisclosed modifications weighed just 2,300 pounds and was capable of lapping a race track faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia. Now the awesome concept...

Mercedes-Benz has taken its AMG portfolio to a new level. No, we're not talking about the upper echelon, ultra-insane Black Series vehicles. Instead, we're looking at the other end of the spectrum, which is where the CLA45 AMG slots into place. It slots rather neatly, of course, if you ask our own...

BMW will open a performance driving school at the Thermal Club near La Quinta, California.

The Mercedes-AMG GT has just burst onto the scene but already senior management in AMG’s headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany are talking about it being a multi-generational car and not a limited-production model like its gull-winged predecessor. Yes, while the SLS AMG was with us for just...

New Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales has just made the painful decision of eliminating a quarter of the automaker’s global workforce, but he has further tough calls to make including the possibility of parts sharing with parent company Proton. In the near term Lotus will upgrade its existing trio of...

Could a completely new production model based on the well-received IDx Freeflow and IDx NISMO concepts be the same model that's also a fully reengineered next-generation Nissan Z and successor to the current 370Z? They very well could be merged into one, conceded design chief and senior vice...

Mercedes-Benz’s latest C63 AMG is finally here, and we have all the juicy details including news the car will come in two flavors for the first time: a standard model and a more potent S-badged version. We’ve also learned that the car’s official title has been changed to...

Having just spent some time with the 2016 Audi TT in coupe form, we can confirm the car drives as good as it looks. And now Audi has revealed the convertible version of the car, appeasing sun-loving Audiphiles the world over. Both the standard TT Roadster and slightly sportier TTS Roadster have...

Sleek, stylish, and chock full of heritage, the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT has arrived. It’s the brand’s second bespoke car, and while it shares some of its DNA with the SLS that preceded it, as well as inspiration from Mercedes’ racing past, the GT is a car of its own. That's good...

We miss few recently defunct cars like we miss the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Born of rally and bred for the street, the car evolved to become a high-tech, if somewhat heavy, piece of asphalt artillery. Now it’s dead. But it might come back, in tortured and demented form, as a hybrid SUV...

Earlier this week we were treated to the sight of the all-new, 650-hp 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 as it ran the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Then we got the performance stats to confirm a portion of its ability. Now we have this image of the Z06 crashed at Hatzenbach. It can’t all be good news...
