You needn't look little further than the humble Volkswagen Golf as to how far performance cars have come in recent years. Back in 1975, the most powerful Golf you could buy was the 108-horsepower GTI. By 1998, 33 years later, the Mk4 GTI had crept to just 150 horses. Fast forward another sixteen...

Talk of a hardcore Porsche Cayman built along the lines of the 911 GT3 dates back all the way to 2009, but since then the closest we’ve got to such a car being launched is 2012’s Cayman R and the more recent Cayman GTS. However, as nice as they are, neither is what you would imagine a...

German boutique sports car maker Wiesmann, creator of the odd but iconic MF4 and MF5, has finally gone out of business after a drawn out insolvency.

Rejoice or mourn, depending on your take: the mid-engine Honda S660 sports car will be built, according to a new report.
