Sports Cars

The Morgan Motor Company is either the ultimate automotive anachronism or the most relevant car company around today, depending on your view. Like Maserati, Morgan is celebrating its hundredth anniversary in 2014. Unlike that fine Italian, Morgan still makes cars that, to all intents and purposes...

Mercedes-Benz is giving its flagship roadster a power boost for the 2015 model year. The SL63 AMG's twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 gets a hefty 48-horsepower increase, bringing total output to 585 horsepower--matching that of the upcoming 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG coupe, and making both cars the...

A report out of Russia claims that sports car firm Marussia, formed in 2007 by former racing driver Nikolay Fomenko, has been disbanded and staff reassigned to a government project. Fomenko had developed a pair of sports car prototypes under the Marussia brand, the B1 and B2, and in 2010 bought a...

Search any automotive-themed internet forum and at some point, somewhere, you'll find a post from someone urging Toyota to bring back the Supra. The rear-drive sports car was once a mainstay of Toyota's range but died off in the U.S. in the late 1990s. Since then, only the short-lived MR2 Spyder...

The all-new 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a blast to drive, so the upcoming AMG variant should be an absolute hoot. Prototypes for the car have been spotted wearing the least camouflage gear we’ve seen yet, which means an auto show debut can’t be far. The AMG variant of the latest...

Racing video games are getting more realistic all the time, but they'll never be a substitute for actually getting out there and getting on track yourself. In recent years, Nissan and Sony have blurred the lines between real racing and driving in the virtual world with the GT Academy...

Chevrolet has confirmed that its lightning-fast 8L90 eight-speed automatic introduced on the 2015 Corvette Z06 will also be available on the 2015 Corvette Stingray, when sales of the latter commence this fall (the supercharged Z06 isn’t due in showrooms until early next year). The only...

Nissan has had great success with its GT-R revival and will soon be launching a new version of its giant-killing sports car. The success has spurred Acura to launch a new generation of its NSX and Toyota to bring back the Supra, and soon we may be able to add Mitsubishi to that list. It’s...

The entry-level SL-Class in the U.S. is the V-8-powered SL550, but overseas Mercedes-Benz offers a six-cylinder model, the SL350, which is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 and even comes with eco-friendly Blue Efficiency trim in certain markets. The SL350 is now being replaced by a new SL400, and this...

Chevrolet has confirmed that a new variant of the seventh-generation Corvette will be revealed on April 15, the eve of the 2014 New York Auto Show. It won’t be the Z06 and C7.R that we first saw at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show back in January but a brand new variant. Possibilities include a...

Infiniti is finally serious about launching a proper performance product, and our first taste of what’s to come is the Q50 Eau Rouge concept. At the concept’s reveal at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January, Infiniti boss Johan de Nysschen said that any production version must have the...

Several years ago, Citroën revived its legendary DS nameplate for a handful of premium models to be sold alongside the French automaker’s regular lineup. More recently, however, Citroën has moved to establish the DS name as a standalone luxury brand exclusively targeting the Chinese...

While the 2015 BMW M3 sedan and M4 coupe are already familiar to enthusiasts around the world, the drop-top M4 Convertible has remained under wraps--mostly. At the 2014 New York Auto Show, it will make its world debut. Aside from its retractable hard top, the 2015 M4 Convertible differs very little...

If you've heard of the Daihatsu Copen, you've either got an impressively geeky level of car knowledge, or you're a regular on the PlayStation--where Daihatsu's kei-class sports car has been a regular in Gran Turismo games for years. Now there's a new one on the way, and the Japanese firm has...

Remember Aston Martin's online 'True Power' video series promoting the Rapide luxury sedan? The moment you cringed as one of the protagonists described himself, among other qualities, as a "keen harpist"? Unfortunately, so do we--but luckily, the brand's latest video, exploring the DB9, is much...

Racing drivers Scott McLaughlin and Robert Dahlgren recently headed to northern Sweden to spend some time in the new 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar. The duo race a unique version of the car in Australia’s V8 Supercars touring car series, and Dahlgren thought that it would be a great deal of fun to...

Jay Leno's Lotus Elan 26R is the ultimate version of what many consider the ultimate small sports car.

You'd be forgiven for thinking a car company called Detroit Electric would produce its cars in, or at least near, Motor City itself. After all, the car bearing the same name was produced there back in the early 1900s. But these days things aren't so simple. Modern day Detroit Electric will produce...

BMW’s new M4 has made its debut in coupe form, and soon it will spawn a convertible. Prototypes for the M4 Convertible have been spotted wearing the least camouflage gear we’ve seen yet, which means an auto show debut can’t be far. Like the M4 coupe (and the M3 sedan), the M4...

An automotive design and manufacturing firm based in Irvine, California that we’re sure few have heard of has come out with a new teaser for a sports car it claims to be working on. The company is Rezvani Automotive Designs, a company previously linked with the designs of pieces of vaporware...
