Keep this video on repeat as those growls you hear are the sweet sounds of the new straight-six engine developed for the latest generation of the BMW M3 and the all-new M4 (basically a new M3 Coupe). Also shown in the video is a small sliver of the new M3’s power dome hood, whose yellow hue...

The design of the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is close to being an undisputed knockout, which is very impressive considering the car’s developers started with a blank sheet of paper, both for the car’s exterior as well as the platform underpinning it all. From its distinct...

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is one of the most anticipated cars of the year and pent-up demand, both from hardcore fans and first-time ‘Vette buyers, is sure to cause a stampede at showrooms when the car officially arrives in early October. Not surprisingly, dealers have already been...

Prior to the last decade, Toyota sold a trio of sports cars that catered to a relatively wide spectrum of the new car market. Even now the names of those sports cars, Supra, MR2 and Celica, hold a certain cachet with performance buyers, despite Toyota losing its way and dropping all three model...

Lexus will soon launch a new coupe to challenge the Audi A5, BMW 4-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and just as those rivals all have high-performance variants so too will the Lexus. The new Lexus coupe will essentially be a two-door IS but a unique name, in this case RC, and differentiated...

The recent $448 million Powerball jackpot was won by a lucky few. One of those few was Minnesota resident Paul White, who took home a share of the prize worth $58 million after taxes. Not a bad pay day, and an amount we'd most certainly use to acquire a few choice automobiles. White thinks the same...

In the same week Subaru showed a new STI-tuned BRZ concept, Toyota rolled out a version of its GT 86 sports car, a Scion FR-S to U.S. readers, fitted with some of its own performance upgrades. The vehicle, described as a prototype, was presented to Australian media at an event organized by Toyota...

Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker recently confirmed plans to unveil a convertible version of its B6 Venator concept this year, and hinted that both show cars were destined to spawn production versions. The last we heard, Spyker planned to start production of its B6 Venator sometime in 2014...

Spend around a hundred grand on a performance sedan, and it had better put a smile on your face, right? After driving the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S up on Pacific Northwest mountain roads, as well as on the track, we can say that this very focused model—the fastest, most powerful Jaguar sedan...

The new Acura NSX should prove to be quite an entertaining machine. It will be interesting to see how it holds up to the original NSX from a pure driving experience standpoint. Of course, you can still buy the old NSX if you hunt them down on Craigslist and eBay Motors. If you have the means to...

Subaru gave us a preview of its next-generation WRX at the 2013 New York Auto Show, where it unveiled the striking WRX concept and enticed us with tales that the final car would no longer resemble the humble Impreza with which it will continue to share a platform. We’ve since spied the...

The new i3 electric hatch isn’t the only i-badged BMW we’ll be seeing this year; another is a new i8 plug-in hybrid sports car that will not only top the i range of cars but also serve as BMW’s flagship. We were given our first taste of the i8 four years ago, when BMW rolled out...

It looks like we’ll have to wait at least one more year for a new generation of the WRX as Subaru has confirmed that the current model will continue into the 2014 model year. The good news is that the car, plus its high-performance STI variant, still offer great value and plenty of bang for...

It may be wearing STI badges, but the car featured here isn’t the fabled BRZ STI we were all hoping for when teaser images of an STI-badged BRZ appeared on Subaru’s website over the weekend. This car is actually a concept that previews some mild performance upgrades developed by STI for...

British sports car manufacturer Morgan has issued a recall on certain versions of its iconic 3 Wheeler because of missing warning labels on the vehicles’ brake fluid reservoirs. The recall affects both 2012 and 2013 model year 3 Wheelers, but only those examples built between October 2012 and...

Crash tests are one thing, but actual real world crash data is quite different. That's why General Motors engineers are taking a close look at a recent accident involving a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The C7 'Vette was being driven by a GM employee when it was t-boned by a Lincoln Town Car...

True fans of drifting know that the original slideways hero was a young man by the name of Takumi Fujiwara. His drift machine of choice was his father's modified Toyota Sprinter AE86 Trueno (basically, a rear-wheel-drive Corolla built between 1983 and 1987). Fujiwara honed his skills while making...

Lexus’ sharp new 2014 IS sedan has just gone on sale and we so far have been quite impressed with its ride and handling. Unfortunately, a high-performance IS F version of the redesigned sedan is yet to be revealed so Lexus will continue selling its previous bodystyle IS F into the new model...

There are only so many different types of vehicles you can make that wear the MINI badge on the back. Or so it would seem. The automaker has been able to churn out a handful of models over the years, and it looks primed to add even more iterations to its family of automobiles. According to Car...

Caterham recently took the wraps off its most powerful road car to date, the 311-horsepower 620R. However, the British track car specialist is also working on a new entry-level model that it's been revealed today will come powered by a three-cylinder engine supplied by Suzuki. The three-cylinder...
