Alfa Romeo is following up the oh-so-sexy 8C with a smaller version that it's calling the 4C. You already know this though, because we've all been staring at the car for what seems like ages now. Style fans have had plenty to drool over with regards to all of the various curves, lines, and visual...

Late last week, news broke that the assets of niche sports car manufacturer TVR, which hasn’t built a car since 2006, had just been sold. At the time, it wasn’t clear who the new owner was or what he or she planned to do with the assets, but we can now confirm that TVR will remain a...

It was only yesterday we reported that the official website of former British sports car manufacturer TVR had been updated with a holding screen emblazoned with the message “Never Say Never.” Since then, the site has been updated again, this time with the message “Roaring...

The Nissan GT-R is a tool crafted by both wizards and engineers. Perhaps we should call them wingeneers? (Yes, I made that up on the spot--trademark pending) The car is capable of defying physics on a race track or winding road, and then can be driven comfortably on a road trip that stretches for...

Ford’s formula race car powered by its award-winning 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine may seem tame considering it’s only producing around 177 horsepower in street-legal trim, but as Chris Harris found out there’s certainly nothing tame about a turbocharged and direct-injected 1.0-liter...

TVR was one of the more refreshing, yet slightly-mad, sports car manufacturers in the world. Its cars were uniquely styled and offered amazing performance for the price. But some shied away from the cars, mostly due to the cottage-industry build quality and out-of-place ergonomics. Many many were...

It was at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany that Porsche first rolled out its 901 prototype, a sports car designed by the grandson of Porsche’s founder as a replacement for the automaker’s 356 model. The car would eventually be renamed the 911 and go on to spawn seven separate...

The world has already laid eyes on the sultry shape that is the Alfa Romeo 4C. Now, however, Alfa is taking it out to play and the car is ready to make its "dynamic debut". The stage for the affair is a good one too, as the 4C will make the run up the hill to the Goodwood House. We're talking about...

PGO Automobiles, a niche sports car manufacturer based in France, has previewed its latest updates for its Cévennes speedster with a new concept car. The concept was first shown at last month’s 2013 Shanghai Auto Show but PGO has only now released official photos and details. The...

Early on in the development of Jaguar's return to the true sports car market, we knew it was on to something. Then the C-X16 Concept showed us the rest of the way, and the production car's adherence to that form is nearly flawless. So good it racked up more than 2,000 orders before even going on...

The growing number of supercars and other exotics being bought by Dubai Police shows no sign of slowing. The latest patrol cars spotted on the beat in the Gulf city are a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Ford Mustang, the latter tuned by Roush. Both cars come with a V-8 engine and rear-wheel drive, though...

Teasers are usually a thing we tolerate more than we enjoy--they do give us hints of what's to come, but they also ruin the surprise. In this case, however, we've been intrigued by the possibility and, now, enticed by the reality: the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. Speed A new AM28 6.0-liter V-12...
