With the right set of tires, nearly any vehicle is prepared for winter driving. A perfect example of this is the 700-horsepower Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

Toyota finally confirmed the comeback of the Supra at last week's 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, where the automaker also showed off a thinly veiled concept of the new sports car that would bear the iconic nameplate. The new Supra has been a long time coming—the last one bowed out of...

The 250 GTO is the Ferrari of Ferraris. A true homologation special, less than 40 were built during the early 1960s and today, if one were offered for sale, the price you can expect to pay reaches into the tens of millions of dollars. A 250 GTO received the highest bid ever for a car at auction in...

Nascent coachbuilder David Brown Automotive burst onto the scene in 2014 with the deliciously retro Speedback GT. The car featured a body inspired by the lines of the Aston Martin DB5 but rode on the much more modern bones of a Jaguar XK. The company went in a very different direction in 2017 when...

The 911 GT2 RS may be the top of the 911 pecking order but Porsche hasn't forgotten about the equally drool-worthy 911 GT3 RS. The German firm has developed a few tweaks for its naturally aspirated track star, and now the updated car has been revealed at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show...

Morgan used this week's 2018 Geneva International Motor Show to introduce the Plus 8 50th Anniversary Edition.

The next Toyota Supra will revive its signature inline-6 engine because the car’s fans demand it. Even so, it’ll have a lower center of gravity than the flat-4-powered Toyota 86, promised Tetsuya Tada, Toyota’s global chief engineer. Speaking with a translator, Tada said Tuesday...

The current Ford Focus RS is preparing to depart the production line on April 6, but Ford has plans for another RS-badged Focus, and it might even be a hybrid. That's the rumor from Dutch publication Auto International, which reported last week that the next-generation Focus RS will sport a 48-volt...

The Miata is a delightful machine that is the poster child of the slow-car-fast mindset. Every auto enthusiast loves it, but a fair contingent of the car's fans also agree that it wouldn't hurt to have a bit more horsepower. It appears that the Japanese automaker is listening because the 2019 MX-5...

Porsche affixes quite a few surnames to its sports cars, but it's easy to simply take them at face value. Every name has a story, and the simple "GTS" badge is no different. The sports car brand tackled where the "GTS" name comes from in a new video series answering common questions about Porsche...

As Mazda has its hard-top roof available for the MX-5 Miata, so too shall the car's Italian cousin. Meet the Fiat Abarth 124 GT, a carbon fiber-roofed Fiat 124 debuting next week at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. Fiat hasn't followed Mazda's route with a complex automated roof for its...

Alpine A110 production officially kicked off last December, but the sports car builder will bring two new versions to the 2018 Geneva motor show. Alpine announced the A110 Pure and A110 Légende on Tuesday and each brings something new to the revived, Renault-owned brand. The two variants...

If automotive personal ads were a thing, Aston Martin's might read something like this: single, sexy, multinational high-end sports car manufacturer seeks grounded, well-to-do partner to help in challenging times. What Aston Martin needs, says CEO Andy Palmer, is an automotive mate who can help...

Maybe the executives at Porsche need to schedule a meeting so they can all get their stories straight. Recently, we reported that the German automaker was moving up its timetable to axe the diesel engine from its lineup. Their original plan seemed to have the oil burner powerplants running through...
