TVR was once one of the largest specialized sports car manufacturers in the world. However, its fall from grace was anything but a smooth landing. Since the mid-2000s, TVR has been in near constant limbo. TVR's current owners aim to change that, however, and announced the first reborn TVR sports...

Remember how Porsche told us that it doesn't care about lap times? That's great, because cars are so much more than their posted numbers. There's the feel a car gives you and the thrill you get simply from driving a machine that wails, roars, or howls. An incredible thing happens to you when you...

This is essentially a brand-new 2013 BMW M3. It shows just 250 miles on its odometer and it's not registered. That's all well and good, but how the heck does someone think they're going to get 50 bucks shy of $300,000 for this car? It all comes down to rarity. This isn't a standard M3, it's the M3...

Call it "AMG light" if you like or "entry performance," but it's become somewhat a trend in the automotive industry, especially among the luxury brands.

Mercedes-Benz boss Dieter Zetsche revealed to media during last month’s 2017 Geneva auto show that the automaker would be pruning back the number of specialty cars it currently offers, namely coupe and convertibles. Zetsche said Mercedes would continue to offer multiple specialty cars but not...

It seems the big brute that is the 2018 C7 Corvette ZR1 is a tad too loud for the Nürburgring Nordschleife, judging by the interesting pipes attached to the center-exit exhaust. We may love the loud sounds, but noise restrictions at the Green Hell put a stop to it all quite quickly. This is...

Sport sedan buyers, rejoice. Subaru has officially announced pricing for the 2018 WRX and WRX STI and they don't deviate much from the 2017 model year. For those looking to step into rally car inspired performance, the 2018 Subaru WRX will start at $27,855, which includes destination. For under...

McLaren has confirmed it will drop the top on its 570S sometime in 2017, officially announcing the impending arrival of the 570S Spider.
