The new RF version of Mazda’s MX-5 Miata goes on sale in early 2017, priced from $32,390. That figure includes an $835 destination charge and is for the base model equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Opt for the available 6-speed automatic and you’ll need to front up an extra...

It's been rumored, suggested, hinted, even teased—now, the Mercedes-AMG GT roadster is reality. (Insert your own "topless" buff-book pun here.) The roadster arrived at this week's Paris auto show wearing two different outfits, as both the AMG GT and the GT C Roadster. And now we have photos...

Audi’s TT sports car, now in its third generation, remains as brilliant as ever, particularly in high-performance TT RS form. The car is light and agile and manages to belie its front-wheel-drive underpinnings in most situations. Audi is now offering a package for owners of the standard car...

Who can explain the heart of man? Specifically, who can explain the heart of a man that would, for some unfathomable reason, take a 1992 Toyota Supra and turn it into a replica of a Bentley Continental GT3-R? Our heads are spinning with questions. We weep for the poor Supra under that excessive...

Generating massive amounts of downforce without the added drag that most aerodynamic elements add to a car is the holy grail of designing fast track machines. One of the more out-there solutions is the addition of a fan that literally sucks air from below the car in order to create an area of low...

Confirming what we already knew, Mercedes-AMG just teased the new 2018 GT Roadster via Twitter and Facebook. The short video teaser shifts light around what it is clearly a topless AMG GT. This of course makes sense as we are just about two weeks away from the 2016 Paris auto show where the sports...

Mercedes-Benz’s SL-Class has just undergone its mid-cycle update but work on the redesigned, seventh-generation model is already at an advanced stage. Engineers are currently testing the car’s new platform in the makeshift body of an S-Class Coupe (shown below). Dubbed the MSA (Modular...

We’ve seen some interesting engine swaps lately, though the latest is perhaps the most ambitious. First discovered by Road & Track, it’s a Porsche Cayman that's had much of its internals removed so a Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] 5.0-liter V-8 could be squeezed in. As the photos show...

For some time now, Jason from Engineering Explained has been teaching us about all areas of our shared passion—and now we get to share in something a little more personal. His method of clearly explaining seemingly complex mechanical and technical parts of a car is both enjoyable and...

Mercedes-Benz is testing in the open a new modular platform for its next-generation SL and Mercedes-AMG GT sports cars. Engineers are using the modified body of a Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe to hide the platform whose official title is Modular Sports car Architecture (MSA). Comparing the tester with a...

Numerous prototypes for the Mercedes-AMG GT R were flung around the Nürburgring as part of the car’s development program, though these were all heavily camouflaged. Fortunately, AMG is still fine tuning the GT R at the ‘Ring ahead of the start of production, but since the car has...

The Toyota 86 (formerly Scion FR-S) is a wonderful little machine. It's a rear-wheel-drive sports car that's affordable, approachable, and a ton of fun. Still, it could use a bit more power. When I say a bit, I mean another 50 horsepower and it would be perfect. When Street FX Motorsports of...

Aston Martin is eager to celebrate the arrival of its latest DB beauty, the DB11. That car comes packing serious heat in the form of an all-new 5.2-liter V-12 breathing through a pair of turbochargers to crank out 600 horsepower. Still, some prefer the glorious wail of eight cylinders at full...

It's no secret that current generation of the Chevrolet Corvette (C7) is going to exit with a bang thanks to the resurrection of the ZR1 nameplate. The question now is: How much power will the new 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 have? We've spied a prototype of the new 2018 Corvette ZR1 entering GM's...

Not long ago, the backers of Caterham planned to turn the niche British sports car brand into a full-line automaker selling sedans and SUVs as well as sports cars. The first of Caterham’s more mainstream models was to be a small sports car based on a new platform developed with Renault...

Carroll Shelby's first-ever Cobra, CSX 2000, set a new record high for an American car when it sold at the RM Sotheby's auction during Monterey Car Week for $13.75 million. The previous record was $11 million for the 1968 Ford GT40 Gulf/Mirage race car that sold in 2012. Shelby created what would...

Since its earliest days, Lotus’ ethos has been “performance through lightweight,” the phrase coined by its founder Colin Chapman. Today that tradition lives on with a range of lightweight options designed for the new Evora 400 sports car. The options include a lithium-ion battery...

BMW trotted out a surprise concept car at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este back in May. It was called the 2002 Homage, and it started out life as a standard M2 before being completely transformed. So detailed were the changes that only the wide stance and roof gave away the donor car’s...

As you might guess, Jeremy Clarkson drives a ton of different vehicles. We imagine he's swapping keys so often it's hard to keep track of what's in and out of his driveway. That doesn't mean that certain cars don't stand out. Quite the opposite really. When you drive so many different machines, the...

McLaren promised to bring a new concept developed by its MSO personalization department to Monterey Car Week currently on in Monterey, California. While we had hoped the new concept would be the recently revealed 688 HS or even the rumored 3-seater, it turns out the car is simply a bespoke version...
