  • 2015 Lexus RC F

    The Lexus RC F has just gone on sale, priced from $63,325, and while it may be a tad overweight the car is still impeccably fast and offers plenty of fun behind the wheel. But the days of only one dedicated F car in the Lexus lineup are over, as the Japanese automaker has more performance offerings in the pipeline. Next up will be the oft-rumored GS F, a prototype for which was last seen a year ago. The new GS F is now expected to be launched in time for the 2016 model year and bring to the table a more powerful version of the RC F’s 5.0-liter V-8. According to Autocar, the new GS F...

  • 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL400 (European spec)

    Hopping into a brand new Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is now much more affordable thanks to the introduction of a new V-6 model for the 2015 model year. The V-6 model is called the SL400 and it’s priced from just $84,925 including a $925 destination charge. This represents a significant saving on the $107,825 starting price of the next model up the rung and the previous point of entry, the V-8-powered SL550. And it’s not like the SL400 is a slouch. The car’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 is good for 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a seven-speed automatic...

  • 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC (GLK-Class) spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    Mercedes-Benz is set to launch a second-generation GLK-Class next year, and it may feature a high-performance AMG variant. The key is the AMG division’s new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8, the M178, which debuts later this year in the Mercedes-AMG GT sports car and will eventually become the sole V-8 offered by the AMG hot house. According to Car and Driver, the M178’s smaller 4.0-liter displacement compared to the existing 5.5- and 6.2-liter engines offered by AMG makes the new unit more favorable in countries where tax regulations are based on engine size. This will allow the...

  • 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish

    Both the Aston Martin Rapide S and the Vanquish have a handful of things in common. As they should, considering they're both from the same automaker: styling cues can be traced between each machine; the guttural growl of the 6.0-liter V-12 engine cuts through traffic as quickly as the cars themselves do; the asking price of each is perfectly super as well, considering each is nearly worth the super car moniker. Another similarity exists, however, in the fact that each car falls a bit short of earning that super superlative. For the 2015 model year, Aston Martin has upgraded each car under the...
