A new supercar is brewing in the Middle East, one that will set some hard to beat benchmarks, not only in terms of performance and technology but also in price and exclusivity. We are, of course, talking about the upcoming Lykan Hypersport from supercar startup W Motors. Today, the company announced that the Lykan Hypersport, which will retail for a staggering $3.4 million and be built in an exclusive run of just seven units, will feature rear-opening ‘suicide’ doors. These latest renderings show how the doors will look when fully extended and reveal a design not seen on any other...

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class first drive reviewOne of the more confusing questions car reviewers get--other than, "why so much bacon?"--is innocent enough, on the surface. "What's the best car?" Hm. Can I get a metric? Some vague parameters or constraints? Are we talking about the most value you can extract from a $20,000 bill--or the most...

Toss in a third mindbender--"sporty SUV"--and the WTF factor does a damn fine job of counteracting jet lag. We drove headlong into all three in the course of our first drive of...

There's been a lot of hype around Sebastien Loeb's record run, but here we have something that needs no hype, no music, no adornment. It's just pure, beautifully shot footage of Jeff Zwart's 2013 Pikes Peak hill climb run in his Porsche 911. That 911 is no run-of-the-mill road car, either. It's a Carrera Cup car chassis with the 600-plus horsepower engine of the GT2 RS--both from cars he has previously raced up the Peak as well. In fact, this is Zwart's 10th different Porsche in 15 runnings since 1994. Whatever the back story, however, the video stands on its own as a pure and stunning...

The NASDAQ isn't exactly a top topic amongst most gearheads, nor is its NASDAQ-100 Index, used to track the exchange's climate. But as of July 15, Tesla Motors will become one of the 100 companies that compose the index. That will make Tesla [NSDQ:TSLA] the only automaker listed in the index, owing mostly to the fact that it's the only automaker listed on NASDAQ. Tesla finds a spot open on the NASDAQ-100 index because Oracle is leaving for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). So what does this mean for the electric car fan? Basically, it means Tesla is being recognized by the financial world...
