  • Bell & Ross AeroGT concept, 2016 Baselworld

    Bell & Ross used this past weekend’s Baselworld watch and jewelry trade event in Switzerland to unveil a striking supercar concept. The car is called the Bell & Ross AeroGT, and rather than herald an expansion of the French firm’s operations into the world of cars its job was to grab attention, especially among well-heeled buyers with a penchant for supercars. CHECK OUT: Porsche 918 Spyder turns up at salvage auction The move makes sense as more often than not supercar buyers also like to indulge in expensive watches. It should come as no surprise then that Bell & Ross...

    My hands are warm from the heated steering wheel. My butt is warm from the heated seats. Classic rock is blaring through the Bose speakers.

  • Honda N600 restoration
    First Honda built for U.S. undergoing restoration

    Honda is kind of a big deal nowadays. But in the late 1960s, it was a motorcycle brand hoping to sell some cars in the United States. Honda brought its first 50 cars to the U.S. in 1969. They were tiny 1967 N360 models refitted with 599-cc engines for those power-happy Americans. Honda dubbed them...

  • 2016 Volvo XC90 R-Design
    2016 Volvo XC90 T6 video review

    Luxury SUVs are more popular than ever, but let’s get real. Not everyone needs a leather-lined utility vehicle that’s capable of fording rivers and dealing with parking at Trader Joe’s. Most of us need a wagon with all-weather traction and a strong dose of safety. We like nice...

  • 1957 Bugatti 57SC Sports Tourer by Vanden Plas

    Bugatti's 57 model range is about as desirable as an antique car comes, but this particular 57SC Sports Tourer may take the cake after it sold for nearly $10 million at auction last weekend. The 57SC crossed the block at Bonhams' auction on the sidelines of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, where the auctioneer called it the most valuable Bugatti ever. ALSO SEE: Ferrari 250 GT California sells for $17 million at Amelia Island auction That's a rather misleading claim, however, since a 1931 Bugatti Royale held the record for the most valuable car ever for many years after being sold by...

  • Elio Motors 84 mpg 3-wheeler [Image: Elio Motors]

Another is Elio Motors, which was formed in 2009 by engineer Paul Elio and is still around despite never having sold any cars.

Witness the Audi R8, the BMW i8. When it made its debut 25 years ago, the Acura NSX was the brand's first halo car. It...
