If you're too mired in the snooze-fest that is every EV on the market except for the Tesla Model S to really care about electric cars, you're not alone. But you should be, because electric race cars could be awesome. What's holding them back? Mostly the inadequacies of current battery technology to...

The area surrounding Lamborghini’s factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, is mostly made up of rustic farmland; the tranquil ambience interrupted only by a passing tractor every now and then. You start to wonder, this is where one some of the world’s most ferocious supercars are born?...

If you live where snow is a regular fact of life for the winter months, chances are good the sports car gets parked in the garage around Thanksgiving, with only token appearances on dry and salt-free roads until spring rolls around. Porsche doesn’t think its sports cars should be limited to...

The least-expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase sedan you can buy in the United States will run you $455,000, and that’s before you start checking the option boxes. Keep things simple, and most stretched Phantoms probably price in the half-million dollar range. That’s why you...

Whether or not you think the McLaren P1 is a worthy successor to the legendary F1, there’s no denying the car’s unique design, promised performance and overall anticipation levels make it one of the most exciting cars of the coming year--and that’s saying a lot considering 2013...

Building a no-holds-barred time attack car is tricky enough in its own right, requiring the right balance of power, handling, weight, and reliability. But what happens when your cherished race car self-destructs in testing the day before the championship? That's exactly what happened to FX...

When it comes down to it, there will likely be one primary reason to pick the BMW M6 Gran Coupe over its platform-sharing sibling, the BMW M5 sedan: style. Both will serve up a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine good for 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, and both will seat four adults...

Martin Brundle is perhaps best known for his two stints in Formula One (1984-89, 1992-96), but the British racing driver has also completed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans eight times, winning the event in 1990 with co-drivers Price Cobb and John Nielsen. Christian Danner has raced in IndyCar and CART...

One of the most striking cars of next year, the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte, recently made its online debut, but at the time Maserati only gave us a handful of photos to lust over. Now, finally, the automaker has released a wave of new photos for the sixth-generation Quattroporte, providing us with...

German engineers take their job very seriously, but Germans are also renown for embracing the Christmas season with gusto. That said, development and testing of the SLS AMG GT3 must go on, since the competition certainly won’t be taking any time off around the holidays if it means slower lap...

If you're new to the car game, or just not that into the current R35 GT-R or the previous R32-34 models, you might not know about the car's history, born of a racing heritage in cars called Skylines. Though the Skyline name has been dropped from the current GT-R, the three-letter performance...

Every journey needs an origin, and for Lamborghini that starting point was the 350 GT coupe. Conceived by Ferruccio Lamborghini as a grand-tourer capable of going head-to-head with rival Ferrari, the success of the 350 GT paved the way for better known Lamborghini automobiles, such as the Miura and...

Woodworking is not a skill deemed essential by most modern automakers, but very little about the Morgan Motor Company falls into the “modern” category. Between its hallowed factory walls, craftsmen still work by hand with materials like ash wood, aluminum, leather and mohair. In fact...

Just yesterday we brought you details on the Volkswagen Polo R WRC racer, set to make its competition debut at the Monte Carlo Rally, scheduled to kick off on January 15, 2013. With just weeks left to shake down the car, the crew from Oneighturbo caught the 300-plus horsepower Polo working out the...

While it was once a racing-only, stratospheric number, there are a lot of cars that make more than 500 horsepower these days. At the 2012 L.A. Auto Show, three more members joined the club--though we know which one we'd pick if handed a rucksack full of cash. That one, of course, is the SLS AMG...

Twenty-five years ago today, the last Buick Grand National came off a General Motors assembly line in Pontiac, Michigan. The event also marked the closing of GM’s oldest plant, and despite the fact that dozens of workers were about to lose their jobs just two weeks before Christmas, the vibe...

The new Quattroporte goes on sale early next year and will be...

This year's winner, Steve...

Though some have panned the styling of Porsche’s Panamera sedan, we think the car’s lines do a reasonable job of making it seem sporty while linking it, design-wise, to the rest of Porsche’s product line. That said, we’d also admit that it looks much better as a shooting...

Porsche has revealed the first of its new generation of 991-based 911 race cars, the new 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, which made its official debut this weekend at the automaker’s Night of Champions end of motorsport season celebratory event in Weissach, Germany. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is the...
