  • 2016 Bugatti Chiron spy shots

    Development of a successor for the Bugatti Veyron is well underway, but apart from the vehicle being fitted with hybrid technology not much is really known about the new model. There are plenty of rumors, however.

    Mansory Just Made Its First Good Car: A 1,000-HP Mercedes-Benz S-Class

    I have little to no love for any products that automotive customizer Mansory has put out over its history. The styling is typically far too in-your-face in the worst way, turning exotic, luxury, or high-performance machines into rolling bits of poorly planned pop art. The saying "It's not my cup of...
