  • 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish

    Aston Martin is doing something nearly unheard of these days: surviving as a car company without the backing of an industry megalith. Admittedly, Aston's niche is rather unique, and its decades of brand recognition and reputation (not to mention a tie-in with a grand cultural institution) don't hurt. Nor do cars like the 2014 Vanquish. But a report from Bloomberg Businessweek today claims Aston's largest shareholder, Investment Dar, is shopping for buyers for the brand. Investment Dar currently owns 64 percent of Aston Martin, and has reportedly sought $800 million for that stake. According...

    2013 Land Rover Range Rover first drive review

    Forty years ago, the plan was beautiful: take the first Range Rover to Morocco to show off its dune-stalking, terrain-conquering prowess and bedazzle the world's press. A popular uprising has a way of changing history and itineraries--like so (sweeps arm across desk)--so the launch was scrubbed...

    The U.S. remains Porsche’s single biggest market, and within the U.S. the state of California has one of the biggest concentrations of its iconic sports cars and SUVs, so it should come as little surprise then that the German automaker typically makes a big deal of the Los Angeles Auto Show...

    When it comes to rare cars, few are harder to come by than the McLaren F1 supercar. The F1 is one the best performance cars on the planet, even two decades after its launch, and finding one up for sale is next to impossible. That’s because only 106 examples were ever created during the...

  • 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series

    If you’re mad enough to think the regular SLS AMG and its 563 horsepower is a little lacking, the people at AMG, official tuner to Mercedes-Benz, has something that will blow you away. They have revealed the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, which not only brings more power to the table but also less weight in order to eliminate any suggestion that their latest effort is anything less than a fully-fledged supercar. Powering the new car is AMG’s venerable 6.2-liter V-8 engine, which in its latest application--and possibly its last--has been tuned to deliver 631...

  • 2007 Bitter Vero

    For those that have never heard of Bitter, it's a small German firm specializing in luxury and sporty cars and has been in the business for just over four decades. Established in 1971 by Erich Bitter, a former race car driver who eventually started a tuning business and then went into car manufacturing, Bitter has sold its models all over the world, including in the U.S., though has never been able to escape its niche status. This is probably because Bitter’s sales only ever numbered in the few hundreds, and most of its models were based on cars from other brands, usually Opel, but with...
