  • AMG lounge in Affalterbach, Germany

    With Mercedes-AMG dangling some very tasty-looking forbidden fruit in our faces in the form of the A45 AMG, we're currently feeling somewhat mixed toward the brand, though we have some hope for the CLA45 AMG--and we already know and love many of their other products. For those of you who aren't as familiar with AMG's operations, or for those who can't get enough, here's an official video tour of the AMG facilities at Affalterbach, from the showroom to the design house to the assembly plant--and a bit of inside info on their new model development process.

  • Audi SQ5 twin-turbo performance diesel crossover

    Rumors of a performance diesel version of the Audi Q5 emerged just days ago, and now Audi has delivered the goods: the Audi SQ5, powered by a 313-horsepower, 479 pound-feet of torque twin-turbo 3.0-liter diesel V-6 engine. That's a lot of grunt for a relatively compact crossover, and the performance shows it: top speed is limited to 155 mph and the SQ5 reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.1 seconds--putting the 0-60 mph time likely just under five seconds flat. Brisk. More good news: the SQ5 is rated at 32.67 U.S. mpg in combined tests. That's the real benefit of a torquey diesel--using lower...

    Land Rover Experience at Eastnor Castle: First Drive

    2013 BMW Alpina B7 Preview, Starts From $127,600

    The 2013 BMW Alpina B7 is here, and it's expensive. But as usual, the Alpina treatment to BMW's vehicles--especially the 7-Series--adds a lot of value. Is it enough to justify making the jump from a regular Bimmer? Rather than an all-new car--it's based on the standard 7-Series, after all--the 2013...

  • 2012 Maserati GranTurismo MC

    Just last month reports broke claiming Maserati was planning a new mid-engine sports car to take on the likes of the Porsche 911, a car that could even revive the GranSport name.

Now, in a recent interview with EVO, Wester has revealed even more details on the possible new sports car. Wester said that he wants the car to be “the most pure expression of Maserati sportiness possible.” Its purpose would be to serve as a halo for the Maserati brand, which is in the process of a rapid...
