  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe

    The BMW M3 and Audi RS5 better look out as their rival from Stuttgart has just unveiled a sledgehammer of a two-door in the form of the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe. Based on the sultry C-Class Coupe revealed for the first time last month, the latest AMG-prepped variant features not only the two-door’s distinctive design but combines it with a powerful drivetrain and dynamic handling. Like its C63 AMG Sedan sibling, the C63 AMG Coupe misses out on the latest twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 and instead relies on the tried and tested naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 found in...

  • Jaguar XKR-S configurator

    Synonymous with British motorsports for decades, Jaguar has unveiled its new road-going XKR-S, the hottest version of its aging XK platform to date. It's certainly an attractive offering if you're into the Jag coupe, but it has some rather unexpected options--including colors called French Racing Blue and Italian Racing Red. The only two other options are Ultimate Black Metallic and Stratus Grey Metallic--leaving us wondering where the British Racing Green version might be hiding, and why the French and Italian colors got the nod in the first place.

  • Hamann BMW X6 Tycoon Evo M package

Today the tuning house expands that range with a new package called the Tycoon Evo M.
