ALGARVE, PORTUGAL – The most fearsome, trackworthy Porsche is no longer the naturally aspirated GT3. If Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times mean anything to you, the wondrously capable 918 Spyder has also been eclipsed. The latest King of the ‘Ring and sharpest weapon in the Porsche...

Chevrolet engineers are out testing a new Silverado 1500 and we’ve got photos of one of the prototypes. Ford’s impressed us with its latest round of updates to the F-150 and Ram is about to introduce a redesign of its 1500. The new Silverado is going to have its work cut out for it when...

Before the Subaru WRX landed in the United States, there wasn't much of a market for affordable and practical performance cars. Think about it for two seconds. Before the WRX, name something similar. Sure, performance coupes were big, but not sedans with proper sports car credentials. It's safe to...

Lamborghini is about to launch an SUV based on its Urus concept from 2012. The new SUV, which will keep the Urus name of the concept, will be unveiled on December 4 and should be on sale next year, as a 2019 model.

Chevrolet is already out testing prototypes for its next-generation Silverado 1500, though the new pickup will be more of an extensive update of the current model rather than a true redesign. The current Silverado 1500 was introduced for 2014, bringing with it General Motors' then-new K2XX...

For a long time, the Ford Expedition was forgotten—perhaps, even forgettable. Last redesigned in 2007, the SUV received next-to-no attention until 2015, when Dearborn decided to drop a 3.5-liter Ecoboost under the hood as part of the mildest of refreshes. It was fine, the “C's get...

Fancy birdcages. That's how the Pierce-Arrow company got its start.

Alongside the birdcages, Pierce added bicycles and in 1901 cars were introduced to the...

Lamborghini unveiled Monday its first all-electric sports car concept, the Terzo Millennio, the first indication that the 54-year-old automaker may divorce itself from its signature V-12 powerplant for its halo car in the future. The Lamborghini Terzo Millenio was unveiled in Cambridge...

If you want an original Shelby GT500 from the late 1960s, you're going to have to fork out a ton of dough and hope that a good one is on the market. If you want a brand-new Shelby GT500 that bears the lines of the original car but features many modern parts, you're still going to have to fork over...

Alphabet Inc.'s self-driving car subsidiary, Waymo, has made a conscious decision to skip partial self-driving technology. Why? The company found its test drivers napping behind the wheel, which meant they'd be unable to resume control of the car if needed. Clearly, this speaks volumes as to how...

Infiniti has released a teaser sketch for what the automaker is calling its “most advanced” vehicle ever. Unfortunately that’s all the information we have right now. The vehicle, which judging from the teaser will be an SUV, makes its debut in Los Angeles in the same week the...

Koenigsegg has finally done it. The Swedish supercar marque has dethroned Bugatti as the maker of the world's fastest production car. Maserati is working on a more potent Levante SUV. The new model will sport a twin-turbocharged V-8 delivering well over 500 horsepower. Nissan’s GT-R...

The Nissan GT-R has been made better over the years through its numerous updates, but the starting price has inflated along the way to the point the car is no longer the performance bargain it once was. When it arrived for 2009, the GT-R’s starting price was right on $70,000. Last year, you...

Sweden’s Koenigsegg has claimed the production car land speed record with its Agera RS hypercar. Factory driver Niklas Lilja was the man behind the wheel. He on Saturday drove the customer-owned machine to a new record of 277.9 mph on a closed 12-mile section of Highway 160 just outside of...

When Audi decided to take its diminutive A1, it probably figured that an S variant would soon follow. The automaker probably never considered, however, that someone would buy an S1 and stuff a set of tracks in the wheel wells. Someone did, and all we can say is that we want to give it a go...

Looking past the flashy concepts and pipedream sheet metal at the 2017 SEMA show, there are some tangible parts and components available for performance nuts today. Chevrolet, in particular, highlighted this Camaro SS Trans-Am racecar which runs production Camaro ZL1 1LE parts—and anyone can...
