Remember when you used to order your chassis or vehicular platform, and then find someone else to build your body? No? That's not a surprise because the art of coachbuilt cars has faded away a bit. They're still out there but they're typically extremely rare play things of the rich that are meant...

Porsche is introducing a mid-cycle update across its 911 range and used this week’s Frankfurt Auto Show to unveil the first of the updated cars, which in this case were the entry-level Carrera and Carrera S. The next one to arrive will be the high-performance Turbo, prototypes for which...

The 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show is in full swing, and it is where Porsche is showing its updated 911 Carrera models for the first time.

Legendary Mercedes-Benz tuner Brabus has finally unveiled its first take on the stunning Mercedes-AMG GT S sports car, and already, even in this initial state of tune, the car is developing a meaty 600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. That, says Brabus, is enough for 0-62 mph acceleration...

Next spring, Porsche will be selling a turbocharged Carrera for the first time in the 911’s 50-year history. It’s a bold move, perhaps one even more controversial than the decision to drop the 911’s air-cooled engines back in the 1990s, but in terms of performance numbers...

The new James Bond movie Spectre is only a couple of months out from its debut, and that means we’ll finally get a good look at and perhaps the opportunity to learn more about the Aston Martin model developed exclusively for the film: the DB10. The DB10 isn’t meant for sale—Aston...

How do you follow up an instant classic? The first Audi TT was just that—a styling home run, even if it wasn’t a true sports car. Since then, Audi’s been pushing the TT into sports-car territory, more focused on speed than looks—more a rival for cars like the SLK, the Z4...

Honda has hit a Japan-only homerun with its new S660 sports car. The diminutive mid-engined machine has sold out its entire first-year production run of 8,600 cars.
