  • 2014 Volvo V60 Polestar spy shots

    In mid-2012, normally-conservative Volvo unveiled an S60-based concept, built with tuning partner Polestar, that was anything but ordinary. Boasting some 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged 3.0-liter six, the car was a slap in the face of convention. Initially, it was thought the sport sedan was only a concept, built to highlight the tuning capabilities of Polestar when money was no object. However, a production version was eventually launched, albeit it detuned form and only for the Australian market. The land down under was used as a testbed for the sale of the...

  • 2014 Mazda 3

    Mazda has just unveiled a stylish new generation of its popular Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan but hasn’t--officially--made mention of a high-performance Mazdaspeed version just yet. We’ve heard through the grapevine however that a Mazdaspeed 3 (a Mazda 3 MPS to readers outside the U.S.) version of the new Mazda 3 is planned, though without the turbocharged engine that made the outgoing model so memorable. That may not be the case, according to a new report, which also states that all-wheel drive may be offered on the Mazdaspeed 3 for the first time. Speaking with Mazda 3 deputy...

    Porsche’s new Macan is set for a debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show next month, and in the lead up the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart has launched a microsite offering some new details on the crossover as well as some teaser shots. Rather than describe its Macan as a crossover, however, Porsche prefers to call it a five-door sports car with five seats. That five-door sports car just so happens to also have all-wheel drive and a raised seating position. As for the design, Porsche says its Macan has defining facial features consisting of a dynamic front with characteristic...

  • 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition

    Kinishi Tanuma, Nissan’s new chief engineer for the GT-R, has some pretty big shoes to fill. He’s the replacement for Kazutoshi Mizuno, the man credited with making the current R35 GT-R the world-beating performance machine that it is. He was also a proponent of keeping the GT-R’s supercar-like performance accessible to the common man, although in recent years the car’s pricetag has reached six-figure territory. The good news is that Tanuma also shares the belief that the GT-R’s performance should be more accessible. Speaking with Automotive News (subscription...
