For Aston Martin, the most important set of initials isn't AM. Nor is it JB. But rather the two letters "D" and "B."

The Weissach package from Porsche turns a good sports car into focused track machine, usually by reducing the weight or improving the aero, or both.

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has been named the official pace car of the 2018 Indianapolis 500, and with 755 horsepower on tap it will be the fastest, most powerful car to ever handle pacing duties in the race's 100-plus-year history.

It's a Porsche RS so you know it's going to be fast but we bet you'd have never guessed that the latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS could lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes. Remember, this is a sports car equipped with a naturally aspirated six-cylinder. But somehow Porsche has done it, with a...

The best Audi R8 is now the best bargain in the R8 lineup. I'm talking about the upcoming 2018 Audi R8 RWS, which ditches the brand's Quattro all-wheel-drive system in favor of a rear-drive-only setup. Anyone who wants one will "only" need to shell out $139,950. That's a lot of money, but it's...

Jaguar's F-Type is now entering its sixth year on the market, which in the world of sports cars is bordering on senior citizenship. Jaguar gave the F-Type a major overhaul last year to keep it fresh, so there isn't much to harp on about for 2019. Nevertheless, there are some new items. The biggest...
