  • 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

    Porsche announced the 911 R for the 2016 model year and the enthusiast-minded folk all nodded their heads and let out a collective "sweet!" That sweetness was tempered, though, as we all know that limited-run Porsche cars are often sold before they're even announced. Plus the pricetag for this play space enters insane levels before the cars really go bonkers on the secondary market. Porsche is addressing this. According to Autocar, the automaker will build a purist-focused 911 and it's not going to be a low-volume special edition. The 911 R provided the spark. Porsche research and development...

    Porsche needed the Boxster to save itself, because 911s aren't cheap

  • 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR Convertible

    I'm headed to Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois, and I'm a little nervous. Just yesterday I took delivery of a 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR Convertible, and today I'm going to drive it for one 20-minute session on Autobahn's 1.5-mile North Track. Thing is, I'm not sure I can handle this thing. This car seems twitchy. The throttle is sudden, and this English Corvette can hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. The steering is quick. It has all-wheel drive, but the rear end seems to want to kick out rather easily. And that engine note that sounds so cool when you goose it in a straight line is...

Instead, to celebrate Cadillac's 115th birthday, General Motors' luxury marque has revealed the 2018 Cadillac CTS-V Glacier Metallic Edition.

Aside from a Glacier Metallic exterior color, Cadillac has outfitted the special CTS-V with forged 19-inch alloy wheels with a polished finish and Midnight Silver-painted pockets. Dark red brake calipers offset the subdued exterior colors and Cadillac has included...
