For stick-shift 911 fans, it’s the automatic choice. Perusing the 2025 Porsche 911 model line is a bit like trying to choose toothpaste from the bewildering selection in the supermarket aisle. There are so many kinds, each promising one advantage or another. You can wrack your brain trying to decide which is just right for […]
Maserati unleashes another true track car. Age-wise, the number of people who remember Maserati’s road-racing glory days of the late 1950s would be quite small today, but the marque is leveraging some recent racing with a new road model, the MC20 GT2 Stradale. The MC20 GT2 racer that currently competes in the Fanatec GT2 European […]
The blocky luxury SUV soldiers into its 45th year It’s kind of funny how three vehicles that began as bare-bones military trucks, the Jeep, Land Rover, and Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen today remain in-demand everyday drivers. The Mercedes and Range Rover, of course, compete in luxury segments that belie their bootcamp roots. The latest generation of […]
A blazingly quick plug-in hybrid If the mention of “plug-in hybrid” conjures images of Toyota Priuses and family SUVs in your mind, Lamborghini’s Urus SE should be like a powerful magnet wiping your mental hard drive clean.

Bentley’s (almost) silent four-door supercar Bentley is not the first automaker to refer to a sedan as a “four-door supercar,” as it does with the 2025 Flying Spur plug-in hybrid revealed in September. Whether by marketing departments or auto journalists, the term has been bandied about for years on cars like BMW M and Mercedes-AMG […]
Aston Martin Tops Itself Again The all-new 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish will be the most powerful and fastest front-engine Aston Martin ever built. But put that aside for now, because that it is not the most important fact about this car. The real meat of the story is that it will probably be remembered as […]
Named for a country, this GT was a fast, plush, and rare machine. Maserati has long followed the beat of its own drummer, and for contemporary evidence, look no further than its new-generation GranTurismo, which offers the choice of internal combustion or full EV powertrains in the same body. That bold spirit is deeply rooted […]
