The FIA-sanctioned Superstars series is a fascinating Italian touring car championship for approved machinery such as the Audi RS4, BMW E39 M5 and E60 550i, Cadillac CTS-V, Chrysler C300 SRT8, Jaguar S-type R, Maserati Quattroporte and the Mercedes C63 AMG.
Demanding V8 engines of 3.0 to 7.0 liters in four-door sedan bodies gives the series a […]

The 2008 Honda S2000 CR is like one of those arguments in which one side goes way out on a limb and ends up winning. In this case, the winners of the argument—for once—were passionate car guys within Honda HMC, rather than the bean counters and marketing types who usually prevail in the auto business. […]

The coupe offers a glimpse of BMW future styling directions, rather than debuting a future production model.
Powered by a 5-litre V10 engine and sitting on massive 21” alloys, the shoulder line eschews the usual Beemer design by swooping down over the rear wheels.
Wider and shorter than the 7 Series, the CS Concept emphasizes a sporty […]

Seldom in our years of testing cars have we run across such a fun set of wheels. It is right in all the things that matter — performance, handling, features, comfort, and the all important fun-to-drive factor. Long time readers will recognize that we fall heavily for neat little cars that say, “Let’s go have […]

It looks a million dollars, but you can now buy a decent Jaguar XK8 for less than £10,000. When it replaced the XJS in 1996, the pretty coupé was hot property, but its premium price tag days are now over.
As a result, it’s an affordable alternative to younger mainstream rivals, and thanks to its V8 […]

From sleek coupé to rally legend and back, the Toyota Celica changed a lot during its lifespan. It was killed off last year, but in 1986 the sleek styling and sporty looks of the fourth incarnation made a big impact.
If you want one, there’s a choice of two engines. The 147bhp 2.0-litre GT comes with […]

The rising cost of motoring means the current crop of super-sized super-minis is more desirable than ever. And one of the best is the Ford Fiesta, a household name that has been with us since the Seventies.
But the existing range makes real sense, thanks to a massive engine line-up and a wide variety of trim […]

Driving
Powered by the 6.0-litre V12 that debuted in the Enzo supercar, the 599GTB offers an incredible 620bhp and 608Nm of torque. The 0-60mph sprint takes only 3.5 seconds and top speed is claimed to be 205mph. Quite simply, the 599’s performance is sensational, and closely threatens the Enzo’s! The noise it makes is the perfect […]

Delphi Corporation’s (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ) new ultra-thin wall cable, touted for its halogen-free requirements, superior performance, durability, smaller size and recyclability, makes its worldwide debut on the 2007 Toyota Tundra, delivered to dealer showrooms in February.
Delphi’s thin wall and ultra-thin wall cable not only meets halogen-free requirements and has the potential to be recyclable, but the […]

Mercedes-Benz has finally gotten serious about its bread-and-butter sedan. It’s always seemed to me that M-B put its brain trust behind its powerhouse beauties like the S-Class, the SL and the CL, and left its less glitzy sibling, the C-Class, to exist on hand-me-down electronics, design and road handling. All that changes with the summertime […]
