This past month two automotive legends ceased production, their spirits rising into the Great Pantheon of Iconic Cars in the sky. Two vehicles that defined terminally opposite points of the spectrum, different in pricepoint, performance, utility, powertrain, spirit… well, just about everything. Even the reasons for ending their lifecycle could not be more different, but […]
Niche coach builder Lucra Cars were founded on the concept that you could engineer a car that featured both extreme light weight and burly V8 power, with an emphasis on balanced weight distribution and superior ergonomics. After crafting the curvaceous LC470, the California-based Lucra now unveils their latest ode to petroleum burning thrills: the L148. […]
Swiss artist Fabian Oefner causes worldwide panic in the gearhead community by exploding a series of priceless vintage exotic cars in his Disintegrating series. Only there’s no need to panic — these are not real Ferrari 250 GTOs, Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwings or Jaguar E-Types, but rather models of said cars. But it’s not a digital […]

Last night, in a large hangar in Playa Vista, Los Angeles, Jaguar lavished a well-heeled and sharply dressed crowd with Pimm’s Cup cocktails and bangers before it unveiled its latest automotive creation: the F-Type Coupe. We already drove the gorgeous F-Type Roadster across the Italian landscape this summer — one of the highlights of the year […]
Nissan’s GT-R established its supercar pedigree on the famed (and deadly) corners of the Nürburgring, at one time holding the record for a lap time against cars four times its cost.
