Long respected in the world of professional motorsport, McLaren Automotive successfully transitioned into the world of production cars with the introduction of the MP4-12C in 2011. In only its third year the company notched a profit, an unheard of achievement in the hyper-competitive world of upper echelon street rockets. Which isn’t surprising, after all, considering […]
While putting a lot of resources into their new entry level sedan, the Ghibli, Maserati is turning its attention to a decidedly sexier market.

Just before the Geneva auto show, Jaguar flips the sheets off its brand new super wagon, the XFR-S Sportbrake. Powered by the same fire-breathing V8 that beats inside Jag’s F-Type R (as well as XKR-S, XFR-S and XJR), the 542-horsepower lump is good for 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph — pretty dazzling numbers […]

Audi claims the electrification of its drivetrain — above all using plug-in technology — will play a deciding role in the brand’s future strategy. This isn’t just lip service, as the Four Rings will unveil its Audi A3 e-tron at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The five-door model will be able to function solely in […]
