America has never had a car quite like Cadillac’s burly CTS-V. In sedan form there is no Yankee rival; the Chevy SS doesn’t even come close. And even the Germans, with all their prodigious RS4s and M3s and C63s, unexpectedly tinkled their Lederhosen when Caddy first unveiled the Corvette V8-powered performance machine. Bristling with 556-horsepower and […]


The Z06 was born in 1963 as an option package on the iconic “split-window” Corvette, and was then resuscitated in 2001 for the C5 generation Vette. Developed by Corvette’s engineer and racing advocate Zora Arkus-Duntov, the idea of the original Z06  was for GM to offer a modified Vette package out of the factory for […]

Overlooking the gorgeous dusk-washed Carmel Valley, the […]

Cadillac  has decided to take its quite stunning Converj concept from 2009 (which we covered way back when) and move it into production, a very big announcement from GM’s luxury division.

Circassian designer Kasim Tlibekov brutal ode to American muscle

Don’t ever really like to get too crazy with the pie-in-the-sky concepts, unless it’s really something truly exceptional. Such is the case with this menacing vaporware concept by Circassian designer Kasim Tlibekov. It helps that he’s chosen to put his talents on the Pontiac Firebird, one of America’s muscle cars of the highest order — […]
