This Beautiful BMW Wagon Is Actually Going Into Production

BMW has a habit of bringing beautiful things to the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Lake Como, Italy. Last year, it was the Skytop, a stunning two-seat convertible destined for a limited-production run. The year before that, it was the Concept Touring Coupe, a gorgeous two-door wagon that, sadly, never…

Volvo CEO: Customers Must Pay Tariff Costs, Not Us

Volvo builds the S60 and the EX90 in the United States. But the company has to import the rest of its lineup from overseas. That could be a problem, as President Donald Trump has placed a 25-percent tariff on imported vehicles, and threatened today to implement a straight 50 percent duty on all…

GM Trademarked the Pontiac Name, But Don't Expect a Comeback

It's been 16 years since General Motors killed the Pontiac brand, and nearly three years since the Bring back Pontiac Facebook page's last official post. There's still a lot of love out there for the brand, with plenty of folks clamoring for its return. But there's little chance GM will…

Glickenhaus Made Its Le Mans Car Street-Legal. And You Can Buy One

If building hypercars were easy, everyone would do it (though, lately, it seems like that's more true than ever). But Jim Glickenhaus loves a challenge. The former filmmaker and Ferrari collector turned entrepreneur launched Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in 2004 with dreams of competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship. In…

Why BMW's B58 Is a True Successor to the Toyota 2JZ

I remember being fairly skeptical when first hearing the MkV Toyota Supra would use a BMW straight-six. Obviously, BMW was the keeper of the straight-six flame when other automakers embraced V-6s, but in supplying Toyota, its turbo ‘six would have big shoes to fill. The MkIV Supra’s 2JZ twin-turbo engine…

This MGA Restomod Has a Miata's Soul. And It's Brilliant

Somewhere in the UK, a lady had a great idea. She wanted a classic MG to tool around in, but didn’t want the one-on-every-corner MGB that most go for. Nor did she want any possibility of breaking down. So she went to Abingdon’s Frontline Cars, who make MGBs bulletproof (and…

Nissan: We Have 'People Working' On a New GT-R

Nissan is undertaking a massive cost-cutting agenda after losing billions in recent years due to sales falling short of investments. While the new product roadmap centers on the usual suspects, crossovers and SUVs, there’s still hope for fun cars. The Z is soldiering on and could one day be joined…

Why Is Toyota Showing a V-8 Engine In a 2026 RAV4 Video?

Right off the bat, it’s highly unlikely that Toyota will shoehorn a V-8 engine into the new RAV4. The compact crossover was engineered with four-cylinder engines as the foundation of its full hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Doubling the cylinder count in a vehicle focused on efficiency doesn’t make much…

The Federal Government Just Killed California's EV Mandate

The Senate has blocked California’s plan to phase out gas-powered cars by 2035. Using an obscure rule allowing a simple majority 51-44 vote to prevail rather than the usual 60-vote threshold, the Federal government has effectively killed all EV mandates, with a legal battle surely to follow.

The Lotus Emira Could Ditch Its V-6 for a V-8

The Emira might be the last great Lotus you can buy, but it might get even better before production is supposed to cease in 2027. In a recent earnings call, Lotus CEO Feng Qingfeng said that the brand is "currently investigating the feasibility of the V-8."

This City Added Speed Cameras. Now, They're Issuing 30,000 Tickets a Month

Last year, San Francisco's Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) voted to install 33 cameras at high-risk intersections across the city beginning in late April. Those cameras issued more than 30,000 warnings in their first month of operation—that's more than 1,000 warnings per day, and the final 11 cameras aren't even up…

Giamaro's Quad-Turbo V-12 Is Insane: 'The King of Engines'

When our colleagues at Motor1 Italia broke the story late last year on a quad-turbocharged V-12 from a brand-new automaker, it’s safe to say it caused a stir. Now, Giamaro Automobili has revealed its first two cars, the Katla and Albor, and both feature this mad, 2,100-plus-horsepower engine.

The RD center of Giamaro Automobili smells like drying paint.

You'll Have To Wait Longer for the Dodge Charger Sixpack

This Company Is Building a Hypercar Inspired By the SLR Stirling Moss

Bold new supercars are always exciting, but ambitious projects should be met with a bit of skepticism, like the Engler Mosslr. It’s a stunning tribute to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss that we hope to see on the road one day. The company plans to build just 75 examples…

The New Dodge Charger Sedan Is Here. And It's Powerful

It's already been a year since the first new Dodge Charger debuted, believe it or not. The company pulled the cover off its latest muscle car last March, touting 670 horsepower from an all-electric powertrain. A cheaper Charger R/T debuted alongside it with 496 hp… but it was quickly discontinued…

The New Yugo: Everything We Know

If you're unfamiliar with the name "Yugo," crack open any automotive history book and the brand likely has an entire chapter dedicated to its demise.

Lexus's First EV Has Fake Shifts

The Lexus RZ is the brand's first dedicated battery-electric vehicle—a swept-back crossover with some visual inspiration from the former Lexus CT hatchback.

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Has Less Power In Europe. Here's Why

Toyota will sell the new RAV4 in over 180 countries and regions worldwide. When it comes to power, however, some areas are more privileged than others. Not because the company is deliberately limiting access to the whole shebang, but due to varying regulations. The uncorked versions will be available in…

Game Over: Porsche Is Ending Gas Boxster and Cayman Production

We knew this day would come, so don’t be too sad that Porsche is about to pull the plug on its gas-fueled 718 duo. The current-generation Boxster and Cayman have been on their deathbeds since last year, when the sports cars were retired from Europe due to stricter cybersecurity regulations.…

A bill designed to protect 25-year-old and older imported Japanese mini trucks in Texas passed today, the culmination of a years-long effort to change the law.
