Audi Claims Its New V-6 Diesel Engine Has Zero Turbo Lag

With the European Union breathing down automakers’ necks to slash emissions, the diesel engine is gradually fading.

Skoda's Imaginary New Sedan Looks So Good You'll Wish It Existed

The Quickest EV In the World, Now With Less Roof

The Lotus Evija, Pininfarina Battista, and Rimac Nevera all have something in common. These are some of the rarest, most ridiculous electric hypercars ever built.

It’s been two years since Porsche unveiled a one-off Panamera, but we had to wait until now to see the car’s lavish interior. Created through the Sonderwunsch (special request) division, this extravagant Turbo model is all business in the front and party in the back. Although it’s not a sedan…

Ferrari: The F80's V-6 Is 'Superior' to the V-12

We were taken aback when Ferrari pulled the covers off the F80 a little over a year ago, only to discover it had a small V-6. Its debut came just a few months after the Prancing Horse reaffirmed its long-term commitment to the mighty V-12 by keeping all twelve cylinders…

RIP: The BMW Z4 Is Being Discontinued

Pour one out for the BMW Z4. The German automaker is wrapping up production of its beloved droptop. As the roadster bows out, BMW will produce a very limited Final Edition model based on the Z4 M40i—but it's pretty pricey.

Porsche's Key Fob Configurator Is Unhinged

Spending the afternoon fiddling with a car configurator is a great way to pass the time on a short holiday week, especially when an automaker gives you hundreds of thousands of options to choose from.

Land Rover's New Defender Racer Is Ready for Dakar

There’s something about a competition-prepped Land Rover wearing a good livery that puts a smile all the way across my face. It all goes back to seeing a Camel Trophy-clad Discovery or Defender fording a river, cresting a dune, or being winched through an impossible amount of mud. Now we…

This WRX-Swapped Crosstrek Is the Modern Hatch We Never Got. Here's How It Happened

Subaru still refuses to build another WRX wagon/hatchback for the US, and we can’t figure out why. The old five-door was hugely popular among enthusiasts before it disappeared for good in 2012.

For the First Time Ever, Plug-In Hybrids Are Outselling Diesel Cars in Europe

The historic importance of diesel engines in Europe cannot be overstated. At their peak in the 2010s, diesels accounted for more than 50 percent of new car sales. Of course, that was right before the Volkswagen Group’s messy scandal, which, in hindsight, likely marked the beginning of the end. Sales…

Hyundai has certainly come a long way in the past few decades, if even mighty Porsche speaks highly of the Seoul-based automaker.

$20 Million: Gordon Murray's New Supercar Just Shattered an Auction Record

When a vehicle arrives at the site of an auction, how it gets there is a good indicator of its potential worth. You’d see an open trailer for your average stuff. An enclosed trailer means a bit more dough is at stake. If the car in question shows up via…

Overlanding Isn't Just Growing—It's Evolving

The New Fiat 500 With a Gas Engine Is Never In a Hurry

As with many other automakers, Fiat vastly overestimated the rise of electric vehicles. The current-generation 500 was never meant to offer a combustion engine, yet here we are. After a preview earlier this year, the city car is officially back with gas power, though not much of it. With only…

Porsche Completely Restored This First-Generation Cayenne

Like any respectable luxury automaker, Porsche has established additional revenue streams by heavily investing in a customization program.

Audi's Confounding AUDI Brand Reveals Second Model

Audi has been selling China-only models for decades, going back to the A6 C5 of the early 2000s.
