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…

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.

$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…

New York Wants to Curb In-Car Subscriptions. But It's Not That Simple

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. The Sonderwunsch (special request) division traces its roots to 1978, when it handled only newly built vehicles. It has since expanded to cover both new and older cars across three layers: factory…

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. Much has changed since then, as the once-dominant German luxury brands have steadily lost ground to fast-rising domestic automakers. With feature-packed, tech-heavy cars offered at far lower prices, Chinese brands have surged…

Porsche 911 GT3 Levels Up With a New Manthey Kit. Watch It Destroy the Nürburgring

Porsche is relentless in its quest to sharpen the 911 for track use and trim its lap times. Even the already hardcore GT3 has room for improvement, and not necessarily by stepping up to the RS. With help from Manthey, of which Porsche has held a majority stake since 2013,…

'Magic Bus:' This VW Bus Somehow Survived the California Fires. Now It's Been Fully Restored

Last year, when the Palisades Fire tore through Southern California, a white-over-blue Volkswagen T2 somehow (mostly) survived. It became a beacon of hope, and once the automaker learned about the bus, it pledged to fix it. Now, VW has restored it and is ready to show it off to the public.
