The BMW M brand doesn't just make one type of car, and it's only going to get more diversified once the hybrids start coming. For now, let's just focus on the upcoming M8 Cabriolet, which blends more luxury into the formula than your average tail-happy Bimmer. This test prototype...
The Vienna Motor Symposium is where Volkswagen likes to show all its boring but useful new engine tech. That's where the 1.0 TSI was revealed, together with the gas-powered TGI units and the first PHEV system that powers the Golf GTE. We believe more Golf tech is on its way to the 40th...
BMW has given us a teaser photo of the upcoming new 1 Series hatchback. And it's a real photo of a car, not some sketch or just an alloy wheel, which means people can form their impressions already. In short, we like it. We like it a lot, actually. The new 1 Series is supposed to be this...
Only a few months have passed since the new version of the Porsche 935 has been revealed as a tribute to the racing heritage of the German brand, and the ultra-expensive, highly-limited car will soon make it to the track. But until it does, Porsche is flashing it for the world to see in a million...
Hyundai N has a German-like ability to promise something, deliver it on time and be successful. Here we have the DCT they promised two years ago. The i30 N hatchback and Veloster N coupe already did a lot for the affordable performance car market, but with twin-clutch gearboxes, their impact...
The future of the Audi R8 is not in doubt... because it doesn't have one at all. But there's no way that Audi is completely giving out on the idea of a halo sports car, not when it's given Marvel all that cameo money. We're actually quite happy that the R8 got two generations,...
Thrilling as well as practical? That used to mean a performance family sedan with wood dashboard trim and a slick 6-speed manual. But SUVs are where the big money is at right now. Some men like to pretend that their wives won't let them buy a sports car, even though they secretly want an...
Despite a shrinking midsize sedan market, Kia and Hyundai are investing a lot of resources here. We've already seen the boldly designed new Sonata during last month's New York Auto Show, but it will soon be followed up by a 2021 Optima. A new K5/Optima is in the advanced stages of...
If you take a look at the NSX on the Acura website, the mid-engine supercar with three electric motors and a twin-turbo V6 retails at $157,500 plus $1,800 for the destination charge. But a bare-bones NSX starts at $139,300 if you’re lucky enough to qualify for the $20,000 discount that Acura...
Following the hatchback, it was a matter of time until Ford of Europe came up with the sports tourer. The Focus ST Wagon is a bit heavier than the hatchback, hence the sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes a bit longer. Priced in the United Kingdom from £30,595 on-the-road, the EcoBlue turbo...
Opel has been working for a really long time on a mid-life refresh for the Astra. This is one of the rare occasions where our spies provide us with photos of the wagon version, not the usual hatchback. The big-bodied version of the Astra K came out in 2015 and hasn't really done anything...
British marque Bentley is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and to properly mark the occasion a new generation of the Continental Flying Spur will be shown by the end of the year. Until that moment, teasers with the new car are being released on a monthly basis now. Last month Bentley...
James May recently argued that it's no longer important to know how to drive a manual, and Hyundai seems to agree. As fewer and fewer of its customers were ordering one, the Korean automaker dropped it from the 2020 Elantra lineup. So you can say goodbye to the manual. Auto journalists will...
Priced at 30,995 pounds sterling, the Levorg now comes with a 2.0-liter boxer in the United Kingdom. The engine produces 147 horsepower and 198 Nm of torque, and the Lineartronic CVT complements the Active Torque Split all-wheel-drive system as standard. Arriving at UK dealerships on July 1st, the...
Volkswagen continues the long teasing process leading up to the official debut of the Golf 8 in October. This time, we get a couple of official sketches revealing many design changes. We're going to start with the interior, as this seems like the most radical departure. The sketch reveals...
