From June 20th to the 21st in 1959, the DBR1 lapped the Circuit de la Sarthe 323 times. David Brown Racing took the overall win at Le Mans that year with the help of Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby, cementing the motorsport heritage of Aston Martin. Enter the DBS 59, a limited-edition model that...
Regardless of output, the SkyActiv-D 2.2 is one of the better turbo diesels out there. In applications such as the CX-5, the four-cylinder engine combines fuel economy with low-end torque, but Mazda has bigger plans with the twin-turbo version in the United States. Over in Europe, we’ve...
For an additional $24,510 over MSRP, the 911 Speedster can be optioned with the Heritage Design Package. Inspired by the 356 Speedster, the trim package combines gold Speedster badges with the classic Porsche crests, black brake calipers with the white Porsche script, silver wheels, and a two-tone...
Limited to 800 examples of the breed and featuring a starting price of $44,000 for the rear-wheel-drive variant, the Stinger GTS is the most gung-ho Kia on sale these days. The $46,500 model with Dynamic AWD appears to be even better, more so because D-AWD comes with a Drift Mode that “sends...
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia, two of the company's three models available on the American market, got pumped up this week with the unveiling of the Quadrifoglio NRING limited edition at the 2019 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). In Quadrifoglio guise, the Stelvio SUV...
We think Hyundai deserves a pat on the back after seeing the all-new 2020 Sonata at the New York Auto Show. Those headlights are not a safe statement to make, but the midsize sedan segment needed a bit of crazy. Hyundai calls this its “Sensuous Sportiness” design language, and some of...
Volkswagen almost never makes a concept car that it doesn't want to put into production. But that doesn't mean the Tarok pickup is going to be sold in America just because it's being shown today the 2019 New York Auto Show. Last year at the very same show, VW presented the Tanoak...
Jaguar Land Rover has two major debuts happening at this year's New York Auto Show, the mid-life facelift for the Jaguar XE compact executive sedan and a super-fast and classy Range Rover, the Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition. The Jaguar XE may not be the most successful sedan ever made,...
Just Subaru prophets foretold, an all-new 2020 Outback made its debut today at the New York Auto Show. The model continues to be the perfect antidote to the SUV, yet somehow manages to look both more like a sporty wagon and a rugged outdoorsman. The Outback remains closely related to the Legacy...
How many years has it been since Mazda promised to bring the SkyActiv-D 2.2 to the United States? Too many by our count, but at long last, the CX-5 debuts the four-cylinder turbo diesel at the 2019 New York Auto Show. Apart from the SkyActiv-D badge on the tailgate, there’s no way of telling...
Like Audi and Tesla, Mercedes-Benz has an electric crossover too. EQC deliveries may be scheduled for June 2019 for Europe, but Daimler AG is already looking forward to the future and the U.S. with special editions such as the 1886. “What’s 1886?” Karl Benz completed the Benz...
In the beginning, the Discovery I wasn’t too much of a luxury SUV. But the body-on-frame construction translates to supreme off-road capability, and Land Rover is much obliged to carry the torch for years to come. 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the Discovery, and what better way to...
In production since December 2007, the GT-R is one of the oldest performance vehicles on sale these days. But the GT-R nameplate goes a long way back. The three-letter badge was introduced five decades ago, and to celebrate the golden anniversary, the GT-R got even more special for the 2019 New...
Even though the heavy-duty segment is busier than ever before, Ram continues to lead in terms of styling, luxury, and technology. The Fiat Chrysler-owned truck manufacturer doesn’t shy away from special editions either, and for this edition of the New York Auto Show, the Kentucky Derby Edition is...
TDI may be dirty, but it's still more frugal than its gasoline-burning counterpart. Which means Audi has no choice but to fit some of its performance cars with diesel engines. The latest "victim" is the 2019 Audi S5, like we suggested would happen about a month ago. Both the S5...
