VW has filed a trademark application with the European Intellectual Property Office to reserve the name ‘FighteR’ for use on automobiles.

The  Mercedes-AMG GT R is now available with a soft top – but don’t be mistaken, this track-ready sports car is still every bit as hardcore as the coupe.

Volkswagen has taken the wraps off its latest retro electric concept and this one takes its cues from the Meyers Manx. Named the I.D. BUGGY for obvious reasons, the concept comes sans roof with waterproof upholstery, and with 200 hp going to the back wheels.

Making its international debut in Geneva today is the new Mercedes GLC 300, which is the brand’s most popular vehicle in the USA.

The turbocharged inline-six and 48V motor make 429 and 384 lb-ft of torque in the SUV, where the engine is paired with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission. This setup will propel the SUV from 0-60 mph in just 5.2s and on to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

Suffer for fashion. It’s the aphorism that sees bloody feet stuffed into pointy heels, girdles, and corsets wrapped around protesting waistlines, and crossover roofs slimmed down to the point where they resemble the thorax of a particularly bulky wasp.

Volkswagen will debut a one-off electric dune buggy at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

In the quest to find a new car, there are a lot of questions that need to be asked. Questions about cargo room, technology, options, luxuries and other various elements will come up more than a few times while shopping for a new car. However, from the car driver’s perspective, there are just three main questions: 

How comfortable is the driving experience? 
How fun is it to drive? 
How good is the car on fuel?

A major factor in answering those three questions has to do with the right transmission. Let’s face it, manual transmissions aren’t for everyone. They require familiarity and a level of perfection to get just right. With a traditional automatic transmission, drivers have been able to experience a fairly comfortable, yet less engaging experience. Still, an automatic transmission can leave any driving enthusiast unsatisfied. Luckily, progress has been made in the world of automatic transmissions that can help alleviate those woes.

With 23 more horsepower, a wider track, and a top that can drop in 12 seconds flat, the new 911 Cabriolet is faster, wider, and smoother.

The New Year is quickly approaching, which means its time to count down some of the best and worst new vehicles of the year.

The high-performance version of the upcoming Porsche Taycan electric sedan will be called the Taycan Turbo, it has been revealed.

It should come as no surprise that a nearly $150,000 flagship luxury sedan is a bit of an exotic, and unrelatable. Every day in the Alpina B7 was a rollercoaster of emotions and opinions. The first day was full of excitement and interest but on the last day, I was left a bit confused and isolated.

Type 7 does sound like it would be pretty neat, though, don’t you think?

The range-topping Life 60 has a 23.9 kWh battery, an 80 hp motor and a driving range 184 km.

The  BMW M5 gives you so much to talk about, from its slick executive design to the fancy all-wheel-drive system to the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 that makes 600 horsepower. But what might matter more than any of that is whether the car comes together cohesively with its own personality.

Volkswagen has released images of its upcoming, brand-reinventing electric hatchback. These are the first shots of a non-concept I.D.

The BMW 3 Series is the sports sedan that supported a whole brand and launched an entire market segment, with countless of other automakers chasing that perfect blend of luxury and fun that the 3 always managed to perfect.

Fresh off a trademarking spree last week, Volkswagen is again calling dibs on a name relating to electric vehicles. The latest is “Elli” with a stylized lightning bolt next to it (pictured below).

Supercars are like David Copperfield or David Blaine. They’re the cars that people expect a certain flair from. See them, drive them, and come away impressed that something can be so… fantastic. They’re also masters of misdirection and stardom.

If you were excited by the idea of Audi’s R8 supercar getting a V6 engine, well then we’re not really sure what’s wrong with you. But we’ve got bad news. Turns out that the V6 R8 isn’t happening.

With 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, the 2020 BMW M340i and M340i xDrive are the most powerful 3 Series models (that aren’t M3s) ever.

Volkswagen went on a trademarking tear this week, reserving nine names that could apply to motorized vehicles with European Union Intellectual Property Office. The names are  I.D. 1, through  I.D. 9 and will likely apply to the brand’s suite of upcoming electric vehicles.
