Retro styling with a manual gearbox? Yes please.

The next iteration of Nissan’s long-running Z sports car will debut in concept form in two weeks.

For the first time in M3 history, a Touring model will join the lineup.

Hyundai is widening the appeal of its little hot hatch by offering both manual and automatic transmissions.

In a way, Porsche’s latest high-tech 911 is very old school.

One year in and the mid-engined Corvette gets useful detail changes for the same price as 2020.

Porsche’s entry-level sports cars kick off at $61,250 and $63,350 for hard- and soft-top models, respectively. New standard kit joins the lineup, and six-cylinder models get an optional PDK transmission.

New Supra 2.0 four-cylinder makes 255 hp. The 3.0 gets an almost 50 hp power bump over the previous model. 

Update: Half the year is now done and though 2020 hasn’t been the ideal year so far, there is still hope on the horizon for people expecting some new and exciting cars and SUVs

Lexus announces 2021 IS just days after Acura pulled the wraps off the 2021 TLX. The two will lock horns in a re-surging performance sedan segment. 

Ford has announced that it will be bringing the Mustang Mach 1 back after a hiatus of 17 years.

Nissan has finally officially teased the next-generation Z-car, likely to be called 400Z.

Nobody can accuse Honda of being subtle in styling its halo hot hatch.

Porsche has taken the wraps off its new 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 and 4S twins.

Toyota USA has given its clearest hint yet that a hot hatch will come Stateside… it just won’t be the GR Yaris.

There are few sports cars that are as recognizable as Nissan’s Z series of cars. Right from the 240 to the current 370Z, you simply cannot mistake that shape for anything else.

Porsche has announced a round of small changes to its iconic 911 sports car for the 2021 model year.

A recent interview with Porsche R&D head confirms the Taycan lineup will extend downmarket.

Hyundai has dropped photos of the latest Veloster N, which adds a dual-clutch transmission option to one of our favorite hot hatches.

Hyundai’s N performance division has confirmed an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission is coming soon to its fun-loving Veloster N.

It’s a big win for Kia’s biggest vehicle; Soul EV picks up award too, alongside two wins for Porsche and one for Mazda.

Whoops. An alleged slide from a recent Toyota dealer conference has leaked, revealing everything from new sports cars to hybrid trucks and minivans.

What do you do when you make a car that does sub-three-second 0-60 mph pulls and has over 600 hp? Simple, you add 60 hp and 37 lb-ft of torque to make it even quicker. That’s the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S for you.

I well remember being in a massive throng of car journalists on media preview day at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2013 for the reveal of the seventh generation (C7) Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. A next-generation reveal for an icon like the ‘Vette is a big deal, and it was the talk of the show.
At any rate, in the aftermath of the unveil I remember hearing and reading a lot about the dramatic (!) switch to rectangular taillights and a front grille and headlight array that looked like it had drawn a bit too much inspiration from Ferrari. The audacity! Having returned from Las Vegas where I sampled the all-new eighth-generation (C8) Corvette Stingray, a car that introduces changes that makes handwringing over square taillights and Ferrari-ish grilles seem quaint, I’m struck by how much the general consensus around this car has evolved. Just about everything I’ve heard is positive.

Bad news for the 2,884 Americans who bought Supras in 2019 (and the 252 Canadians): Toyota is giving it a substantial update for the 2021 model year.

Ford went in a different direction for the traditionally truck-heavy Chicago Auto Show, instead showing off its low-slung GT supercar in updated 2020 form.

Porsche has stuck to the old “no replacement for displacement” script with its latest evolution of the 718 Cayman and Boxster, the 394 hp GTS 4.0.

Evolution, not revolution. That was the name of the game for Honda as it unveiled the updated version of its mad hot hatch, the Civic Type R, at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

We’ve uncovered another Ferrari patent. It’s not a joystick this time, but it’s something similar to what we’ve seen in F1: a central pillar ahead of the cockpit.

Electric vehicles are on the rise. According to data from J.D. Power, EVs actually outsold manual transmission-equipped cars for the first time in Q3 2019. And while that’s as much a comment on manual’s slipping popularity as on the market’s growing appetite for EVs, it’s nonetheless true that battery-powered cars are on track to represent an ever greater share of new vehicle sales over the coming years.

Meet the final evolution of the current (and much-loved) BMW M2: the CS.

Although the 1 is an extremely comely car, it is also a vaguely disappointing one. The quality of its materials, the ethos of its design, and the nature of its power delivery fail to live up to the promise made by its exterior. And although there’s nothing exactly wrong with the 1, it’s just that there isn’t anything exceedingly special about it either.

Ferrari has a completely different take on how owners can drive its sports cars, at least judging by a new patent application.

These 2019s are some of our favorite-looking machines.

Kleiner GTI, du siehst prima aus…

Unquestionably, the automotive industry is one of the most dynamic in the world. New vehicles are constantly under development by manufacturers.

The history of the Chevrolet Corvette is inextricably linked with top-down motoring.

“This is good,” I thought to myself about two minutes after swapping seats with my drive partner and settling in behind the wheel. “This is extremely good.”

It’s taken a lot of effort for Porsche to develop its first all-electric model. And so it’s showing off what the engineers have accomplished. Slowly. In a trickle. Over many days. The latest is another feat of racecraft. The Taycan has now set a record for fastest four-door EV on the Nurburgring.

When Volvo announced that it would spin Polestar off into its own sub-brand, the Volvo faithful worried that it might mean no more Polestar versions of Volvos. Fortunately, Volvo has cleverly, if somewhat confusingly, sidestepped that problem by changing the name of its hotter cars to “Polestar Engineered.”

When Chevrolet unveiled the C8 Corvette last night, there were a lot of surprises, but the two biggest ones were the 0-60 MPH time and the price. Considered together, Chevrolet’s promise that the C8 will start below $60,000 and hit 60 mph in less than 3 seconds is wildly impressive.

Chevrolet has finally taken the veil off its first production mid-engine Corvette. At an event held in southern California, Chevrolet revealed that the C8’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 would make 495 HP and 470 lb-ft of torque (when fitted with the performance exhaust) and that it would hit 60 mph in less than 3 seconds with the Z51 package.

There’s one in every crowd.

Got a litter of kiddies and can’t figure out what vehicle to buy? We’ve some recommendations for you!

The Mustang is the heart and soul of the Ford brand, even if the automaker plans to dump all of its cars and sedans for crossovers and SUVs. The Mustang is a car with legacy, and Ford is pulling all the stops for the latest model.

Want to spin some wrenches, get a little grease under those fingernails? If so, here are 10 of the best new vehicles to modify.

It appears Honda has filed a patent for yet another stylish electric vehicle.

Ford has finally announced the horsepower figures for the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500. More than a year after the car was first announced. And when they said before that it would be more than 700, they weren’t kidding. It absolutely smashes that figure. Along with just about everybody else.

Either in response to customer demand or as part of its plan all along, Porsche is introducing a new 4.0-liter 6-cylinder engine for top-tier 718 models. Mercifully, these will be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard in either the Spyder and Cayman GT4.

The Supra name isn’t supposed to be taken lightly — it’s supposed to be the flagship Toyota performance machine. Yet for many on the outside looking in, it seems like the Japanese automaker has outsourced its sports car to BMW. Yes, the Supra was co-developed with the BMW Z4, and it utilizes mostly BMW parts, including one of the most important parts of all, the engine.

The new 2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS has been refreshed with a new grille to address concerns that the muscle car was just too ugly.

Kia’s sexy Stinger blurs the lines between sedan and station wagon, brandishing athletic design, riotous dynamics and an upscale interior. Giving enthusiasts even more of what they love, the automaker will offer an enhanced model starting this spring.

As far as sports cars go, the Porsche 911 is up there as one of the most important and iconic in the world.
