Why Volkswagen, why'd you have to chicken out? You put all that work into the Tiguan R with the RS3 engine and now you're doing a simple 2.0 TSI instead? There's no point in living anymore. We've tracked down a post we made in 2016 when the Tiguan R was first filmed on track...
Land Rover is currently in a bad spot, so much so that owners Tata are rumored to be selling the brand to the French conglomerate that already gobbled up Opel/Vauxhall. But in the meantime, the company has three big projects meant to rejuvenate sales, the Evoque, new Defender and this, the heavily...
Audi is not the only company that should be associated with retro performance wagons. More than 20 years ago Volvo came out with a boxy, very practical sleeper called the 850 T-5R. You could buy it in black or grey, but most youngsters lusted after the banana yellow paint. And we think somebody...
If you're a fan of Top Gear presenter Chris Harris, you'll know he's loyal to a fault when it comes to certain car brands, and this includes AMG. So when a video review of an S63 Coupe came out, we knew it wasn't something random or gratuitous. In his words, the 2-door version...
We keep talking about how downsizing has ruined the modern performance car, forgetting that the German automakers invested billions into the development of the current batch of uber-V8 engines. Perhaps this drag race video will prove once and for all that bigger isn't necessarily better. We...
The Urus is, for lack of a better definition, the Lamborghini of SUVs. It's very fast, as many drag races have proven, but it's no supercar. In fact, many of the components that make it special will also be found in this Audi RS Q8 model. Rumor has it that the Urus and Q8 were designed...
Building up the hype is all that Land Rover is capable of doing these days with the 2020 Defender. To be unveiled in the second half of the year, the off-road SUV appears to tick all the right boxes as far as Prince Harry is concerned. The two were photographed next to an athlete, and this...
Ah, the XK120! Before the E-Type entered the scene in 1961 with bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful proportions, the XK120 was the Jaguar to have if you were into British sports cars. Manufactured from 1948 to 1954 in a little over 12,000 examples of the breed, the XK120 was the second Jaguar...
Most special editions don’t require anything more than deep pockets. Ferrari is one of the few exceptions where the list of requirements is a bit longer than the financial status. But Land Rover took things one step further by launching the Range Rover Astronaut Edition by SVO. “Only...
When Porsche introduced a new 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six for the 991.2 incarnation of the 911 GT3, we knew the engine would become a key member of the lineup. Meanwhile, the unit has been adapted for the GT3 RS, as well as for the Speedster swansong. And we can expect the N/A boxer to...
If you want to be asked 'what kind of car is that?' and get unwanted attention from middle-aged men, go buy a Lotus. Seriously, Mercedes owners can just change the color of their interior lighting and get a million Instagram followers, but there's literally nothing about the sporty...
SUVs have become so luxurious and expensive that it's easy to forget they started out as rustic, agricultural even. Thankfully, Land Rover isn't giving up on the heritage of the Defender and is just a few months away from launch a 100% modern version. Gone are the noisy diesel engines...
We think the GLB-Class will be the most popular thing since French toast, but interest surrounding it is limited outside of the automotive journalist crowd. Crossover buyers are probably the laziest researchers ever. They don't seem to care about easy mods, reliability surveys, and even...
All cars are made of metal and plastic. The thing that sets a Mercedes apart from a Mitsubishi is design and complexity. The all-new S-Class sedan is getting both in spades. With all the odds stacked against it, Mercedes is doing everything to make the S-Class look fresh. And it all starts with...
Only one day has passed since Volkswagen announced the opening of the pre-booking process for the first vehicle of the ID family, the ID3, and already the number of people who registered for one has far exceeded the carmaker’s expectations. As announced on Wednesday, Volkswagen will...
