Even the greats need a reality check from time to time. Porsche had just celebrated its 60th anniversary, but increasing production costs and a high Deutschmark, paired with an ailing U.S. market and increased Japanese imports, had all but decimated the company. From 1986 to 1991, North American annual sales fell from 30,471 cars to just 4,388. Porsche was on the brink of collapse...
For automotive enthusiasts, it's not easy to find an immersive app that strays from the standard fare. Thankfully, the developers at Pyrolia Studios have an engaging treat that offers something extremely unique.
Is there any Grand Prix car more beautiful than the Lotus 49? The 1960s are widely regarded as the golden age of motorsport and F1 racing, not least of which the vehicles were blazingly fast, relied on nothing but mechanical grip, and the majority of the drivers on the grid were truly world class.
Much to the chagrin of the former championship championship squad, Red Bull has now forced itself into a corner, becoming a clear subservient in a once-lucrative partnership that it has tried so desperately to distance itself from.
Red Bull confirmed today that it will be running a “TAG” branded Renault engine for the 2016 F1 season, the first and most obvious result of the team’s new partnership with title sponsor, Tag Heuer.
The Formula 1 calendar will expand to its heaviest-ever workload for 2016, with 21 races that include a new venue for the European Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Johnnie Walker Black Label captures the essence of the early stages of motorsport in this light-hearted, true-to-form short film featuring two men, and a bet to the finish line...
In the heart of Chiba, Japan lies a shop completely oblivious to the untold eye. Operating as the workplace, and often sleeping quarters of RWB founder, Akira Nakai, its downtrodden exterior blends seamlessly with the environment around it. Hiding the automotive beauty and genius within, from the outside, it is a literal example of its owner's motto, "Rough World."
The list of automotive legends is brief, but it's in this place that Nakai san developed a concept that would put him amongst some of the greatest builders that the world – let alone Japan – will ever see...
...from the Maxima to the 350Z, 370Z, and the monstrous GT-R, each of these cars has always carried progressive styling, technology and driving character and that fits each identity perfectly. Until now, Nissan's SUV/CUV lineup seemed to miss at least one of these critical marks.
Which may be why partaking in this event was all the more important…
BMW’s esteemed tuning partner, Alpina, sure knows what it’s doing. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé is a powerhouse in and of itself; my experience with it dates back to the Coupé’s infancy as the M6 on the streets around Road Atlanta in 2013, and it’s a car I’ve been waiting to get back in touch with ever since...
Porsche stepped onto new ground when it released the Macan. Said to be the ‘SUV that handles like a sports car,’ the smaller sibling to Porsche’s lone Cayenne SUV intended on bridging the gap between car and truck – not an easy task when you’re rated as highly as the Stuttgart manufacturer is...
Just as a stock is the base to a chef, the Audi R8 is to the automotive connoisseurs at ReinART.Design.
The bespoke automotive performance and styling consultancy has always had one clear objective: to stand out from the rest by working with the best. So, how do you "soup" a car that’s already filled with a grocery list of goods? The answer is vision and execution...
The 2015 Mustang has been all the rage since being officially launched in September, 2014. The bolder lines, standard selectable drive modes, all-new 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four and fully-independent rear suspension have made this the ultimate muscle car for the 21st century. Being a previous Mustang owner and having test driven the 2015 2.3-liter and, more extensively, the GT Performance Package in California late last year, I can easily vouch that this S550 is a Mustang like no other.
Up until the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, I couldn’t imagine sitting in a hotter 2015...
...It marks a changing of the guard at the company long seen as the luxury “boatmaker” of the industry; cars that had creature comforts and were fantastic for bourgeoisie businessmen, but had little to compare when it came to the likes of their sportier, agile European counterparts. The larger CTS coupe paved the way, and now the ATS coupe has refined the sleeker, bolder and sharper representation the Cadillac brand – not only in design, but driving character. It’s also the first Cadillac to carry the company’s revised, sleeker crest...
Ford’s 2015 Mustang is arguably the most anticipated car to launch in 2014. Up against steep competition with the likes of BMW’s M3 and M4, Dodge’s Hellcat, the Camaro Z/28 and even Jaguar’s F-Type R Coupe, the Mustang is boldly claiming its position in the fight for car of the year...
Everyone wants a piece of this car. It’s spreading like a virus. Just ask the lineup of photographers who caught the bug and were begging to shoot it. It’s a Godzilla, it’s a Liberty Walk. It’s the marriage of the two perfect specimens. As a Canadian car, it’s one of only two LBs, and undoubtedly the finest...
It’s almost a moot point to mention the Chevrolet Corvette has been a staple in the pages of sportscar history since its inauguration in 1953. The two-seat, front engine C1 quickly was an instant classic, the shell was entirely fiberglass — a first for a mass-production car — allowing for greater freedom in design and a lightweight advantage over the competition...
The Jaguar F-Type has been all the rage from the English manufacturer since it first hit auto show floors, and after driving the roadster in V8S trim, it's obvious why. Rather than give it the traditional review treatment, let's just cut to the chase and look at the top 10 reasons why it should be considered for your next convertible purchase.
The 228i and M235i mark the first cars to don the “2” badge since the 2002, both carrying the basic traditions of small fun that appeals to a wide audience. Speaking specifically on the M235i, the car is significantly more powerful, with a greater emphasis on performance and luxury. On further inspection, the M235i appears less of a descendant of the 2002, and more like a modern evolution of another great from BMW’s past: the E30 M3.
Eighteen years removed from his latest and most hopeful works, Franco Scaglione had sunk into obscurity. The automotive world that once exalted his designs had long forgotten about him. He had crafted some of the finest and most notable cars in history and yet, a single, happenstance article in Italy’s AutoCapital in 1993 became a final tribute before he quietly passed from lung cancer at 76...
