If opulent SUV exclusiveness is your thing, and you have $875,500 sitting in your bank account, we’ve got the perfect vehicle for you. We are speaking of the Brabus G V12 900 “ONE OF TEN.” This twin-turbo, V12 equipped G-Wagen stole the spotlight in Frankfurt recently, fifteen years after the first version was revealed at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show.

Ferrari fans looking for the next V8-powered convertible will be happy to hear that there’s now an open-top variant of the prancing horse’s F8 Tributo berlinetta, the recent successor to the 488. The F8 Spider has a retractable hard top, which stores elegantly above the mid-rear engine compartment under an aerodynamic flying buttress shell.

If you’re of the mindset that electric cars are just heavy and fast in a straight line, Porsche wants to change your mind with the 2020 Taycan, a high-end sedan designed for performance. While Porsche plans to release a full line of Taycans, they’re starting out with the high-end models, the $150,900 Taycan Turbo and the $185,000 Taycan Turbo S.

Do you like the non-reflective look of matte finish cars? Well, BMW has gone and given one car the ultimate matte finish paintjob – using an extremely light absorptive paint made by Surrey NanoSystems called Vantablack VBx2.

The Audi RS 6 Avant has long been an object of desire for many automotive fans. The tricked-out powerwagon has been around for two decades in various flavors, and never made its way to the good old U.S.

It’s already close to impossible to afford a Bugatti Chiron, with its astronomical base price just South of $3 million, but now there’s a Bugatti valued at nearly $9 million. The Bugatti Centodieci, pronounced “chento-dee-echi,” is based on the Chiron, but its design is inspired by the Bugatti EB 110, a truly innovative supercar from the 1990s.

Lexus is showing off a very special, limited edition of its already gorgeous and powerful LC 500 luxury sports coupe. The Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series is decked out in a color reminiscent of the classic British Racing Green, dubbed Nori Green.

As momentum continues to shift more and more towards SUVs here in North America, it seems as if every major automaker wants to flesh out its lineup with an SUV at every size class. Last year, Cadillac took care of the compact crossover market with the release of the XT4, and now it’s created a 3-Row model to serve as a bookend for the popular XT5.

The Jaguar F-TYPE is one of the most beautiful vehicles to be designed in the last decade. In fact, I love it so much that I bought one for myself a few years back. I’ve always wanted to visit the Jaguar factory to see how these cars are made, but haven’t been presented with the chance.

It was only a couple of weeks back that I got to spend sometime behind the wheel of the Kia Telluride, and I thought it was a very good vehicle indeed. Now that I’ve driven its Hyundai cousin, the Palisade, it’s clear the Koreans have a winning platform on their hands.

You might think that the Lexus GX is just another luxury grocery getter, but you’d be wrong. It’s actually a very capable off-roader, thanks in large part to being based on the same platform as Toyota’s rugged 4Runner, with its body-on-frame construction, two-speed transfer case, and locking rear diff.

When I received an invitation from Lexus to take a road trip down the Northern California coast to watch the 2019 U.S. Open, the golf geek in me was truly excited. But then came the icing on the cake – about halfway through the trip, I was going to spend a day at Laguna Seca – one of the nation’s greatest racing circuits; and I’d get to learn the course in Lexus’ most powerful and impressive performance cars, the GS F, the LC 500, and the RC F Track Edition.

Over the years, many automakers have taken aim at sport luxury brands BMW and Mercedes-Benz to see if they could knock one of these long-reigning champs off of their pedestal. Just as many have failed to do so.

De Tomaso was one of the great boutique automakers of the 1960s and 1970s, cranking out sleek and powerful wheeled objects of desire like the Pantera and Mangusta. The company went dormant for quite some time, and has changed hands along the way.

When first presented with the option of driving the Lexus LC 500 for a week, I damn near broke out in song. In recent years, Japanese luxury automaker Lexus has gone to great lengths in order to distance itself from the longstanding impression that it only makes boring automobiles.
