Luxury : Car News And Reviews

Frankly, I think the BMW M2 was pretty close to perfect from the minute it first turned up in 2015. But that certainly didn’t stop BMW from trying to improve upon it by giving it more power and reducing weight.

The Jaguar I-PACE is a pretty amazing vehicle, with great driving dynamics, speedy launches, a slick, modern design, and a capacious and luxurious interior. But with any battery-electric vehicle, driving range can always be a source of anxiety.

As an owner of an original 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE, I’m particularly fond of Ian Callum’s nearly perfect original design. But as time marches on, so must automotive design. For the 2021 model year, the F-TYPE gets a new face, upgraded technology, and the high-end R models even get a performance boost.

Featuring a design inspired by Bruce McLaren’s minimal 1960s racers, the McLaren Elva is a modern day roadster that is said to be the lightest production car the UK automaker has ever created. Weighing in at just 2965 lb, the $1.7 million-plus, open-top supercar packs an 804 hp turbo V8 in back that can launch it from 0 to 62 mph in less than 3 seconds, and 124 mph in 6.7 seconds, making it even faster to that mark than the Senna.

I’m the opposite of a trendsetter or even a trend-follower. Heck, I still wear flannel shirts as if Nirvana was about to top the charts again (if only). So, when I say that sporty SUVs and crossovers, are all the rage, you can rest assured that they still are in vogue.  

Among the many cars I’ve driven in the past decade, the Lexus LC 500 ranks among the top five for sure. It’s got stunning looks, handles brilliantly, and has a wonderfully satisfying V8 engine that makes lots of power and some great sounds.

When it comes to exotic cars, there are few better places in the world to spot them than in the United Arab Emirates. After all, the amount of wealth generated by their deep oil reserves is astounding. 

The Lexus RX has been the brand’s top-selling vehicle in the U.S. for quite some time. It got its start at a soft and cushy grocery getter, but over the years has become a much more enjoyable vehicle to drive, while still maintaining its luxurious styling and amenities.

British ultra-luxury automaker Bentley is back with the latest edition of its flagship executive sedan, the perfectly-posh Flying Spur. For 2020, the Flying Spur is powered a monster 6.0-liter W12 engine that produces 626 horsepower, and can launch the gargantuan sedan to a mindblowing top speed of 207 mph.

I’m here at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, meeting with Toyota and Lexus to see what sort of new vehicles they have in the works. A big focus of this year’s show is on the future of mobility, so it’s less about what cars you can buy in 2020, but where technology is headed in the years beyond.

Not too long ago, we learned that Audi’s badass RS6 Avant wagon would be coming to the US for 2020. Now, we’ve got a different variant of the station wagon heading stateside for the first time in a while.

The Nissan GT-R first came on the scene all the way back in 1969 as the Skyline GT-R. After five successive generations, and a five year hiatus from 2002 to 2007, the Skyline gave way to the GT-R, which has seen a couple of revamps, first in 2011, and again in 2017.

Looks are everything to so many people. When looking at cars, the aesthetics are what draw people in. I remember the first time I saw the BMW i8 Roadster. As journalists, we aren’t supposed to be so smitten and biased based simply on looks.

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.
