When we saw the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge up close and personal at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we were duly impressed by its awesome iridescent paintjob and carbon fiber body accents. The car is being touted as Infiniti’s most powerful car ever, and in advance of the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show now they’ve released a recording of its forced induction engine being revved for all to hear.

With much of the Northern Hemisphere covered in snow this time of year, it’s no wonder so many of the car videos showing up on the Internet these days involve driving on ice and snow. And while it’s probably advisable that your daily winter driver is some sort of sturdy 4×4 or at least an AWD, there’s nothing quite so fun as a high torque rear wheel-drive car for slipping around if you’ve got a safe place to do it in.

We just saw the S-Class Concept Coupé at the Detroit Auto Show last month, and now we’ve got an actual vehicle headed to dealers later this year. The production model blends the the substance and size the S-Class is known for with sportiness and power.

Audi is trying a one-of-a-kind marketing technique to introduce their latest A8 sedan to their most valued customers. What they’ve been doing in some European countries is delivering a mysterious black cube to those potential buyers that, when activated by pushing a “Start/Stop” button, begins a countdown to delivery of a new A8 for a 24-hour test drive.

While Cadillac hasn’t announced an ATS convertible model at this point, it sure doesn’t seem like a bad idea. The forthcoming 2015 ATS coupe looks grand, so why shouldn’t it get a drop-top variant? Fortunately, artist Remco Meulendijk has put together a rock-solid looking rendering of what an ATS convertible just might look like, and we like what we see.

These days, we’re rarely surprised by commercials played during the Super Bowl. But Maserati just caught us completely off guard with this commercial, which not only was a total mystery for the first 110 seconds, it threw down the gauntlet against other luxury performance brands.

Ford has unveiled the new iteration of the full-size Lincoln Navigator SUV prior to its debut at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show. Lincoln has given the Navigator a facelift for 2015, bringing over some of its updated styling cues from its other vehicles.

Audi has announced the most exclusive model of its luxury A8 touring sedan line, the A8 L Security. Available in either a 4.0 liter V8 TFSI or Audi’s 12-cylinder 6.3 liter W12 FSI under the hood, the A8 L Security matches the performance of Audi’s production versions of the A8.

The new S-Class is already a beautiful, elegant and powerful car, but for those of us who prefer something a bit less hefty, this two-door S-Class Coupe concept looks even better. We had a chance to check out the S-Class Coupe Concept up close and personal at the 2014 NAIAS in Detroit, and it’s quite a stunner.

Infiniti showed off the breathtakingly beautiful Q50 Eau Rouge Concept at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The vehicle is Infiniti’s concept of a high-performance version of its Q50 sports sedan showcasing Infiniti’s vision for future designs, including more dramatic aerodynamics influenced by Infiniti’s Formula 1 vehicles and complex carbon fiber composite bodywork.

Bentley’s new Continental “S” models hit U.S. shores at this week’s 2014 NAIAS in Detroit. Available in both coupe and convertible variants, each model has received an updated 4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 521hp, capable of producing 502 lb-ft.

Rolls-Royce Germany has announced a new V-Spec limited edition version of the Ghost. With an upgraded engine and exclusive design details, the V-Spec takes the four-door Ghost closer to the performance of the Rolls-Royce Wraith.

The 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet is a beautiful two-door convertible that takes the styling of the A5/S5 line in a more aggressive direction and puts a meaner, quicker drivetrain between the body and the road. The RS5’s lines are sure to turn heads on the road if the throaty exhaust hasn’t already caught a passerby’s attention, but the RS5 doesn’t flaunt its capabilities.

When the roads are covered with snow and ice, do your thoughts turn to “time to get my $200,000 Bentley out of the garage and go for a spin?” If so, then the Bentley “Power on Ice” winter driving experience is for you.
