Porsche’s New Cruise Control Can Corner at 0.7 Gs

Porsche’s New Cruise Control Can Corner at 0.7 Gs
Cruise control is very nice to have on a long drive, but it’s never been an exciting feature. When it can corner and stay in a lane, turning into a sort of highway autopilot, it will be exciting in that it will make long trips less stressful.…

Kahn Design Flying Huntsman 105 Pickup

Kahn Design Flying Huntsman 105 Pickup
The latest member of Kahn Design’s Flying Huntsman Land Rover Defender line is certainly an odd one. As is the series’ trademark, the 105 Pick Up has a 15″ longer wheelbase and 16″ longer bonnet than a stock Defender, but the snout is even more pronounced here because it’s visibly larger than the truck bed.…

Aston Martin Planning a Ton of New Models

Aston Martin Planning a Ton of New Models
Aston Martin is one of my favorite car companies. It’s a company that produces performance cars that double as art pieces, and for that I am eternally grateful (a free Vanquish would make me really, really grateful, however).…

It’s Aston Martin vs. Jaguar in James Bond’s SPECTRE

It’s Aston Martin vs. Jaguar in James Bond’s SPECTRE
If there’s one thing you can always count on James Bond movies for, it’s amazing cars and the car chases that ensue. While 007 had a propensity for old Bentley flatheads in Ian Fleming’s novels, Bond’s car of choice for many of his films have come in the form of Aston Martin DB5s (and the occasional Lotus Esprit submarine.)…

Scion Tweaks FR-S for 2016, Announces Pricing
