When people think of luxury car marques, it’s names like Rolls-Royce and Bentley that spring to mind. Perhaps Ferrari, Aston Martin or Lamborghini too. In Europe at least, Maybach rarely gets a seat at the same table. Yet both its heritage and its product place it firmly in the top tier of automotive prestige. The […]
The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is Britain’s answer to the Ferrari 12Cilindri. A rare blend of elegance and drama, it combines old-world glamour with brutal modern force. When the 835PS twin-turbo V12 clears its throat, the experience borders on the divine. Some things never go out of style. A Hermès Birkin. An Omega Speedmaster. And […]
1. Meet the 907-HP Hybrid That Replaces the Huracán Lamborghini’s new Temerario (Italian for “the daring one”) is the second model in Sant’Agata’s High-Performance Electrified Vehicle line-up. Under its scalpel-sharp bodywork sits an all-new, flat-plane, twin-turbo 4.0-litre V-8 and three axial-flux electric motors for a combined 907 hp (920 CV) and 538 lb-ft of torque. […]
Traditional motor shows in the UK are a thing of the past. Instead of wandering grey exhibition halls in Birmingham or London, enthusiasts now flock to the Duke of Richmond’s grand garden party. The Festival of Speed has long replaced the conventional auto show, with the struggling British car industry celebrating itself – and thousands […]
There is no vehicle more distinctly American than a pickup truck. While the European continent was busy breaking speed records and founding around-the-clock endurance races, Americans were busy enlarging cargo beds to accept larger sheets of plywood and beefing up suspension leaf springs to handle 30 cubic foot bags of topsoil. Born to traverse the […]
The Corvette has long been America’s answer to the European sports car. With the new E-Ray, it now takes on hybrid power—and rivals like the Porsche 911 GTS E-Hybrid—head-on. I drove the new electrified ‘Vette at the 2025 German Car of the Year test, where its performance, usability and unique hybrid layout left a lasting […]
The numeral seven, in the ancient world, symbolized completion…perfection. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Nissan Z is in it’s 7th generation and it’s pretty close to perfection. Of course having been re-imagined 7 times over the last 56 years, there’s been a lot of time to get things right and it’s obvious that Nissan has been […]
Before Mercedes officially used the S-Class name, the W108 and W109 models were already setting the standard for prestige and innovation—especially in Germany. These 1960s saloons still impress today with their refined design and remarkable engineering. Though the S-Class label formally arrived with the W116 in 1972, the W108 series had already defined what top-tier […]
The world of ultra-luxury SUVs operates in a near-closed loop—led by the Range Rover, Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga. With the updated Bentayga Speed, Bentley has refined its flagship to a level that rivals will find hard to match—even without the aid of electrification. There’s no denying the Bentley Bentayga is no longer fresh-faced. Despite […]
Aston Martin has teamed up with Apple to become the first carmaker to bring CarPlay Ultra to market. In daily use, Apple’s system proves intuitive, but not without flaws. Apple knows how to do marketing. A software or hardware update isn’t simply “new” or “next-gen”—that’s far too pedestrian for the team in Cupertino. “Ultra” sounds […]
