Criminally underrated and surprisingly affordable, do not be fooled, the ramped up 718 Cayman Style Edition from Porsche is anything but the 911’s underwhelming little brother. And as the luxury German automaker purrs away from its iconic internal combustion roots towards an electric future, there might never be a better time to pull the trigger. […]
No other engine on earth produces a symphony quite like a naturally aspirated Ferrari V12, from the first V12s of the late 1940s to the big-bore V12s of the 1950s and ‘60s to the 818-horsepower coupe and spider introduced in our merry month of May 2024. Friday in Miami while Scuderia Ferrari practiced for this […]
Despite torrential rain over most of the test, the Shelby GT 500 proved itself a ferocious, great-looking machine. Any ride’s a sweet ride when it’s a warm, dry summer day and the open road ahead is traffic-free. My 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 test, however, took place on a relentlessly soggy 3-day weekend, during which […]

The result is a Defender 90 with its rear seats and roof removed. In their place in a pronounced cowl made from aluminium and fitted with integrated roll hoops. The […]
Having a 2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost in the driveway is like adding an addition to your house. You’ll lounge in the Ghost’s heavenly back seat on breezy summer nights, shoes off, feet coddled on the plush rug, perhaps enjoying a meal (carefully), watching the world go by, perhaps holding hands with a loved one. You might […]
This year the brand is celebrating six decades of innovation and a new era of electrification. Sixty years ago, a relentless Kiwi engineer and race car driver had a dream: to start a Formula One racing team and build a Triple Crown-winning (Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans), race car […]
McLaren has unveiled its new supercar, the 750S. This latest mid-engine V8, rear-wheel-drive performance model replaces the exotic carmaker’s 720S, a benchmark-setting sports car in production from 2017 through the end of 2022.
