| Sales of Huge-Dollar Luxury Cars Are Through the Roof—and Still Growing |
Mar 3rd, 2015 |
|
Speaking in Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession, a 2004 documentary on early cable television, screenwriter and director Alexander Payne said, “You don’t know you’re living in a golden age when you’re in it.” That may be true for cable—a business well past its prime—but those of us who keep tabs on the automotive industry recognize how stupendous it […]

| Torq from Ork: The Wackiest Concept at Geneva? |
Mar 3rd, 2015 |
|
Back when concept cars used to be called “dream cars,” they often represented not just way-out styling but also wacky thinking. This year’s Geneva auto show has its share of concept cars, but the Torq, by the Italian engineering and design company ED, is one that ascends to the level of dream car. And a […]

| Fast and Lusso: Touring Superleggera’s F12-Based Berlinetta Lusso Is Gorgeous |
Mar 3rd, 2015 |
|
Ten years ago, Ferrari 250 Lussos were somewhat reasonably priced, perhaps even undervalued cars. Then Steve McQueen’s brown one sold for a jillion smackers. That, coupled with an overall rising tide in the sports-car collector market, especially where Ferraris and Porsches were concerned, made the Lusso a thing to have with a capital Thing. So it’s […]

| Mercedes-Benz “Concept V-ision e” Is a Cool PHEV Van With an Iffy Name |
Mar 3rd, 2015 |
|
While knowing that all eyes at the Mercedes stand would invariably be glued to the ready-to-rumble AMG GT3, Mercedes decided to bring some other stuff to Geneva, anyway.

| Audi Debuts LMS Racing Version of All-New R8, We Drool |
Mar 3rd, 2015 |
|
The all-new 2016 Audi R8 is lighter and more powerful than its predecessor—which makes it a great basis for a thoroughbred race car. The first generation of the R8, of course, has been raced all over the globe and is immensely successful and popular with the teams that run it. And its successor is almost guaranteed to […]

| Tally Bally Ho! Morgan’s New Aero 8 Goes Back to Basics |
Mar 3rd, 2015 |
|
Things change slowly at Morgan, and often not at all. Britain’s longest-established sports-car maker is now 106 years old, and many of its more successful models have barely changed for decades. But the new Aero 8, freshly unveiled at Geneva, draws its inspiration from the company’s more recent past: the Aero 8 that was launched […]
