Bugatti

The next generation Bugatti has been designed, but we’ll have to wait until 2024 to see it in action.

While the Chiron will no longer be manufactured, its successor will usher in a new era for Bugatti’s line of high-performance vehicles. This upcoming hypercar is a continuation of its legendary forerunner, though it does away with the quad-turbocharged W-16…

5 Most Radical Corvette

Some of GM’s finest experimental automobiles were Corvette concepts that paved the way for the production version of the legendary sports car.

A Corvette concept served as inspiration for that model. Concept cars are a huge investment for automakers. These prototypes act as a spark for the company, so they’re willing to put in the extra effort. These concept vehicles show where an…

EV

The Bolt EV was interestingly retired recently, before being announced for a return relatively quickly. Why the about-face from Chevrolet? The Chevrolet Bolt, released in 2017, revolutionized the electric vehicle market by being the first mass-produced, low-cost, long-range EV. The BEV2 platform-based vehicle is essentially the successor to the hybrid Volt in Chevrolet’s lineup. After only one generation of sales and generally satisfied customers, the automaker announced in April that the vehicle would be discontinued. In 2021, the Bolt’s batteries were recalled, but the car still managed to recover because…

1982 Ferrari 400i Is Today's Bring a Trailer Auction Pick

The 1988 movie “Rain Man,” famous for featuring a chrome-covered 1949 Buick Roadmaster prominently, also includes some impressive machinery in its opening credits.

Lightning Lap 2023 America's Toughest Track's Hottest Cars

When it comes to car evaluation, no single metric sums up vehicle dynamics better than a lap time. No other test combines cornering, acceleration, and braking while also revealing information about at-the-limit behavior. And no North American track provides the variety and challenges that Virginia International Raceway’s 4.1-mile Grand Course does, which is why Lightning Lap has been held here since 2006. This year’s lineup resembles that of the first event, when we ran a Corvette Z06 but not one with a mid-engine 670-hp V-8. The first roster included a…

Our 2023 Subaru BRZ made it through its first winter.

Our long-term test vehicles face challenging conditions in Michigan, with wildlife encounters, poorly maintained roads, and harsh weather posing real threats. Fortunately, our 2023 Subaru BRZ survived its first winter remarkably well, and we have no major issues to report. The credit for its success goes mainly to the appropriate winter tires we equipped it with. Last fall, we swapped out the original-equipment Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires for narrower 205/55R-16 Michelin X-Ice Snow tires mounted on 16-inch steel wheels, a purchase costing us $1226 from TireRack. Besides protecting…
