We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

A few years ago, Marc Philipp Gemballa, son of the late Uwe Gemballa, announced the highly limited Marsien, a Porsche 911-based supercar that has been designed for use both on- and off-road. Now, the marque has announced that production of the Marsien is well underway, with all 40 units already spoken for. It's worth noting that the Marsien and Marc Philipp Gemballa are not associated with the Gemballa tuning house founded by Marc Philipp's father.

The Coolest Porsche That's Not A Porsche Is Finally Heading To Production

Porsche didn’t invent the word “Speedster” as it existed in the pre-war American motor car lexicon, well before Porsche existed. At this point, however, Porsche has pretty much owned the term since the 1950s after importer Max Hoffman slapped the name on a lightweight motorsport-oriented open-top 356 variant. After the 356 Speedster ended production, there wasn’t another Porsche Speedster until the 911 Speedster in 1989. The 964 generation got a Speedster variant, but it was absent from the 993 generation, except for a single prototype built in 1995 for Ferdinand “F.A.” Porsche’s 60th birthday.

Pickup trucks have evolved from rugged workhorses to luxurious, high-tech machines, with prices that reflect their transformation. Today, only three pickup trucks in America remain priced under $30,000, a sharp contrast to just a decade ago when you could easily find a well-equipped model for the same amount. What was once the domain of affordable utility vehicles has become a market teeming with premium models that can easily surpass the $100,000 mark.

If the year you were born in starts with a '1', then you know just how epic the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) is - or rather was. The show that first opened its doors to the world in 1905 became a staple on the auto show calendar and, for the last four decades, has been the show for big reveals. In my dozen or so years in the motor writing trade, Geneva was always the biggest and best of any car show, guaranteed to play host to epic concepts and physics-bending supercar and hypercar reveals.

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a monster just ready to terrorize the European elite. It's a mid-engined American supercar with 1,064 horsepower from a twin-turbo 5.5-liter flat-plane V8 engine, and it's capable of a sub-10-second quarter mile. The first units haven't even hit the road yet, but already, John Hennessey is scheming about how to get even more power from America's wildest Corvette ever.

By and large, the automotive industry has gravitated toward touchscreens and away from buttons and knobs for several reasons, chief of which is cost. Touchscreens are now cheaper to produce and individualize using software than ever before, making the decision to move away from designing and building the various components that make up a button or knob mechanism much easier.

Ahead of the official start of the prestigious and eventful Monterey Car Week, restomod manufacturer Eccentrica has prepared its first running and driving example of its self-titled Lamborghini Diablo recreation. With a 60-degree naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V12 engine and a specially developed Capristo exhaust, this is a car that will sound as good as it looks when it wows crowds on the shores of Pebble Beach over the coming days. The first of a 19-unit run, this is just a myopic look at the vast selection of customization options available to buyers, and we can thank the company's founder for this tasteful spec, as it's his personal example. Bravo, Signore Colombini, bravo.

W8 engine cars never caught on. In fact, "cars" isn't the right word because only one ever reached mass production. The Volkswagen Passat W8 is a truly one-of-a-kind car, as no other production vehicle has ever packed eight cylinders in a W formation. The reason why VW made it is even more interesting and relates to the most successful 12-cylinder in history, which was recently killed off. Here's what you need to know about one of Volkswagen's weirdest models.

This Volkswagen Was The Only Production Car To Ever Feature This Engine Configuration

There’s almost nothing better in life than shifting gears as you drive down a tight canyon road or make your way through the turns on a racetrack. The feeling of working the clutch and shifter as the engine reaches the redline in every gear is intoxicating, especially if you happen to be driving a fun sports car or sedan. Unfortunately, the manual transmission seems to be going the way of the dodo bird, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes extinct in the next decade.
