We were misinformed: previous sightings of what was thought to be the upcoming Audi RS7 Avant (and replacing the existing combustion-powered RS6 Avant as even-numbered Audi cars go electric) have turned out to be of the future Audi A7 allroad. In hindsight, it's pretty obvious that the bulbous arches are not temporary placeholders before more aggressive fenders are tried on, and that point is only highlighted further by sightings of the actual Audi RS7, caught testing near the Nürburgring. With these new images, we can all rest easy knowing that the design department of the RS division has not gone soft, modernizing trademark styling elements for the new era. This is probably not the time or place to discuss an opinion of the G90 BMW M5, but this writer believes Munich could have done more to improve its new super sedan's sex appeal. Still, the M5 has its USPs, and we look forward to seeing its Touring variant compete with Ingolstadt's new beast on US soil.

Audi RS6 Replacement Won't Make The Same Mistake As The BMW M5

BMW sure does act fast. Just over a month after the new M5 was unveiled, the US configurator for the super sedan has gone live. This means American customers (or anyone dreaming of owning an M5) can now configure their dream specification. But how expensive can things get with options? Let's cosplay as a wealthy car buyer and find out.

Having been launched back in 2015, the Audi A4 was in dire need of a replacement. The all-new model is finally out, and it goes by another name. The A5 Sedan and A5 Avant replace the old A4-badged models and come along with spicy S5 performance versions. However, we should clarify the A5/S5 Sedan is not a sedan in the truest sense of the word. It has a more practical tailgate instead of the traditional trunk lid. In other words, it’s effectively a replacement for the old A5 Sportback.

BMW is heading toward a design revolution with its future EVs. We got a preview of that last year with the clean and angular BMW Vision Neue Klasse sedan. Earlier this year, the Vision Neue Klasse X SUV joined the party. Now, spy photos of a new coupe have surfaced—but this is something different. This doesn't look like a concept car.

BMW Neue Klasse Coupe: Everything We Know

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

The Highest Horsepower V6 Engine Available In 2024

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

Full-size luxury convertibles are scarce in today's automotive landscape, but Cadillac may be reviving the segment with the gorgeous Sollei, an all-electric concept that celebrates the automaker's legacy of high-end convertibles. Cadillac says the design pushes the envelope of "future bespoke commissions," which suggests the Sollei may make it to production - perhaps as a bespoke Spectre rival built in limited numbers. Sollei is a portmanteau of sun (Sol) and leisure (Lei), which is what this vehicle is all about.
