Well before the NSX, Honda had a beautiful wedge-shaped concept called the HP-X—the brand's first modern concept car. Designed by Pininfarina, the HP-X debuted at the 1984 Turin Motor Show and previewed a radical, ultra-aerodynamic sports car. The HP-X had a 2.0-liter V-6 engine derived from Honda's Formula 2...

The Gemera was upgraded with the Jesko’s twin-turbo V8 part way through its development. Customers have to cough up an extra $400,000 for the V8 but get an extra 900 hp and almost 700 lb-ft of additional torque. Christian von Koenigsegg says the carmaker isn’t giving up on the...

Koenigsegg Pulls 3-Cylinder Engine Option From Gemera, Keeps Twin-Turbo V8

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

IMMENDINGEN, Germany – After dominating the Autobahn with the GT 63 S E Performance, we took a detour into the lush, undulating south German countryside. It wasn’t just to mix things up. There, lurking in the forest just outside the tiny town of Immendingen, was a Mercedes testing facility and the brief chance to sample the 2025 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance.

The Ford Mustang GTD takes the nameplate to new heights. But it's less of a Mustang than it is a full-fledged supercar.

The Ford Mustang GTD Is Less of a Mustang and More of a Track-Ready Supercar

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.

What do a Mercedes-Benz CLA and a Toyota Corolla sedan have in common? Not much–although both are pretty similar in length: The Mercedes-Benz measures 184.6 inches, about 2 inches longer than the 182.3-inch-long Toyota . The biggest difference, though, would have to be the price. Whereas the most expensive...

The exterior is more angular, especially around the edges, and the cabin gets a major rework, with buyers getting either two large screens -- one for the cluster, one for infotainment -- or one large curved dash that integrates each screen. This is trim-dependent, and the Premium I tested had the latter.

These are challenging times for automakers. Competition has never been so fierce, fueled by the rise of Chinese car manufacturers who have a head start in the EV race. Add increasingly stricter emissions regulations, and you get the perfect storm. To cope with all the hurdles ahead, some of the biggest names in the industry are joining forces. The recently formed Honda-Nissan alliance could welcome a third player: Mitsubishi.

As hybrid and electric vehicles take over the automotive landscape, it's hard to find a V8 engine stuffed between the fenders of any new car. After all, V8 engines are big, loud, and not very fuel-efficient, so who would want one of those? Many enthusiasts do, actually. And fortunately for them, there are still a few vehicles in the market that are powered by an almighty V8.

The 10 Best V8-Powered Vehicles In 2024

In the 1960s, big-block engines were the top choice for muscle cars because they provided a lot of power by increasing engine size. However, these heavy engines made handling more difficult. By the 1970s, advancements in engine technology allowed smaller, lighter engines to deliver similar power. Here’s a look at the most powerful small-block V8 engines from the 1970s.

If you were hoping to get what is arguably the finest sports car on the planet, you're out of luck. While browsing the Porsche USA site this week (as one does when one can), we noticed that the 911 GT3 no longer appears. The production facility in Zuffenhausen where the GT3 is produced has a very limited manufacturing capacity, and although Porsche tries to get as many out of the door as possible, demand far exceeds supply, and not just for the GT3; other high-performance Porsches must also be made.

For many, the Mazda Miata MX-5 "is the answer" when it comes to a fun, affordable sports car. And why not? After all, the Miata has built itself quite the reputation over the course of the last four generations, offering consumers sharp, low-weight handling, plus legendary driver engagement. While not the quickest thing in a straight line, there should be little doubt that the Miata is a fantastic little roadster, especially in the twisty bits, and it's every bit deserving of its many titles and accolades. That said, when it comes to raw sales figures, the Miata is simply not the answer. In fact, there's one American sports car in particular that has outsold the plucky little Mazda by a factor of six this year.

If your only argument against the 2025 Ram 1500 is it doesn’t have a Hemi, you’re missing out. I crave a V-8 burble as much as anyone, but after a week with the latest half-ton Ram and its high-output 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six, I don’t miss the Hemi even a teeny bit. I absolutely love this truck.
