The latest, and just now being revealed to potential clientele at the 2024 Monterey Auto Week, is the S680 Edition Nordic Glow, inspired by the sight of the northern lights over the arctic circle.

Ask anyone to name the most luxurious car they can think of and I'll bet good money they say Rolls-Royce. But having spent some time with the BMW i7's new Theater Mode, which includes a 31.3-inch 8K screen that gracefully slides down from the roof, they may have to revise that opinion.  There's no real RRP when it comes to a Rolls, while customers can specify pretty much any conceivable option they can dream up, so long as the budget stretches. But dig a little deeper and you’ll notice BMW has a big part to play in the story.Ever since...

AFFALTERBACH, Germany – Rounding out the Mercedes reveals of Monterey Car Week (even if this one was shown in Germany), is another special version of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car. Called the Edition 130Y Motorsport, it's a special track car based on the competition vehicle, and it celebrates more than a century (130 years) since Mercedes first entered an automobile race. But because it's not built to compete professionally, Mercedes-AMG could ignore a variety of restrictions to make the fastest version of the car possible, and the last of the naturally-aspirated versions of the car.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie.
