Italian automakers Alfa Romeo and Maserati are joining forces to build “few-off” flagship models under a new bespoke programme called Bottegafuoriserie. The new bespoke division will not only produce ultra-exclusive models but will also offer extensive customisation options to its customers, “becoming the cradle of high-emotion vehicles that push boundaries.” Bottegafuoriserie will create models like the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale …

SEMA week is here. Some of the greatest (and some of the jankiest) builds in the automotive universe all gather in Las Vegas for one big aftermarket showdown. The cast of usual suspects are all on the show floor, with the Ringbrothers being one of the most prolific builders in attendance. Each year, Mike and Jim Ring bring something good …

Last month, General Motors announced that it would launch a new zonal architecture meant to transform how the company builds its vehicles, with software playing a vital role. Recently, though, the company made some changes to who will oversee that team.   Sterling Anderson, GM’s current chief technology officer, will take on more responsibility with former Apple executive Dave Richardson …

The BMW M5 Touring is the automaker’s first performance wagon in the US in, well, a very long time—but it’s already proving to be a big hit. Through the first few months of 2025, demand for the M5 Touring outpaced that of the sedan, putting it on track to become one of BMW’s most sought-after performance models by the end …

The horsepower wars may be over in the supercar world, but in trucklandia, the numbers keep climbing. Not satisfied with “only” 720 horsepower in the F-150 Raptor R, Ford decided there was room for more, way more. Possibly a preemptive answer to the returning Ram TRX, the Blue Oval’s supertruck now boasts a ludicrous 900+ hp. The project vehicle is …

Ford revived the street truck formula a little over a year ago with the launch of the Maverick Lobo. For this year’s SEMA, the Blue Oval is taking things a step further by equipping its smallest pickup with a host of Ford Performance Parts. Compatible with the AWD XL, XLT, and Lariat models, these upgrades aren’t just for show: a …

Hard to believe it’s already been two years since Mazda lifted the covers off the Iconic SP. Given the company’s track record of not bringing promising concept cars to fruition, we’ve been cautiously optimistic ever since. After all, we’ve been burned before: Remember the 2015 RX-Vision? That rotary-powered, rear-wheel-drive coupe never materialized, and its spiritual successor may suffer the same …

Audi hasn’t been doing too well lately. Sales fell 11.8 percent last year to 1,671,218 vehicles and haven’t rebounded in the first nine months of 2025. Through September, shipments continued to decline, dropping 4.8 percent to 1,175,765 units. That’s despite the launch of several new core products, including the A5, Q5, and A6. The revamped Q3 didn’t have time to …

Kia continues to cook this year, with the Korean automaker recording its best October ever. The automaker sold just over 69,000 cars last month, beating October 2024’s sales by just 94 units. But some models definitely fared better than others.    The Sportage remains Kia’s best-selling vehicle, selling just over 16,000 crossovers in October, up 17.4 percent. The compact K4 sedan was …

An excellent exhaust note remains a great joy. The right aural blast can take an okay drive and turn it into something that sticks in your mind. You know the drill when you’re approaching one; roll the windows down, drop a gear, and scream towards the light on the car end. Porsche gets this, too. So much so, in fact, …

Outside of the London expansion for the first Grand Theft Auto video game, the series has settled on satirizing America ever since. Gamers have committed mass atrocities in fictionalized versions of New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, and there’s a simple reason for that: There’s no place like the good ol’ United States.  Rockstar Co-Founder Dan Houser revealed on the Lex Fridman podcast that there’s a reason why the series keeps returning to these iconic cities. Houser said: …

Honda introduced the S2000 at the turn of the century, just over 25 years ago. It was a purpose-built convertible sports car that the automaker produced for a decade, and rumors of its return swirled for years, with no new car ever materializing. There are no definitive plans to resurrect the model, but there’s clearly still a lot of love for it within the company.   According to Drive, Tomoyuki …

Up until very recently, BMW offered two different variants for each of its M cars: The standard M and the more powerful Competition model. Lately, however, the brand has quietly started phasing out its Competition trim. But BMW has a good reason for the shift. In a recent interview with BMW Blog, BMW M CEO Frank van Meel confirmed that …

Nissan and Daimler inked a deal in 2015 to build the Cooperation Manufacturing Plant Aguascalientes (COMPAS) in central Mexico. The 50:50 joint venture invested $1 billion in the factory, where production began in 2017 with the Infiniti QX50 and QX55. The Mercedes A-Class joined the assembly line a year later, followed by the GLB in 2019. The A-Class was short-lived, …

It’s well known that Japanese automakers have long been reluctant to commit fully to battery electric vehicles. Toyota has been the most vocal about this stance, with chairman Akio Toyoda claiming EVs will never exceed a 30 percent market share. Instead, companies from the Land of the Rising Sun see biofuels as a potential savior of the internal combustion engine. …
