Stepping into a sleek sports car feels great, and driving it feels even better. The way it leans into a curve and pushes you into your seat as you depress the gas pedal makes you feel united to the car. The 2023 Toyota GR Supra is one such sports car. The GR Supra has been […]
When you were a little kid and tried to imagine the cars of the future, you might have pictured something like the Chevy E-Ray. Even today, it almost looks too modern to be real. The E-Ray, for the record, is a hybrid-electric variant of the ever-popular Corvette C8. If you’ve followed the Corvette through the […]
Commonly referred to as “America’s Sports Car,” the Corvette ranks somewhere between baseball and apple pie in the eyes of V8-loving patriots. The Corvette isn’t just an American icon—it’s also the only two-seat sports car still produced in the good old U-S-of-A, delivering true American muscle to thrill-seeking drivers. Built exclusively in Bowling Green, Kentucky—also […]
It was a damp and dreary January day at the Milford Proving Grounds in southeast Michigan, where automotive journalists of every stripe were greeted for a first ride in the latest Corvette model. Surely, there was disappointment regarding the conditions. Forty degrees and drizzly has never been a driver-friendly forecast, but there they were. Fresh […]
Chevrolet is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the 70th birthday of its iconic sports car. Sure, there’s a “70th Anniversary Edition” Corvette with exclusive badging, colors, and even a custom luggage set designed to match, but there’s also something even more exciting: the reveal of the upcoming 2024 Chevy Corvette E-Ray. This hybrid […]
Honda is known for reliable, affordable, and smooth-handling cars. Its vehicles have always attracted responsible drivers looking for safe cars at a budget-friendly price. The Honda Civic has been a top seller since its first release over 50 years ago. But thrill-seekers should know Honda has also slipped some speedy models into its lineup through […]
“Miata,” from an Old High German word for “reward,” was Mazda’s answer to the question, “What if we had our engineering teams dogfight each other to develop a car?” That’s a hot take, I know, and more than a bit of a stretch–far from being its inception, that gritty chapter is actually the climax of […]
In 1953 the world was a very different place. Khrushchev and Tito rose to power in eastern Europe at the same time that an armistice was signed in Korea. For the first time humans stood atop Mount Everest, and evidence linking lung cancer to smoking was discovered. Color TVs were introduced to the market, costing […]
Generally speaking, making a new vehicle is a team effort. Designers, engineers, marketing staff, technicians, and production line staff all work together to bring each new model into existence in a process that usually takes between three to five years. That said, there are some exceptions to the rule and some game-changing automotive minds who, […]
Virtually any list of the greatest sports cars of all time includes at least one Ferrari. The marque is one of the strongest brand names in the world, earning its recognition through racing excellence and a sports car division that exists solely to support said excellence; it’s requisite for such a brand to be a […]
Truth be told, you probably don’t need to know who Carroll Shelby was in order to appreciate the Shelby GT500. You don’t necessarily have to know the backstory of how Shelby and Ford came together in order to search for a Shelby GT500 for sale. You don’t even need to know about the Ford racing […]
Nationwide, every Chevrolet dealer heard only crickets in 1953 when the Corvette debuted, failing to impress drivers as Chevrolet envisioned. The automaker had a lot riding on the Corvette, hoping it would pull the company out of a sales slump. However, the first-generation model was a massive flop, with Chevy selling only 183 models. So, […]
Some of the most glorious models in the history of automobile manufacturing have been Fords. The mere concept of a car that anyone could own and drive was put into American reality behind the wheel of a Ford Model T, and innovation has been the brand’s hallmark in each subsequent model. As a car “for […]
Although you’ll find a lot of different models at your local Chevy dealer, nothing else has the legacy of power and style that the Camaro does. The Camaro has been around for more than 50 years now, with only a short break, but it would seem that it won’t make it to its 60th anniversary. […]
“The Green Hell,” as Sir Jackie Stewart named it, may be the most demanding track on Earth. There are those which are older, more renowned, or drive faster, but no permanent circuit is longer nor features more varied topography. The Nurburgring is one of the most dangerous tracks in the world, so long and winding […]
Last month, I wrote about a car that was being sold at auction on November 5th, 2022: a 2003 Enzo Ferrari. The car is one of the most special members of a now-dissolved club called the Gran Turismo Collection by RM Sotheby’s. This is a relatively small collection composed of 18 of the rarest and […]
You’ve decided to treat yourself to a fast car––to a car that will be a total joy ride. This won’t be your carpool vehicle. This won’t be the responsible and “adult” car you pull up to work in. This is your little treat to yourself. You want to burn some rubber, hear the purr of […]
Over 50 years ago, a legend was born, and it was called the Z. The Nissan Z-car, sometimes known as the Fairlady Z, wowed car enthusiasts and spurred half a century of Z greatness. If you haven’t fantasized about owning one by now, chances are you will. The first thing that catches my eye when […]
Between the Toyota GR86, Hyundai Elantra N, Toyota GR Corolla, Honda Civic Type R, and Nissan Z, affordable sports cars are all the rage again. It’s no secret that a car with a purring engine that can lay down some rubber on the road isn’t exactly your practical, everyday ride, especially for anyone who has […]
Lee Iacocca was known as something of a visionary in the automotive industry. During his time as vice president at Ford, he was a key player in the development of several iconic vehicles, from the Pinto to the Continental Mark III. However, without Iacocca’s input into a small, sporty, affordable car, we would have never […]
