The 2020 Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Isn’t Racing Cosplay

Whether used Suzuki or brand-new Ducati, sportbikes are the motorcycles of choice for dedicated track-day racers and handling aficionados. And like any other kind of bike, sportbike performance ranges from mild to extreme. However, there’s a distinct gap between a street-legal bike and a true racing machine. The 2020 Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Limited Edition, …

British Bike Brand CCM Celebrates 50 Years of Slinging Sand

Today in the US, if you mention British bikes, Triumph is the first name that comes to mind. But it’s just one of several motorcycle brands that’ve sprung from the UK. While many have fallen into history’s pages, some, like BSA, have returned. It’s a similar story with another British marque, Clews Competition Motorcycles, aka …
A gray-and-red 2011 Local Motors Rally Fighter with a roof-mounted basket in a field

Local Motors’ Rally Fighter Is Open-Source Off-Road Awesome

Even looking past the upcoming SCG 008 Baja Buggy, there’s no shortage of high-speed off-road vehicles on sale today. However, that wasn’t always the case. True, rock-crawlers like the Wrangler and 4Runner have been around for years. But before the first Ford F-150 Raptor, no company really offered a heavy-duty Baja-ready dune jumper from the …

Lexus Launches a Limited-Edition 2022 IS500 F Sport Performance

Toyota may have ended V8 development, but the engine still has a home in Lexus. Specifically, in the upcoming 2022 Lexus IS500 F Sport Performance. However, as if the news of the more-powerful engine wasn’t enough, Lexus is making a limited-edition version of the V8-powered sedan. It’s called the Lexus IS500 F Sport Performance Launch …
A silver-with-black-stripes 2021 Shelby Super Snake Speedster drives on a desert racetrack

No Porsche? The 825-Hp Shelby Super Snake Speedster Says, No Problem

While you can certainly get convertible supercars like the DBS Superleggera these days, the Porsche 911 Speedster isn’t your typical convertible. And its reputation looms large enough to have inspired several kit cars and fan recreations. But Shelby American wants Mustang owners to get in on the fun, too. Which is why it just announced …
A white 2021 Toyota GR Yaris next to a red 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition on an airstrip

Which Is Faster: A Toyota GR Yaris or a Tommi Makinen Mitsubishi Lancer Evo?

The GR Yaris’s rave reviews don’t make its lack of US availability any easier to bear. But the Toyota hot hatch isn’t the only rally-themed car kept from American shores. Although Mitsubishi eventually sold the Lancer Evo here, we never got the earlier models. For example, the celebratory Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition. But …

Want a 1-of-7 Michigan-Built Supercar? Buy This Falcon F7

Car auctions, whether online or in-person, offer excellent chances to bid on some real rarities. Say, for example, ultra-rare supercars like the 1-of-1 Isdera Commendatore. And if you’ve been looking for an American-made supercar, but don’t fancy a Viper or a Cobra 427 Super Snake, you’re in luck. That’s because Cars and Bids just listed …
The orange Gordon Murray T.50s Niki Lauda

The Gordon Murray T.50s Niki Lauda Is a Birthday Tribute To a Legend

When the designer of the McLaren F1 announces he’s making a new hypercar, you pay attention. Such was the case last year when Gordon Murray unveiled the T.50. However, as technologically incredible as that car is, Murray hinted that something even more extreme was coming. And now, it’s finally here, baring a name many Formula …
A white 1986 Ford RS200 Evolution in the forest

The 1986 Ford RS200 Evolution Is a Group B Rally Beast

Rallying, like many other forms of automotive racing, makes automakers pursue intriguing and oftentimes kooky solutions to speed. Renault, for example, turned a front-engine, FWD hatchback into a mid-engine RWD one. The Citroen 2CV Sahara has 4WD and two engines. And the Lancia Delta Integrale’s predecessor, the Delta S4, had both a turbocharger and a …
The front 3/4 view of a gray-with-red-mirrors 2006 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP in a desert parking lot

Bring a Trailer Bargains of the Week: Mini Cooper JCW GP

If you’re looking to take on Civic Type Rs and Veloster Ns, the 2021 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works GP is a great option. But its serious performance comes with a serious price tag. And some hot-hatch fans may not like the lack of a manual. However, a solution is available this week on Bring …
A matte-green 2022 BMW M5 CS in the desert

The 2022 M5 CS Is the Fastest and Most Powerful BMW Yet

M cars are already fast and sporty BMWs. And if you want one that’s even faster and sharper, the German automaker now offers Competition variants. Like, for example, the BMW M5 Competition, the most powerful road car the company has ever made—up until now. Because that moniker now belongs to the 2022 BMW M5 CS. …
The silver 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster 25 Years by the ocean

The 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster 25 Is a Blast From the Past

Thanks in part to the 718 Boxster, getting behind the wheel of a Porsche sports car doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It helps that it also tops Consumer Reports’ list of new convertibles. And 2021 marks the roadster’s 25th anniversary. So, to celebrate, Porsche is giving the 718 Boxster a major throwback with the …

The 2021 Audi RS6 Avant Faces Its Iconic RS2 Ancestor

US-market fast station wagons have been relatively thin on the ground these past few years. But that’s only partially why there’s been so much hype surrounding the Audi RS6 Avant’s availability here. The other part of it comes from a performance car the brand never offered in the US: the Audi RS2 Avant. And recently, …
The side view of a blue-and-white 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition

Does the 2020 Dodge Charger Daytona Live up To Its Classic Namesake?

The Hellcat Redeye model isn’t the only special Dodge Charger available right now. In honor of the original Charger Daytona’s 50th anniversary, Dodge launched a limited-edition modern homage. But just because the name’s the same—or at least similar—doesn’t mean the new model drives like the classic one. So, how does the 2020 Dodge Charger Daytona …
The rear 3/4 view of a white 2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 on a track

The Last Mezger: The 997 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

While the IMS bearing looms over every 996-gen Porsche 911, two models escape it. One is the 996 Turbo, and the other is the non-US 996 GT3 RS. That’s because both of these cars’ powerplants have elements derived from Hans Mezger’s legendary Porsche racing engines. Sadly, he passed away in June 2020, having retired from …
