| Do You Have to Use Expensive Cars to Make a Great Car Movie? |
May 5th, 2015 |
|
One Ford Mustang and one Dodge Charger. That was all it took back in 1968 to create what is still considered the greatest chase scene in Hollywood history. A Dodge and a Ford were all Bullitt needed to conjure celluloid magic, if you don’t count also needing half of San Francisco. Last year’s Need For Speed put together a fleet of Bugattis, Koenigseggs, and a few cars that didn’t yet exist, and nobody cared. When it comes to chase scenes, excellence doesn’t require expensive sheetmetal or exotic engineering. It just takes brave driving and daring filmmaking. So we’re taking a look at how the total value of the hero cars in a selection of pursuit scenes compares with each movie’s goodness, expressed through film ratings on the popular website Rotten Tomatoes. To get comparable value figures, we took the total value of the cars at the time of the film’s release and converted the figures to current dollars. Below are our findings for a handful of greats, a few not-so-greats, and a couple of major stinkers.

| This Immaculate 1961 250GT Spider Will Cost You 10 LaFerraris |
May 5th, 2015 |
|
If the Ferrari 250GT California Spider is one of the rarest and most attractive cars ever built, then it’s of little surprise that they regularly command eight-figure money when making auction-block appearances. Just a few months ago, we saw a ’61 SWB (short-wheelbase) model fetch nearly $20 million in Paris, and there’s no doubt that […]

| The Netherlands Says Maserati Levante SUV to Debut in Detroit |
May 5th, 2015 |
|
OK, so maybe not the country of the Netherlands itself, or its government. More accurately, the report comes from De Telegraaf, which states that Maserati’s high-riding SUV will emerge from hiding at Cobo Center next January. Maserati is in the midst of an aggressive product push that will see it expand from three offerings—a trident, if […]

| Sports-Coupe Showdown: Audi S5 vs. Cadillac ATS 3.6, Lexus RC350 F Sport |
May 5th, 2015 |
|
Sports coupes reside in that Rhode Island–sized space between fully indulgent sports cars and eminently sensible sports sedans. To earn its garage slot, a coupe must adroitly juggle three somewhat contradictory attributes: sex appeal, driving joy, and 2+2 practicality. READ MORE ››
