| VW Eos Being Discontinued: “Don’t Let the Sun Come Down on M—Oh, Damn” |
Feb 25th, 2015 |
|
Volkswagen just remembered that it still builds the ancient Eos folding hardtop convertible, an epiphany which must have reminded the company that it sells relatively few of the things.

| 2016 McLaren 675LT: More Power, Less Weight, More Tail |
Feb 25th, 2015 |
|
McLaren’s hot, new 675LT is a higher-performance variant of the 650S, and the LT portion of its name is derived from the wild 1997 F1 GT “Longtail” homologation special. That rare McLaren menaced the road with radically lengthened bodywork, racy aerodynamics, and a better power-to-weight ratio than the car on which it was based. The […]

| Video: Watch the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² Go Crazy Nuts |
Feb 24th, 2015 |
|
Mercedes loves the rolling-barn anachronism that is the G-wagen, and it really loves producing and selling profit-heavy, super-bonkers versions of the stalwart beast. Consider the G63 AMG. And the V-12 G65 AMG. And the insaniac 6×6. All based on what is, essentially, still a rough-and-tumble military vehicle for which the basic R&D was done decades ago. There’s more: Earlier […]

| Watch: McLaren P1 GTR and F1 GTR Dice on the Racetrack |
Feb 24th, 2015 |
|
While the liveries draw a direct line between the race-prepped F1 GTR and the track-ready P1 GTR, they also illuminate just how far top-spec McLarens have come.
