| 2015 BMW M6 Coupe and Convertible: Heavy Cars, Light Refresh |
Dec 11th, 2014 |
|
The BMW M6 is a paradoxical car. Its name harks back to an epic road-burning coupe, one with a race-derived inline-six engine, but in its current form it is a gigantic and heavy luxury machine that just happens to be fast. In both coupe and convertible forms, the M6 weighs in at around two tons, […]

Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
The 24 Hours of LeMons has been running its California winter race, known as the Arse Freeze-a-Palooza, since all the way back in 2007, and we held the eighth annual Arse Freeze at not-so-cold Sonoma Raceway aka Sears Point last weekend. We inspected the 175 entrants on Friday, watched extremely close class battles on Saturday, […]

| 2015 Mini John Cooper Works Is a Thing, Packs 228 Horsepower in a Bite-Size Package |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
You can pretty much set your watch by the Mini product plan—the basic versions come first, followed by the progressively hotter iterations and myriad body styles. The arrival of a John Cooper Works version of the third-gen F56 hatchback marks a coming of age, the equivalent of Porsche pulling the wraps from a 911 Turbo […]

| 2016 Porsche Boxster GT4 Spied Starring in German Rendition of “Frozen” |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
What It Is: A Porsche Boxster prototype doing its best impression of a Michigan resident and freezing its arse off during cold-weather testing. We believe this Boxster—which is badged as an S model—is in fact a 2016 GT4, a new range-topping high-performance model. The front fascia is the giveaway, its giant intakes mimicking those on […]

| 2015 BMW M6 Gran Coupe Officially Debuts: Hotness, Slightly Modified |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
For all the “four-door coupe” nonsense floating around these days, it turns out that the 6-series Gran Coupe was a great idea. Stretching the wheelbase of the handsome (and proper) 6-series coupe to accommodate an extra pair of portals imparted stunning proportions, and the resulting car has resonated well with buyers. Of course, it wasn’t […]

| 2015 BMW 6-series Coupe and Convertible: BMW Strays from Changing Its GT Too Much |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
As one of the more attractive vehicles on sale today, the BMW 6-series certainly does not need work. But industry custom dictates that it’s time for a midcycle refresh, and so BMW tasked its designers with coming up with a few ideas for the 2015 model year. READ MORE ››

| 2015 BMW 6-series Gran Coupe: Updated But Not Ruined |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
Whatever your view on the recently coined “four-door coupe” phrase, BMW’s largest take on the concept, the 6-series Gran Coupe, is a stunner. It is a far-better-looking 5-series sedan, terminology be damned. And unlike its rivals from Audi and Mercedes-Benz, the BMW is actually based on a real two-door coupe. (That car itself shares much […]

Hey, with the top down, you can make the most of the shortest day of the year. When those first ragtop Stangs roll out on the dealership floors, […]

| How We’d Spec It: The Coolest 2015 Ford F-150 You Didn’t Know Existed |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
When we first ran the 2015 Ford F-150 through our How We’d Spec It online-configurator fantasizing process, we ended up with a $47,625 crew-cab 4×4 model with the EcoBoost twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6. A nice truck, for sure—we’ve driven one just like it—but it gave us a thought: Do you really need to spend nearly $50K […]

| The World We Live In: Mansory Gives the S-class Nearly 1000 Horsepower |
Dec 10th, 2014 |
|
Because too much is never enough, and because this decade’s outrageous horsepower wars have deadened our innate sense of what counts as too extreme, this is what we’ve come to: the Mansory-modified Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG with 986 horsepower. Because you can’t get heated seats on a JATO rocket. This adjective-straining exercise in audacity reworks just about every […]
