| Suck It, Mustang: 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Loses More Camo, Comes Into Clearer Focus |
Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
A lighter and tighter Chevrolet Camaro this way comes. We last checked in on Chevy’s pony car a few months ago, when we published aerial spy photographs of the car being evaluated at General Motors’ proving ground. That prototype was well-camouflaged, but its general shape gave it away as the 2016 Camaro. The car pictured here […]

| Not Astron! Asterion! Photos Appear of Reported Lamborghini Mega-Hybrid Set for Paris Debut |
Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
In the early 1970s, Lamborghini was setting the world on its ear with the futuristic Countach and their Italianate take on the AMC Marlin, the mighty Espada. Mitsubishi, on the other hand, was working hard to integrate twin balance shafts into a modest overhead-cam four-banger. The result of these endeavors? Old man Ferruccio bailed on […]

Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
The late 1960s and early ’70s were an important period for exotic-car design. Four cars defined the era and set the stage for the wedge-shaped supercars that would later symbolize the ’80s. Those show cars were the Alfa Romeo Carabo, the Lancia Stratos Zero, and the Lamborghini LP500 concept, all designed by Marcello Gandini at […]

| Well, This Sucks: Porsche 918 Spyder Goes Up in Flames at Toronto Gas Station [Video] |
Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
Well, damn—what we have here is a 918 Spyder that went all GT3. Or NSX. Or Gallardo. Or, well, any supercar, because we’re pretty sure “burns to the ground with a fiery incandescence matched only by its ability to warp faces” is listed among the standard features for anything with more than 475 horsepower. The […]

| We Have a BMW i8 At Our Office Right Now: Ask Us Anything! |
Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
Of BMW’s eco-friendly i3 and i8, guess which one strikes us as more interesting? If you guessed potato salad, well, you clicked the wrong browser window. Of course the low-slung, quick, and butterfly-doored i8 is our choice—the i3 is as technically fascinating, but it’s nowhere near as sexy. With its exotic carbon-fiber monocoque, future-of-the-future styling, and […]

| Ezra Dyer: Everybody Please Give a Big Warm Welcome to Me |
Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
Greetings, Earthlings. This is a momentous occasion, my debut column for Car and Driver. I told editor-in-chief Eddie Alterman that I want this first piece to be a sensation, the magazine equivalent of those Dodge Neon ads that said “Hi.” He replied, “You’re fired.” I’m kidding, of course. I’m only on probation. And frankly I […]

| 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC Tested: An Effective Weapon in the Entry-Luxury Wars |
Sep 29th, 2014 |
|
During the Mercedes-Benz family’s most recent growth spurt, the entry-luxe CLA and the top dog Mercedes-AMG GT S have grabbed inordinate attention. More significant is how the new C-class fares against rising hostility in the premium compact-sedan class. Traditionally, Audi has been the style and luxury leader and BMW has defined exemplary performance, while Cadillac’s […]
