Lexus is another brand well known for its luxury products. The ES is no exception. What is most impressive about the ES is its spacious interior, plus the availability of a hybrid ES 300h model. Plus there are multiple variations on the luxury, with the Standard Luxury and Ultra Luxury versions of the car adding some vari
One cool tidbit Jenkins shared with me about the Air’s actual design process involved the use of virtual-reality headsets. VR helped Jenkins overcome what he saw as a major challenge with the Air’s overall concept
The Mazda MX-5 Miata has consistently been one of the best driving and most popular sports cars to ever hit production. It's small, light weight, perfect 50/50 weight distribution and high level of feedback make it an absolute dream to drive. For those who want a bit more out of their Miata, the aftermarket industry follows their popularity. With anything from various suspension upgrades to turbo LS engine swaps , the sky is the limit for the little roadster. One company, however, has decided to do something different and turn the popular sports car into the perfect driver's
The Porsche Boxster is quite bland. Which is why it is on this list. It has never really gained the same sort of following that the 911 has got and it also does not offer to much difference in the way of performance. I have always wondered why it actually exists, but I am sure Porsche knows b
You might not believe this, but Tesla’s Model 3 is insanely fast. As well as being full of all the usual fancy gizmo’s that have become synonymous with Tesla, the Model 3 kicks out some brilliant performance figures. There is also that crazy ‘ludicrous’ mode that kicks out even more performa
As a more entry-level car, not too dissimilar to the Jaguar XE, the Giulia is one of the best luxury machines you can go and anchor get today. You do lose a little bit of interior space compared to some machines, but you are driving a five-seater Alfa Romeo for a good price. There is always something special about driving an A
"I grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s," he told me. "So all the cars that I appreciate—that I kind of obsess about—are from that time period. I’m a huge fan of, obviously, the first Countach and Lotus Esprit, Porsche 911 and Porsche 928. These kind of Italian and German-derived cars. Aesthetically, they’re quite different but that’s kind of my sweet spot: Bertone, Pininfarina, Giugiaro, Italdesi
What can we say about the LaFerrari? This is part of the trio of hypercars that launched the genre. The others being the Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1. All three of them are just insane. Formula 1 technology was utilized in them to develop their energy recovery systems, making them technical wonders as well as very, very f
Joining Lucid (or Atieva) sounds like it was akin to joining a startup that had already proven its worth and acquired funding. Yes, Atieva produced electric batteries and powertrains, but Rawlinson wanted to jump into the luxury EV market. Jenkins told me he and Rawlinson began by thinking about the opportunities that an electric drivetrain affords design
For owners who want to see how far into the wilderness the Hummer can take them, they'll be treated to features that even some of the most extreme rock crawlers lack. For example, the Ultravision feature provides real-time camera angles of the underbody of the truck to allow drivers to see what they're driving over. Should one find themselves on a particularly tricky trail, Extract mode allows the entire vehicle to lift itself a further 6 inches to gain added cleara
Finally, the Crabwalk feature we previewed earlier today demonstrates GMC's understanding that sometimes the only way out is sideways with rear-wheel steering. This truck isn't just about off-roading though, as it should be a capable daily driver to and from the office as w
The NB Miata they used for the project started its life out weighing in at roughly 980kg (2,160lbs) and had a 115hp 1.6L DOHC inline-4. Doing away with that, the car now has a 120hp Hyper9 electric motor out of a Tesla and weighs in at 1,017kg (2,242lbs). Unlike this crazy 2jz swapped Miata , the EV Miata definitely doesn't get much of a boost in power, but also doesn't gain much in weight, meaning it still has all that old Miata ch
It should be no surprise to see Audi appear on this list. They might not have the same feel as a Mercedes, but they are no less luxurious. The A6 is no exception to that rule either. Audi’s are great performers on urban and country roads, as well as the highways too. Plus, what’s not to like about all-wheel dr
After many years of fans wondering if and when the mighty Hummer might return, tonight is the night. The brand is evolving from a gas-guzzling vehicle of excess to one of opulent but environmentally conscious off-road ruggedness. When General Motors said that they were bringing the Hummer back , many doubted that they could truly pull off a unique and capable off-roader but that's precisely what they've accomplis
