Mercedes-Benz plans to unveil a new luxury yacht concept at the 2013 Monaco Yacht Show taking place in September. Called the Silver Arrow Of The Seas, a name derived from the automaker’s long history of grand prix race cars, the new luxury yacht was penned by the automaker’s own design team but is being built by British firm Silver...
A new SUV is in development at Mercedes-Benz, and its working title is MLC. Due in 2015 as a 2016 model, the MLC is aimed at the BMW X6 and its four-door-coupe-UV ilk. Porsche's own smaller crossover/SUV is on its way, too: the 2014 Macan. Spied again in testing, this time essentially undisguised, the Macan promises to add a level of verve and...
If you're not watching IndyCar racing, you should be. Yes, there are ovals, but there are also road courses on a regular basis, and whichever is on the weekend's docket, you're in for some of the best wheel-to-wheel racing anywhere on the planet. Next year, the competition should heat up even more with the move to mandatory twin turbochargers for...
Porsche is about to expand its lineup with two brand new models. One will be the 918 Spyder at the top of the range and the other will be this Macan crossover positioned at the bottom. The Macan will go on sale in spring 2014, which means we’re likely to see it unveiled at a major international auto show around the end of this year--the most...
The latest iteration of the Nissan GT-R can already hit 60 mph from rest in a blistering 2.7 seconds but that number is expected to drop with the arrival of a more potent GT-R NISMO model currently in the works. Set for a reveal at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show in November, the GT-R NISMO is tipped to have more than 570 horsepower and be capable of...
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has published the results of a new study that looked at the rates of car theft around the country, with the focus being on luxury cars. The organization, which works closely with law enforcement agencies to gather its data, has found that the most popular luxury car among thieves is the Mercedes-Benz...
Lexus first previewed a large, seven-seat crossover as far back as 2003 with its HPX concept, and since then we’ve heard from Lexus officials that such a vehicle was in the works. However, with Lexus set to launch a compact NX crossover and new RC coupe next year, it looks like the automaker might still be several years away from the launch...
The 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C will serve as the official safety car at the Silverstone round of the 2013 World Superbike Championship, which takes place in the U.K. this weekend. Alfa Romeo is a top sponsor of the event and has ensured its 4C safety car will stand out by decking it out in a special livery whose red, white and green hues mimic the Italian...
Mercedes-Benz can be seen here in catch-up mode, with the automaker from Stuttgart currently developing a test mule for a vehicle to rival the BMW X6 coupe crossover, soon to be entering its second generation. Audi, too, is in a similar position to Mercedes, though development of its own coupe crossover, the Q6, started much earlier. The vehicle...
Following the announcement last May that Honda was making a return to Formula One as an engine supplier, initially to the McLaren team for the 2015 season, news immediately broke that the two might partner on development of one of McLaren’s future road cars. This was shot down only days later, when an insider revealed that Honda’s...
The gang at Drive continues to turn out great automotive videos left and right, but some of our favorites have been their forays into the behind-the-scenes construction of exotics around the world. The latest entry in that category is this look at the wood-car world of the Morgan Motor Company. You may remember another recent look at Morgan...
Campy commercials with F1 drivers are just a bit of sidework for NASCAR champion and all-around badass Tony Stewart. From 24 Hours of Lemons to dirt track sprint cars, if there's a race in Stewart's vicinity, chances are he's behind the wheel. Last night, for example, Stewart was racing a sprint car at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario, Canada...
The battle of the mega-four-door-coupes is heating up with the arrival of the 2014 Audi RS 7. BMW's M6 Gran Coupe and Mercedes-Benz's CLS63 AMG have already staked their claim to buyers' hearts and wallets, but the RS 7 may not have too tough a time winning its own fans. Official pricing released today reveals the 2014 RS 7 will start from...
Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker recently confirmed it would reveal a convertible version of its B6 Venator concept this year, and that both cars would eventually enter production. The last we heard, Spyker planned to start production of its B6 Venator sometime in 2014, though the company hasn’t said when sales in the U.S. might actually...
