Porsche’s 2014 Panamera has a wide variety of powertrain options for what is arguably a niche model, ranging from gas and diesel V-6s to plug-in hybrid and high-performance twin-turbo V-8 setups.

For years NISMO has languished as the pseudo performance arm for Nissan but all that changed at the start of this year when the Japanese motorsport and tuning firm was named the official performance partner of Nissan.

Rumblings about a Jaguar SUV or crossover date back several years but never really made the headlines until a few weeks ago when it was revealed the British automaker was planning a landmark announcement at the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show. There’s little doubt as to what Jaguar is planning to announce anymore, as the automaker has...
Cadillac is already in the process of adding more models to its lineup to better compete with German luxury brands.

This week Volvo revealed a new coupe concept that previews the styling of its next generation of vehicles. During a presentation held at the concept’s unveiling, Volvo also showed a few teaser photos of its 2015 XC90.

Nissan is eager to get its new range-extended electric ZEOD RC race car out on the track. First, however, it has to actually build a working version. Construction on the first car is currently underway, and, per Nissan, it's nearing completion. That's a good thing because the ZEOD RC is slated to hit a U.K. test track in early September. You need...

If you've driven the McLaren MP4-12C, you know just how comfortable and easy-to-use it is--an unusual characteristic for a supercar. Soon, it may get even better.

The global car market is struggling with a still-weak economy, but it's certainly not lacking in the number of truly excellent vehicles available, many of them all-new for the 2014 model year.

Given that Chevy isn't even sure it should offer stop-start technology on its Corvette Stingray, the concept of a hybrid 'Vette seems fairly unlikely. You'd think so, anyway--but General Motors North America president Mark Reuss has hinted that one might be possible at some point. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Reuss said, "actually...
