I remember when Ferrari released their hard-lined successor to the 360 Modena. The older car was looking very blobby and very ‘90s by the mid 2000s, and the 430 seemed every bit the modern and incredible push into the 21st century. But a decade on, things seem different. Let’s start by looking at the construction…
More power, more wheels, and more outrageousness Between the rampant exotics and the lurking classics, it takes some seriously special sheetmetal to stand out in car-clogged Malibu. But this triumphantly conspicuous ride is John Hennessey’s stab at the already imposing Ford F-150 Raptor, a wicked transmogrification of the offroad-effective 4×4 into an over-the-top six-wheeled, three-axle’d…
Find a tight spot but don’t feel like wiggling in or out? The Porsche Cayenne will soon be capable of doing it for you. Porsche announced Tuesday that it will debut a new parking assist feature named Remote Park Assist on the updated Cayenne luxury crossover. The system works in conjunction with “parking spot search,”…
While I’m not a huge Ferrari guy on principle, even I refuse to apologize for how much I liked the 458 Italia and now its turbocharged successor, the 488. And the new 488 Pista is the one you want because it boasts Ferrari’s most powerful V8 engine ever, rated at 711 horsepower. Now this weekend at Pebble Beach, we…
An unwritten rule in car culture dictates that in order for a car to be truly remarkable, it has to have forgivable character flaws that give it a unique personality that allows man to truly bond with tamed machine. It is exactly those traits that make this car, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the best used…
Who said this car was only made for straight lines? The new Divo is Bugatti’s so-called “handling car.” Its advanced aero work and sharper suspension gives it capabilities neither the Veyron nor the Chiron before it had. It’s a whole eight seconds faster around the Nardo handling circuit than the Chiron, in fact. But just because the Divo was built…
The auction house estimates it will fetch up to $550,000. Having been the world’s fastest production car upon its launch, the Porsche 959 needs no introduction. Only 337 were ever made, but this 1987 example is actually rarer since it’s the Komfort specification of which only 294 cars were built. Even though it’s more than three decades…
2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance: Here’s What We Thought What can one person determine about the ultra-important Tesla Model 3 Performance with just an hour and a half behind the wheel? Probably not much, but this week we had the collective brain-weight of four Jalopnik writers who took turns inside the quickest and most powerful version of…
Wait, seriously? You’re probably thinking that this is just a gimmick that Mercedes came up with to promote a new tech, but it’s not. The German marque has come up with a clever technology that’s as fun as it is functional. Called the Digital Light, this new feature lets a Maybach S-Class talk via its headlights. Literally. Don’t worry,…
Chassis number #11 combines electric blue and white with a lot of exposed carbon fiber. McLaren has been criticized by some for taking the concept of “form follows function” to the extreme when engineering the Senna, but it has not been an issue for the company in terms of customer demand. As the video shows, the…
