When you look at the last few batches of headline-grabbing McLarens, Lamborghinis and Porsches, they’ve had one thing to offer: lap times. Nürburgring records. Extreme track performance. I say unto you now: who actually gives a shit? One of the best and fastest cars I’ve ever driven is the 580 horsepower 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, and it will…

It’s super right, even if it’s not superlight. It’s a good thing you can’t see the gorgeous, flowing Superleggera script adorning each of the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera’s hood strakes from the driver’s seat. Catching a glimpse of that chromed cursive while piloting Aston’s newest flagship might clash with the other stimuli tickling your senses. HIGHS Knockout…

The Jeep doesn’t seem to have a problem, however. We aren’t sure what the bigger tragedy is here. Yes, that’s a Ferrari California hopelessly marooned in the middle of a flooded New Jersey highway.
