E.C.D Automotive Design calls it Project Evolution. We call it bloody awesome. It’s been a while since we heard from East Coast Defender. In fact, the company has changed its name in the months since our last ECD feature; the new entity is known now as E.C.D. Automotive Design. Fortunately it appears the custom Land Rover Defender projects…
It’s one fast wagon. Thanks to Americans believing wagons are icky, the U.S. market is thin on sporty station wagons. Instead, we opt for large, unnecessary crossovers and SUVs that better accentuate our large waistlines. That means we don’t get the Audi RS6 Avant – a 605-horsepower people mover. We can complain about the lack of wagons…
BMW aficionados with 35 minutes to spare won’t regret watching these videos. BMW took the wraps off the all-new 3 Series Sedan last week at the Paris Motor Show, and as you are about to see in these videos, production of the company’s best-selling car has already commenced. The attached footage comes from the factory in Munich,…
Talk about things to do with a V12 4×4 supercar. Supercar owners. A rare breed of auto enthusiasts doing everything possible to grab people’s attention. Thankfully, not all mid-engine lovers are keeping their gems hidden in well-ventilated parking spaces – some of them actually drive them. And have a lot of fun. This guy here takes…
The results are surprising. If you asked a handful of strangers to describe Jaguar in one word, you’d likely get responses such as “luxurious,” “sporty, and “refined.” One word likely absent is “supercar.” However, Jaguar does have an offering that pushes those boundaries – and it’s a sedan called the Jaguar XE Project 8. On paper signed and notarized…
They help stop the beastly SUV. When you think about upgrading your vehicle with added performance parts, you often imagine adding a host of engine parts in the pursuit of more power. That’s an admirable goal, but more horsepower isn’t the only improvement you should consider. If you’re going faster, then you need to stop quicker,…
The best, most complete four-door performance vehicle in the world. Rain pelts the windshield, blinding me as I putter along at 20 miles per hour on an unfamiliar road in the Hill Country outside Austin, Texas. Forrest Gump would call it “the big, ol fat rain,” and the wipers of the Mercedes-AMG GT53 4-Door are struggling to…
The new 700-horsepower clubsport race car celebrates the 70th anniversary of Porsche. Porsche has a new race car, and it marks the return of a legendary name: 935. Harking back to the wildly successful racer from the 1970s, nicknamed “Moby Dick,” the new clubsport car is vaguely based on a current-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS road…
The SUV 100D isn’t quite ludicrous, but it’s still plenty likable. One of the more entertaining experiences we had with the Tesla Model X 100D was watching the front doors and “Falcon Wing” rear doors power themselves open and closed, choreographed to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Wizards in Winter” blasting from the speakers, with the car’s LED headlamps,…
McLaren’s track-fortified 600LT brings Senna intensity to the Sports Series. McLaren product development moves with the efficiency of a fast-food chain stacking beef patties, buns, and cheese into a dozen different menu items. Working from a stock of carbon-fiber tubs, twin-turbo V-8s, and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearboxes, the Brits churn out new supercars as if…
