A few years ago, the Italian carmaker celebrated 50 years since the original Alfa Romeo Giulia was introduced, a car that went on an wrote history for the company based in Milan, Italy. There were so many great Alfa Romeo cars throughout the carmaker’s 100 year history that it’s hard to say the Giulia was the most important one, but one thing’s for sure, that it was and still is an iconic model and we were more than thrilled leaing that Alfa Romeo plans on reviving this year, as a replacement ...

The drop-top version of the drop-dead gorgeous DB11 goes official, introducing the charms of alfresco motoring to the super GT’s magnificent blend of sensuality and performance. The 2018Aston Martin DB11 Volante gets a new V8 engine instead of the big V12. But this engine is perfect for the roadster. Thenew 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine develops 510 horsepower in theAston Martin DB11 Volante, as it does in the AMG GT S from which it is borrowed. That is plenty good enough for an open-top gran tourer because this is not a car build for race track or a fast trek through twisty b-roads. This car is built for cruising, and a smooth and sweet-sounding V8 like this unit is just perfect. You c...

Move aside, Cayee Turbo. There is a new fastest production SUV around and it’s in no mood to be messed with! The newAlfa Romeo Stelvio QV (Quadrifoglio) has just set a super quick Nurburgring lap time to claim that title for the Italian brand. The big 4×4 went around the Green Hell in7 minutes 51.7 second. The lap time ofAlfa Romeo Stelvio QV is a full eight second quicker than the previo...

Land Rover never shies away from extreme stunts that challenge the capabilities of their cars. In fact, they welcome it. This time they have gone to the Australian Outback to prove the2018 Land Rover Discovery is a towing king… by hooking it up to a 110-toe road train. A road train is a convoy of lorries linked together and pulled by a massive tractor up front. To even think that a regular...

After SVO and SVR, Jaguar Land Rover now adds a third moniker for high-performance models, the SVX. This new one deals with fast and extra-rugged all-terrain vehicles, and its first outcome is Land Rover Discovery SVX presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The treatment to make theLand Rover Discovery SVX a high-performance off-roader begins with the fitment of a big engine. The engine in qu...

Startech, a subsidiary of Brabus with a penchant for SUVs, aounced a new upgrade program for the Disco V. The2017 Startech Land Rover Discovery will be formally introduced at the IAA, but here’s a sneak preview of what the tuner has in mind for the fifth generation of the British utility vehicle. Recognizing that the Disco could do with a little bit more flair, the tuner has come up with a...

The Italian Formula One Grand Prix came and went this past weekend and a Brit in a German car won it. That is probably because Ferrari drivers were off goofing around in anAlfa Romeo Giulia QV (Quadrifoglio). We kid, of course. The trio, including Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönenand Antonio Giovinazzi, were doing sister company Alfa Romeo a favor by taking the QV around the track for a frie...

Euro NCAP, an establishment that crashes new cars into concrete blocks to measure how safe they are, has awarded the new 2017Alfa Romeo Stelvio with its maximum score of 5 safety stars. That was expected to be honest, becausemassive SUVs usually perform well in crash tests. But this may not ...

After the 540C and the GT and all the racing variants it was about time McLaren dropped the drop-top version of the 570S, the so-called baby super car, the McLaren 570S Spider. And here it is in all its official glory, being exactly what you expect it to be, which is a discount version of the 65...

You may have heard of Kris Singh, a Miami-based businessman with a penchant for super rare, super expensive cars. You may have seen his Lamborghini Veneno and Pagani Huayra La Monza Lisa. And if those things haven’t been enough to make you jealous, check out the man’s latest acquisition, the uni...

The Giulia’s range in the United Kingdom is getting expanded further with the launch of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last year. Known as the Ti model in America, the Veloce sits snuggly between the base model and the range-topping QV, offering a nice blend of pe...

Not sure why Aston chose the very depth of this icy winter to aounce the launch of a new drop-top model, but anyway, the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante is now available for those who are not satisfied with the ordinary version of the car. As the open-top version of the Vanquish S, revealed late last year, the Volante comes with all the options and bespoke packages the Q department has to offer for this car. But before we get to those let’s first see what makes the ‘S’ different than normal VanQs. First and foremost, the car gets an uprated 6.0 V12 engine producing 603 PS,probably the last application of Aston’s super old engine, which gives the Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante a top spe...

You know Capristo as the maker of top-notch exhaust systems for exotic cars. This time though, they have come up with an exclusively aesthetic package. Capristo Ferrari 488 Spider is given by the tuner a range of new carbon styling components that make it look deliciously more aggressive. So maybe the exhaust maker decided the 488 sound good enough as it is and instead of wasting time tweaking that sound went and made some cool carbon parts for it. The main highlights of Capristo Ferrari 488 Spider include a front splitter with side wings which they have used previously on 458 models, tail light covers, mirror caps, rear air guide panel, side air panels and a new carbon fiber boet (engi...

With all the unique paint finishes and elaborate graphics packages we are seeing these days on MSO-prepped McLarens, it is refreshing to come across one with a simple, honest to God paint job. This Silica White McLaren 675LT Spider proves that you don’t have to go crazy with colors to end up with a unique and beautiful machine. It also proves that the LongTail is a natural beauty and does not depend on colors and mascara to become attractive. If anything, the makeup kind of ruins it, as we saw with this fairly ridiculous green and yellow MSO HS 688 model. The Silica White McLaren 675LT Spider is special in that it features the simple color on its aero parts as well as the body panels, a...

If you are an avid reader you know that a few weeksago Aston revealed their first powerboat called the AM37. The luxury vessel has now inspired a bespoke version of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante build, naturally, by the Q department. As you would expect, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Inspired by AM37 is an absolute beauty. That said, with the debut of the new DB11 all the other Astons have started to look kind of old and dated. Not that the DB11 is perfect, but in terms of mode design features that car is like a spaceship compared to these old brutes. Still, we’re pretty sure no one is going complain about the way this baby looks. Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Inspired by AM37 ...

After giving us a thorough, in-depth look at the Mazda MX-5 Miata, it was only natural for SaabKyle to do the same thing with the 2017 Fiat 124 Spider. After all, these cars are archrivals, even though they are basically the same car as far as chassis and ruing gear are conceed. So let’s dive in and check out every subtle little detail that sets the Fiata apart from the Miata. Fiat 124 Spider is supposed to be a manlier version of the MX-5 for those who caot be seen driving that car but still want to enjoy the superb driving experience. But is it really better looking than the Mazda? [embedded content] Fiat 124 Spider Highlights: 1.4-litre turbo four-cylinder engine with MultiAir techno...

Well, it seems that the supremacy of the smug Porsche Panamera Turbo, which has long been the fastest, wildest, most vicious sports sedan, is at an end as the newAlfa Romeo Giulia QV (Quadrifoglio Verde) kicks its Teutonic bottom around the Nurburgring. The Italian car set a lap time of 7:32s which is six seconds quicker than the Porsche. The Alfa Romeo Giulia QV setting the record was driven by the company’s ace test driver Fabio France and it was equipped with the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, proving once again that the manual transmission is a thing of the past. For comparison, a manual QV set a record of 7:39. [embedded content] Via Motor1 Alfa Romeo Giulia QV Highlights: Engi...

We haven’t stopped yet admiring Novitec’s take on the hard-top Ferrari 488, but the Italian tuner has already come up with the open-top version and, well, there is no denying that this one is a lot more awesome. Novitec Rosso Ferrari 488 Spider has pretty much the same specs as the coupe, but the Spideess makes it a much more appealing proposition. Maybe it’s just us, but the carbon fiber aero kit, which is identical to that of the coupe, just looks better on the Novitec Rosso Ferrari 488 Spider. You get a front spoiler lip that sits on the stock bumper and gives it more girth, fairly prominent side skirts, a substantially revised rear diffuser, and a neat and clean boot lid spoiler whi...
