One of the top five coolest car ever to come out of Peugeot factories in France, without a doubt, is the 405 Mi16 sports saloon. This child of 90s was a stuer in ever sense, packing a lot more powe...

People keep telling us the horsepower war between German automakers is a thing of the past. How, then, will they explain the new2019 Mercedes-AMG G63, which is more powerful than ever? This mighty offroader now packs an insane 585 horsepower from a 4.0 liter V8. Based on the new generation of the G-Wagen with its cute new lights and fancy interior, the2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 is also the most capable iteration of this car ever built. Zero to 100 km/h takes only 4.5 seconds. That alone is mind-boggling in a car this size. Thelimited maximum speed of 220 km/h, or 240 km/h with the AMG Driver‘s package, is the other astonishing figure, no less than the titanic 850 Nm of torque the engine gener...

Mazda aounced their 2018 Geneva Motor Show lineup today, and the star of the booth appears to be the Mazda6. Geneva will see the European debut of the new and upgraded Mazda6 sedan, plus the world premiere of2019 Mazda6 Tourer, the station wagon version. They are also bringing along a couple of recent concepts. 2019 Mazda6 Tourer is a remarkable car as it makes as already amazing car even better. What we have here is a practical and affordable family car with the sportiness, handling, and quality inherent in all Mazda products. Just about the only thing that might prevent a shopper of station wagons from buying this car is the design. And by that we don’t mean the design is bad. It is ju...

Jaguar and their Classics department have found a brilliant way to make some serious cash, and that is re-making their old legends and selling them for over a million apop to waabecooisseurs. These are cars, mind, you can’t drive on the road. The latest is thisJaguar D-Type race car which has re-entered production 62 years after the last examples were produced 1956. That alone is quite remarkable and makes the newJaguar D-Type race car worth whatever it’s going to cost. But there are other factors making this thing a highly collectible item. For one thing, they are only producing 25 examples,hand-built at Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in Warwickshire. But more important than that is th...

Not to be outdone by American car makers who auctions their special models left and right for charity, McLaren sent a super special 720S tothe Naples Winter Wine Festival (NWWF). This one-of-a-kindMcLaren 720S MSO raised the goodly sum of$650,000 for the Naples Children & Education Foundation. The one-off McLaren 720S MSO auctioned at the event is one of the nicest examples of the supercar created to date by McLaren Special Operations. The highlights of the car includea Nerello Red exterior paint finish (named after the Nerello Mascalese grape from the Mascali area of Castaia, Sicily); a Saddle Brown with Nerello stitching leather interior; and a custom steering wheel featuring leather a...

We were quite intrigued when Wald Inteational, one of the top Japanese tuners of all time, released a preview of their Lexus LC kit. Now this package is ready and it looks magnificent. Of course, if you don’t like the strong Japanese flavor of these kits thenWald Lexus LC is not going to appeal to you. But the fans are going to love it. Wald Lexus LC package, available in Spot Line edition for 500 and 500h models, is a wide body affair. But unlike wide body kits from Germany and America, it is not in-your-face. The whole thing is designed to be subtle and exquisite and sophisticated, words that also describe the design of the car itself. Make no mistake. The styling kit is pretty out the...

There is no question that Wald body kits are among the most extreme one can find for any given make of car. But you may want to think twice before mixing that kit with an equally showy set of rims, because the end result could be way too startling. That, we reckon, is the case with this uniqueWald Rolls-Royce Dawn built in Japan, for Japan. This car is so wrong on so many levels, it almost becomes right again. The first issue with it, of course, is the fact one should not mess with the styling of a Roller. These cars are meant to be bespoke, personalized works of art and should be enjoyed as they are. Then there is the styling of the aftermarket kit itself, which has elements in its more...

Good news for the fans of big, luxurious, over-the-top coupes. The all-newBMW 8 Series Coupe is very close to production now as the Bavarian company dispatches prototypes to race tracks for dynamic testing. This thing, by the looks of things, is going to give the AMG 63 and Bentley Continental GT a good run for their money. We only get to see the overall shape of theBMW 8 Series Coupe in this teaser, but they have included a good deal of pure exhaust noise. The 8 Coupe, as they call it, sounds a lot dirtier than most M cars of recent years, and that’s great. And as for the looks, it’s not like we don’t know what the 8er is going to be like. After all, we have seen this big boy with the C...

German tuner IMSA is known to those who have know a thing or two about the world of high-end tuning as the firm with some of the craziest body kits ever. With their latest project, however, they have gone sensible and focused mainly on performance. The result is thisIMSA Mercedes-AMG S63 which they have re-badged the S720. And there’s a clue as to the kind of power you can expect from this luxurious and classy monster. Don’t get us wrong.IMSA Mercedes-AMG S63 does come with a number of new body components. But these are very subtle and understated compared what we usually expect from this tuner, and their main purpose it to enhance the performance and make the car faster. They do so thro...

Japanese tuner Wald Inteational has finally released a preview of their latest Black Bison package, tailored for the BMW’s flagship sedan. The newWald BMW 7 Series styling package fits both G11 and G12 variants of the 7er which are the short and long wheelbase models respectively. This generation of the 7er has a unique and angry kind of design which seems to respond well to subtle improvements. But that is just what Wald BMW 7 Series is not, at least in its upcoming version. The tuner has done a diet version of this car which we will get to in a minute. What they are previewing here is a full body kit with completely revised bumpers and skirts and some old-fashioned wheels which ma...

Before you get too excited about the prospect of driving the all-new BMW X7Sports Activity Vehicle in teh coming year, we have to point out the first batch is, as the title says, pre-production models. These are basically production cars produced for real-world tests. Thefinal version will be released some time close to the end of 2018. So there is still about a year to go before you can have this ginormous BMW with its massive grilles and narrow eyes which gives it the look of a mutant sea creature. Mind you, the pre-production BMW X7 is still not final final in terms of design, which is why the test units will be heavily camouflaged as they travel around the world, putting the veh...

The new Lamborghini Urus SUV has not received, at least so far, the warm welcome the company was hoping it would. Some don’t like the way it looks. Some aren’t happy with the specs. And to some it is just not extreme enough. If you belong to the latter group, this custom BMW X6M gaished with all sorts of extra goodies may just be what you are after. Prepared by BMW Abu Dhabi’s tuning arm, this X6M features a full assortment of very high-end aftermarket parts. The way they are put together, too, is something to savour, since the parts match each other nicely and create a whole that does not really look aftermarket. It almost fulls you into thinking it’s come out of the factory wearin...

Mercedes-Benz UK aounced the official pricing of the new2018 Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet family. It may seem like odd timing giving the weather right now, but you see they are not taking orders for these bad boys in preparation for the spring 2018 launch. So it’ll all work out. The new S-Cabrio comes out just the weather becomes suitable for alfresco motoring. So let’s see how much the privilege of enjoying the new2018 Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet will cost you. The minimum you have to pay to get into one of these is£115,910. That is the price of the “entry-level” S560 model which replaces the S500 and brings with ita new 4.0-litre biturbo V8 petrol engine. You get469 hp and 700 Nm of ...

We really did not think that something like the Maybach G650 Landaulet could possibly have a rival, but we were wrong. In our defense that is such a niche vehicle, no one would be inclined to invest in making such a thing… no one except the eccentric visionary Afzal Kahn, it tus out. He has just teased theKahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top which is a direct attempt at theLandaulet’s life. On the face of it comparing a wonky Land Rover, which is what Kahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top is based on, to the unique Mercedes G-Class, which is what theMaybach G650 is based on, seems idiotic. Of course the Mercedes is a superior product. But you see, the Hunstman is no ordinary Land Rover. It...

BMW might be losing the extreme offroad game to Mercedes-Benz, but their tuners are not going down without fight. In an effort to give the G-Wagen 4×4² some serious competition Manhart Performance has come up with a hard-core SUV based on the X6M. It’s called Manhart MHX6 Dirt² and it’s a 900-hp monster capable of conquering […] The post Manhart MHX6 Dirt² Is BMW X6M’s Offroad Cousin appeared first on Motorward....

Well here you go, the all-new2019 Lamborghini Urus you have been waiting for the past few years. And isn’t it just… not instantly likable? I’s not bad at all. The Urus is actually as cool and aggressive looking as a Lambo should be, especially if you get the offroad package which comes with different bumpers. It’s just that people have not been kind to it in the one hour it’s been revealed. That statement is based on the comments they have been posting on the social media as Lamborghini streams the unveiling of this model live. Many seem to think2019 Lamborghini Urus is an ugly thing, while some struggle to see the point of an offroader Lambo at all. At any rate, the Urus is he...

Los Angeles Auto Show saw the debut of a refreshed and enhanced version of the popular sedan Mazda6. With improved looks, technologies and features, the new2018 Mazda6 is set to not only continue the success of its predecessor, but best it. And it seems to be well-equipped to do that. If you were expecting radical changes in the design of2018 Mazda6 you are going to be disappointed. The visual upgrades are limited to nip and tuck stuff around the lights and some new trims. But these small modifications do give the 6 a nice fresh look for the new year and make it seem more grown up than before. Thestandard LED headlights now integrate fog lamps so the chrome strips on the bumpers...

Everybody in the car world was waiting to see the newBMW i8 Roadster in production form. And although we have to admit the whole thing was a bit anti-climactic given the build-up, the hybrid sports car is still a hugely desirable thing. The new model, and the latest version of the i8 Coupe, benefit from increased range as well. Theoptimized BMW eDrive powertrain with its turbocharged three-cylinder and electric motors delivers369 hp in theBMW i8 Roadster – and of course the 2018 Coupe, but it’s hard to focus on that with the Roadster in the center of things. That power propels theBMW i8 Coupe from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds while the i8 Roadster accelerates in 4.4 second.Both ...

BMW Abu Dhabi has astounded us on more than one occasion with their extremely exclusively exquisite BMWs. But what they have in store this time takes the cake in terms of beauty and overall excellence. This 2017BMW M760Li Individual is dressed in a very prettyLong Beach Blue and “tricked-out” with some after market parts. That means this 7er is unique on at least three or four levels. First off, there is the fact that it’s a BMW M760Li Individual. Even if we don’t take into account the Individual part, the M760Li is itself a bit of a unico what with that titanic V12 that’s under its boet. The Individual treatment, meanwhile, adds exclusive styling features and equipment inside...

They call it the baddest truck in the world, and they have a point. The Devel Sixty SUV, unveiled at Dubai Auto Show, is almost certainly the craziest thing you have ever seen on, well, six wheels. And the craziest thing about it is they are...
