Yes, Please! New 911 GT3 RS Debuts
Yes, Please! New 911 GT3 RS Debuts

At $224k, the GT3 RS ain’t cheap, but try to think of another car that does what this does for less.  We’re pretty sure you can’t think of a car that is better for less, so we’d say the 911 GT3 RS qualifies as good value.

Nissan Sports Sedan Concept Points Toward the Next Maxima

Earlier this week at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, Nissan showed off their latest design study in the form of the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept. Part of a retooling effort of the brand’s overall style, the Sport Sedan Concept is likely a thinly veiled teaser of the design cues we should expect to see in the next Maxima.

Toyota Unveils FT-1 Concept Stunner at NAIAS

Created over the course of nearly two years by enthusiast designers at Toyota’s Calty Design Research facility in Newport Beach, California, the FT-1, or Future Toyota 1, represents Toyota’s vision of the ultimate high-performance sports car. While Toyota isn’t being explicit about it, there’s also a strong possibility that the FT-1 is also Toyota’s vision for the next Supra.

Preview: 2015 Subaru WRX STI

When we drove the standard WRX in November of last year, we found it to be a great road car with incredible handling capabilities, but it perhaps lacked a little something in the sex appeal department. With the new STI model, Subaru looks to increase the WRX’s performance capabilities even more, and make the WRX more of a head turner while they’re at it.

Preview: 2015 Ford F-150

Ford’s venerable full-size has been the best selling pickup truck in the United States for more than four decades. While altering a winning formula is almost always risky endeavor, with mounting fuel efficiency standards looming, Ford had no choice but to shake things up significantly for the all-new 2015 F-150. Fortunately, it appears the engineers and bean counters did their homework on this one, as the new F-150 looks to be a big step forward for Ford’s full-size.

Riding the line between a hardtop and a convertible, Porsche’s newest iteration of the 911 Targa made its debut today at the Detroit Auto Show. Maintaining the traditional 911 silhouette while still providing the wind-in-the-air thrills of an open top roadster, the newest Targa comes packing a few tricks up its sleeve.

Today at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, General Motors unveiled the C7 Corvette Z06. The new track-focused Corvette boasts a stunning new carbon fiber aero kit which only hints at the performance potential held within. In fact, according to GM, the new Z06 will be the most capable and fastest road-going Corvette they’ve ever produced, besting even the previous generation’s ZR1.

Preview: 2015 Audi TT

Set to debut in the 2014 calendar year, the new Audi TT is setting its sights squarely on the Porsche 911 this time around. Riding on an all-new and lighter platform to go along with its roster of engines due for a freshening, including the especially-potent 380 horsepower unit used in the TT RS, dreams of going toe to toe with Porsche’s nearly untouchable sports car might not be pipe dreams anymore.

Kia GT4 Stinger concept Headed to Detroit

This year’s North American International Auto Show is shaping up to be quite a feast for automotive enthusiasts. While the usual suspects like the Ford, GM and Chrysler are expected to have a bevy of new high-profile performance offerings on hand, the 2014 show in particular has a dance card filled with interesting new product.

Preview: 2015 Lexus RC F

Back in November at the Tokyo Motor Show, Lexus unveiled the production-ready RC Coupe. While the RC Coupe certainly looked the business, with a choice of either a 314 hp V6 or a 2.5-liter Lexus Hybrid Drive system, RC and IS chief engineer Junichi Furuyama stated at the time that the RC Coupe was designed to ”deliver extra response that exhilarates rather than overwhelms drivers”. At the time, we took that as an indication that this new coupe might end up being a lot more show than go. Fortunately, it turns out that the overwhelming level of performance was being reserved for another variant of the new coupe: the RC F.
