Driven: 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe
BMW recently invited us to Austin, Texas to drive the new M6 Gran Coupe through the winding roads of the Texas Hill Country and at the Circuit of The Americas. Willing, as we always are, to take one for the team, we accepted.
Driven: 2013 Audi S7
Rule number one of the S7 has to do with where it sits in the world—it is not merely a V-8 variant of the A7 (albeit a biturbocharged V-8 with 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque). That’s a difficult rule to remember, particularly when one looks at Audi’s current lineup.
Update: 2013 BMW 740Li xDrive
Now, we’ve gotten some seat time in a heavily equipped, long-wheelbase, all-wheel-drive 7-Series. So, with the extra length and a beefy all-wheel-drive system, is this 740Li xDrive any less charming than the standard car? No, not really.
Weather, Crashes, Safety Cars Highlight Le Mans 2013

Italian/Chinese design house Icona has revealed its Vulcano supercar in Shanghai.
Update: 2013 Audi S5 Coupe
Swapping out the 4.2-liter from the S5 was not a decision we originally agreed with, even after sampling the 3.0-liter in the S4. The character of this coupe, we felt, demanded a V-8, and anything less would take away from its subtle grand touring qualities. We were wrong.

Video: McLaren Pits A Spider Against A Snowboarder
Were we to drive around on a Colorado mountain during the winter, we’d opt for a Range Rover. Or a Toyota Land Cruiser. Or even an Audi Q7. We would not, however, go for a low-slung, 616-horsepower, convertible supercar. Then again, we aren’t Pikes Peak ace Rhys Millen.
Can A Manual Transmission Save The BMW M5?
George W. Bush, a fierce competitor in the National Malapropism League, once said “Africa is a troubled nation.” Picking up on his lead, we might say, “BMW is a troubled car.” There is perhaps no better example of BMW’s recent struggles than the M5, a car that we want to be good and many of you want to be good, but just really isn’t as good as well all want it to be.
