I've always maintained that Italian and American fusion is the best automotive formula. American cars with Italian design, Italian cars with American engines, there are so many captivating cars that fit this framework, and they all remain among my fa
AMG has shared a long relationship with Mercedes-Benz as their dedicated performance arm, but their affiliation only became official as recently as 1999. AMGs built before this partnership hold a special place in the automotive timeline, as they we
Cadillac's slogan throughout the better part of their history was "The Standard of the World," and the 1957 Series 70 Eldorado Brougham is easily the best embodiment of this ethos. Something of a halo car for its era, the Eldorado Brougha
I finally got to see the Celestiq in person, Cadillac's bold and ambitious break into the upper stratosphere of electric luxury cars. Its presence in the metal is undeniably spectacular. Cadillac has been long overdue for a modern full-size sedan, a
On a clear, crisp day in 1989, the Nürburgring, affectionately (or infamously) nicknamed "The Green Hell" is rocked by a brilliant flash of yellow. Thirteen miles and 157 corners of the world's longest and most daunting race track are
A track-focused sports car may seem like an odd proposition for Bugatti given their current portfolio of powerful, indulgent, admittedly hefty hypercars. However, like many modern supercar companies in their very early years, Bugatti was a powerhouse
Before Henrik Fisker attempted to build his own cars, he was designing them. Rather well, I might add. Fisker has not enjoyed an especially great experience as a manufacturer. The nameplate has technically been attached to two different companies, F
Aston Martin really knows how to name their cars. The new Valour celebrates Aston Martin's 110th anniversary, and is a striking homage to the 1977 V8 Vantage. It also bears a strong resemblance to the Aston Martin Victor, launched in 2020, as well
The V8 Vantage is essentially the archetype for what we know Aston Martin for today, reinforced by the fact that this nameplate is still part of their current production line. It also adds context to how radical the Bulldog concept was by comparison,
Aston Martin's foray into mid-engined performance cars is a great departure from the brawny, beautiful grand-touring coupes we best know them for, but these aspirations aren't exactly new. The 1970s was the era of the wedge. These edgy, geometric d
Is it possible to be completely objective when discussing the newest car from my favorite manufacturer, or is the Pagani Utopia indeed the most marvelous, whimsical, and astonishing car ever built? Pagani has always been unmatched in their baroque a
Whether or not electric cars are indeed the next big step in automotive propulsion, I think the hypercar realm is the best place to showcase such technology. The power benefits of electric drivelines cannot be ignored, and it's exciting to see new me
The Lamborghini Temerario will be the company's new entry level model, if there ever was such a thing in this sphere. This baby bull goes, however, goes in a very different direction with its role. The Huracan it replaces, and the Gallardo before tha
In case I haven't waxed poetic enough about Pagani, allow me to yet again share why they are among my favorite manufacturers ever. Founded by Horacio Pagani, a man who was too ambitious for Lamborghini to handle, his eponymous company embodies the
Since their founding in 1930, Pininfarina has built and maintained a legacy as one of the most important and honored designers in history. Their expertise extends well beyond the automotive realm, as Pininfarina has also been involved with architectu
Nobody has mastered marketing better than Big Tobacco, likely because no other industry is challenged the same way. No industry has to work harder to convince you to purchase their product, one that can cause a myriad of health issues and only has li
Bugatti's Type 57 chassis is simply one of the finest pre-war cars ever built. Combining their experience in motorsport with their reputation for precision engineering and decadent luxury, the Type 57 remains the template for what Bugatti is best kno
Unless you're a particularly discerning enthusiast, Alpine may not be as immediately recognizable as other marques, however they too enjoy a history full of fascinating cars and riveting motorsport victories.  Since their founding in 1955, Alpi
The 1960s is arguably where Alfa Romeo's current trajectory started. At the very least, it represents the era and philosophy Alfa Romeo intends to capture in its flagship models today. The original Giulia was both a stylish and engaging drivers' ca
Alfa Romeo may be a far cry from the company it started as 125 years ago, but their history is full of the same innovation, legends, and victories we celebrate in manufacturers like Ferrari. In fact,Enzo Ferrari himself founded his eponymous racing t
