Compared: 911R vs 911 GT3 Touring - Looking Beyond What Meets the Eye
Jason Camisa beautifully articulated the fact that before the 911 R, VW’s typically German mentality dominated the cars that came out of Stuttgart. As a result, they were getting faster around tracks and quicker to 60 mph, all while losing the soul and essence that one desires from a sportscar like the 911. The regular 911s weren’t designed by engineers or purists anymore but by the accountants and board members who solely cared about sales figures. This is why the 911 R was such a big kick in the rear for that lot when it was met with unparalleled demand. This was a similar story for the 991.1 Speedster and every special Porsche with a stick shift and naturally aspirated engine.
This Is How The Second-Gen Range Rover Sport Stacks Up Against Its New, Third-Gen Avatar
The all-new 2023 Range Rover Sport finally broke cover a couple of days ago. After what was close to a decade in service, the old Sport was really in need of a complete overhaul and that is exactly what this third-gen model promises to be. An all-new Sport from the ground up.
Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica - the Spiritual Successor to the Gallardo Balboni
The Huracan is nearing the end of its life cycle, and the tradition at Lamborghini dictates that the last few years are reserved for special editions - a bucketload of them. A case in point is the Aventador that recently added its "final" iteration to the lineup with the Aventador Ultimae. Huracan’s predecessor, the Gallardo, was put through a similar regime after its nine-year production run. And now, Lamborghini has introduced the 11th iteration of the Huracan with the Tecnica.

All The Differences Between Nissan Z Sport and Performance Trims
By now, you’re probably tired of hearing about the Nissan Z. We know it’s out and we know (or at least hope) it’s going to be the bargain performance car everyone was waiting on. With that said, there are two trims (not counting the limited-edition Proto) - Sport and Performance. John Raiti, from Raiti’s Rides, helps us discuss the differences between the two Nissan Z trims - there are more of them than you think, so feel free to check them out below.
Did Kia Take A Dig At SMART With The Latest Niro?
Kia took the wraps off of its 2023 Niro, and folks got an up-close look at the crossover, at the recently held 2022 New York Auto show. One of the most striking aspects of the new Niro has to be its design. I have to admit, the 2023 Niro is a breath of fresh air in the crossover space, where most manufacturers - if not all - are stepping over themselves with a heavy dose of body cladding and roof rails to show off the vehicle’s so-called ‘Off-road’ credentials.
The Nissan Z May Not Be The GR Supra Slayer Everyone Makes It Out To Be
The 2023 Nissan Z is one of the most anticipated performance cars to roll out in recent times. With the first batch hitting the showrooms in June 2022, everyone is excited about the car that’s gearing up to beat the Toyota GR Supra into submission. And, while the Nissan Z may sound like more of a sports car bargain than the GR Supra, here are a few reasons why not everything is as good as it seems on paper.
Deus Vayanne Is An Amalgamation Of Some Of The Greatest Supercars Ever Made - Inspiration or Plagiarism?
The Deus Vayanne was introduced at the 2022 New York Auto Show, with a limited production run of 99 units, scheduled to commence in 2025. The first Austrian car in a long time will come with 2,200 horsepower, making it the most powerful EV, yet. Its design was executed by Italdesign and to no surprise, it is gorgeous. However, automotive design has become somewhat repetitive and the Vayanne features numerous design cues, we recognize from other existing supercars. Here are all the design elements that the Deus Vayanne has “plagiarized” from other models.
2023 Lotus Eletre vs 2022 Tesla Model X
Disguised as Type 132, the Eletre (pronounced as El-etra), is the British luxury sports car manufacturer’s newest and first take on the SUV market. It is a “hyper-SUV” that is destined to take down the “ludicrous” Tesla Model X, but can it really? Although the Lotus is yet to provide complete information about the Eletre, we are going to compare them side-by-side, so you can be the judge.
GR Corolla vs GR Yaris Power-To-Weight Ratio Compared
Toyota just took the wraps off their all-new 2023 GR Corolla and things look pretty good on paper. Compared to the competition, it’s got some really potent hardware that promises a good time both on the road and on a track, for hopefully not much money. Having said that, how does it compare to its own little brother purely on the basis of power-to-weight ratio? Well, I did some number crunching, and here’s what I found.
Lotus Urus Or Lamborghini Eletre; Confused? Not Any More...
Lotus just took the wraps off its first-ever crossover SUV, the Eletre and it’s not just an EV, but it also happens to be the world’s first-ever hyper-SUV. Now, if at first glance you thought this looked an awful lot like Lamborghini Urus, well, you’re not alone.
While there will be many future comparisons between this Hyper-SUV and other super-SUVs over time, here’s a proper side-by-side comparison of the Lotus Eletre and the Lamborghini Urus purely based on their exterior designs.
Here’s Why The Mazda 3 Turbo May Be a Better Alternative To The 2023 Acura Integra
Japanese carmakers seem to be on a roll as many exciting models are coming out in 2022. Among them is the 2023 Acura Integra, which was highly anticipated by enthusiasts. While Acura claims to be a performance luxury brand, the new Integra was a bit of a letdown. That’s because everyone expected a two-door coupe with the Type-R engine instead of a re-bodied Honda Civic. With this in mind, another Japanese model is already present in the compact, luxury segment – the Mazda 3 – and here’s why it may be a better option.

The Nissan GT-R seems to be an unending topic, just like its production cycle. Debuted in 2007, the R35 GT-R is now in its 15th year – longer than the previous three GT-R generations together.

Ford F-150 Lightning vs Chevrolet Silverado EV – Full-size Pickup Truck Rivalry Renewed!
It seems like Chevrolet was in no hurry to roll out the Silverado EV. It came out nearly eight months after Ford launched the F-150 Lightning.

There are many new automakers that start their electric car journey with fast cars or electric supercars.

Here’s a list of the eight fastest electric cars in the world today that are in the production stage or about to enter production. Some of these fast cars are from mainstream automakers, some from established EVmakers, and some from new start-ups.

Retro JDM Comparison: Toyota Supra Vs Nissan 300ZX Vs Mazda RX-7
