With car prices only going up and modern cars being more artificial than their older counterparts, finding a car that is a real treat for car enthusiasts and at a reasonable price is becoming increasingly difficult. However, we are happy to report that there is still hope for us enthusiasts who are looking for a good deal, and this 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser is as quirky as it is dependable. Moreover, it is a modern classic, inspired by the original Land Cruiser FJ40, so prices are only going to go up.

The Mercedes EQS is already on sale as the brand’s EV equivalent to the Mercedes S-Class. The EQS is currently being offered in five different flavors, two of which are AMG variants. Power ranges from 288 horsepower in the base EQS 350 to 761 horsepower in the AMG EQS 53. We recently got the chance to drive the Mercedes EQS 580, which is the most powerful version of the EQS before you step up to the AMG models. I’m here to tell you that it’s better that you’d expect.

The British automotive industry has spawned some great and not-so-great vehicles, some of which are more known than others. The Bristol Fighter was certainly one of the more obscure propositions, which is a shame as it comes from a storied British company that started as an airplane manufacturer. The Bristol Fighter has many interesting quirks and features as well as interesting facts surrounding it, and we are going to share them with you.

It’s been just a few days since Bentley announced the Bentayga EWB, the fifth model in the lineup, next to theBentayga Speed, the Bentayga S, the Bentayga V8, and the Bentayga Hybrid.
Ever since its launch, we knew that Bentley would also offer a First Edition model, but it’s only today when we got more details on this special version.

This version will only be offered in the first 12 months of orders, and, according to Bentley it will "combine many of the most desirable options available for the car."

Another day, another broken record. A legendary, 1955 Mercedes 300 SLR was recently sold at an auction in Germany, for the record price of €135 million, which equals $142.9 million at current exchange rates. This makes the 300 SLR the most expensive car in the world, easily dethroning the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, which was sold for $78.0 million back in 2018.

Ever wondered what a true-blooded American muscle car can do on an open stretch of highway with no speed limits? Well, the following videos that I’ve put together will give you an idea of what exactly it feels like to go flat out on the German Autobahn. The cars in question aren’t your base- or mid-spec models, but some of the most potent versions from the big three with proper burly V-8s under the hood.

A new SUV joins Mazda’s current line-up, and it is an essential model for the Japanese brand. The CX-50 is not entirely based on the already popular CX-5, but has a lot of similarities, like the powertrains and the cabin components. Things that make the CX-50 special are its aggressive stance, ruggedness, better cabin space, improved off-road capabilities, and towing capacity. In simpler words, it will go head-to-head with the Hyundai Tucson, the Toyota RAV4, and the Subaru Outback. For the powertrain choices, like always, you will have the CX-50 with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-pot, and a turbocharged version of the same. Both are quite potent and will drive all four wheels by default. The new CX-50 is selling side-by-side with the CX-5, but the former is much better in terms of overall looks, is more compliant for off-roading, and is slightly bigger. So, should you consider the CX-50 without comparing it to its prime rivals? Well, here’s your answer.

With a starting price of $186,350, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S doesn’t come cheap, but for that money, you get some impressive performance. It’s one of the fastest electric sedans on the market today and is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds. Obviously, the performance credentials are in place, but could it look better? Brabus certainly thinks so, and that’s the focal point of its latest package of the Porsche Taycan Turbo and Turbo S.

Since 2015, Lamborghini has competed in various series for GT3-specification cars where it accumulated more than 40 titles and some unique achievements. It is the only manufacturer in the world that won the legendary 24 Hours at Daytona three times in a row (It happened between 2018 and 2020). The company also has its own Super Trofeo series around the world. As of 2024, however, Lamborghini will compete in both the FIA World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTP class. Of course, its job won’t be very easy, as it will have to face tough competition from automakers like Porsche and Cadillac.

The hype around the 2023 Nissan Z has been immense ever since the Z-Proto broke cover a couple of years ago. It is obviously a big deal for the Japanese automaker as it moves the Z story forward. With prices announced earlier last week and production underway, expect to begin seeing the new Z over the course of the summer.

This is, of course, the coupe that I’m referring to. But, what about a potential convertible? Shouldn’t that be the next obvious step for Nissan to consider? These exclusive renders were done by rostislav_prokop for our sister site, Hotcars, should give you an idea of what a potential Z Roadster could look like.

Following the footsteps of the M3 CSL from almost two decades back and the M4 GTS that came out six years back, BMW has launched its latest special edition model, the M4 CSL. For the longest time, it was a well-kept secret, but in recent times, we had spied it a few times and had an idea of how it looked on the outside and the inside. Fast forward to the present day, the M4 “Competition, Sport, Lightweight" is finally here.

The M4 CSL comes with a lot of tweaks when compared to the M4 Competition. It makes 40 extra horses, features an aggressive suspension tune, carbon-ceramic brakes, ultra-high performance tires, and is 240 pounds lighter. The M4 CSL is limited to just 1,000 examples worldwide and costs $139,900; nearly twice as much as the M4 Competition. Is it worth the extra price?

Last year Mansory announced the F8XX kit based on the Ferrari F8 Tributo. This year the tuner took a step forward and came up with the F9XX - an even more impressive update offered for the Ferrari SF90. It can be applied to both coupe and spider body styles, and while its main purpose is to offer increased performance, it also improves every aspect of the exterior and the interior of the SF90.

The Audi Q5 is one of the most popular SUVs in the automaker’s portfolio. Like most cars worldwide, the Q5 will also be transitioned into an EV a few years from now. But, before that, the SUV will go under the knife and come out in a fresh avatar in what would be the last generational update given to the internal combustion-engined Q5. The next-gen Q5, which will be the third generation, has been spotted testing in the Alps, and from what we can decipher, it will get a hefty redesign.
