The SSC Tuatara is not the fastest production vehicle on the planet, at least not yet, officially. After much controversy, the world will get to find out what the Washington-based automaker’s Tuatara supercar can do, again. On Friday night, SSC CEO Jerod Shelby released a video on the company’s YouTube channel stating the Tuatara will

An early tester for Ferrari’s Purosangue SUV has been spotted within the confines of the Italian firm’s Maranello headquarters. It may look like a Maserati Levante that’s been slammed, but there are a number of clues that reveal it as a test mule. For instance, the rear doors are dramatically shorter than on the Levante.

Ferrari engineers have been spotted with a test mule near the automaker’s Maranello headquarters, which is likely to be for the successor to the LaFerrari hypercar.

Jaguar on Tuesday unveiled an updated version of its E-Pace. The compact crossover SUV was already one of the best-looking options in its segment, and for the 2021 model year Jaguar has combined the good looks with a few new tech features in the cabin and under the hood. The E-Pace only arrived for 2018

Automaker badges are important brand symbols, but the physical emblems installed on cars are often ordinary plastic. That’s not the case with Bugatti. The “Macaron” badge that graces the prow of every Bugatti Chiron is made from 150 grams of sterling silver, and takes 10 hours to make, the automaker explained in a press release

Bugatti in recent weeks has been hinting at a model with radical styling and over the weekend we got a major clue in the form of a revealing teaser shot. Bugatti has previously teased the taillights of the car, which were arranged in an “X,” bringing to mind the X-Wing star fighter from “Star Wars,”

America’s SSC reclaimed the title of manufacturer of the world’s fastest production car when its Tuatara hypercar achieved an average speed of 316.11 mph over two runs. As you may have guessed, a lot of planning went into making this happen, which is a story in itself. 2022 GMC Hummer EV Another big news topic

We flew in the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX; SSC broke a world speed record with the Tuatara; and the 2022 GMC Hummer EV was revealed. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority. A Hellcat-powered Ram finally exists and we slid behind the wheel. With 702 horsepower, the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX flew

I’m nervous. Sitting behind the wheel of the new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX atop a 60 foot hill, I can hear my heartbeats thumping inside my helmet. The final directions from the instructor are ringing through my head. “…And you’re going to need to hit that ramp at 55 mph (points), to make it to

Volvo revealed its first fully electric vehicle, the 2021 XC40 Recharge, in October 2019 and on Wednesday we learned the price.

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is already pretty luxurious, but with any vehicle there’s always room to go one step beyond. That’s why Mercedes has its Maybach division which in late 2019 unveiled an extra-plush version of the GLS. The Maybach GLS is due in showrooms toward the end of 2020 as a 2021 model, and pricing

Approaching a row of 2021 Genesis GV80 mid-size crossovers along a Manhattan street, my first impression was that it’s one of the few genuinely handsome SUVs on the market. On Genesis sedans, especially the flagship G90, the brand’s shield-shaped grille comes off as so large it’s cartoonish. On the new GV80, the taller front end

Mercedes-Benz fitted its EQC with a 4×4 package complete with portal axles to preview an electric future for off-roading. Not only does the resulting vehicle look tough, it is also extremely capable. Another tough-looking vehicle this week was Subaru’s one-off WRX STI built for Gymkhana 11. Ken Block’s former rally racing teammate, Travis Pastrana, will

Jim Farley, who replaced Jim Hackett as Ford CEO earlier this year, doesn’t just sell cars. He races them. Farley has been racing vintage cars for more than a decade, and he received permission from executive chairman Bill Ford to continue racing alongside his new responsibilities as CEO. It was probably the second conversation we

The R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R, built from 1999 to 2002, spawned numerous variants, but the V-Spec II Nür is among the most coveted. A virtually new example of this very rare GT-R is for sale, with an asking price of $485,000. Offered through JDM Expo, a Japan-based import/export company, this GT-R is one of just

It’s a common assumption that Millennials and members of Generation Z are less interested in cars than previous generations. But according to Hagerty survey results released last week, these younger drivers are more likely—not less—to want to own a classic car than their parents or grandparents. Of the 10,000 United States drivers surveyed, Gen Z

Virtually every Mercedes-Benz model gets a performance variant these days, but that never would have happened without the Mercedes-Benz 500 E, which turns 30 this year. To commemorate the sport sedan’s birthday, Mercedes released a retrospective on its development. Unveiled at the 1990 Paris International Motor Show, the 500 E was a W124-body mid-size sedan

The 2021 Audi R8 lineup has seen the R8 V10 model replaced by a rear-wheel-drive R8 V10 RWD. The new model is lighter and more affordable than the R8 V10, but it’s also down on power. Ford has demonstrated the overlanding potential of its modern Bronco with a cool concept. Aptly named the Bronco Overland,

The 2021 Ford Bronco Raptor (or Warthog) was spotted; the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette won’t be as rare as expected; and we spent time in the 2020 Aston Martin Vantage. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority. The 2021 Ford Bronco Raptor—or is that Warthog?—was spotted on public roads undergoing what appeared to

The EPA provided the clue, and now it’s coming true. In July, we reported that EPA fuel economy figures published on fueleconomy.gov indicated a rear-drive 2021 Audi R8 was coming to the U.S. Audi confirmed the news on Thursday and revealed that both the coupe and Spyder will get rear-drive models in addition to the

The next and possibly final version of the Pagani Huayra is the track-focused Huayra R, which Pagani CEO and founder Horacio Pagani announced in a video released last week by Autostyle Design Competition, an organization that helps to support up and coming automotive designers. He appears at the 37:00 mark and states that Pagani will

The Jaguar XF has been updated for 2021, receiving a refined look on the outside plus some much-needed updates inside. The updates constitute a mid-cycle refresh for Jaguar’s svelte mid-size sedan, which we’ll see in showrooms later this year. 2021 Jaguar XF You’d have to be a Jaguar die-hard to recognize the changes on the

The new car is coming with carbon-fiber construction, a 650-horsepower supercharged V-8, a central driving position, and a 6-speed gated manual transmission.

We took a spin in the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette; the final Pontiac Fiero ever made has surfaced; and Liftmaster released a fantastic commercial riffing off a classic movie. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority. We went on a road trip in the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette and everywhere we went onlookers gave

August 16, 1988, was a historic, yet melancholy day in Pontiac, Michigan. The Pontiac Assembly Plant, active since its construction in 1927, would shut down forever after the very last Pontiac Fiero, a red V6-powered GT, rolled off the line. After 32 years, this historic car of note, still in its pre-delivery plastic, will join
