Putting the utility in sport utility Many of us think of sport-utility vehicles as the ultimate in family transportation: spacious, versatile, with enough ground clearance for rough roads or cottage trails, and often the traction and stability benefits of all-wheel drive. It doesn’t hurt that they’re also stylish and offer a more rugged, outdoorsy image…
After 10 rounds of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season and 10 hours at the season-ending Motul Petit Le Mans, Pfaff Motorsports claimed the inaugural GTD Pro class championship Saturday evening with the No. 9 Driveway Porsche 911 GT3 R. Pfaff Motorsports scored five victories throughout the season, with an additional three podiums to sweep…
Audi is all-in on electric. The company has announced publicly that it is ending development of gasoline and diesel engines by 2026, and plans to be an all-electric brand by 2032. All-electric Audi models such as the original e-tron and swift e-tron GT sedan, have been rolling out since 2019, but the new Q4 e-tron,…
So here we are. The Artura, McLaren’s first hybrid sports car. A car that, I have to say, I’ve been eagerly awaiting since they announced it, with an all-new powertrain. My inner engineer has been hungry for an all-new powertrain from McLaren since the 4.0-litre unit found in the 720S. A lot of people give…
GTS. For Porsche fans, these three letters mean a lot. Whichever model you are looking at – the Cayenne and Macan SUVs, the Panamera sedan, or the 718 and 911 sports cars – the GTS models are often the sweet spot. They are an enticing combination of extra performance, sporty styling details, upgraded interiors, and…
Sometimes, I think BMW doesn’t get enough credit for how forward-thinking it is. The brand has often courted controversy with out-there styling that broke classical moulds – only to have the rest of the industry follow in its footsteps in subsequent years. BMW was the first to bring a big screen to vehicle dashboards, unifying…

Initial coverage of the all-electric BMW iX was concentrated around its controversial looks. Built on the same styling elements as the somewhat more compact iNext concept car, the iX definitely doesn’t look like any BMW you’ve ever seen on the road. Its one-box shape, giant “grille” elements and skinny lights make it a very different…
Audi’s e-tron, one of the original premium German electric vehicles, has a new sibling called sportback. Substituting a sleek, teardrop-shaped side profile for the more practical boxy SUV shape, the e-tron sportback sure is a looker, especially in S Line trim, with a blacked-out front “grille,” giant 22-inch wheels, and orange brake calipers. As you…
Volkswagen isn’t new to electric cars. In fact, as far back as 2014, the German brand was selling an electric Golf in Europe, with the E-Golf launching in North America in 2017. But, given that car’s relatively limited range, and the fact that it was a car when most new-vehicle buyers want an SUV, the…
