250 Years of America: A Brief History of the American Automobile (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The automobile reshaped how Americans lived, worked, traveled, and dreamed. Here are some of the cars that led the way. The United States was barely 110 years old when the automotive age began. As Karl Benz demonstrated his spidery three-wheeled buggy powered by an internal combustion engine to bemused onlookers on the Ringstrasse in Mannheim, Germany, on July 3, 1886, he could have scarcely imagined his rickety contraption would be regarded as the ancestor of the 2.5 billion passenger cars buil
First Drive: China’s $30K Aion UT Has a Secret Most New EV Brands Can’t Match (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The folks behind it have been building Hondas and Toyotas for decades. Ho-hum. Another day, another new Chinese auto brand hits the road. Consumers in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East have become used to a steady drumbeat of new Chinese vehicles from brands no one had heard of just a few short years ago. Never mind BYD and Geely; cars and SUVs from new-wave Chinese brands like Xpeng and Denza, Jaecoo and Omoda, to name but a few, are fast becoming commonplace on roads outside the
Aston Martin's New DBX GT Is the Aston SUV More Rich People Should Buy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With 717 hp, sharper handling, and a quieter cabin, the DBX GT aims to redefine Aston’s luxury super sport SUV and find more buyers in the process. The Aston Martin DBX is something of a conundrum. Aston might have been a latecomer to the game started by Porsche with the Cayenne in 2003 and subsequently adopted by Lamborghini with the Urus and Ferrari with the Purosangue, but the DBX is arguably the best of these big-horsepower, big-buck, sports-car-branded luxury SUVs. It’s fast, good-looking,
The 2007 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Was America's Wildest Answer to the Bugatti Veyron (opens the original)
Read excerpt
750 horsepower, race-car manners, and zero compromises. The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo still feels outrageous. [This story originally appeared in the May 2006 issue of MotorTrend with the headline "Blow Hard."] Irvine, California, isn't Modena, Italy, and Steve Saleen isn't Enzo Ferrari. But that hasn't stopped this Mustang racer-turned-car-builder from creating a 220-mph-plus supercar that's all his own—and all-American, right down to its thundering, mid-mounted 7.0-liter pushrod V-8. Make no mistake
The Ford Interceptor Was a Secret Full-Size Sedan Built to Help Save the Company (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What looked like a flashy concept car was Ford's bold vision for reinventing its performance sedan lineup. [This story originally appeared in the July 2007 issue of MotorTrend with the headline "Mission: Possible."] Press the electrically triggered chrome door handle and the door pops open. The sculpted one-piece leather seats are as stiff as the suspension, and you slide onto them as into a Barcelona chair. A 21st-century "shaker" looms in your view, and the rest of the hood is long and upright
