Aston Martin DB12 S Volante: Can a $300K Convertible Be the Rational Choice? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We don’t need to tell you the Aston Martin DB12 S Volante is achingly beautiful. Drive it, and you discover that it’s also absurdly powerful and enviably luxurious. And yes, it’s eyewateringly expensive at $319,000. Yet what if we told you it was also a rational purchase? Granted, it’s not the three-year-depreciated Toyota Corolla that Dave Ramsey might tout. But on its own elevated plane—one where 200-mph droptops comfortably seat two and cost as much as an Ivy League education—the DB12 S Volan
Gordon Murray Strikes Again with the S1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gordon Murray, the engineering luminary behind the McLaren F1, is not slowing down. His current firm, Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), has already produced the T.50, sort of a modern-day take on the F1, and the Sixties-inspired T.33. As if those cars weren't special enough, last year he created Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV), which he says allows for more creative freedom to play with ultra-low production cars. Last year at The Quail, Gordon Murray Automotive introduced the first two such
The Defender Dakar Is the Most Extreme Land Rover Yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You already knew the Land Rover Defender is a highly capable off-roader. To prove just how capable it can be, Land Rover entered three race-prepped Defenders, dubbed D7X-R, in this year’s Dakar rally in the Stock class, coming away with first-, second-, and fourth-place finishes. But since motorsports glory can be fleeting, what better way to capitalize on it than to bring the race winner to showrooms? That’s the impetus behind the Defender Dakar. This concept takes inspiration from the D7X-R, w
Brabus Bodo Cabriolet Promises 223-MPH Wind in Your Hair (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three months after announcing the Bodo coupe as its first coachbuilt automobile, the German firm Brabus takes the wraps off the equally dramatic Bodo Cabriolet. Like the hardtop, the Bodo Cabriolet is an impossibly long and sleek grand tourer with seating for four. And although Brabus is best known for customizing and upgrading Mercedes-Benz automobiles, both Bodo models are based on the Aston Martin Vanquish, the British firm’s grandest grand tourer. Under the long hood sits Aston’s twin-turboc
Here’s Your First Look Inside the Production Jaguar Type 01 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You had to know the interior of the Jaguar Type 01, the company’s new brand-redefining EV, would ditch the English drawing-room look long associated with the brand. Indeed, the just-revealed four-seat cabin borrows nothing from Jaguars of the past. The minimalist appearance, with straight lines and little in the way of switchgear, is prevalent in many current EVs, from Teslas to Volvos. Within that aesthetic, however, Jaguar stakes out some new territory with the Type 01. The repeating theme is
