Review: Sibling rivalry: Cadillac Blackwings pit power versus precision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My history with Cadillac’s fastest sedans includes one of the more terrifying moments I’ve experienced on a racetrack. At Wisconsin’s Road America in 2015, Cadillac engineers told us we would run out of courage long before the brakes on the then-new CTS-V ran out of capability. Naturally, I decided to test the theory. Hurtling down the long front straight at more than 258 kilometres an hour, I hit the brakes as late as I dared, which was, unfortunately, just as the CTS-V went light over a bump.
Review: ‘We engineer feelings’: For Lotus, the reason for continuing with the Emira is straightforward (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The last time I drove a Lotus was in 2011, when the British sports-car maker was owned by Malaysia’s Proton and the car in question was the Evora S. At the time, the car seemed a reasonable performer, but its Toyota engine and transmission did not help from an image perspective. The shape was exotic, but some of the hardware was pedestrian. Fair or not, the connection diminished the car. Fast-forward 15 years and Lotus is now controlled by China’s Geely Holding, with Malaysia’s Etika Automotive
From apples to apexes: Premier racing simulation venue in rural Ontario looks to redefine driver development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before learning the correct racing lines and braking points to power around your favourite circuit at Ontario’s new premier racing simulation venue, you must walk among the apple trees. Nestled in the rolling hills and gravel roads of Kimberley, Ont., about 30 minutes southwest of Collingwood, Paddock Motorsports Simulation sits on a former cider-producing farm. The barn housing these high-tech machines looks, at first glance, more suited to a fall wedding than a lap at Le Mans. There is no neon
Review: The Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider PHEV is a 1,036-horsepower Michael Bay movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s the thing about test-driving a ridiculously fast car on public roads: You invariably come away wanting. More time behind the wheel, less traffic, fewer photo-radar cameras – in other words, more freedom. A recent Ferrari event brought me to Tenerife, the volcanic Spanish island in the Atlantic off the coast of North Africa. There would be no racetrack component, just three-and-a-half hours alone with the new 849 Testarossa Spider and a route that ran from the coast toward the heights of E
