BERLIN – Electrified cars from plain hybrids to full-electric cars had some impressive sales numbers for 2021. Conventional, non-plug-in hybrids outsold diesel cars in Europe for the first time in 2021, albeit by just 48 vehicles, data showed on Wednesday. One in 11 cars sold were fully electric, the data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ […]

This test is an interesting one because the two cars aren’t exactly direct competitors. Even the base-spec Porsche Taycan is almost $20,000 more expensive than the top-of-the-line BMW i4 M50. However, the Taycan is a from-the-ground-up EV, while the i4 M50 is built on the 4 Series Gran Coupe chassis. However, the base-spec Taycan will

With the rise of Radwood, cars with exaggerated characteristics associated with the 1980s and 1990s are cool again. That means some combination of pastel and/or neon colors, squiggly squeezed-from-toothpaste-tube graphics, nonfunctional decklid spoilers, giant TURBO badging, and kicky youth-centric nomenclature are required if you want your wheels to be considered in compliance with the sacred

Carroll Shelby’s touch still lingers to grace the auction fates of vintage racers rarely spoken of in conjunction with his name. Last August, it was RM Sotheby’s offering a Ruddspeed Ace, the English roadster that served as archetype for Shelby’s Cobra. Next month, at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, Gooding & Co will put a

Since its debut, the BMW 1 Series M has sort of always been the plucky underdog. Built from M Division scraps, using a standard BMW N55 engine, and being based on one of BMW’s more unusual looking cars of the era, the 1 Series M seemed like it was doomed from the beginning. However, the

Easily one of the most beautiful BMWs ever made, the ALPINA Roadster V8 is a car that needs no introduction. Only 555 were ever made, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that prices have rocketed in recent years. Now is one of the last opportunities to buy a practically unused car since it has
