I had to check my calendar while writing this Spec Showdown. That’s because it’s a battle between the all-new Nissan Z and the Toyota GR Supra. I just had to make sure that it wasn’t the 1990s all over again (or else, my laptop should be running on Windows 98)! Indeed, the Z and the Supra have been at it for decades. And with rear-wheel-drive Japanese sports coupes becoming in vogue again, it’s no surprise that the latest iterations of these iconic nameplates get stout powertrains and eye-catchi

The Invencible and Autentica blend past models featuring styling cues derived from the brand’s other V12 machines. Lamborghini also states that the duo took after the Venenon, whic

As reported earlier, Nissan officially debuted the real-world version of its Max-Out electric roadster concept on Feb. 2, 2023. The drop-top two-seater combines the classic sports car silhouette with design cues from the 1980s and the 24th century. The wedge-like profile starts with a blunt nose up front, leading up to an enormous windshield that cuts in the hood. The funky wheels, which have a nice fender gap, appear to be screens.

Despite its deliberate transformation into a more dynamic, modern, and chic luxury brand in the last few decades, Jaguar has yet to outgrow this stigma with its cars.
