The baby M car is all grown up
BMW has given its baby M car a helluva lot of horsepower. Meet the brand-new-and not-really-a-baby-anymore-BMW M2 CS, a two-door, rear-wheel-drive German sports coupe with 526hp. Five hundred and twenty-six!That'

Another one bites the dust: The V8-powered Lexus RC F has been killed off. Lexus Japan has confirmed it'll be given the global chop in November, with these 2025 'Final Edition' cars the last chance to own a naturally
It features 3.0 CSL Batmobile-styled livery
You've got to be brave to bring out a styling kit for a modern BMW claiming that you took inspiration from the legendary E30 M3 DTM racer, but we reckon Zacoe Performance might just have nailed it with this one.Zacoe'

Peak output is now at 474hp, for a 0-100kph time of 4sec
At no point in Top Gear's custody of a baby-blue BMW M2 did we once think, "Hmm, bit underpowered-could use another 20-odd horses and more torque." BMW has clearly thought about it more than once, because it's

In US-only Supra news, Toyota is releasing a limited edition of the GR86 for the 2024 model year. The two-tone Trueno Edition takes its name from the iconic '80s AE86 Corolla-also known as the Corolla Sport GT-S and

Boo
So, we've just found out that Toyota has: a) put a modified version of its brilliant turbo three-cylinder into the Toyota GR86, b) has screwed more than 300hp out of it, and c) is going racing with it. Oh, and

The new Alpina B4 Gran Coupe is a rather big deal. It's the first car that the stupendously cool German tuner has unveiled since the news broke that it'd been bought out by the BMW Group.Happily, though, the ownership

But the car still looks good so we're not complaining
What's that, you say? You want news of a special-edition V8? Well, it just so happens that we've taken delivery of such news very recently.It arrives in the shape of the Lexus LC, now in its seventh year

What would happen if Porsche wedged the 493hp, high-revving 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six from the 911 GT3 into the Cayman? Well...this.With Porsche's pure electric future beckoning and naturally aspirated gasoline engines on the way out,

The only downside is that grille, again...
This is like a regular BMW 4-Series coupe, but as the name implies, you can put your Gran in the back. Versus the two-door car, it has another pair of doors and a hatchback.In a 4-Series two-door,

As if we needed a new reminder that we're already halfway through yet another throwaway year, here comes Toyota with some 2022 model-year launches-but at least they might offer us the comforting thought of better days ahead. How's
It does the nil-to-century sprint in 3.5sec
BMW has a penchant for throwing M3 curveballs, and here's the latest-albeit less surprising-effort. This is the new four-wheel-drive BMW M3 (and M4) offering what can be sensibly described as...startling pace.Officially called the M3 Competition

How well does the newcomer fare against its more established rivals?
Believe it or not, it's five years since Porsche lopped two cylinders from its base Cayman, tacked on a 718 badge to evoke some history, and ignited the bottom half of the Internet in the process. A lot has happened since
Glass half-empty or half-full?
It's a big moment. The first BMW M4 was a hit. Those of us who geek out over the lineage of performance cars saw the renaming of the two-door M3 as a bit of an affront. Meanwhile, those who actually
You’re looking at the new Supra Jarama Racetrack Edition
We like the color options available for the Toyota Supra. The iconic red looks fantastic, and so do the bright yellow and metallic white finishes. But we're crushing on a new look on the Supra: This Horizon Blue finish pictured here.
It’s handles more sharply than the 3.0, but...
It's the Toyota Supra, both hero and villain of the Internet comments section. Rarely has a car stirred up so much debate, the return of the Supra badge-in the same joyously graphic font worn by its iconic '90s forebear-whipping
It’s got a face only its designers could love
The 4-Series coupe is a 3-Series sedan on dress-down Friday. Two doors, a lower roofline, and a hunkered-down center of gravity meet the peerless powertrains from BMW's class-leading four-door. What used to be called the

Meet the RS5 Ascari and Black Optic
The new Audi RS5 hasn't even turned a year old yet, and it's already getting some updates. Well, in the US, that is. Both Coupe and Sportback variants of this premium sports sedan just landed in that market, and along

That's 290kph. And even that is still electronically limited. Unfettered, and on the right tires, it'd go faster still. That's what's possible when the horsepower figure begins with a 5.There are two settings for engine sound. They
