When I saw the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time, at the age of seven, my fate as a car guy was sealed. Cars were already at the center of my life: Dad worked at Chevrolet in Flint, and his dad ran the Texaco gas station in my rural hometown. I was […]

It is no cosmic coincidence that the first practical automobile and the first motion picture came into being within three years of each other. Both the 1885 Benz Patent-Motorwagen and Louis Le Prince’s 1888 3-second film of his family on vacation, known as Roundhay Garden Scene, were sibling offspring of the Industrial Revolution. The same […]

In 1989, the boutique German car manufacturer RUF released a 20-minute movie to promote a 200-mph version of the Porsche 911 Turbo called the CTR. The car world knew the machine by its nickname: Yellowbird. The film, called Faszination on the Nürburgring, was the first of its kind, showcasing driver Stefan Roser hooning the Yellowbird […]

You know what “silly season” is, right? For those who don’t, it’s a usually harmless, seemingly annual phenomenon that occurs in sports—NASCAR, for example—around the time the current season begins to wind down and talk turns to next year. Often, peculiar things happen that may seem silly on the surface, but are destined to affect […]

The spirit of the 1940s Jeep Willys lives on in the Wrangler, which is now well into its fourth generation. Jeep has hinted that it could launch a second Willys-inspired model that would take the form of a small, electrified SUV designed for European markets. Speaking on the sidelines of the 2026 Paris auto show, […]

At some point along the ten-hour journey I was taking just to get my carburetors tuned, I wondered: Where is the line between perseverance and obsession? The car in need was my 1975 Ferrari Dino GT4, the star-crossed restoration project that I’ve been documenting in the pages of Hagerty Drivers Club magazine for five years. […]

Avec Millésime, c'étaient les BMW M qui étaient à l'honneur pour fêter leurs anniversaires et elles étaient bien entourées.

Tesla first started hinting at a replacement for its very first model—the Lotus Elise-based Roadster—in the early 2010s. In late 2017, the company unveiled a concept version. A much more ambitious car than the original, this Roadster came with typical over-the-top Elon Musk claims like 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, 250-mph top speed, and a 620-mile […]

The other day, I had an urge to drive a Studebaker. I looked over at my Lark, still in its disassembled state, and realized that I’m still on the hook for welding in some floor patches. I’m also still waffling on whether it needs a T5 stick-shift transmission swap. That’s going to be a negotiation […]

Putting together something as complex as an automobile can be intimidating for many, and it’s hard to blame them. There are so many parts and pieces, and it’s not always immediately clear which bits are the critical linchpin in a system and which are perfectly acceptable to use in a “good enough” condition. While this […]

At this year’s EyesOn Design car show, held annually at the home of Edsel and Eleanor Ford in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan, I spotted a 1973 Mercedes-Benz 600 “Pullman” six-door limousine from the collection of Samuel and Dena Lombardo. Also known as the Großer (“Grosser”) Mercedes, the 600 Pullman is a magnificent automobile that, in […]

Porsche’s much-anticipated mid-engined two-seat Mission S concept car just broke cover at an event in New York. Like the Mission E before it, which previewed the production Taycan EV, this “super sports car” won’t remain a concept for long. Porsche was careful with how it characterized the Mission S in its press release: “Above the […]

With the much-anticipated (and many times delayed) Tesla Roadster finally debuting today, there’s a new kid on the EV sports car block. It’s not a very large or heavily populated block. It’s certainly not a cheap block, either. But if we turn back the clock almost 20 years, there weren’t any electric sports cars on […]

Barely two months after a 1996 F50 set a record for Ferrari’s F1-derived supercar, another contender for the title of World’s Most Expensive F50 has appeared: A 106-mile example headed to Broad Arrow’s auction at the Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday, October 31. Any Ferrari supercar with a naturally aspirated V-12 is going to get […]

As I sat with my brothers on the top tier of the grandstands at Watkins Glen during this year’s Hilliard Vintage Grand Prix, the Jaguars, Lotuses, Corvettes, and Mustangs whipping through the corner before us took me back. I remembered when I was a kid watching silent, flickering home movies of my dad driving a […]

Formula 1 is returning to Africa after a decades-long hiatus. Rwanda will host the African Grand Prix for 10 years starting in the early 2030s, and the race will be held on a new track being designed and built near Rwanda’s capital specifically for the event. Shown above in an official rendering, the new track […]

Bonhams était bien présent en Belgique avec sa traditionnelle Zoute Sale. Une centaine de lots étaient proposés.

Though the fourth generation (1993–2002) of the Pontiac Firebird was its last, there was—and is—a lot to like. All the variants wore voluptuous and more aerodynamic styling, and buyers who wanted more oomph than the entry-level V-6 model had plenty to choose from, starting with the 275-hp, V-8-powered Formula and the similarly motivated Trans Am, […]

Même en devenant la Zoute Grand Prix Car Week, l'événement belge n'oublie pas son magnifique concours et son rallye. On visite.

Chances are good that if you live in a neighborhood of single-family homes, one or more of your neighbors has a Little Free Library. It’s not just an American phenomenon, either. There are now more than 200,000 tiny book exchanges with their “Take a book, share a book” ethos in 85 countries around the globe. […]

A car’s design creates your first impression of it, but its dashboard is what you live with, day in and day out. It needs to do something well—it has to be attractive, or practical and easy to use, or an ideal combination of both. Glitz or simplicity, screens or ’80s digital or old-school dials, we […]

The latest values in our price guide went live at the beginning of this month, and last week we discussed bright spots in the market, but also alluded to the fact that things are very divided at the moment. The collector car market is currently running at two distinct speeds: breakneck pace for modern supercars […]

Over 70 classic cars crossed the block on October 10 during the Aguttes Autoworld 2026 sale held in Brussels, Belgium. The catalog included the usual suspects, such as a 1977 Porsche 911 Targa and a 21-window 1965 Volkswagen Bus, as well as newer models that recently made the transition from the local classifieds to the […]

Whether you’re an obsessive market-watcher like us or just a casual observer of how collector cars are selling, over the past 10 months you’ve probably seen some version of the “exotic cars are hot” headline. Hypercars are selling for hyper-prices. Modern Ferraris are defying all logic and breaking price guides. High-spec Porsches basically don’t depreciate. […]

Au nord de Toulouse, ce rassemblement a déménagé et tenait sa 2e édition à Castelnau d'Estrétefonds avec un joli succès.

I tend to start each day with a cup of coffee and a bevy of games on my phone: word stuff, mostly, like Wordle and Connections, but also some dominos and the occasional geography challenge, which I am usually terrible at. Last week, however, I discovered something entirely new, and now I’m not sure it’s […]

The news we’ve been waiting for—the return of the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V-8 to the newest Dodge Charger—is almost, almost official. Automotive News reports that it has “reviewed” a “planning document” written by Dodge to its suppliers that confirms the company’s plans to launch the Hellcat “at the end of 2027 for the 2028 model […]

Few brands and models have the cachet of Shelby and the Cobra. And while every Cobra comes packed with a story, some are a little more interesting and varied than others. Given that this particular Cobra is noted in The World Registry of Cobras and GT40s as “the only 427 Cobra prototype,” chassis number CSX2196 […]

Sheer, unbridled excitement. That’s what the designers at Stellantis’ Turin studio must have felt the moment they heard that the powers that be would finally let them sculpt a proper Alfa Romeo. With the Cuorerosso concept, unveiled at this year’s Paris Auto Show, Alfa Romeo reminded us that it hadn’t forgotten its history. This time […]

Dans le Gard, c'est au sein des belles Vendanges de l'Histoire que les voitures et motos anciennes venaient s'exposer.
