Porsche has been offering the GTS badge across their models for a while now. The badge is aimed at people looking for the “sweet spot” – have a daily driver that also offers enough performance to enjoy those spirited drives. Porsche recently introduced their latest iteration of the 911 Carrera GTS, which sits nicely between the 911 Carrera S and the 911 Turbo in terms of price and power.
For the first time since its unveiling at Pebble Beach on August 13, the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 has taken to the road. The brand-new super sports car was accompanied by two of its most important predecessors: the first Countach LP 400 and the last 25th Anniversary Countach produced. The dynamic debut, together with two protagonists of the company’s historic collection, provided some extraordinary and unprecedented images.
| The Good: – Updated tech features – Cabin space and ambience – Onroad and offroad comfort |
The Bad: – Too slow for the price – Too pricey for an old V6 – Slightly softer handling |

2023 marks the 70th anniversary of Corvette, the longest running nameplate on the road today.

The powerful ZO6 is also set to be available in the US this summer – perfect timing to celebrate 70 years of the Corvette.

Cars like the Lotus Exige have become rare. Actually they are pretty much extinct, as the Exige ceased production in 2021, as did the Elise and Evora, to be replaced by the more-modern new Emira. We got a chance to drive the Exige 410 Anniversary Edition. The Exige has been around since 2000, but still as exciting to drive, if not more so.
| The Good: – Coupe-like styling – Cabin space and features – Ride and handling |
The Bad: – Bit pricey with options – Few hard-plastic cabin bits – Some rivals are quieter |
