Ferrari recently rolled out its blisteringly fast 296 GTB hybrid V6-powered supercar and – predictably enough – in its wheel-tracks comes the 296 GTS, which uses the same core ingredients as its sibling but adds alfresco (open-air) cruising capability to the mix.
Not many who have driven Lamborghini’s Urus would complain it’s lacking in grunt or dynamism.

Bugatti pulled off something close to an automotive miracle when they unveiled the Veyron. The bit that made it legendary was its quad-turbo 1000+ hp W16 monster of an engine.

Mercedes-Benz GLC is an essential model for the brand, as it is one of their main revenue generators. The popular compact crossover now enters its second generation, or third if you count the GLK, with a slightly larger body, improved interiors, and new powertrains.
For the most part, luxury in the car world usually hits a ceiling when it reaches the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The stately sedan is the epitome of automotive luxury and now it is getting an update. For the 2023 model year, the Phantom gets small updates in design, and fabric seats at the rear.
If there is ever a club for the most elite motorcar nameplates, Ford Mustang would be running its head committee. The iconic pony car has formed a remarkable aura around it over six generations and many decades. The 2024 Ford Mustang is ready to take this to the seventh generation.
