The Ferrari Purosangue Is Pure Luxury
First things first: If you call the all-new 2024 Ferrari Purosangue an “SUV,” you’re probably reducing your chances of ever owning one to zero. The brain trust at the Italian firm certainly does not call the Purosangue an SUV. And they’re probably right to steer clear of the term, because this Ferrari is not so easy to classify. It’s not …

Great One, Great Watch
During a private event at the Cambridge Club in downtown Toronto this first week of December, hockey and horology came together like never before.
Worthy of Your Attention
In retrospect, it makes perfect sense that the 2016 Volvo XC90 would be an absolute, uncontested, out-of-the-park home run. There was, and is, so much riding on the success of this SUV, the opposite scenario would be completely unthinkable, both for the Swedish manufacturer itself and for “Volvo-philes” around the globe.
Magnum Cars’ Track Record
While the name Magnum is new to the road car segment, the company has been building race cars since 1968 when founder Jean-Pierre St-Jacques started wrenching in his father’s woodworking shed.

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade
There’s no doubt about it, Cadillac is on a roll. Or, to be more precise, they continue to be on a roll. Things began to turn around for the brand previously associated with Sansabelt slacks when the first-generation CTS sedan appeared in 2002.
Bentley’s Motorsport Legacy
Whether or not Bentley owners know of the brand’s rich racing heritage, they’re about to learn a lot more about it. The well-heeled British carmaker has stepped back into the motorsport arena and has done so in a very big way.
Three Sport Compacts
There was a time, not so long ago, that the term “sport compact” caused enthusiasts to think almost exclusively about the kind of cars from The Fast and the Furious franchise. But the sport compact segment has matured, grown more sophisticated, and become more technologically advanced.
Bentley Continental GT3 Race Car

In particular, British brands made waves.

Tokyo Motor Show
A whirlwind visit to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show proved that Japanese car manufacturers take a back seat to none when it comes to sheer ingenuity.

There can be a massive advantage to being the less-than-obvious choice. As with the underdog in sports, everyone is pulling for you to succeed, and the door is left wide open to make a great impression. In the automotive world, the same holds true.
The 2014 Jaguar and Land Rover Fleet
This doesn’t happen often. An automaker holds an event and shows up with not one, not two, not three, but four all-new cars that could each make a legitimate claim to being the brand’s halo model.
The Museo Ferrari
For even the most feverish car aficionado, a visit to Maranello is something on a different plane, a mythical must-see to be sure. This small town north of Bologna, Italy, is home to Ferrari, and as a result, it is a focal point for much passion.
The Jaguar F-Type
This article is about the first all-new two-seat roadster to be released by the British marque in over 50 years. It’s a car that was a very long time coming, especially when you consider the enduring legacy of the most legendary Jaguars of the past.
All Things Electric
After witnessing the covers come off the production version of the BMW i3, the much-anticipated electric car, one thing became abundantly clear: BMW is taking this electric business very seriously.
Aston Martin Centenary
On Sunday, July 21, a week’s worth of activities celebrating the 100th anniversary of Aston Martin culminated in a single-marque concours d’elegance in Kensington Palace Gardens. There were some 550 cars in attendance—the single largest gathering of Aston Martins ever— including some of the rarest models in existence.
John Lennon’s Ticket to Ride
For the true car aficionado, there are perhaps a handful of events on the automotive calendar each year that warrant a “must-see” designation. The Goodwood Festival of Speed is certainly one of these. At Goodwood this year, a very noteworthy car will make a guest appearance—and that car is for sale.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed
Brand new cars are revealed over the course of an entire year, and the average car fan—someone who visits just one major show a year—misses a lot of the action. The challenge, then, is to find the car show that represents a one-stop shop for visitors enamoured with all things automotive—and the Goodwood Festival of Speed is precisely that.
BMW Group DesignworksUSA
Imagine a sculptor who moonlights as a landscape architect. Or a painter who elects to dabble in interior design. This is the equivalent of DesignworksUSA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the BMW Group with co-operative design studios in Munich, Shanghai, Singapore, and just northwest of Los Angeles, in Newbury Park.
The 2012 Aston Martin V12 Zagato
Let’s get one thing straight right from the start: the Aston Martin range comprises some of the most desirable sports cars on the planet—period. While the cars aren’t the fastest, the most outrageous, or the most expensive, they nevertheless have that elusive cool factor that brands everywhere in every category aspire to attain.
BMW at the Toronto International Art Fair
At first glance, the German sedan seemed out of place amidst the displays by prestigious art galleries from around the world. But upon closer consideration, it made perfect sense. After all, the concept of canvas has changed dramatically over the years, and if a dress made of meat can be considered art, then surely a 1991 BMW 525i fits the definition just as well, if not better.
The 2011 Aston Martin Rapide
Dr. Ulrich Bez is a character. As evidence, when his mobile phone rings, the James Bond theme reverberates loudly enough for anyone within shouting distance to take notice.
