Latest C Expands AMG World
A new era is beginning for Mercedes-Benz’s AMG performance division, kicked off in spiritual form by the all-new AMG GT two-seat sports car that hit the North American market in the spring, and in more practical form with the Mercedes-AMG C 63 sedan that arrived weeks later.
A Grand Entrance
Any $300,000-plus car has to generate passion: an emotional yearning that leads seemingly rational, business-minded owners to spend a generous helping on one automobile. In the McLaren 650S Spider, the British company has created just such a beast.
The Porsche 918
Porsche’s revolutionary 918 Spyder plug-in convertible will ultimately be known for two mind-blowing achievements: first, for setting the fastest time around the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit for a production car on street tires, at 6 minutes and 57 seconds; and second, for using less fuel than Toyota’s Prius hybrid.

Like all Land Rover Expeditions, the Catalonian Escape provides mostly city-dwellers (Land Rover owners or not) the opportunity to encounter a challenging outdoor environment with a luxurious approach.
Mercedes-Benz Collectibles
The history of Mercedes-Benz is the history of the car itself. Since company founder Carl Benz became the father of the modern automobile with his three-wheeled Benz Patent-Motorwagen in 1886, followed months later by Gottlieb Daimler’s first motorized four-wheeled carriage, Mercedes-Benz has long placed a special emphasis on celebrating its past.
The Ferrari California
