Few rivalries are as hotly contested as that of Ferrari and McLaren. The two most accomplished racing teams in the history of Formula One regularly duke it out on the grand prix circuit. No other team comes close to the dozens of championships these two brands have traded over the decades, and maybe none ever will. When McLaren came out with its first street-legal sportscars in 1992, appropriately enough called the McLaren F1, their rivalry spilled out off the racetrack and onto the street; territory Ferrari had long claimed for itself....

Acura may not be a brand that you immediately associate with luxury but they're trying pretty hard to change your way of thinking with their 2014 RLX sedan, which they're tagging as an "affordable luxury" option. As possibly their most lavish offering yet, (yes, even more so than their sporty models) the RLX beefs up everything from the interior space to the all-wheel steering system.... Read More
The notion of spending a million dollars on a car — however rare, exotic or capable — was unthinkable not long ago, but that was before cars like the Bugatti Veyron or Aston Martin One-77 came along. This car, however, doesn't cost a million...it doesn't cost two million. No, the price tag on this particular piece of extreme automotive engineering is set at a massive $4 million.... Read More
It's not every day that a new flagship Ferrari debuts; the 288 GTO was released in 1984 and the F40 that replaced it arrived just a few years later in 1987. Eight years passed before the F50 came along in 1995 and the Enzo succeeded that model in 2002. Now eleven years later the Prancing Horse marque has revealed its new hybrid supercar at the Geneva Motor Show.... Read More
A Rolls-Royce is expected to be luxurious, elegant, and yes, fast. Maybe not fast in the way you'd expect a Ferrari or a Lamborghini to be fast, but certainly quick enough to get out of situations unbefitting a motor car of its stature.... Read More
There are many automotive marques on the market that can provide you with the kind of luxury that a moneyed customer has come to expect, but few can do it quite like Bentley.

With luxury cars comes the need for dependable high-performance tires; you can't just put anything on your Maserati and expect to get the most from it. There are plenty of tire brands out there that promise to give you the best but looking at their history and track record definitely helps when figuring out which name to go with. It also certainly doesn't hurt if the company is present in over 160 countries and is sitting pretty as one of the world's top five tire manufacturers in regards to revenue. If you haven't already guessed, we're talking about... Read More
Desire, the brainchild of Jaguar and Ridley Scott Associates, recently enlisted the talent of Emmy Award winning actor Damian Lewis to execute a theatrical promotional film for Jaguar's latest luxury concept. While well-tailored and of the sympathetic British sort, Lewis is a thinner, rather sloped-shouldered version of your typical action hero—think James Bond meets The Transporter. The Homeland star works alongside actress Shannyn Sossaman (A Knight’s Tale) to help market the highly anticipated Jaguar F-Type. The 15-minute... Read More
