In 1993, theGiorgetto Giugiaro-designed Bugatti EB112 luxury sedan concept appeared at the Geneva Motor Show. It was a technological powerhouse of a luxury sedan with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a 6.0-liter V12 with five valves per cylinder under the aluminum hood.

The company Encor has been showcasing its Lotus Esprit restomod for several months. We haven't driven one, so we can't comment first-hand, but the images and available specifications make this project particularly tantalizing.

One of the less expected restomod cars out there is almost ready for prime time. The HWA EVO, which as its name suggests is a modernized variant of the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II, has been undergoing cold- and hot-weather testing as it makes its way toward production, ensuring that its traction controls and braking systems are up to snuff and guaranteeing reliable performance in even extreme weather. HWA took its highly modified, C 43 V6-powered 190E project to Sweden and Spain to undergo

Don't think Elvis would go for a modern day Cadillac? Larte Design might have something to say about that. This is a Cadillac Escalade fitted with the company's extreme carbon fiber body kit, which itself is pretty good. In this particular instance, though, it's not a carbon-fiber color. It's pink, and we aren't talking about paint or a clear coat. Each carbon fiber part is pink, inside and out.

Not only does the iconic race car manufacturing company Lola still exist, but it announced a 16-model run of continuation cars built using scans of the T70 sports prototype race car. Back in the 1960s, the Lola T70 announced its arrival to racing by winning the Monterey Grand Prix at Laguna Seca Raceway, and went on to become a legendary race car that took on the Ford GT40 and Porsche 908 on the track. As well as using scans to reboot the T70 for the 21st century as the T70S, Lola used archive d

Oh sure, flashy colors flow wildly for the auto shows, like this week in New York. Perhaps we should be grateful that automakers give their design teams such a long leash in deciding which off-the-wall hues will be on display for tens of thousands of potential customers to ponder for their next ride.

Ever since Hyundai announced that it would introduce a body-on-frame truck for the American market – previewed in some form by the Boulder concept – the idea of a newcomer pickup hasn't seemed quite as far-fetched as it once did. Typically, the Americans have dominated the full-size segment with machines like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram 1500, while the midsize segment is the domain of Japan's vaunted Toyota Tacoma. But alongside Hyundai, Volkswagen Group of America is apparently

Among the more critical recalls issued by automakers are those for safety equipment, especially for those that work to protect you in a crash. When something goes wrong with those parts, it's possible for people to get seriously hurt, so they need to be fixed as soon as possible. So, owners of 2022 through 2026 Chrysler Pacificas and Voyagers will want to check in with their local dealers about this latest recall. Stellantis has recalled 178,246 examples of the vans for side curtain airbags that

Despite relatively strong early demand a few years ago, most of the US market's electric vehicles are suffering from a pretty decent slump. Hyundai is no exception, indicating recently that it would discontinue the Ioniq 6 sedan in the US after the 2026 model year (although we enthusiasts were relieved to learn that the high-po Ioniq 6 N performance variant would still make its way here). Still, despite a major slowdown in demand for long-range EVs like the Ioniq 5 and its Ford Mustang Mach-E an

BMW is making moves in the UK, announcing the BMW iX3 40 for £53,250 ($70,798). That sounds like a lot for a compact luxury electric SUV, but it'll arrive in the summer with 316 horsepower going to the rear wheels and charging speeds up to 300 kW.

This could be the jumping-off point for the three Genesis models we want to see most. The CarBuzz spies have just snapped the facelifted Genesis G90 sedan on the road in the US. The makeover will bring the full-sized sedan right up-to-the-minute. We hope it will also bring a coupe, convertible, and the Wingback wagon to dealer lots.

Active aerodynamics in automobiles have evolved considerably over the past decade. The technology has been used in road-going vehicles since the 1980s, but at the time, the elements generally simply switched between high- and low-downforce positions. Today, systems have evolved to be infinitely adjustable, tailoring airflow for exactly what best suits the vehicle and the conditions.

Polestar has confirmed that the only model on its lineup currently produced across two continents – the Polestar 3 electric crossover – will now exclusively be built in the United States in what is believed to be a bid to sidestep auto tariffs.

We've got some good news for fans of the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R (or just hatchbacks in general). At a round-table interview at the 2026 New York International Auto Show, company executives admitted that despite some rather slow sales last year, the hot hatch will almost certainly always have a place in the lineup, serving as a core component of VW's identity rather than a mere money-making opportunity. Those are strong words that should bring almost every car enthusiast some joy, even as

In March, BMW revealed the first fully-electric 3 Series. The 2027 BMW i3 is the first car in the Neue Klasse line, and as the first electric 3er, it is absolutely going to be controversial. But not half as controversial as the model the CarBuzz spy photographers have just snapped. That's the iM3, the first M3 electric and the launch of a new era of BMW performance. It's going to be more polarizing than the magnets in its four motors.

The first quarter of 2026 was a rough one for sales of Ford's F-Series pickups. Thanks to the end of the F-150 Lightning and a major fire at one of Ford's biggest aluminum suppliers last year, Ford sold 16% fewer full-sized pickups than it did last year.

Sales of cars that have been discontinued always show up on the charts at least a few months after production ends. There will still be examples heading out to dealers and sitting on lots for a while. Even a few random sales a year after aren't too crazy. What's weird is when a car that's been discontinued for multiple years still sells, and in numbers greater than, say, 10. That's the situation with the Dodge Challenger, which, somehow, just keeps selling.

Friends, April 1 – April Fools' Day – has come and gone. We encountered a few cheeky auto-related announcements, but being the Brick nerds we are, we wanted this one to stand out. So consider this year's prank war extended by just one day.

As Mercedes-Benz continues through its 30 reveals in just a few years with the GLE and GLS SUVs, we're starting to see more and more new models getting ready for their own turn in the spotlight. The CarBuzz spy photographers have just snapped the latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class facelift, and, well, don't expect significant changes inside or out. Do expect to see a galaxy's worth of stars when one drives by.

It's been a tough stretch for Subaru on the US sales front, and the March 2026 results are fairly alarming, down 23.5% to 54,674 vehicles, compared to record sales in March 2025. When the only vehicle growing sales for the month is the low-volume Solterra EV (1,736 sold), the stress must be felt well beyond Subaru's sales and marketing offices.
