Coupe

New for 2018, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe and convertible get the complete AMG performance treatment in the C43 and C63 models. The C43, formerly the AMG C450, has a new transmission and a more classic profile. And it's the AMG C43 Coupe​ that we recently took for a test drive.

​Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new flagship design vehicle in the new-generation CLS at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The car features a new exterior design, a new six-cylinder engine, and new suspension technologies. It will enter the market in late 2018 as a 2019 model.

Like the sedan, the Mercedes S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet have been treated to a mid-life refresh with more technology, sharper looks and even better engines ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new Hyundai i30 hasn't been around for long, but engineers in Seoul have frantically been working to expand the range. Along with the first N Performance model, the i30 has been turned into a slick, four-door Fastback, designed to mimic more expensive four-door coupes from Audi and BMW.

McLaren set tongues wagging when it unveiled the 720S at the Geneva Motor Show. This latest supercar is built on a brand new chassis, clever aerodynamic elements,​ and some absolutely bonkers performance claims. So what's the story behind that new face?

It's rare for a car manufacturer to truly try break the mold, but BMW's Gran Turismo – or GT – models are notable exceptions. The new 6 Series GT might look awkward, but that hunchback design is there to blend the best bits of sedan, wagon and hatchback body styles in one package.

Rolls-Royce dedicates an incredible amount of time to bespoke versions of its cars, but that wasn't enough for one connoisseur. The result is a stunning two-door tribute to the swept-tail Rolls-Royces of the 1920s.

Everyone wants to get their hands on the Honda Civic Type R, but its turbo engine doen't come cheap. It won't be causing the Type R any trouble on the drag strip, but the Civic Si promises three-quarters the fun at a fraction the cost.

The attention to detail shown in the Rolls-Royce Wraith is unmatched in the motoring world, but even high-end luxury can be improved upon. Given the task of making a more exclusive, special luxury coupe, the design team in Goodwood has tapped into the minds of some British music legends.

What comes to mind when you think of Tata? For most, the first image to pop up is the faceless Nano microcar, although car nerds will also recognize the Indian giant as the latest owner of Jaguar and Land Rover. You can imagine how surprised we were, then, when Tata unveiled the Racemo in Geneva.

VW has dipped its toe into the waters with luxury cars before, but the genre hasn't been kind. The Phaeton has faded and the Passat CC is a great car that no-one bought, but that hasn't deterred VW from giving it one more shot with the Arteon.

​Infiniti is trying to establish performance credentials with cars like the Q60 Red Sport, but so far it hasn't been able to match the Germans. It's not a production car, but the Project Black S hints at a more aggressive future for hotted-up Infiniti coupes.
