When Toyota's reborn Supra debuted, the performance for the price was very good. And although the 5th-generation Supra is not, in fact, a Toyota, it hits a rare spot of excellence which transcends that detail.

After the unveiling of the new and much-anticipated Z from Nissan, we got the chance to spend some personal time with the car at Z Con in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the new Z was unveiled in person to hundreds of fans.

Nissan has unveiled the seventh generation of the Z car, which drops the numerical prefix in the US for the first time to be simply known as the “Z.” The Nissan Z packs a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 and will hit US showrooms in spring.

The current generation of the Nissan GT-R came to market in 2009, carrying the Godzilla nickname from its predecessor, the R32 GT-R. Our week in the 2021 model proved that it may be old, but it’s still worthy of the name.

After 25 years, the Lotus Elise, along with its Exige and Evora siblings, steps aside, leaving the spotlight to the Emira. Lotus' newest sports car wears a new set of Evija-inspired clothes and continues in the tradition of light, agile performance.

After taking to the air for the first time last year, Klein Vision's AirCar has now aced its first inter-city flight – taking off from Nitra airport, landing in Bratislava some 35 minutes later, and then heading into the Slovakian capital by road.

Sport car purists have loved the Toyota 86 (formerly the Scion FR-S) and the Subaru BRZ twins for years. Simple, driver-centric, and fun, these low-cost sports cars have been mainstays in enthusiast forums. Now, a new generation of the cars debuts.

Redesigned for 2021, the second-generation BMW 4 Series follows the updates from the 3 Series to get a stiffer chassis, more power and updated technology – all behind a very distinctive beaver-toothed grille that's sure to split opinions.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class of midsized cars is an unusual case of what happens when a carmaker does both road-going (touring-class) and sports models really well. We had the chance to drive examples of both, for a week each.

Potential buyers for the Porsche Taycan electric sports car may have balked at its US$103,800 starting price, but need no longer worry. The automaker has introduced a new Taycan entry-level model priced just below $80,000.

The new Corvette was an instant blockbuster. The redesign, which made it a mid-engined sports car to compete with high-end supercars, was a jaw-dropper, as was the retention of the relative affordability the Corvette has always been known for.

Subaru has taken the wraps off its all-new BRZ sports car, continuing the purists’ fun box into a new generation. The BRZ has an all-new design, a new engine with a bit more muscle, and retains the rear-drive formula that has made the car doggedly popular.
