577 Horsepower 664 lb-ft Torque 155 mph Top Speed From winter testing in the arctic circle to on-road refinement in the French Riviera, the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre has already covered more than 1.5 million miles, simulating 400 years of use, during development. This stylish coupe is crucial for the British carmaker, as it’ll usher in the brand’s electrified future. At a glance, it’s tough to tell that the Spectre is electric. Unlike some EVs that lean into a more futuristic design language, Rolls-Royce’s take is stylish, elegant, and true to its brand aesthetic. There’s still a clear focus on aerodynamic efficiency. It’s just hidden in plain sight. Take its new Pantheon grille as an example. It is the widest ever fitted to a Rolls-Royce and helps channel air around the…

EARNING HIS WINGS The Red Bull Years After a brief stint with Red Bull’s Toro Rosso team — where in 2008 Sebastian Vettel became the youngest driver to win a Formula 1 grand prix (beat in 2016 by Max Verstappen) — team bosses noticed his potential and moved him to Red Bull Racing. In his first year with Red Bull, he finished second in the World Drivers’ Championship standings. In 2010, Vettel would take first place and become the youngest World Drivers’ Champion in Formula 1’s storied history, a record he still holds today. Over the next four years, Vettel continued to dominate, racking up three more championship titles for a total of four in a row. SEEING RED Ferrari’s Rise and Fall In 2015, Vettel took Fernando Alonso’s seat…

Aston Martin fans can now take their love for the brand sky-high thanks to a partnership between the automaker and Airbus Corporate Helicopters. The first creation to come out of this partnership is the ACH130 Aston Martin Edition. This stunning new helicopter was created after more than a year of the two brands working hand-in-hand to design a helicopter that perfectly represents Airbus and Aston Martin standards. The ACH130 Aston Martin Edition debuts with four different livery options — Stirling Green, Xenon Grey, Ultramarine Black, and Arizona. Each has its own complementary interior palette. Signature Aston Martin touches appear throughout, adding to the aircraft’s luxurious styling. Aston Martin’s iconic wings are located on the headrests of the leather-appointed seats that are not only comfortable but lavish, just like the automaker’s…

1. CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 Given how capable the Stingray is as a sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was positioned to be great. Far surpassing “great,” it blew us away. The hand-built LT6 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 is a masterpiece. Not only does it redline at 8,600 rpm, but it also delivers 670 horses without a turbocharger in sight. It also has the suspension, aero, and tires necessary to use that power in full. It is a clear example of what’s possible when the bean counters take a back seat. With a base price of $106,395, there is no better bargain on sale today. 2. BMW M5 CS The BMW M5 CS is easily among the most athletic sports sedans of 2022. Equipped with stiffer springs, a lower ride height,…

Buying a classic car can be a real labor of love. While the idea of adding a vintage model sounds like a dream on the surface, classics (and even more recent used cars) can come with plenty of headaches when it comes to ownership. Just think about it: You’re buying a car and trusting that anyone who owned it before you took proper care of it — that can be a big risk to take. Of course, it helps when you find a meticulous owner who keeps careful documentation of the car’s history, from the original window sticker to a detailed record of all the service and maintenance that has been done, but even for car enthusiasts, finding a vehicle that has been maintained like that can be like looking…
