1,234 Horsepower 1,430 lb-ft Torque 1.89 sec 0-60 mph I straighten the wheel as we join the highway on-ramp, with Los Angeles’ morning rush hour subsiding. We’re in full power mode, 1,234 horsepower to be exact, and I’ve got about a half-mile gap to the car in front. Lucid engineer David Lickfold is riding passenger, and as he sees the open road ahead, he says, “Floor it.” In an instant, the gap vanishes, and we’re barreling toward the poor crossover ahead. This 5,336-pound electric sedan hasn’t just sprinted. It has rocketed from a crawl in a way I’ve only felt once before — in the $2.2 million Pininfarina Battista a year prior. To lay down all that power from its three electric motors, the 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire channels it…

FACTORY RESTORATION With the grand opening of a new dedicated classic facility in Atlanta, Porsche has planted its flag to the commitment of enthusiasts for every generation of model. With 2023 being the 75 th anniversary of the Porsche marque, this expansion bolsters their devotion to the future, through the past. Inside this facility lies the beating heart of what started it all in 1948, though not in the sense of it merely housing safeguarded treasures from years ago. This is now one of only two locations in the world, the only of its kind in North America, to fully revitalize and cherish the machines that give such spark to life. Nestled within Porsche’s Atlanta campus, and overlooking the exciting new West Track, Porsche Classic houses 14 work bays, specialized…

Porsche has and will always operate in a fashion-forward approach rooted in the vision of its founder, Ferdinand Porsche. In the world of luxury sports cars, the brand goes beyond mechanics and performance, infusing art and culture into its creations. From classic lines and signature details to innovations like its iconic tartan interior, Porsche crafts vehicles that are more than just collector-grade cars; they are pieces of automotive art. This artistic perspective echoes through every model, turning heads and making Porsche’s lineup as culturally significant as it is exhilarating to drive. While Porsche’s historic color palette has acted as a guide for customers when configuring their dream cars, the plaid-patterned tartan interior option grows as an ever-popular bespoke offering. This eye-catching pattern made its debut inside 911 models of the…

670 Horsepower 460 lb-ft Torque 189 mph Top Speed The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is here to remind us of what we’ve lost as modern supercars continue to push performance boundaries. It has supercar stats, sure, but what sets the Z06 apart is how it makes you feel behind the wheel. At the core of the experience is its naturally aspirated 5.5-liter flat-plane-crankV8, which revs to 8,600 rpm. It’s a screamer — and the type of engine you’d expect to see in a car with a Prancing Horse badge. Even without forced induction, the all-new LT6 pumps out 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, which goes to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. It allows for a 2.6-second sprint to 60 mph and tops out at 189 mph.…

IT APPEARS that the days of the United States going years without a Formula 1 grand prix are finally over as a third circuit, Las Vegas, is added to the calendar. Before Las Vegas and Miami were added to the rotation, one important race held down the fort — the United States Grand Prix. Over the past few decades, the USGP has taken place at different circuits, including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and even Watkins Glen. However, the USGP has found its home in Austin, Texas, at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). BACK IN 2009, then Formula 1 president Bernie Ecclestone made it clear that the sport would not return to the United States. A year later, plans surfaced for a NewYork race to occur in 2012. After plans…

The making of a fine timepiece, especially a luxury watch from the German brand Glashütte Original, is a lot like the making of a fine automobile — but on a miniature scale. Every watch has an engine, a chassis, a body, and exceptional mechanical parts that must work in harmony. But the innovation, technical advancements, and craftsmanship inherent in their making at this particular manufacturer is exceptionally unique. To begin with, Glashütte Original is a fully integrated manufacturer — meaning that 95 percent of every watch component, including the tools used to put them together, are made entirely in house. This is not by chance. In the wake of World War II, the Saxony region was cut off from the outside watchmaking world. Brands had to bring all design and…
