Let’s cut straight to the chase. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is billed as the best car in the world. It’s an enormous sedan loaded with advanced technologies like Active Lane Keeping Assist. So, yeah, auto pilot. With a laundry list of over 768 luxury features including a Google Maps display in the back for backseat drivers, we can almost guarantee that your driver is going to love it.

The rear end of the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo is wider than a pair of Kardashians bending down to touch their toes. And there are plenty of other reasons to perv out on this just-released pair of Porsches. To mark the 40th Anniversary of 911 Turbo, they’ve fitted the ’14 911 Turbo & Turbo S with an all new chassis, a new AWD system, active rear axle steering and they bumped the power in the flat-six motor up to 560 horsepower.

With images leaked before the car’s official debut at the Shanghai Motor Show, we present to you the Maserati for the masses. The 2014 Ghibli was designed to compete with BMW 5 Series & Benz E-Class cars, as the brand pushes to sell 50,000 cars per year by 2015. Powered by your choice of a 3-liter turbo diesel or gas V6, this sporty AWD sedan also features an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Yes, Porsche really made a plug-in hybrid Panamera but fear not, the new S E-Hybrid is not a Prius in a Porsche package. The powertrain combines a V6 bi-turbo gas engine with a 95 horsepower electric motor for 416 total horses. You can do your happy little eco-driving burning electrons-only at 80mph for about 20 miles, but when you really want to move, the combined battery+engine mode will do 0-60 in 5.5 and hit a top speed of 165.

Revealing their 2015 A3/S3 sedan at the New York Auto Show this week, car geeks were pleasantly surprised to see that Audi has gotten a bit more serious about their children’s cars. Inside, this little sedan is exactly what you’d expect: high-tech & leather. Available with 4 engine choices, from a 170hp 1.8 TSFI 4 to a turbo-Diesel option all the way up to the S3’s high-output 2-liter TFSI model, the new entry level Audi options are looking solid.

On display at the New York International Auto Show this week, the 2014 Range Rover Sport got the makeover it needed for the new model year. The fastest, most responsive Rover ever has a new look with subtle but stunning updates to the body, a new drivetrain, and optional 3rd row seating. From the V6 SE model to the 510-horsepower supercharged V8 Autobiography edition, the new Sport is an advanced, luxury SUV but at the same time, it retains classic Rover style and the unquestionable ability to rip off-road.

Nobody’s going to argue with another RS model being added to Audi’s lineup. The all-new 2014 RS7 Sportback was unveiled in Detroit. Powering the 5-door coupe is a stupid-quick V8 tuned to scream with a pair of twin scroll turbochargers. It can also be driven economically by deactivating as many as 4-cylinders & using only half the engine. Probably boring but yes, economical.

It’s a good thing GM took the bailout money otherwise, this totally re-designed 2014 Corvette Stingray may never have happened. After years of development, this 7th generation Vette, the first variant to earn the   Stingray badge since ’76, will be the best performing, arguably the best looking, and without question, the most fuel-efficient Corvette ever made. Sitting atop an all aluminum frame, the new body sports very Italianish styling and under the hood there’s a gas-sipping 450 HP 6.2-liter V8, that gets an unbelievable 30mpg on the freeway.

When the Porsche 911 was released 50 years ago, it looked incredible. And not once in the past 50 years have they ever made a bad one or an ugly one—even in the 80s! This 304-page book celebrates the stunning design of this enduring, iconic car with images by master photographer René Staud.

The launch of BMW’s forthcoming 4 Series coupe is the death knell of the brand’s entry-level two-door 3 Series. This wider, longer, & lower coupe is powered by the same drivetrain as the 3 Series but otherwise got a complete re-design inside and out, giving it the larger look of a big boy beemer.
