In 1985, BMW created the M5, nothing less than a supercar in disguise. That first model was powered by the outrageously muscular, 24-valve, 3.5-liter inline-six taken (albeit slightly modified) from the M1. The result was extreme performance in the perfect camouflage. Only later did BMW add cladding and spoilers or even alter the body of [...]

My latest assignment for Jason's SUVs site is a 2011 Volvo XC60 review. I drove a base-model XC60 when it came out in 2010, and wasn't overly impressed. But this time, Volvo turned me loose in the turbocharged version with the stiffer suspension. Very intriguing -- it wasn't at all what I expected from a Volvo SUV, in both good ways and bad. Get the story in my 2011 Volvo XC60 review. -- Aaron Gold

When it comes to bugs on your grille, it’s hard to top a European Peacock butterfly (Inachis io) hit by a 1927 Bugatti. Photographed in Budapest by our ex-intern Máté Petrány, it is a study in roadkill perfection, the insect’s wings spread as if mounted by a meticulous entomologist, mostly intact but displaying just the right amount of damage.

5 is Alive: Turbos transform the M5 experience. Quicker? Yes. More sophisticated? Yes. More fun in a hairpin? Yes. Is the new BMW M5 what we?re accustomed to expect from BMW?s M division?

After releasing a couple of stunning packages for the Porsche 911/991 and Porsche 911 GT2 RS at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, TechArt is making its way back into the limelight with yet another amazing rendition for a Porsche. Their newest package is the Stage 2 Kit based on the Porsche Panamera Turbo.

The standard Panamera is powered by a 4.8 liter V8 biturbo engine that produces 550 HP and 553 lb-ft of torque. With the help of new turbo chargers as well as a new sport air filter, TechArt was able to increase that output to 630 HP and 649 lb-ft of torque. The new Panamera Turbo will now sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and from 0-124 mph in 12.3 seconds. Top speed has also been increased from 190 mph to 202 mph.

In addition to the added toys under the hood, the Panamera is also rocking a new sport exhaust system and stainless steel sport tailpipes. Not much else was needed, but TechArt’s package for the Panamera carries much more heat than it does style. If potential customers would rather have a certain "look" added to their Panamera, they will have to sacrifice some power and check out the works by Hamann or Anderson Germany.

Porsche Panamera Turbo Stage 2 by TechArt originally appeared on topspeed.com on Friday, 30 September 2011 19:00 EST.

After a grueling all-day battle of thrown rods, car fires, and busted suspensions at MSR Houston, we never expected to see a Ford Taurus SHO with a Rat Patrol roof gunner on the same lap as a bar-sponsored ’84 Volkswagen Rabbit. That’s how things sorted out after the first race session of the fourth annual [...]
