Test-driving the 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre

The 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre only got a two-day test drive in Long Beach, CA, earlier this week, but that was enough to experience a warm bath of utter swank, style and power of the electric supercar. This two-door coupe is the first fully electric Rolls-Royce car, offering a seamless blend of their legendary craftsmanship and […]

Test-driving the 2025 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600

One doesn’t take possession of the regal 2025 Maybach so much as one accepts stewardship. Whether heading to the market or to the club or gym or giving relatives and friends the obligatory spin, every roll feels royal, as well it should as the starting sticker of this super-duper SUV is $174,350. Total with options? […]

Test-driving the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500

Despite torrential rain over most of the test, the Shelby GT 500 proved itself a ferocious, great-looking machine. Any ride’s a sweet ride when it’s a warm, dry summer day and the open road ahead is traffic-free. My 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 test, however, took place on a relentlessly soggy 3-day weekend, during which […]

Two hours with a 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse

It was only a two-hour test, and it was lightly raining. But I got a glimpse of greatness. First, there is a belch of turbo(s) from the Vitesse exhaust that happens each time you accelerate and ease off the pedal, like the sound of a very large, dangerous creature exhaling a large volume of air. […]

Test-driving the 2024 Aston-Martin DBX 707

The DBX is the “best” supercar SUV I’ve navigated thus far, due to its looks and its savage burble and crackle as you accelerate and decelerate. There is no note like an AM note. If James Bond married and had a family, this is the Aston-Martin he’d buy. I was delivered my DBX in Hollywood, […]

Test-Driving the 2023 Range Rover P400 SE

It was love at first drive getting into the ultra-posh Range Rover, whose insides rival any high-end office or swank lounge in appearance, scent and touch. Land Rover has a reputation for building gargantuan vehicles, but the tight efficiency and smart looks of the Range Rover make it much more manageable and a pleasure to […]

Ultra-rare 2014 McLaren P1 goes to auction today at Sotheby’s Motorsport

With more than 125 supercars, hypercars and classic-grade vehicles, an Ikonick offering is bound to be something special. For the first time, two vehicles from the collection will be available to the public for […]

Tested: 2023 Aston-Martin Vantage F1

The Aston-Martin Vantage has one of those perfect, chiseled visages evoking some of the perfect humans scattered about Hollywood and its suburbs where the supercar’s weeklong test took place. What I especially loved – what I’ve loved about all Aston-Martins I’ve tested since I started driving them in 2004 – is how unlike everything else […]

Test-driving the 2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost

Having a 2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost in the driveway is like adding an addition to your house. You’ll lounge in the Ghost’s heavenly back seat on breezy summer nights, shoes off, feet coddled on the plush rug, perhaps enjoying a meal (carefully), watching the world go by, perhaps holding hands with a loved one. You might […]
