Ferrari Roma Coupe is dead, incoming successor
Ferrari recently ended production in Rome, and its successor has just been spotted in Italy November 13, 2024 17:40 Ferrari has quietly phased out the Roma, which bodes well for the arrival of a new model in the near future. Work is already underway on the successor, with our spies capturing a prototype testing in Italy. The mysterious model is essentially a facelifted Roma, but seems destined to bear a new name. The Ferrari Roma feels like a relatively new addition to the lineup, but believe it or not, it's been a full five years since its launch. This helps explain why a prototype of its successor was recently spotted on the streets of Maranello. Dressed in black camouflage, the mysterious model appears to be an evolution of its predecessor. That's not surprising, as the car is actually a heavily facelifted Roma, but will likely sport a new or revised name in typical Ferrari fashion. More: Ferrari Roma Spider combines…
Pick of the Day: 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe
A 1957 Cadillac Coupe stretches 220.9 inches long. That's 10 inches longer than the 2024 three-row Ford Expedition sport utility vehicle. To say that the 1957 Cadillac "had its place" in transportation would be an understatement. Cars were (and still are) a status symbol, a trophy and a form of self-expression for those lucky enough to own and drive one. The Pick of the Day is a 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Miami, Florida. (Click the link to see the list) "Engine and transmission numbers match," the seller says. Some details on the car are listed: "Electronic ignition, alternator, Edelbrock carburetor, air conditioning."

The body has lots of chrome and brightwork (according to the seller, some of the trim has been redone). The 62 Series rides on General Motors' C-body platform, which is…

Mazda's design chief confirms the Iconic SP concept will go into production "in the near future." In concept form, it features a twin-rotor rotary engine and an electric drivetrain for a total output of 365 horsepower. This stunning concept could evolve into a successor to the RX-7, or even shrink down to the size of an MX-5.

Toyota FT-Se electric coupe rumored to be launched in 2027
This new electric sports car could take inspiration from the FT-Se concept and easily outshine the Supra go through Brad Anderson November 3, 2024 10:14 A Japanese report suggests Toyota's FT-Se EV could debut in 2027 alongside a gasoline-powered version. The Lexus LF-ZC's advanced battery technology can significantly increase the range of electric models. According to reports, the ICE model will be equipped with a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and will be equipped with an AWD system. The world needs more low-slung sports cars, and Toyota may be gearing up to launch not one but two versions of last year's FT-Se concept. At least, that's what the rumors coming out of Japan say. This is not the first time there has been talk of producing FT-Se. However, as with many rumors circulating in Japan, some details remain vague and often contradictory. Over the years, reports of pure electric models and gasoline-powered models (with various types of engines) have varied,…
2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe first drive review: Is it this one?
If you're in the market for a fast, stylish coupe-SUV, the German is still your best bet. The BMW X6 first launched in 2008, and since then, it's become more popular and faster with every iteration. Launched in 2017, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 coupe became the first model in the range to be built locally in the country. Based on the C 43 sedan, the GLC 43 SUV coupe is now in its second generation and has undergone a number of changes. It now features updated styling, a revised interior layout and a smaller 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric turbocharger instead of the previous version's 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. The question now is whether this new GLC 43 is a more practical option in the AMG range, or whether the AMG-built C 43 sedan is still the better choice. Let’s take a look!

Pick of the Day: 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
this Daily Picks is a 1996 Chevrolet Corvette coupe listed on ClassicCars.com by a Missouri dealer. Whenever I see the letters NCRS (National Corvette Restoration Society), I automatically think of a well-preserved C1 or a restored C3. It's hard to believe that this organization also judges C4 Corvettes, but the reality is that the latest fourth-generation Corvettes, like this 1996 coupe, are nearly 30 years old. The 1996 model year was significant in Corvette history. It marked the end of the C4, which Chevrolet celebrated in more ways than one. It still offers the 300-horsepower LT1 V8, but also released a high-performance 5.7-liter V8 called the LT4. It produces 330 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque and is standard equipment on the Grand Sport, a model name that returns after more than 30 years of absence and is only available in 1996 Collector's Edition models and regular Vette models with the six-cylinder engine. - Speed manual transmission.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
The C3 Corvette still exists My favorite generation of "American sports cars". Yes, I know every car before it was more valuable, and reviews of C3 cars tend to be less positive, but when I think of what a Corvette looks like, the C3 is what I picture in my mind. In fact, the C3 Corvette's styling was so good that it even influenced the C4, C5 and C6 models. If you doubt that, ask Ed Welburn, GM's former vice president of global design, and he'll put you right. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette coupe featured on AutoHunter is considered by many to be the C3's best year. This 1969 Corvette is described as having a 454ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. It's finished in Daytona Yellow over black vinyl interior and is now available from the selling dealer with a clear title. Daytona Yellow is the original color of this car.

Porsche 911 GT3 turns 25
Porsche 911 GT3 turns 25we highlight the four generations of products launched so far. Born from racing but built for the street, the 911 GT3 represents the evolution of a lineage that began in 1973 with the original 911 Carrera RS homologation special edition. Like the Carrera RS, the GT3 and its more hardcore GT3 RS sibling are the cars most closely related to Porsche's 911 race car. That's why they still run naturally aspirated engines and can be ordered without many of the niceties found in other 911 variants. The GT3 continues the company's tradition of building "pure, uncompromising sports cars," as Porsche puts it. The basic recipe is rear-wheel drive, lightweight construction, high-downforce aerodynamics and a track-focused chassis. Porsche has stuck to this with every generation and hopefully will continue to do so in the future. 996 Porsche 911 GT3 The first GT3 was based on the 996-generation 911 and debuted at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show.
