British supercar manufacturer McLaren has finally revealed its new grand tourer, along with its name.

Igor Fraga is taking a break from collecting podiums on the race track — digitally and physically — to take part in the historic Mille Miglia. Not only that, he’ll be sharing driving duties with Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

After months of rumors, Formula One has confirmed that Circuit Zandvoort will return to the season calendar next year.

If you happen to have a spare $3m lying around and don’t mind the fact it’s not road-legal, you could be one step closer to having your dream spy car.

Nurburgring. Stuttgart. Munich. These are the locations that first come to mind when you think of car-lover destinations in Germany. Not Hamburg.

Mazda will join the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar with a new straight-six engine in the near future. The Japanese brand announced the new engine model, including a diesel version, in its 2019 fiscal year financial report.

There’s not much we like more than a good restomod. Old school looks and feel but with the latest and greatest in modern car powertrains and suspension? It’s a fantastic recipe.

Formula One world champion Jenson Button has claimed another record at Australia’s Mount Panorama circuit. The 2009 winner and reigning Super GT champion drove Honda’s Civic Type R to set the fastest lap for a front-wheel drive production car at the 3.86-mile track.

Welcome to the 100th edition of the Wednesday Want! To celebrate in style we are once again bringing you a piece of Gran Turismo history. However, unlike the Art Morrison Corvette and the ‘51 Ford Coupe, this car is not from the GT Awards. Instead, it has an important connection to GT Academy.

Making idle bets on Twitter is never a good idea. This is something that Busch Beer — the official beer of NASCAR (because that’s a thing) — forgot when it laid down a marker last November.

McLaren is continuing to tease us with glimpses of its new car. We’ve seen it in various camouflaged guises in recent weeks, including at the Geneva Motor Show, but now the dazzle wrap has come off.

Finding an original film car is something special. More often than not, the cars are crushed or traded away only to end up on a ranch in New Mexico. So when one turns up it’s pretty cool. It’s even cooler when that car is the original Lamborghini Miura P400 from the film The Italian Job.

Serious racing game players have some serious set-ups. We’re not just talking about a driving wheel clamped to a desk in a spare bedroom either. No, we mean full-on Gran Turismo driving pods, and half of an Opel Astra.

At this year’s Baikal Ice Motor Sports Festival, Jeep proved that its Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the fastest SUV in the world. Well, on ice at least.

Fans looking to watch live coverage of the 2019 Autobacs Super GT season will have to wait no more.

Given the time and money Toyota has spent on developing the new GR Supra, you’d have to be nuts to challenge it to a race. Specifically, you’d have to be peanuts.

The Mercedes-Benz X-Class is not a bad truck. However, if you’re a fan of vintage trucks it’s not really something you’d give a second glance to. This week’s Want fixes this though. With the body of a Ford F100 and the soul of an SLK, it’s where Americana and Euro-style clash.

Aston Martin has revealed the new, higher performance version of its entry-level Vantage — and, importantly, its manual gearbox.

It should come as no surprise to anyone to learn that the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is fast. A sub-seven-minute lap of the Nurburgring is not within reach of many cars, but the GT2 RS blows that mark out of the water.

Toyota has a bit of a love affair with the Nurburgring. It’s far from alone, but when it tags its top tier sports cars with the “Meisters of the Nurburgring” badge, you know it means business.
