Canada’s favorite word is “sorry”. It’s so pervasive we literally have a law on the books that uttering it isn’t an admission of guilt. But you wouldn’t know it at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park — or more affectionately, simply Mosport, its original name. No, here, about an hour outside of Toronto, one word rises up above the trees:

Badge engineering, for better or worse, is commonplace in the automotive world.

It’s one of the fastest cars on the road already, but now the McLaren 720S is about to make its debut as a race car too.

Lamborghini has pulled the wraps off its newest incarnation of the Aventador at Pebble Beach Automotive Week. The new Aventador SVJ is the crowning jewel of Lamborghini’s flagship supercar and becomes its fastest road car ever made.

After a tease lasting a little over a month, Bugatti has taken the cover off its newest model.

Audi teased us a couple of weeks ago with a carefully crafted image of a new concept car.

The BMW Z4 concept made its debut at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Now a year later, BMW is taking the cover off the production version.

At last year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Infiniti stunned us with the Prototype 9. Now the company is back for this year’s event with a new concept. Aptly named the Prototype 10, it’s equally as stunning.

Car manufacturers spend billions ensuring that our cars can withstand the worst the weather can throw at them. They take prototypes to the world’s hottest and coldest places and wring their necks to make sure they don’t let us down.

Over the years, the Japanese auto industry has given us some incredible cars. However, one of these cars stands out to us the most. That’s why for this week’s Want we’re focusing in on the Toyota 2000GT, perhaps one of the best Japanese cars ever made.

Australian Touring Car racing is quite simply some of the best racing you could ever watch. The V8 Supercars series features four-door, family sedans packing naturally aspirated, five-liter V8 engines. These send 645hp straight to the rear wheels. With some of the closest and most intense white-knuckle racing in the world, there’s little wonder it’s so popular.

As we revealed last week, Ford has become the first car manufacturer to unveil a vehicle at the Gamescom gaming show in Cologne.

Over the years James Bond has found his way behind the wheel of several cars. Since the Sunbeam Tiger in Dr. No, Bond has driven everything from Alfa to ZAZ. He’s even got behind the wheel of the glamorous Ford Mondeo in Casino Royale.

24 hour endurance races are quite simply the pinnacle of circuit racing. Man and machine are pushed to their very limit in the ultimate test of finding the perfect balance of speed and staying power. Braving the daylight cycle, the elements, and the opposition, the racing is fierce and the stakes high; surviving the entire 24 hours is the sweetest success for most of the competitors.

Ford just built its 10 millionth Mustang and while that does call for a celebration, it’s not the only thing. Now to honor the 50th anniversary of its turnkey drag car, Ford is bringing a new Mustang to the stable, the Cobra Jet.

McLaren has announced Renault Sport driver Carlos Sainz Jr. as its replacement for the retiring Fernando Alonso.

BMW has sprung another leak. Once again, super-secret images that haven’t even appeared in press releases marked “Embargo” yet are turning up online.

The 1980s and 90s saw some rather strange cars hit the roads. The emphasis was on the future and it showed in nearly every radical new design. Supercars were no exception to this either. That’s why for this week’s Want we’re taking a look at two of these cars from Vector.

Ah, road trips. Being stuck in a car for hours on end, forced to listen to whatever the people in the front of the car settle on. Or shoving your headphones in and missing out on all the conversation and jokes.

Automakers spend a ton of time and money to name their products. They often want something that conveys emotion without being offensive. It’s hard work for sure; for every Lamborghini Countach, there’s a Ford Probe. But Geely thinks it’s found a solution to this — let the internet do it.
