Perhaps its divine punishment for that awful, gaudy Polo shirt, but some poor shmuck’s Ferrari 458 Italia went up in flames in Paris earlier this month.

Then there is the second segment, the uber-wealthy,...

Front wheel drive cars and big power are usually a winning formula to make a car handle like your worst nightmare.

To be...

Gentlemen, turn up your speakers. The title really needs no further explanation. A Lotus Exige S, Bugatti Veyron and a Ferrari F430 get together and go toe-to-toe on Laguna Seca.
