Why Was the Mazdaspeed Miata a One-Hit Wonder?

The MX-5 Miata is very fun to drive, but Mazda’s affordable sports car isn’t precisely overwhelmed with power. As a result, engine swaps and aftermarket turbo kits are popular amongst the Mazda Miata fanbase. However, the automaker briefly did offer a version with a bit more juice: the Mazdaspeed Miata. But it’s a model Mazda …

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Is Still Wonderful Without a Roof

Originally, many high-end automakers had independent coachbuilders design and assemble their cars’ bodies. And Aston Martin was no different. In fact, one of its most iconic cars, James Bond’s DB5, was designed via a licensed version of Italian coachbuilder Superleggera’s construction system. And to pay tribute, the company’s name appears on the British carmaker’s newest …

The Porsche 718 Spyder Lets the GT4 Soak up Some Sun

The 718 Boxster and Cayman may be some of the cheapest Porsches, but in terms of driving dynamics, they’re by no means de-contented. However, the mid-engine sports cars’ standard engines have been repeatedly criticized for their uninspiring sound. The six-cylinder Cayman GT4 partially rectified this. And now, that same engine has found its way into …
