The entire superbike category really hit its stride in the mid-to-late ’80s, when manufacturers’ top-end motorcycles came to resemble their racing bikes […]
My car, the 2017 Volvo S90, is exiting the highway and it doesn’t want my help. In fact, with my feet off the brake and my hands not required, I’m typing these words in my phone (which Volvo doesn’t officially recommend, by the way). I’m coasting 75 mph on the autovia when my knees flex […]
Seconds later it’s followed by a 427 Cobra, its massive, American V8 screaming in reply. Then follows an original GT40. Then a Cobra 289. A GT350, again. Another GT40. On a sunny, breezy day in the South of France, 45 minutes east of Marseilles, a 1960s Shelby Mustang GT350 comes charging down the front straight […]

Dinner and conversation had paused while Jeff Zwart, Pikes Peak racing champion and an absolute joy of a man, spoke cheerfully about driving a 911 off the side of the mountain, where it was caught by the treetops below. On the same road where I was […]

It’s much the same with cars — new tech is developed all the time, but not all of it sticks around in perpetuity.

Yet the husband-and-wife team of Alec and Jan Forman did just that in 1977, traversing 40,000 miles over the span of 29 countries at the wheel of their trusty Land Rover Series III.
