We won’t lie: We were a bit disappointed to find out that we wouldn’t be able to drive the 1910 Benz 21/80 Prinz Heinrich car at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.
The Nissan GT-R has been on a constant upswing in terms of power and performance—as illustrated by this nifty chart—and that was long before Nissan unveiled the Track Edition at the Chicago auto show in February. It seems rather fitting, then, that Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn would declare, “It would be unthinkable for us to develop a range of NISMO road cars without including the GT-R.” Who are we to argue with Carlos Ghosn? What followed was a confirmation from Nissan that the GT-R would, …

Throughout the time gasoline power has held a stranglehold of the automobile marketplace, there had been one other propulsion choice making a small but effective impact. It was February 23rd of 1893 when a German inventor named Rudolf Diesel received the patent for his unique engine. Through a combination of trial…
