Aston Martin Works is teaming up with a special effects artist to build 28 Goldfinger DB5s. With working gadgets. The company's previous DB4 G.T. continuation project went well, so now Aston is at it again. The 28 Goldfinger cars (25 for the public, one each for EON Productions, Aston, and a charity auction) will be based on the legendary DB

Sean Connery was James Bond. Others would play the character but the late Sir Sean, who died this week aged 90, would give Bond his signature swagger, mixed with a wry sense of humour. In print, Ian Fleming’s Bond was dashing but perhaps a little cold. Connery made the Bond films fun. And he gave us James Bond’s lasting association with Aston Ma

The latest in automotive luxury from Aston Martin is a lair. We're not even exaggerating here. It's called Aston Martin Automotive Galleries and Lairs and it's designed to give you a place to put your ride that's as special as the car you're putting in it. Under the ocean or on a mountainside. It's not Aston's first venture into real estate. The

Tired of trying to find tires for your classic car? Pirelli has just announced it is delivering a new line of tires that add modern tech to classic sizes and models. The Pirelli Collezione gives owners of classic and vintage cars improved performance and reliability combined with the period look of their original tire models. Fitments include ti

Vancouver, British Columbia – Perhaps it’s appropriate that Vancouver – now dubbed "the city of millionaires" since you can’t buy a house in Vancouver for under $1 million – was once again home to the annual Luxury & Supercar Weekend (LSW), held under sunny skies at picturesque VanDusen Botanical Garden, on September 10 and 11. Organizers descr

World leaders get to drive around in cool cars. Or at least they get to be driven around in them. No average family sedans for the top elected (and some not elected) officials in the world. They get the best from Audi, BMW, Mercedes, or the top model from their local automakers. Some world leaders have official cars that stand out. Limos you wou

There are few better examples of the perfect American time capsule than Hot Wheels diecast models. Today, almost 60 years after the first run of Hot Wheels (ten cars in total – can you name ‘em?), they continue to produce both current models and classics from years gone by. If you want to know what was popular, what was sought after back in 1

I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car, A brilliant red barchetta from a better vanished time. We’ll fire up the willing engine responding with a roar. Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime. –Rush, “Red Barchetta” Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Canadian prog-rock band Rush, has died, aged sixty-seven. Priv

Turn 10 games is launching the seventh version of the Forza Motorsports series this fall. They're claiming more than 700 cars to pick from, more than any other game in the series. Now, via Autoblog , they've revealed the first 167 on the list. This list is just a sample of what will be on offer, but there is no shortage of exotics on this list.

Playground Games has revealed over 160 vehicles for Forza Horizon 3 , scheduled for release at the end of September. Series fans will note the return of many classic favourites – such as the BMW M3, the Toyota Supra, or the Lamborghini Huracan which graced the cover of Forza Horizon 2 – but look closer at the list and you'll see why we're carefu

Someday, they tell us, the automobile will be fit only as a museum piece. We'll commute by self-piloted pods or Futurama-like tubes, or by simply projecting our consciousness into our iPhone 58S. But which museums are the best ones to go and visit our long-lost wheeled friends, when the time comes? For that, we'll have to wait and see; for now,

Although it comes in for a lot of criticism, product placement in TV and movies is here to stay. It obviously works for all involved. Producers vacuum up some more cash (they're insatiable), while companies get to put their products in front of millions of eyeballs, and always in situations to make those products look good. What automaker wouldn't

Few sports cars can command the same attention and allure as an Aston Martin. Some 56 years after Sean Connery drove a DB5 in the James Bond film Goldfinger , the brand is still synonymous with the suave, debonair double agent. Of the many sports cars and supercars I was fortunate enough to pilot this year, the 2020 Aston Martin Vanta

Is it just me, or have classic second-generation Chevrolet Chevelle SS's lately become the automotive equivalent of Star Trek's red-shirted security officers? Because whenever the camera pans over the sleekly powerful profile of a rumbling Chevelle SS, you just know it's doomed. It's as if there's some sort of not-so-secret Hollywood conspiracy

Update:  We've updated the vehicle list with everything revealed so far. With Forza Horizon 3's Australian setting, Playground Games wanted more than just the recognizable sights of the Great Ocean Road or the barren Outback. They also wanted the cars to give a connection to the country the game is set in. The new batch of cars revealed ahead of
