Performance

Through an array of technological wizardry, the Acura TLX Type S makes you grin in the corners without frowning in the straights.

Two versions of the 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL will be offered at launch: the SL55 and more powerful SL63.

Chevrolet says the new 2023 Corvette Z06 has been “hiding in plain sight,” as it shares a chassis, exhaust sounds, similar engine architecture and exterior proportions with the racing model.

The 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance replaces a 311-horsepower, naturally aspirated V-6 with an honest-to-God 5.0-liter V-8 engine delivering 472 hp and 395 pounds-feet of torque.

Some versions of the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 don’t drive much differently from an optioned-up Mustang GT, but other Mach 1s could be quite transformative.

The 2022 Honda Civic Si will be the first of the sportier Civics to arrive later this year with updates to its powertrain, suspension, multimedia and safety tech.

Ford’s being stingy with details of its Raptor version of the new Bronco, so we went to our staff to speculate what we’d like to see (or avoid) in the upcoming SUV.

A teaser video of the SUV showed a portion of the headlights and grille, with the grille appearing to replace the Bronco’s all-caps “Bronco” emblem with an all-caps “Ford.”

The 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition, an entertaining, raucous and unhinged beast, has slightly better steering feel and is a bit louder inside than other versions of the CTR.

The 2022 WRX switches to Subaru’s global platform, gets a larger-displacement turbocharged engine, adds a new GT trim level with extra performance goodies and reprises the prior generation’s continuously variable automatic transmission.
