There's subtle, and then there's 2021 BMW M550i xDrive subtle. Not quite the feistiest of the new 5 Series line-up, the M550i promises nine-tenths of the horsepower of the range-topping M5 but wrapped up in an altogether more surreptitious package. That's bad news for those who love to stand out in their sports sedan, but an appealing prospect for those who prefer to fly under the radar.

Singer has made a name for itself taking classic Porsche cars and restoring them with a fastidious attention to detail, but nothing quite prepared us for the Singer All-terrain Competition Study.

Would-be Tesla rival Byton has inked a deal with Foxconn, with the automaker tapping the iPhone-maker to help build its all-electric car. The Byton M-Byte was first unveiled in 2018, a premium SUV with which the startup aimed to take on Tesla, Audi, and others in the growing high-end EV market.
Bentley's path to a fully-electric future continues, with the new Bentayga Hybrid SUV bringing a gas-electric drivetrain to the automaker's luxury best-seller. Joining the 2021 Bentayga V8 and the Bentayga Speed, this third iteration is arguably the most appealing, given just how much sense hybrids make in the high-end luxe segments.
Honda has come up with an obvious solution to protect car owners from COVID-19 infection. In a new press release, Honda Japan is introducing its latest Kurumaku cabin air filter.
