13 Most Iconic F1 Cars of All Time

There’s street racing, there’s NASCAR, and then there’s F1. F1 courses are notably more technical than other close-circuit courses, and F1 cars are a beast well-prepared for that burden. F1 cars travel well over 200mph and cost millions of dollars to build. Traveling at 220mph and navigating technical terrain means making immediate decisions, and the car has to respond instantaneously. But not all F1 cars are created equally, either. Over the years, there have been some shining-star examples of how an F1 build should be done. Here are the 13 most iconic F1 cars of all time, not because they cost the most money, have particular specs, or because they look the cleanest, but because they crushed their season.

GM’s Faulty Gearbox Class-Action Conundrum

Oh, the joys of modern automotive technology.

A Sheltered Life In Upstate New York Turned This 1967 Buick Electra 225 Into A Time Capsule

In hindsight, witnessing the replacement of long-heralded model names during the late Fifties shouldn’t have come as a surprise to the public. A case study is Buick. While Special, Super, Century, Roadmaster, and Limited spoke volumes about each model’s purpose and division hierarchy, those names–which began appearing in 1935–had inevitably lost some punch.

13 Pricey Sports Cars and Their Affordable Alternatives

Porsche recently unveiled the latest iteration of the quintessential sports car – the 992.2-gen Porsche 911. We predict you’ll be hearing a lot about this sports car for a long time. Even folks who’ve never seen the inside of the car will have plenty to say about the 911’s departure from its traditional naturally-aspirated flat-sixes to a hybrid drive system. It marks the first time in over six decades that Porsche would equip a road-going 911 with a hybrid powertrain. It probably won’t matter what you think of this shift if you can’t fork over around $115,000 to get one. It doesn’t have to be a sad reality, though. There’s always an Emira for every Evija: A 370Z for every 8 Series. Indeed, the market brims with alternatives that capture these elite sports cars’ spirit, performance, and excitement at a fraction of the cost.

Here’s the thing. Since 1963, McLaren has built a name for itself as a top-tier track-focused performance car automaker, annihilating its European competitors like Ferrari and Lamborghini on and off the track. As such, the appropriate thing to say is not cheap but attainable. These are the McLaren models (used and new) that fall under the bracket of ‘affordable’ supercars (we tweaked the title to avoid any confusion). We’ve also included the average price and reasons why they’d be considered affordable, even though they carry an emblem synonymous with premium automotive performance excellence.

13 Japanese SUVs That’ll Last You a Lifetime

If there’s one thing that Japanese automakers like Toyota, Subaru, and Honda are known for, it’s their bulletproof reliability. This reputation was largely earned by small cars like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, but their SUVs have also lived up to the high reliability standards gearheads have come to expect from Japanese cars. SUVs are currently the best-selling vehicles in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Few vehicles can match the versatility SUVs offer — they’re good-looking (well, some of them), spacious enough for the whole family, capable of driving through tough terrains and weather conditions, and can be fast if you opt for their performance versions. However, all these qualities are useless if the SUV keeps breaking down on you, which is why it’s important to prioritize reliability. Using reliable resources like J.D. Power, RepairPal, and CarEdge, we scoured the market and found some of the most reliable Japanese SUVs you can buy today, including new and used options.
