Richard Teague: American Automobile Design’s Unsung Hero
Some would argue that all true artists give outward form to internal issues. A quick glance at Dick Teague’s resume wouldn’t lead you to suspect otherwise; he must have had serious inner strife – how else can you explain the AMC Pacer?
Except this is to trivialise the work of one of the most consistently resourceful automotive designers of the past five decades; one who could rustle up a new model armed with little more than a vivid imagination and access to a parts bin.

2018 Bentley Bentayga V8
The view from Kitzbühel’s summit is classic cinemascope, a 360-degree spin of the surrounding Alps complete with snow-capped mountaintops and a miniaturized village below.

Waking up the 2019 Audi A8 invokes a brief but dazzling light show where photons pulse across hundreds of LED and OLED elements within the headlamps and tail lamps. The fleeting welcome sequence flourishes with two blue glows adjacent to night-piercing laser diodes, the pièce de résistance of a sophisticated lighting system that uses GPS data to illuminate the next bend before the driver turns the steering wheel.

Toyota TRD Pro Lineup Gets Foxy for 2019
No, that’s not a weird Jimi Hendrix reference in the headline. Rather, it’s a reference to the Fox shocks fitted to all three 2019 Toyota TRD Pro models, which were just revealed at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show.
