O Arden é mais forte, mais alto e mais agressivo

What would make coupe fans opt for a more traditional two-door model like the Mercedes-Benz E400 instead of its bigger brother, the CLS with four doors? Also: does the Volkswagen Arteon stand a chance against the Mercedes CLS?

The Paris Motor Show features the automotive world of tomorrow. In 2016 Mercedes-Benz introduced their “Generation EQ” and Volkswagen announced to build 20 new electrified models by 2020, possibly in order to distract from the emission scandal.

Smart offers its iconic city car with a convertible option. The Mini cabriolet is bigger and provides room for four people. When it comes to roadster feeling, the Mazda MX-5 is on top of the list. We took a closer look at these three open-top contenders.

The Porsche Cayman GT4 combined the best elements that Porsche could offer: the V6 Boxer engine from the 911 Carrera S, the chassis, brake system and aerodynamics from the GT3, and a six-gear transmission. In addition: the Audi R8 V10 plus, an even stronger, lighter and faster version of the original model.

The development of engineering at BMW has always been closely linked to motorsport. Racing has always played a decisive role in shaping the brand and setting the pace for its future.

Racing has been a matter of the heart for Ford for over 100 years. Henry Ford already wins the first race with his first car. Thousands of other victories were to follow.

The Porsche 550 Spyder is small and fast, but only 140 units were built. It was Porsche's first racing sports car and laid the foundation for the German manufacturer to be considered a force in car racing today.

The emphatically sporty cars and motorbikes of BMW are equally successful with customers and in racing. However, the former aircraft engine manufacturer's entry into automobile production threatened to fail at an early stage.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG is the ultimate German muscle car in a tailor-made suit. Also: the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the Formula 1 safety car. And: BMW's 6 series models.

The Nurburgring 24 Hours is considered the most difficult long distance race in motor sports. Volkswagen set themselves this challenge with a car built especially for this occasion, their Golf 24.

We put the Wiesmann MF5 at the racetrack in Spa-Francochamps in the Belgian Ardennes to the test. Also: Audi A1 vs. Mini Cooper RS. And: the GT Academy 2011 qualifying rounds.

More efficiency, less weight and more sportiness is what Audi promotes in order to win the race against BMW and Mercedes with their A6 2.0 TDI. Also: Patrick Dempsey and his racing team at the Grand Am Rolex Sportscar GT series.

Audi built only 333 units of its GT model. We tested the everyday use compatibility of the R8 GT. In addition: the Mazda MX5, the most popular roadster in the world. And: the Mercedes-AMG GT3.

We took the Ferrari 458 Italia for a spring ride around Lake Starnberg. Also: a test drive of BMW's 6 series convertible at the Table Mountain in South Africa. And: the Chevrolet Orlando family van.
