Minichamps McLaren MP4-12C

1:18 | $249.00 McLaren’s latest supercar has a name more suited to an inventory sheet than evoking romance. No lilting turns of phrase attached to seasonal winds, exotic faraway lands, or famous fighting bulls here; in fact, the handle bestowed on this otherwise glorious machine – MP4-12C – could denote a refrigerator part.

AUTOart 1:18 Mercedes G-Klasse: Klasse Act

Not much has changed on the outside of Mercedes-Benz’ G-class SUV since it debuted in 1979, but the super-rugged machine, first developed as a military vehicle, has had a ton of refinements from within. The first examples, called “G-Wagen” (for “Gelandewagen”, roughly translated as “watch me climb this wall“), were co-manufactured by Daimler-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch, […]

For the 348, most were subtle, like the millimetric changes to its width and wheelbase, or the mild reshuffling of its […]
