Automobile US - September/October 2017

In this issue

Act Eight - Rolls-Royce’s all-new Phantom signifies the marque’s reclamation of past glory, regardless of whether or not it’s the best car in the world.

New and Future Cars - Our special annual look at what the market has in store is bigger and better than ever, with more than 100 vehicles that deserve serious consideration. From economical and family-friendly offerings to the latest all-electric options to multi-million-dollar hypercars, there is plenty of goodness in store.

Moon Shot - Humans have not set foot on the moon since 1972, when Apollo 17 astronauts left their lunar rover behind. But Audi has teamed with Part-Time Scientists to develop a new, unmanned Lunar Quattro rover, two of which are scheduled to return to the satellite in 2018 to assess their predecessor’s condition.

Gesundheit - Three years since the initial installment of Luftgekühlt, the Los Angeles gathering of air-cooled Porsche enthusiasts continues to grow. We pay a satisfying visit to the fourth edition of this treasure trove of automotive-culture coolness.

The Still-Affordable Porsche - Not everyone loves the ’70s-era 914, but the mid-engine car is a financially viable alternative for German sports-car loyalists. Also, we look at auction results from RM Sotheby’s in L.A. and Bonhams at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
