Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT8 and V12 Vantage S Track Drive
 
This is not the infamous Nordschleife Green Hell, but the tarred, broad catwalk that is Nurburgring's Grand Prix track. We're here with the all-new Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT8 in green-and-lime flavor and an orange-over-white V12 Vantage S. Both were born in the surrounding Eifel Mountains where Aston Martin's deputy R&D chief Wolfgang Schuhbauer honed the limited-edition models.

2017 124 Fiat Spider Abarth vs. 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club
 
The new 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Elaborazione Abarth and 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club Sport are the best antidotes for the coming onslaught of autonomous vehicles.
