High M-tensity
Car and Driver
|December 2022
BMW's M4 CSL is the ultimate M car, and it’s not for the faint of heart.
2023 BMW M4 CSL
At an indicated 170 mph in the 2023 BMW M4 CSL, on the autobahn between Munich and Passau, we muster the last crumbs of courage and stretch out the right foot all the way. Guess what happens? The thing downshifts into seventh at a ludicrous 5800 rpm, a token 1400 rpm below the redline, ignoring the danger to our ancient heart. At 186 mph sharp, it upshifts back into eighth, still accelerating, but now with the digital speed readout increasing by 1-mph increments. Theoretically, BMW caps this ultimate M car at 191 mph. But what looks at first like a barely noticeable kink up ahead in the freeway suddenly feels like a very serious corner. "Never Lift"? T-shirts rarely tell the true story, but the rearview mirror always does. And it showed us grinning from ear to ear.

The Best Odds
The cars I recall most fondly were neither the prettiest nor the quickest. Certainly not the most expensive. They were machines that emerged willfully peculiar and intractably idiosyncratic.

Forget the bestseller list—we’re stacking our to-read pile with novels in which cars are the main characters.
IT WAS A MEDIOCRE BOOK, the kind you pick up at the airport and forget by the time you get to baggage claim. I couldn't tell you the plot, but I can tell you which cars were in it. I remember because they were unusual models: an Oldsmobile 442, a Dodge Shelby Charger, and a '73 Plymouth Road Runner.

Time to Re-Tire
Ford Maverick Lobo HIGHS: Raucous Lobo mode, shrewd parts-bin upgrades, rad (standard) wheels. LOWS: Not so sporty in other modes, no extra horsepower, would be a lot cooler if it had a grippier tire.
