We’ve all heard it before: X race car is totally based on the production car—no, really it is—and that means you should, like, completely buy the road car because, therefore, it’s awesome. Except that that’s rarely the actual case. With the 2017 Audi R8, it’s...

An uber-rare 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail is up for sale, and making this one just that little bit more special is its “Top Gear” sponsorship stickers. Yes, this classic racer was briefly sponsored by Top Gear the magazine back in 1997 when it competed in the FIA GT Championship under...
