  • hennessey venom gt

    UPDATE: Watch the Hennessey Venom GT Hit 270.49 MPH For some time now, John Hennessey and his team have been making fast cars much faster. In 2011, the Hennessey Venom GT was created in order to offer John's customers something that was capable of going from hyper-legals speeds into hyperspace. It's a wildly powerful and fast machine, and it's been nipping at the heels of the speed record of a behemoth known as the Bugatti Veyron. In order to make a rip at a record run, however, a car needs plenty of room, and that's just something Hennessey hasn't been able to find. Until now. MUST SEE...

  • Zenvo ST1
    A close look at the 1,104-horsepower Zenvo ST1 supercar

    After hitting the auto show scene several years ago with a prototype of a brand new supercar called the ST1, Danish startup Zenvo finally presented the production version in late 2013 at the Dubai Motor Show. For those unfamiliar with Zenvo, the company is aiming to become the next great...

    Chris Harris Drives The McLaren P1 On /DRIVE

    It's not often that we have cause to envy others for their chances to drive awesome cars. But it happens surprisingly often with Chris Harris. Case in point: he's just spent some quality time with the McLaren P1, on the street and on the track. Harris is one of the few people in the world with a...

  • Kimi Raikkonen spins the LaFerrari
    Über-Rich Guys, Don't Feel Bad. Kimi Spun The LaFerrari, Too: Video

    This video does two things. First, it takes some of the edge off the scathing commentary the world is likely to hurl at the first money-rich but talent-poor owner who shuffles their LaFerrari into a hedgerow at triple-digit speeds. Second, it makes us like Kimi just a little bit more. ALSO SEE...

  • McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray
    Gordon Murray: I’ve Got One More Supercar Left In Me

    McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray has revealed that he wants to build a new supercar that could take on the likes of the latest LaFerrari from Ferrari and even the new P1 from his former employer McLaren. He sees those cars’ heavy electrical systems as being too cumbersome and not at all...

  • McLaren 650S

    As members of the press get their hands on McLaren's searing P1 hypercar, few are giving the smaller 12C supercar much attention. The new 650S, leaked over the weekend and due to be presented at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March, is another slightly more realistic proposition from the British brand. The company has now revealed official details on the latest model, which is based on the 12C but offers a host of improvements to set itself apart from the humbler offering. Most noticeable is the P1-inspired design, with a set of sharp LED-laced headlamps, integrated front splitter...

  • 2014 SRT Viper TA
    2014 SRT Viper TA First Drive Video

    An autocross run doesn't have to be long, or wide, to turn into a breeding ground for envy. Make it short, make it quick, whatever. Just bring out a whiteboard to document lap times. All of the sudden, the Italian in everything and everyone comes out: Piloti, Brembo, Borgia, Machiavelli. Then bring...

  • Little girl loves to go fast in her dad's 1,000-horsepower Nissan GT-R
    Cute Little Girl Eggs On Father In 1,000-HP Nissan GT-R

    Racing, driving fast, and customizing cars is often perceived as a man's game. That's not at all the reality, of course--many women share the same passions. Here's a great example: This little girl is one of us. She probably inherited her love for speed from her dad, who owns the modified...

  • Bugatti Legend ‘Jean-Pierre Wimille’ Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse
    Bugatti Holding Back New Model Until Veyron Grand Sport, Vitesse Sell Out

    Bugatti will, eventually, build a new supercar. At least, one has been rumored to be in the works, potentially with hybrid technology, though it may not seek to outperform the quad-turbocharged W-16-powered Veyron, at least at the top end. But Bugatti can't build it until it sells the last of the...

  • McLaren P1 entering race mode
    The Robotic Symphony Of The McLaren P1 Entering Race Mode: Video

    There's no doubt the McLaren P1 is a strong contender--perhaps the top contender--for the title of most advanced road-going car on the planet. But what's it like to take it from its mind-bogglingly fast normal mode into race mode? Well, it takes a while. As this video from Shmee150 illustrates...

    Move Over Aventador, McLaren’s P1 Is The New King Of Flames: Video

    The Lamborghini Aventador is well known for its fire-spitting abilities, with one of the cars recently being used to cook a Christmas turkey. Well, it looks like we can crown a new car with the admittedly made-up title of ‘King Of Flames’, the McLaren P1. The guys at Shmee150 were down...

  • Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4

    Lamborghini’s Gallardo-replacing Huracán is a surefire hit, with the Italian sports car manufacturer racking up 700 orders in just one month since the car first went on sale. To put into perspective just how big of a deal 700 orders for the Huracán is, last year Lamborghini sold just 2,121 cars in total. Of course, there’s been plenty of pent-up demand for the new raging bull as its predecessor was on the market for 10 long years. Lamborghini has been quietly showing off the Huracán to VIP clients around the world. We’ll be getting our first look at the...

    Guy Fieri Lamborghini Thief Gets Life In Prison, Spy-Grade Theft Caught On Video

    Three years ago, we brought you the news that spiky-haired bro-chef Guy Fieri's 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo had been stolen from a dealership. The thief had rappelled in, cut the lock, and driven away. That was known at the time, but what wasn't known was who had stolen the car, or where it was. A...

  • Bugatti Veyron EB 18.4 concept, 1999 Tokyo Motor Show

    The Bugatti Veyron is nearing the end of its run, with less than 50 build slots for the car remaining. In what could very well be the car’s last year on the market, Bugatti is now celebrating the Veyron, starting with the display of the original Veyron EB 18.4 concept car at the Salon Rétromobile classic car event taking place in Paris this week. DON'T MISS: Alpha Nissan GT-R Destroys The Quarter Mile In 8.11: Video For those unfamiliar with the Veyron EB 18.4, it was a concept car developed to preview a new supercar for the Bugatti brand, which had just been acquired by the...

    Meet The Cars Of The Need For Speed Movie: Video

    Today’s console and computer games often have as much plot and back story as a Hollywood action flick, and the various iterations of Electronic Arts’ Need For Speed series is no exception to this rule--so it shouldn’t have been much of a surprise that the popular video game series...

    Switzer Nissan GT-R Hits 1,212 HP On The Dyno

    Running 33 psi of boost is, by some standards, not all that extreme. Running 33 psi of boost in a flame-spitting Nissan GT-R built for the purpose by Switzer is nutty. Our kind of nutty. Like 1,212-horsepower nutty. Of course, that's horsepower at the crank. At the wheels you'll find...

    2015 Lamborghini Huracán Caught In The Wild Again: Video

    The bright orange Lamborghini Huracán in this video appears to be the first Huracan to make it to the U.S., and its first mission: to go tail out, fast, in front of a camera truck. The second video of the lambent Lambo can be seen below, wherein it dodges debris and revs happily for the...
