Supercars

  • McLaren P1

    McLaren is reportedly working on a new supercar to fill the void in its lineup between the 12C and the million-dollar-plus P1. Such positioning would put the new McLaren, code-named the P15, up against the likes of the Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] F12 Berlinetta and Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. News of the P15’s existence was confirmed to Autocar by McLaren Automotive boss Mike Flewitt. He is reported to have said the car will feature a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and mid-mounted twin-turbo V-8, and is still quite some time away from launch. Flewitt’s description of the car suggests...

    A McLaren F1 race car once piloted by ex-Formula One driver J.J. Lehto was sold at auction over the weekend for a staggering $5,280,000.

  • McLaren P1 laps the Nürburgring
    McLaren P1 May Have Lapped 'Ring In 6 minutes And 30+ Seconds

    McLaren has been rather coy with a potentially juicy tidbit pertaining to its P1 supercar. Specifically, we're talking about just how fast the ultra-exotic can scoot around the Nürburgring. To some, this is a meaningless stat that only matters to automakers to serve as a bullet point for...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50° Anniversario

    Last year wasn’t a sales record for Lamborghini, but the Italian manufacturer of some very tasty supercars did come close. It registered 2,121 sales in 2013 despite one of its two models, the Gallardo, bowing out of the market. Lamborghini’s sales record remains the 2,406 units it sold in 2008, but with the Aventador’s sales momentum expected to continue and the stunning new Huracán due out soon, 2014 might just see the record broken. Thanks to the Aventador, 2013, Lamborghini’s 50th, has been the marque’s most successful year of V-12 model sales: 1,001...

    One thing we've learned over the last few years is that the Dubai police fleet is not one to mess with.

    The Porsche Carrera GT has a reputation as a bit of a tricky car--a fact that was pushed beyond reason in the weeks following Paul Walker's death in one, alongside racing driver Roger Rodas. But if the Carrera GT is difficult to drive, it's because it's essentially a snazzed-up, road-legal...
