  • Chris Harris tests the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

    Introduced at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari’s F12 Berlinetta remains one of the most capable sports cars on the planet. Chris Harris found this out recently, after spending a week with the car and taking it out to an empty track to burn some rubber. How much rubber? Well, about five sets of tires in just one day. That might sound shocking but it wouldn’t be too hard to do when you have a 6.3-liter V-12, good for 729 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque, nestled under the hood. Mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, the engine provides enough thrust to get the car...

    Switzer-Tuned Nissan GT-R Hits 250 MPH In One-Mile Blast: Video

    The Switzer Goliath is a Nissan GT-R that's been worked over to produce gobs of horsepower. Gobs, of course, is a very technical term that means "a whole hunk of." In this case, the gobs refers to a figure north of 1,700 horsepower, and that's plenty to propel the GT-R down the Dragtimes dragstrip...

  • Lamborghini Veneno Roadster

    The first images and details for Lamborghini’s new Veneno Roadster have hit the web. The car is the convertible version of the Veneno coupe first shown at the 2013 Geneva Motor show, which was limited to just four examples in total. But unlike the coupe, Lamborghini is planning as many as nine Veneno Roadsters, each priced at a cool 3.3 million euros (approximately $4.5 million). News of the Veneno Roadster first broke as early as July and the car was confirmed by Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann just one month later. Now we have the details on the open-top version of a car originally...

  • 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series

    Yesterday we learned that the SLS AMG would be phased out soon, with its role as the flagship Mercedes-Benz sports car to be taken up by a smaller and more agile model likely to be called the AMG GT. Fans of the big gullwing needn’t be too sad, however, as a direct replacement is planned, though it may be some time before we see it. The information was revealed to Car Sales by outgoing AMG boss Ola Källenius. He explained that the SLS AMG was a huge success for AMG and helped put the Affalterbach tuner on the map, in terms of standalone sports car manufacturing. At the same time...

Here, we see the Venom GT chasing a Hennessey-modified Nissan GT-R during...
