  • Ferrari LaFerrari testing on the Nordschleife spy shots

    The wraps have already come off the Ferrari LaFerrari, though many of its specifications remain stated in "at least" and "more than" terms. Perhaps that's because Ferrari hasn't finalized things just yet--and why it's out testing the car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Shown here as test drivers push it hard around the famously difficult circuit, the LaFerrari being tested looks to be essentially identical to the car shown at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, though it is wearing a camouflage wrap over about two-thirds of its body. Our spy photographers tell us not to expect any record lap...

  • Over 100 Lamborghinis, in the rain, around a hairpin turn
    100 Lamborghinis & A Mountain Switchback In The Rain: Video

    It's not often you'll see 100 Lamborghinis in the same place, much less such a nice cross-section of the many generations and styles of the famed Italian supercar brand's automotive excess. Here, you get more than 100 of them, scooting at varying velocities around a mountain hairpin turn. In the...

  • McLaren P1
    McLaren P1 Mega Gallery

    McLaren’s new P1 supercar recently underwent final testing and the first cars have already run down the production line. McLaren will build just 375 examples, at a rate of one per day, and one of the cars has already been sold to comedian Jay Leno. It’s not clear if McLaren has any...

  • Keating The Bolt
    Keating reveals The Bolt supercar

    British supercar manufacturer Keating is back with a new model called The Bolt. Keating has clearly taken a leaf out of Ferrari’s book on naming, though The Bolt is still a prototype so the name could change by the time production starts. The Bolt is Keating’s follow up to its previous...

  • McLaren and Forza Motorsport team up for #ForzaFilmspeed
    Forza Motorsport 5 & McLaren 'FilmSpeed' Mesmerizes

    Teased yesterday, the collaboration between McLaren and Forza Motorsport 5 to create a flipbook-style animation from a series of still images strung around the perimeter of a race track, filmed from an MP4-12C has come to life. This is Forza FilmSpeed. We can't really imagine a more impractical way...

    McLaren And Forza Motorsport Team Up For Giant Flip-Book Animation

    Remember flip books? If you're over 30 years of age, you probably played with them as a kid. You know, before we all had GameBoys in our pockets. A bunch of images are drawn on successive pages, and when you flip through them, an animated scene comes to life. Now imagine doing that with a McLaren...

  • 9ff Porsche GT9-R

    The European car market continues to decline as the economies of most of its nations spiral downward, and the toll on the upper end of the custom and tuner segment continues to rise. Porsche-specific tuner companies 9ff and speedART have both filed for insolvency protection in Germany this month. They join Wiesmann, Artega, Melkus, and Gumpert among the fallen, and while there aren't many tuner/custom/boutique car companies left at this point, 9ff and speedART aren't likely to be the last. All of these companies have gone under in the past 18 months. 9ff is perhaps best known for its 257-mph...

  • Texan couple owns 65 Viper supercars
    Meet The Couple With 65 Vipers: Video

  • Ferrari engine

    Talk of Ferrari once again using a turbocharged engine dates back all the way to 2008 but even though we’re yet to see the automaker head in that direction, the rumors persist. In fact, we’re expecting Ferrari’s replacement for the California, which is due out next year, to feature a turbocharged engine. According to Motor Trend most of the automaker’s future lineup will come with a blower. The main reason is stricter emissions and fuel consumption regulations, though a move to turbocharged V-6 engines in Formula One is also a factor. Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa has...

The Viper has already earned its place...

    The McLaren MP4-12C is one of the most capable and potent supercars on the planet. It's a street machine that borrows knowledge gleaned from engineers that are used to creating vehicles capable of winning Formula One races. It should be of no surprise then that the 12C is as good as it is. Still...

  • Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse
    Bugatti’s New Supercar May Not Eclipse Veyron Super Sport’s Top Speed

    Bugatti is working on a successor for its Veyron supercar, which is due in about two years, only Bugatti isn’t calling it a successor since, according to the brand’s CEO, you cannot succeed the Veyron. That means Bugatti’s new supercar isn't likely to eclipse the Veyron Super...

  • Mansory's Aventador Carbonado  -  2013 Frankfurt Motor Show
    Mansory Turns To Stealth With Aventador-Based Carbonado

    Mansory is not known for producing anything close to being subtle. Its vehicle designs are typically way over-the-top affairs that lead to polarizing opinions.

A new special edition has...

  • Ferrari 458 Speciale, 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show

    One of the most popular cars at this week’s Frankfurt Auto Show, the Ferrari 458 Speciale, also happens to be one of the most technologically advanced. There are so many intricate systems present that it’s hard to get a grasp on how the technologies all help make this hardcore 458 variant one of the fastest road cars ever launched by Ferrari. They span the entire car and include both Ferrari patents and world firsts, particularly with regard to the engine, active aerodynamics and electronic controls. Whether on the road or track, the driver of a 458 Speciale is said to be able to...
