Jaguar’s C-X75 concept car from 2011 has one of the most visually striking designs of modern times and, on paper at least, the performance to match those good looks. With so much going for it, why then did Jaguar choose to kill the project just over a year out from its scheduled launch. At the time of the project’s cancelation, in late 2012, Jaguar said the poor financial climate coupled with higher priorities at the company were the main reasons behind the decision to pull the plug on its plug-in hybrid supercar (excuse the pun). However, the fact that Ferrari, McLaren and...

Porsche 918 Spyder In The Valley Of Fire: Video
The Porsche 918 Spyder may not reach quite to the same stratospheric heights--on paper--that the McLaren P1 and LaFerrari hyper-hybrids do, but it's no slouch, either. Better yet, you can still order one. Here, we see a new video of a 918 Spyder prototype in hot weather testing in the Valley of...

Less than 24 hours after we posted news that Lamborghini was set to preview its Gallardo replacement with a new concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, the first spy shots of a prototype for the actual car have surfaced. Complete shots of the heavily camouflaged prototype can be seen on the Facebook pages of car spotters Marchettino and Shmee150 and reveal many of the new car’s details. Namely, Lamborghini’s Gallardo replacement, which many are suggesting will be called the “Cabrera,” will be similar in size and proportion to the Gallardo. Though it’s still too...

American Supercar Brands Rossion And Mosler Merged
Mosler Automotive, founded by Warren Mosler during the 1980s, had a knack for making really awesome road cars that looked horrible, although it could be argued that Mosler's original Consulier GTP had a very cool 'form follows function' quality to it. By the late 1990s, Mosler started work on a new...

A BMW M1 Is Breathtaking, Even Standing Still
BMW internal code E26 is a pretty damn special one. It refers to the wedge-shaped wonder that is the M1. Produced from 1978 through 1981, just 456 production examples were produced, and it remains the only mass-produced (we're using that phrase liberally here) mid-engine BMW ever made. It's also...

Own Three Ferrari Legends For $6 Million
Owning a Ferrari is, we assume, both a wondrous and worrisome time in one's life. The car is a work of art that enjoys being driven near its limit. It's also a fickle beast that demands constant care, which costs big bucks. If you can afford a Ferrari, however, you're probably able to care for the...
