Ferrari has confirmed its new LaFerrari flagship supercar has already racked up more than a thousand requests, despite its asking price being well over a million dollars (the final figure is yet to be announced). Unfortunately, Ferrari has chosen to limit production to just 499 examples, which means there will be a lot of disappointed millionaires out there. This means anyone lucky enough to have secured a build slot can look forward to their cars appreciating in value--before they have even been built. Ferrari’s flagship supercars typically hold their value over time, and in many cases...

Video Shows A Ferrari 458 Italia Crash Into A Highway Barrier
This video is a prime example of why owners of high-powered cars should definitely enroll in a driving course that explains to them the dynamics of more than 500 horsepower being sent to only the rear wheels, and preferably gets them out on the skidpan too. It shows the owner of a Ferrari 458...

Pagani Formally Announces Sonus faber Partnership
The Pagani Huayra supercar is without doubt a work of art, in addition to being one of the best performing cars on the planet. However, until now the car had one key flaw, at least it did in the eyes of Pagani founder and chief designer Horacio Pagani. That flaw was the car’s audio system...

Spanish supercar manufacturer GTA Motor, now known as Spania GTA, has a passion for the Geneva Motor Show. In 2011, the firm displayed its original Spano supercar concept, and this was followed up by the debut of the production-ready version at the Geneva show in 2012. For the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which takes place this week, Spania GTA rolled out a new limited edition Spano, which it calls the GTA Spano. Only 99 examples will be built, assuming Spania GTA finds enough buyers, and all of them will come with a 900-horsepower rating. That’s slightly more than the regular Spano’s...

McLaren P1 Live Photos And Video From 2013 Geneva Motor Show

With the Ferrari LaFerrari (say that twice..wait, you already did) and McLaren P1 absorbing much of the megawatt spotlight in Geneva, the three-unit Lamborghini Veneno is easy to miss--that is, until you see it. As these live photos from the 2013 Geneva Motor Show display in detail, the Veneno is built not just for aerodynamic downforce and lap times, but for turning heads, and doing it even more violently than the Aventador it's based on. From the racing-inspired front fender vents to the sharp and defined rear fenders, the central fin down the back, to the gigantic fixed wing, even the...

McLaren F1 LM Prototype’s First Visit Outside The U.K. Is The Geneva Motor Show
McLaren’s latest P1 supercar may end up being overshadowed at this week’s 2013 Geneva Motor Show by another of the firm’s supercars, one much rarer and much more expensive. We are, of course, talking about the legendary McLaren F1 LM, built to commemorate the five McLaren F1 GTR...

The beyond-super supercar wars are already primed to be hot at Geneva with McLaren's P1 and Ferrari's replacement for the Enzo on deck, but now it looks like Lamborghini will join the fray with this, the Veneno. We can't tell you anything more about the car than what's already aboard the rumor train (we're sworn to secrecy) but the information and leaked images from Car and Driver tell us to expect a 6.5-liter V-12 engine mated to Lambo's ISR automated manual 'box, a peak output of 740 horsepower, and a 220 mph top speed. That's impressive, to be sure. Pricing is rumored to be in the $4.6...

Sonus faber sound system for the Pagani Huayra debuts in Geneva
