Supercars

For many buyers, the purchase of a supercar is merely a way of showing the neighbors that you have more money (or care about saving it less) than they do. All too often, supercars are driven to events like car shows, or perhaps out to a five-star restaurant, before being returned to their lives of...

If you’re in the market for a 2012 Audi R8, there are two limited-production models built just for the American market that are about to hit U.S. Audi dealers. Called “Exclusive Selection Editions,” Audi will produce just 20 examples powered by its 4.2-liter V-8, and only 30...

Aston Martin is bringing its brand new Vanquish to the U.S., with the stunning supercar set to appear at a number of events surrounding the renowned Monterey automotive week in California, the highlight of which is the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance taking place on August 19. First revealed...

Those of us who have spent more than our fair share of time above the posted speed limits are fond of a sobering, self-limiting saying: You can't outrun radios. Perhaps that's the thought that went through this Bugatti Veyron driver's mind as he was being pulled over by a policeman on a bicycle...

The first sketches of the upcoming production version of the Nissan Juke-R have been revealed, depicting--as expected--a crossover with a decidedly sporty and agressive look. Just as insane as the prototype Juke-R, based on the Nissan GT-R's powertrain and intended for exhibition racing duty, the...

Spies have captured the 2013 MINI Paceman, MINI's new compact Countryman-style coupe, testing at the Nordschleife. Ford is moving forward with its car-to-car communications systems, with a new test regimen underway in Germany. Audi's R8 e-tron set a Nürburgring lap record not long ago, and now...

Back in June Audi set the fastest lap time of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife for a produced-based electric car using its upcoming R8 e-tron. The final time for the electric supercar, which was piloted by German race car driver Markus Winkelhock, was a brisk 8:09.099. Today we have a video of the...

Spies have laid eyes and lenses on the 2013 BMW Z4, showing us a car that's not so much new as mildly updated. A new M Performance model may be on the way, however, potentially outdoing the Z4 sDrive35is. A Pagani Zonda GR race car crashed in an incident with an Audi A4 DTM car during a race at the...

When McLaren finally unveils its successor to the legendary F1 later this year, there won’t be a V-12 engine in sight as the famous motorsports company and now full scale sports car manufacturer has adopted a ‘less is more’ philosophy. While rivals such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and...

It's weird word Friday, apparently, but the the SSC Aero gets an upgrade for a send-off edition: the XT, powered by the 1,300-horsepower engine of the Tuatara. Spain's Tramontana XTR is the next generation of the company's take on a closed-cockpit, street-legal formula-stylesports car. Our cohorts...

Any number of road-legal track cars are available for sale, especially in Europe, and many have adopted somewhat formula-car-like packaging. But few, if any, come as close to the reality of a formula car as the creations from a.d. Tramontana. The Spanish firm’s last creation, the Tramontana...

Not to be confused with the Huayra supercar from Pagani, Polish startup Arrinera has announced today that its new supercar will be called the Hussarya. The name is derived from Poland’s Hussar cavalry of the 16th century, known for their beauty, strength and maneuverability, and these are all...

We've seen the near-production Porsche 918 Spyder in several different forms, including its most recent Martini Racing livery, for months now. The official releases have all but given away what the production version of the car will look like, but in this video, we see what purports to be the real...

Last week we told you about an upcoming promotion that Lexus was calling “Unleash The LFA,” part of the brand’s “Golden Opportunity” sales event. We didn’t have a lot of details then, but now we do. From August 1 to August 21, you can visit Lexus’ Facebook...

We're not entirely sure what's going on here (though we have a pretty good idea), but it's somewhere between bizarre and amazing. Human reproductions of car sounds typically focus on the basics, perhaps with a little embellishment: four-cylinder cars, a turbo spooling, and, of course, the chitter...

Beautifully constructed, stupendously fast and a rarity on most roads, a Koenigsegg supercar is a must-have in any performance fan’s garage. Unfortunately, everything that a Koenigsegg supercar has to offer comes at a price, and as you may have guessed that price lies somewhere in the...

If you’re looking for an exotic, limited-production supercar from a mainstream manufacturer, it doesn’t get much more exclusive than one of 20 built. To homologate its 911 GT1 for FIA competition, Porsche was supposed to build 25 road-going examples, called Strassenversion, and the 20...

Spies have captured the 2014 Cadillac CTS on video, showing what looks to be a sleeker, lighter car than the current model, with likely turbo power under the hood. Porsche's 918 Spyder is back again, this time wearing Martini racing livery as it tests. According to the company, it's targeting a...

For outsiders looking in, Hong Kong is the land of opportunity. A global financial hub, Hong Kong has long attracted foreign workers with impressive salaries and reasonable job security. Its booming economy has created huge demand for high-end luxury and exotic cars, but there’s a growing...

Following in the footsteps of fellow tuners RUF and 9FF, Germany’s Alpha-N Performance has announced plans for a wild supercar based around the chassis of a current Porsche model. Alpha-N is a relatively new name in the performance scene but the founders of the company were linked with the...
