  • 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder in vintage Martini Racing livery

    Development of Porsche’s upcoming supercar, the 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid, is progressing nicely, with the company moving from concept to test mule to final prototype stage in rapid fashion and with things so far remaining on track. In the past year or so we’ve spied prototypes for the car undergoing hot weather testing in Spain and proving durability and speed at the Nürburgring, and we bet we’ll see some running across frozen lakes near the Arctic Circle in the winter time. Today, Porsche has revealed the car in vintage Martini Racing livery and confirmed that...

    2013 Porsche Cayman, Aventador Fuel Saving, Hungarian GP: Today's Car News

    We have fresh new spy shots of the 2013 Porsche Cayman, and it looks to be following in the footsteps of its handsome soft-top brother. The Lamborghini Aventador may be getting some new fuel-saving measures, including cylinder deactivation and stop-start technology. And the Hungarian GP was the...

  • Ferrari F12berlinetta

    Introduced at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari’s F12 Berlinetta is just about ready to hit the market. The Italian automaker is marking the occasion by releasing a new batch of images of its fastest and most powerful production car ever (for now, anyway). Under the F12’s flowing hood lurks a 6.3-liter V-12, good for 729 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, the engine provides enough thrust to get the car from 0-60 mph in only 3.1 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 211 miles per hour. In case you need another frame of...

  • Record gathering of 60 Ferrari F40s attend 2012 Silverstone Classic
    Gathering Of Ferrari F40s Smashes World Record At Silverstone

    It’s hard to believe that the Ferrari F40 supercar is now 25 years old, and celebrating the occasion was a record gathering of the supercars at the Silverstone race track in the UK. Just as they did for the F40’s 20th birthday back in 2007, F40 owners from all over the globe descended...

  • Lexus wants you to Unleash The LFA
    On August 1, Lexus Unleashes The LFA

    Lexus’ LFA supercar has been on the market for about a year and a half now, and aside from unusual paint and the performance-enhancing Nürburgring package, there isn’t much new to talk about. That’s not a complaint, since there really isn’t much about the V-10 powered...

    Cadillac Flagship, BMW Goes On Demand, 2012 Chrysler 300: Today's Car News

    Cadillac has reportedly moved into the next phase of its creation of a new flagship sedan. The car is expected in 2015, riding on a new Omega rear-wheel drive platform. What will it look like? Perhaps the Ciel gives us clues. BMW has launched its On Demand flexible car rental program in the U.S...

  • 2013 Dodge SRT Viper GTS

    It’s been close to three months since the new 2013 SRT Viper was unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, and still it seems that the car is nowhere closer to reaching showrooms. That’s not entirely true as so far we’ve seen the build slot for the Viper bearing VIN #1 sell at auction, a pre-production version show up on Jay Leno’s Garage, and development of the car going ahead as planned. SRT is adamant that the car will go on sale this fall, but finding one up for sale at a dealer near you may prove difficult. Prior to its New York reveal, we said the 2013 SRT Viper...

    Lexus LFA Trio Goes Dancing...Err...Drifting: Video

    The Lexus LFA may be highly exclusive and priced into the stratosphere, but Lexus apparently has enough to spare three to go drifting to a medley of orchestral music.

    McLaren MP4-12C GT3 Preps For 24 Hours Of Spa: Video

    The McLaren MP4-12C is one of the hottest supercars on the market right now, and McLaren is proving it's not just a great road car, but a great racer, with its MP4-12C GT3.

Sprayed in Argos Orange and ordered by a customer in Germany, the 1,000 Aventador built rolled off the assembly line in Sant’ Agata Bolognese today. Perhaps the most...

  • Wreckage of a Ford GT40 that crashed in Tennessee - Image courtesy WCYB

    It turns out that the Ford GT40 that met its demise over the weekend when its driver lost control on a highway in Tennessee in the rain isn't the real deal but a replica made to look like an original 1966 model. The owner of the car, a resident of North Carolina, is said to have been traveling at roughly 45-50 mph when he lost traction and ran off the road and into a barrier. He managed to escape without any serious injury, though as this image of the wreckage shows the car itself wasn’t so lucky. Most of its fiberglass body was destroyed up front, though the structure and drivetrain...

    Poland's Supercar, The Arrinera, Gets A New Look

    A few months back we brought you news that the final specifications and pricing of Poland’s own supercar, the Arrinera, had been set. While we know what powers the car and how much it will cost, we really didn’t know what the finished product would look like. Arrinera’s original...

  • Mansory's Aventador Carbonado
    Mansory's Aventador Carbonado Is Surprisingly Tasteful

    We’ll admit it: we haven’t always been fans of the vehicles produced by high-end tuning firm Mansory. Its rendition of the McLaren MP4-12C, for example, left us speechless and not in a good way. Its remake of the Lamborghini Aventador was better, but it still had far too much tacked-on...

    Bugatti Spaceship Crash Lands For Comic-Con

    Automaker Bugatti already has a lengthy history in building some of the finest (and fastest) vehicles, aimed at buyers for whom money is not a concern.

    McLaren Launches Configurator For MP4-12C Spider

    We love new car configurator sites (especially on Friday afternoons in the summer), but lately the newly-launched configurator sites have been less than captivating. Aston Martin’s configurator for the Vanquish amused us for all of two minutes, thanks to its limited functionality. The...
