  • 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) spy shots

    The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, the next-generation of America's iconic supercar, has been spotted testing in prototype form on a public road in the U.S. A passenger in a passing vehicle managed to film this short video clip of the heavily disguised prototype and was gracious enough to upload it to Youtube. While most of the car remains concealed, we can gather a few more telling details from this latest clip than we saw in our previous spy shots. We get a good sense of the car’s overall proportions out on the road and a look at the rear section shows that the exhaust pipes are now...

    Savage Rivale GTR Live Photos: Top Marques Monaco 2012

    Dutch firm Savage Rivale is working on a brand new supercar, but rather than going the traditional route of building a cramped two-seater and strapping a big engine to it the guys at Savage have managed to build something much more substantial. Their creation is the Roadyacht GTS, which made its...

    Italy's Tax Police Impacting Ferrari And Maserati Sales

    In the wake of a highly-publicized crackdown on tax evaders in Italy, domestic sales of luxury sports car brands Ferrari and Maserati have fallen off sharply in the first quarter of 2012. Italians fear the Guardia di Finanza, more commonly referred to as the tax police, after a series of sting...

    First Lamborghini Dealership Opens In Russia

    There’s no shortage of Lamborghini automobiles to be found on the streets of Moscow. Like other high-end sports and luxury cars, Lamborghinis are a sign of the country’s relatively-new-found wealth and the accompanying conspicuous consumption. Until recently, those shopping for a...

    Jeremy Clarkson, On The Bugatti Veyron: Video

    If you’ve watched Top Gear long enough, you’ve probably come to the realization that aside from the Toyota Hilux pickup and most Italian sports cars, Jeremy Clarkson isn’t a fan of many cars built outside of the United Kingdom. While willing to overlook the faults of vehicles from...

  • 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia

    Ferrari has made little secret of its plans to introduce a hybrid model, even going so far as to unveil a concept version of a new gasoline-electric hybrid system dubbed HY-KERS at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. And only last month the automaker’s CEO, Amedeo Felisa, revealed that hybrid technology will enable the V-12 engine to remain viable in a future of stricter emissions regulations and more eco-conscious consumers. Now, new patent applications have surfaced that Car and Driver reports are for Ferrari’s new hybrid system. They show that instead of using a flywheel-based Kinetic...

    First Reported Lamborghini Aventador Fire Caught On Video

With no other reports of Aventadors going up in flames, it’s believed that this...

    2013 Ferrari California Hits The Hills Of Maranello: Video

    With all the excitement surrounding the reveal of the new F12 Berlinetta supercar at last month’s Geneva Motor Show, it’s easy to forget that there was actually a second new Ferrari launched at the Swiss event. We’re talking about the latest version of the Ferrari California...

    Lexus Supercar Part Deux, Lotus Rants, Vettel Kung-Fu: Car News Headlines

    Lexus is rumored to be working on a car that's twice the LFA: twice the price, twice the power/performance, and twice as exclusive. But does that make any sense? Lotus went a little off-kilter yesterday, finally folding under the strain of what it calls widespread mis-reporting of the company's...

  • A 1987 Ferrari F40 Prototype/GT
    Ferrari F40 Prototype To Hit The Block In Monaco

    Ferrari’s F40 supercar took the world by storm when it was introduced to the public in 1987. More than any other car that preceded it, the F40 looked the part of a race car, and seemed wholly out of place on the street. It’s 2.9-liter, twin-turbo V-8 engine, good for 471 horsepower...

  • Lexus LF-LC Concept live photos, 2012 Detroit Auto Show

    The Lexus LFA is many things: technological triumph, exquisitely exclusive, incredibly expensive, in many ways oddly archaic, and an icon for the brand and its fans. It was also incredibly costly, took a decade to develop, and even at maximum production volume, won't see many garages--ever, even compared to other exotic supercars. So why would Lexus be considering a car that's twice as expensive, and even more high-performance? We're not sure. We can't really even fathom a guess as to why, but according to AutoGuide, that's exactly what they're doing. While doubling the price of the LFA won't...

    Supercars are utterly defined by two things. One is the engine. Be it the Bugatti Veyron's thousand horsepower, quad-turbocharged W16, or the screaming V12 of a Pagani Zonda, the engine is fifty percent of everything that matters about a supercar. The second, and the other fifty percent, is the...

    With all of the hype and the extended two-year run-up to the arrival of the 2013 SRT Viper, it's no surprise that many came away from the unveiling feeling a bit let down--though we weren't among that group. Here, we take a quick overview of the car, including the ALMS racing version. With 640...

    What’s in a name? In the case of the name “Deimos,” fear and dread, at least according to the ancient Greeks. Deimos, the son of Aphrodite and Ares, represents the terror brought by war, although he never actually appears in human form in Greek mythology. Car and Driver tells us...

    The Koenigsegg Agera R is the stuff supercar dreams are made of. Sure, it has the now-required carbon fiber monocoque and inboard dampers activated via pushrods, but it also has something few other supercars can claim: an output of 1,160 horsepower. We’ll admit that’s for the 2013 Agera...
