  • Gumpert planning two concepts for the 2012 Geneva Motor Show

    We already knew Gumpert was planning at least one new supercar for the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, likely the production version of the Tornante shown last year. Today, Gumpert released an image stating that there will be two new cars on display. So what will the second car be? There's a hint in the image, where the final "r" in "Discover" is replaced by a stylized version of the letter. To our mind, that hints at an even-more-ridiculous (in an entirely good way) version of the Gumpert Apollo. The Apollo Speed is currently the top Gumpert, rated at 800 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. It...

  • Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

    Bugatti has taken the wraps off yet another special version of the Grand Sport, this time called the Vitesse. At 1,200 horsepower, wrapped into a slick-looking roadster form, it's certainly not something we'd kick out of our garage. A Porsche engineer has predicted the death of the manual transmission--at least in the 911. That may seem a bit odd given Porsche just debuted a new 7-speed stick in the 2012 911, but the ascendance of the dual-clutch is too strong to resist, according to this engineer. He has a point. We also get an early look at the 2013 Lexus ES, courtesy of spies in China...

Since then, reports have emerged claiming that Mosler...

  • 2013 SRT Viper logo. Images via DriveSRT.

    The wait for the 2013 SRT Viper has only been about two years--since sales of the previous model ceased--but for fans of the venomous vanguard of American speed, it's been a long one. The wait is drawing to a close now, and as we get closer, we get more of what to expect. Today, it's the new Viper's logo, dubbed "Stryker." Designed by Vince Galante, a Chrysler designer and Viper owner, the logo aims to capture the "sinister look and 'evil grin' of the original," according to DriveSRT. Previous logos were named Sneaky Pete and Fangs. Stryker follows in the theme with a stylized viper's head...
