  • Arrinera Venocara supercar

    We’ll be the first to admit that when news of a new supercar from Poland first broke, we were a little skeptical about the credibility of the company behind the project and its promise to deliver to the world a brand new supercar. Since the release of the original teaser sketches, Poland’s Arrinera Automotive has now unveiled the first official prototype for its new supercar, along with its name: Venocara. As previously reported, the Arrinera Venocara is powered by a mid-mounted 6.2-liter V-8 engine that gets a little help from a four-lobe Eaton supercharger. The engine is the...

  • 1,250 horsepower Zenvo ST-1 50S in Crystal Blue
    Zenvo Announces North American Distributor, ST1 50S Special Edition Model

    We’ve known for some time that the insane 1,104 horsepower Zenvo ST1 supercar would be coming to the U.S. but now we have official availability and pricing details, as well as news that there will be a special edition launch model. The car’s local distributor, Red Sea Distribution, has...

  • Ferrari F430 Spyder crashes in Belgium
    Ferrari F430 Spyder Crashes, Ends Upside Down

    We don’t know what the driver of this sorry-looking Ferrari F430 Spyder was doing when he flipped the car over but it’s safe to assume that some speeding was involved. The crash took place in Lichtervelde, Belgium on a quiet Thursday morning and is thought to have been caused by a...

  • 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 sets 7:19.63 time at the Nurburgring
    2012 Corvette ZR1 Rips Up The 'Ring In 7:19.63: Video

    Watching a stock production car, and an American one, no less, tag a consistent 1.5-1.6g of lateral acceleration on street tires (new Michelin Pilot Sport Cups) on its way to clicking off a 7:19.63 lap around the Nurburgring's Nordschleife is nothing short of mind-blowing, until you realize it's...

  • Rotary Supers Cars Predator GT preview
    Germany’s Rotary Super Cars Working On Four-Rotor Predator GT

    Remember the awesome four-rotor Mazda 787B race car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 20 years ago and is now set to run the famous French circuit during a demonstration ahead of this weekend’s 24 hour race? Well, it turns out that the 787B’s appearance this weekend won't be the last...

  • Jon Olsson's Lamborghini crossing water after Gumball 3000
    Gumball 3000 Lamborghini Fearless In Water Crossing: Video

    There are Lamborghinis and then there are Lamborghinis. Many, if not most, are coddled their whole lives, living decadent lives of garage- and trailer-bound pampering, rarely, if ever, seeing the kind of use for which they're ostensibly built. This one, however, has gone well beyond the usual...

  • Audi R8 GT Spyder

    As predicted, the wraps have come off the brand new Audi R8 GT Spyder in the lead up to next week’s Le Mans 24 hours endurance race and ahead of the convertible supercar’s official world debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show in September. Like its R8 GT hard-top sibling that recently went on sale, Audi engineers have managed to shed more than 187 pounds from the regular R8 Spyder’s curb weight for the latest GT edition. This was done through the increased use of lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum components, thinner glass and sheet metal and a fixed rear wing in place of...

  • 2008 Mosler MT900S
    2012 Mosler Raptor To Pack 650 HP, Just 2,500 LBS

    The mixology for a seriously capable exotic is simple: take plenty of horsepower, add as much lightness as possible, give it a boutique name and a aerospace-inspired body and serve to anyone with $500,000 or so in their pocket. But even so, Mosler's newly announced Raptor is impressive. Packing...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 live photos
    2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster Confirmed Via EPA

    It’s fairly safe to say that an open-top ‘Roadster’ version of the recently revealed Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 supercar was always going to be launched, but now we have some details of when the car is to be released. Thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its...

  • Late Model Racing twin-turbo Corvette
    1,500-HP Twin-Turbo Corvette Hits 231 MPH At Texas Mile

    High-speed runs might seem simple enough: lots of runway, a straight line, and your foot to the floor. But they can go horrendously wrong at a moment's notice. That's what makes this 231-mph standing mile run by the Late Model Racecraft 1,500-horsepower twin-turbo Corvette in the video below all...

  • 2010 Dodge Viper stability control testing platform for next-gen model
    Next-Gen Dodge Viper Appears In Chrysler Dealer Ordering System: Report

    We have expected the return of the Dodge Viper given the frequent confirmation from the company. We didn't expect it--and still don't--until late 2012 as a 2013 model year car, despite reports of a 2012 model popping up in the Chrysler dealer inventory system, according to Allpar.com. To make it to...

  • Ferrari 599 GTO in Cologne, Germany
    Ferrari 599 GTO Hits Pole While Reversing: Video

    Driving an exotic supercar like the Ferrari 599 GTO on public streets can often be difficult, thanks mostly to low ride heights, poor visibility and a throttle pedal that feels like you’re about to launch a scud missile with just inches of movement of your right foot. It also doesn’t...

  • Joss JP-1

    The Joss JP1 has been in the works so long that we nearly forgot about it. And that's saying something because an Australian supercar is a concept that makes an impression. Having originally debuted the JP1 prototype at the 2004 Melbourne Motor Show Joss is finally ready to present...the evaluation version. Okay, not exactly the production version we'd have hoped for seven years in, but at least we get to see what the company's been up to. The latest JP1 will debut at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show in July. The Aussie is powered by a 500+ horsepower aluminum V-8 mounted behind...

  • Arrinera Automotive teases new supercar
    Arrinera's Polish (Yes, Polish) Supercar

    No, that's not the latest Lamborghini Murcielago tune. No, really, it's not. It's an all-new supercar from none other than Poland. It seems that all you need is a flag and a population these days to have a supercar. In the past few years, we've seen supercar concepts in countries like Russia...

    Rumormill Working Overtime On BMW M1

    Ever since the M1 Homage concept was shown at the Villa D'Este Concours in 2008, the rumor mongerers have been swinging for the fences. Now there appears to be a veneer of reality surrounding the idea of a reborn M1, though if that's the case, it's still little more than a twinkle in a designer's...

  • 2012 McLaren MP4-12C
    McLaren MP4-12C Prototype Crashes On The 'Ring In Suspected Hot Lap Attempt

    As useless as it is to try to compare Nurburgring Nordschleife lap times (the variables are nearly endless) it's nonetheless a favorite pastime for the industry, media, and enthusiasts. Accordingly, it makes sense that McLaren would be doing a share of its final testing of the MP4-12C there, tuning...

    U.S. Justice Department Refuses To Pay For Ferrari F50 Crashed By FBI Agent

    Back in 2009 an FBI agent by the name of Fred Kingston was attempting to relocate an allegedly stolen Ferrari F50 supercar to a warehouse in Lexington, Kentucky but managed to crash the rare exotic during his short drive. Claiming the car experienced a blown tire, Kingston ran it up a curb where we...

  • Lamborghini Diablo GT-R
    Another Lamborghini Diablo GT-R For Sale In California

    Lamborghini Diabo GT-Rs are pretty rare, but it seems there's been a run on the market in California. Last week, we mentioned that a dealer in Southern California was selling one of two or three of the GT-Rs that had never been raced. Now another GT-R is for sale in Southern California. This one...

  • HBH Mid-Engine Vantage Teaser

    Hermann Brandt Hartwig (HBH), the deranged Danish minds that helped bring to life the spectacularly excessive Zenvo ST1, are on to their next project: a V-12 powered, mid-engined supercar based on the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. They released the first teaser picture this week, giving a good look at the profile of the car. Much smoother than the sharp lines and shapes of the Zenvo, the teaser shows a poised, powerful body. As with most mid-engined supercars, the cabin has been pushed forward, but in more of a natural, unforced way than is the case with most, the long, flowing roof line melding...

  • Pagani Huayra screams on track
    Pagani Huayra Haunts Our Ears, The Track, Again: Video

    The Pagani Huayra is an unusual-looking supercar, with all its active aerodynamics and arthropod proportions, but it sounds absolutely brilliant thanks to the 7.3-liter Mercedes-Benz V-12 under the engine cover. This video is just more evidence. Or, if you wish, ear porn. Crank the speakers and...

  • Ferrari Superamerica 45
    Ferrari Superamerica 45 Flips Its Lid: Video

    Remember the Ferrari 575M Superamerica? The one based on the 575M Maranello but with a cool folding hard-top that simply flipped over? Well, Ferrari has built another exotic with the innovative roof system, this time based on the 575M’s successor, the 599 GTB Fiorano. Like the previous car...

    The $240,000 Bugatti you can't even drive

    Lifestyle products from automakers are nothing new. All the big name sports car manufacturers--Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston, etc. etc.--have them. As if owning a fancy pen or briefcase with an exotic automaker logo on it will somehow make up for the fact that you don't have the $300,000...

  • Twin-turbocharged Ford GT burns to the ground
    1,000 Horsepower Ford GT Burns To The Ground: Video

    We’re proud to admit the Ford GT is one of our favorite supercars here at MotorAuthority. An iconic design with just enough modern touches to make it look new, the Ford GT is hard not to love and its V-8 engine just begs to be pushed hard. So hard in fact that several aftermarket tuners have...

  • Lamborghini Diablo GT-R
    Rare Lamborghini Diablo GT-R On Sale In California

    Lamborghini ownership is already an exclusive club; but a Diablo GT-R is an even rarer find. Rarer still is one that has never been raced. The GT-R is a track-ready version of the Europe-only Diablo GT. Thirty of these cars were built in 1999 and 2000, with only two or three having never seen track...
