  • Bugatti Veyron sold as salvage wreck

    You may recall, back in late 2009, a Bugatti Veyron supercar ended up in a lake in Texas due to its driver reportedly being distracted by a low-flying pelican and veering of course. Video of the incident taken by onlookers failed to capture the mysterious bird, leading to suggestions that the Veyron’s dip in the lake may have been a fraudulent setup. What really happened that November day may never be known but the car in question, a silver and black Veyron, one of only a couple dozen in the country, is now up for sale in an insurance salvage auction. Had the lake incident not occur...

    Lamborghini is still celebrating the debut of its stunning new Aventador LP700-4, which replaces the ageing Murcielago as the marque’s flagship and is already sold out for the next 12 months. However, there are already whispers in the air about Lamborghini’s future model releases...

    Anderson Audi R8 Hyper Black Is One Sinister Ride

    We’ve seen a lot of modified Audi R8s in the past but there’s something just sinister about the new ‘Hyper Black’ Audi R8 from German tuning firm Anderson. Based in Dusseldorf, Germany, Anderson’s engineers start with the range-topping V-10 Audi R8 and boost output to...

    Video: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 On The Streets Of Berlin

    If you thought the sound of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 supercar’s V-12 engine was a little limp wristed in this previous video, just wait until you hear its menacing growl upon start up in the video below. Captured as it was being delivered to an exclusive dealership in Berlin...

    Canada’s De Macross GT1 Supercar Edges Closer To Production

    We first heard about the De Macross GT1 project in August of last year, back when the car was still in the concept phase with only a quarter-scale model to show off its design. Since then, Canada’s De Macross Motors Corp (DMMC) has managed to build up a working prototype and will soon be...

    McLaren Boss Ron Dennis Gets Six Months Driving Ban

    Ron Dennis is certainly no stranger to driving. The former boss of McLaren’s F1 team and now head of its road-going division is certainly one person you would think would not have to worry about not being able to drive. However, 63-year old Dennis will have to be chauffeured around--or...

  • Porsche 911 GT2 RS delivery

    The Porsche 911 GT2 is a car that needs no introduction. Often nicknamed the widow maker due to its sheer rawness and tendency to go sideways at will, the 911 GT2--as hard as it is to believe--is available in an even more extreme form, as the 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. At a special event at El Toro Air Station in Irvine, California late last month, the first 20 examples of the 911 GT2 RS supercar were delivered to their respective U.S. customers. Those lucky individuals then had a chance to take their brand new 620 horsepower weapons to the extremes in relative safety on the closed off...

    Audi R8 Spyder Epic Parking Fail

    We’ve seen some pretty bad attempts at parking before, including this BMW X5 that drove up on another car, or this Bugatti Veyron, whose driver curbed one of its wheels. However, this latest driver of an Audi R8 Spyder easily takes the cake. We’re not sure why the driver in this case...

    Video: First Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Delivered To U.S.

    It’s already touched U.S. soil, having made an appearance at last year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but the first Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to be officially delivered to the U.S. has touched ground. Of course, we’re talking about the current world record holder for...

    The Ferrari FF 4RM system in action

    The 2012 Ferrari FF is not just the company's new flagship. Nor is it just the most unusually styled Ferrari in, well, maybe ever.

    This is one of the first videos of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 revving its mighty 700-horsepower, 6.5-liter V-12 engine--and though the sound quality isn't great, it holds the promise of things to come. An official-looking video from Autogespot made its way onto the web in mid-February, a...

  • 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo

    Thieves managed to steal a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo belonging to celebrity chef Guy Fieri early on Tuesday morning. The car was stolen from a dealership in San Francisco where the thieves had to use climbing gear to obtain the keys from the high security lot. Apparently they climbed onto the roof of the dealership, attached a rope, and then lowered themselves into the showroom. No other vehicles were stolen despite there being a Bentley and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder also on the lot. Valued at more than $200,000, the car will be next to useless to the thieves in terms of monetary value as...

Laitinen, a test driver for tire manufacturer Nokian...

    Yet More Details On Ferrari's FF All-Wheel Drive System

    Ferrari made a shooting brake, all-wheel-drive car and the automotive world split into three camps: love it, hate it, and meh. The latest details on the Ferrari's FF all-wheel drive system may not change that fact, but it's sure to intrigue all camps--and spark endless rounds of debate...

    Ferrari 599 GTO Crashes On German Autobahn

    The Ferrari 599 GTO is without doubt already one of the greatest cars of all time and is, in fact, Ferrari’s fastest ever road car. And, with only 599 examples destined for production, it’s also safe to assume that the Ferrari 599 GTO will remain one of the rarest cars of the modern...

  • Pagani Huayra

    Whether you're into ancient Andean gods or not, you'll enjoy this video: an official intro for the new Pagani Huayra, including some background on its unusual name. The name fits the look of the Huayra, which is also highly unusual. From the look and the legend, it's clear that Pagani was going after aerodynamics in new and sometimes as-yet-unpalatable, aesthetically speaking, directions. We're still astride the fence on the car's looks, but we hope it will grow on us, slow and fungus-like, over time, as there's a lot to love about the Huayra just beneath the surface.

Having been in production from 1971 all the way up to the early 1990s, the Pantera could be found in showrooms all across the globe and even ended up in the garage of rock legend Elvis Presley. In...

    Nissan GT-R Sales Dwindle In Lead Up To 2012 Model

    The new 2012 Nissan GT-R is not only more powerful--and therefore faster--than the outgoing 2011 model, it also handles better, consumes less fuel and some might say even looks better thanks to the addition of a new diffuser and daytime running lights. First shown at last year’s Los Angeles...

    Now here’s one way to ruin a Ferrari 458 Italia. Okay, perhaps it isn’t that bad, but why anyone would want to muck up the near perfect lines of the 458 is beyond us. Nevertheless, the tuning mad scientists at Mansory have developed a new kit for the Italian thoroughbred and have used...

    Ruf has never considered itself simply as an aftermarket tuner, seeing itself more as a niche automaker capable of building some of the highest-performance cars on the planet. You only have to take a look at the legendary line of CTR models to understand where this view is coming from, and in...
