  • Porsche 918 Spyder Concept

    Porsche is already planning a hybrid for every model range, and the 918 Spyder makes us hopeful that it'll be done in a manner that's not only green, but exciting as well. That makes the reports out of Europe this week that Porsche is considering a model between the 911 and 918 Spyder supercar all the more enticing. There's quite a performance jump from the entry-level 911 to the 918 Spyder, and while some of Porsche's limited-edition, more track-focused models close that gap, putting a car on the street that meets Porsche's standards for luxury and comfort while also delivering...

  • Lamborghini Gallardo Blancpain Edition

    A company based in Germany by the name of Reiter Engineering has been building a series of highly modified Lamborghini models for motorsport use for years but more recently the company has been building road-going versions of these race-prepped supercars.
