  • Corvette celebrates 50th anniversary of racing at Le Mans

    Rumors of a mid-engine layout for the C7 Chevrolet Corvette have been laid to rest by GM, but that's not stopping the mill from postulating on the properties of the C8 generation. While the C7 Corvette is expected to make its debut sometime in 2012, complete with a smaller capacity twin-turbocharged V-8 fitted in a traditional front-engine position, its successor, the C8, could be completely different as its release isn’t due for at least another decade. There are all manner of rumors concerning the C8 model, with stories ranging from the possibility of a mid-engined platform to all-wheel...

  • Mansory Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron
    Mansory Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron: the ultimate in vehicle customization

    Customized Bugatti Veyrons are almost as common as the cars themselves, which is to say not common at all. But this particular car, modified by Mansory, is less common than even most other custom Veyrons, so much so that you could say the new Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron is the ultimate in vehicle...

  • McLaren F1 crash in Germany
    Sacrilege: McLaren F1 Crashes On German Autobahn

    The McLaren F1 is considered by many to be one of the greatest cars of all time and to this day it’s still the fastest naturally aspirated production road car in the world. With only 106 examples ever built, it’s also safe to say that the McLaren F1 is one of the rarest cars of the modern era...

    Australia’s Joss Releases Teaser For New Supercar

    Australia is an unlikely place for the birth of a mid-engined supercar but considering the place is home to some of that fastest four-doors in the world (thank you Holden and Ford), not to mention the Mad Max series of movies, it’s easy to picture a bubbling car culture down there. But yes, a...

  • 25,000th Porsche Panamera
    25,000th Porsche Panamera Already Built

    Just yesterday we reported that production of the first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS had come to an end after almost seven years of sales and more than 170,000 cars built, so it comes as quite a shock that we report today that Porsche has already built its 25,000th Panamera--a much more expensive...

  • Pagani Zonda HH

    While the special edition Pagani Zonda Tricolore supercar unveiled back at March’s 2010 Geneva Motor Show is officially the last edition of Pagani’s Italian exotic, it looks like a number of one-off custom models are still in the works. These include the baby blue Zonda Uno we saw back in May and now a new version dubbed the Pagani Zonda HH--and this latest one is reportedly commissioned by a customer in the U.S. If you recall, the Pagani Zonda was never officially sold in the U.S. (a handful have scraped in under a Show & Display ruling) so why would an American customer want...

  • Honda NSX Type R
    Video: Tribute To Ayrton Senna And The Acura NSX

    The Acura NSX--or Honda, depending on where you live--has long been known as the ‘forgotten supercar’ in the world of exotics. This is mostly because its cutting edge all-aluminum construction meant that it was extremely expensive and its V-6 engine, though fairly high-tech in its day, was...

    Pagani C9 Supercar Spied With Gullwing Doors

    1980 BMW M1 Supercar: Yours For $250,000

    BMW, a brand that prides itself on building the ultimate driving machine, doesn’t have a genuine supercar in its lineup. But this was not always the case because back in 1978 BMW launched its very own supercar. It was the mid-engined M1 homologation special, a car that made its debut more...

    Surprise, Surprise: Patent Trouble Quashes 100 MPG Revenge Verde Hybrid Supercar

    The last we heard of America’s Revenge Designs and its Verde ‘HP2ge’ hybrid supercarwas at the Detroit Auto Show back in January and since then things have been very quiet on all fronts regarding the up-and-coming supercar start-up. As you may recall, Revenge Designs is a tuner of GM...

  • 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder

    While closest rival Ferrari persists that it will never build a four-door model, Lamborghini is looking closely at launching a high-performance SUV as a spiritual successor to the original LM002 from the 1980s. The Italian marque’s closer integration with the Volkswagen Group ensures access to the advanced off-road platform underpinning the second-generation Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, and you can bet this is what Lamborghini is planning for its own SUV. The Lamborghini variant would hardly resemble the Volkswagen and Porsche versions, however, which to the average onlooker...

    It seems every month or so a new sports car start-up reveals some outlandish concept, dishes out all manner of performance numbers and promises one day that its car will be built. However, most of those never see the light of day, let alone go on sale in the U.S. However, one start-up, South...

  • Lamborghini carbon-fiber

    Having already established the Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory (ACSL) at the University of Washington in the U.S., and having recently shown off its carbon-fiber talents at a composites tradeshow in Paris, Lamborghini is already well poised to be a leader in the auto industry when it comes to manufacturing the lightweight stuff. However, now the sports car company is strengthening its position in the field of carbon-fiber development with the announcement of a new Advanced Composites Research Center (ACRC) at its headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese. The center will carry out...

    The Ferrari 599 GTO is the fastest road-going car ever created by the famous Prancing Horse marque but despite the car’s prowess the automaker has only released a measly five images of its stunning beauty. That is until today, as we now have a new mega-gallery revealing every inch...
