  • eBay Watch: Dauer Bugatti EB110

    Even before Bugatti became the purveyor of the fastest production vehicle ever to be sold, it was creating some of the fastest supercars ever made. The EB110 was created while the company was under the stewardship of Romano Artioli (who also owned Lotus for a short period) and packed a V-12 with four turbochargers and power delivered to a permanent all-wheel-drive system. Sadly, the EB110 was created towards the end of the financial boom of the '80s, when many potential buyers cut back their spending habits. The car was also criticized for having a very spartan interior, not befitting a car...

  • Bugatti to build topless Veyron

    Bowing to public demand, Bugatti is planning to build a targa version of the Veyron for the princely sum of $1.9 million. Sadly, for those with ambitions of feeling the wind through their hair at over 250 mph, the car’s speed is to be electronically limited to 217 mph because of safety concerns. Unlike the popular Porsche targa, the Veyron version will have a detachable glass roof that has to be stored away from the car before driving. In case the weather does become nasty while out with no roof, the car will come equipped with a fabric cover that can be pulled into place. Without the...

  • Ferrari Enzo targa
    Ferrari Enzo Targa first look

    To some, modifying an Enzo is sacrilege, but for one crazy owner, having a targa-style removable roof was necessary. Sharing many of its parts with the Maserati MC12, which is already equipped with a removable roof, the task of creating the world’s first targa Enzo was not too difficult. Let...

  • McLaren F1 LM at British Motor Show

    No British auto show is truly complete without the presence of the McLaren F1, in this case the LM version. Even though it’s now more than a decade old, the F1 LM is still held in high regard among the supercar arena. The LM is the fastest F1, thanks to its extra-spicy BMW V-12 which delivers a full 680 horsepower and weighing some 60 kilograms less than the regular F1. This car is basically a road going version of the 1995 F1 GTR that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, with some minor mods to make it street legal. Being one of only five LMs in existence, the British auto show...
