  • Brabham BT62

    Brabham just announced its new track-only monster machine called the BT62. When you introduce a new race car, you're also introducing a need to collect, transmit, and store a hefty amount of data. Be it vehicle data, customer information, or all sorts of on-track telemetry bits and bytes, a technical partner serves a much-needed role in understanding and handling all of that information. To that end, Brabham is teaming up with Microsoft. This partnership represents a number of bonuses for Brabham. First, potential BT62 customers will be able to view their future race cars through a variety of...

What's most shocking is the fact that a group of rather young engineers created the machine. A new video from...

  • McLaren 570GT MSO Cabbeen Collection

    McLaren have teamed up with Chinese fashion house Cabbeen to introduce a special limited-run variant of the 570GT. The idea behind the car is to showcase the philosophy "Designed in China, built in the United Kingdom." Just five examples will be built, and the car is being shown to the public at the 2018 Beijing auto show. This collaboration works well for the 570GT. It's easy to go over the top with any supercar, but the 570GT is closer to an ultra-performance grand touring machine. The Cabbeen design elements go hand-in-hand with that ethos. Obsidian Black paintwork pairs perfectly with the...

  • 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

And thanks to a photo of the car's digital instrument cluster (shown below), taken by the folks at Salento V12, we know the car will be called the Aventador SVJ, an abbreviation for Super Veloce Jota. Lamborghini diehards will recognize the name from the Miura SVJ of the 1970s, an extremely limited hardcore version of the Miura based on the one-off Miura Jota prototype developed by Bob Wallace to meet the FIA's Appendix J racing regulations. Jota is the Spanish pronunciation for the letter J. 2020...

  • Bugatti Chiron telemetry

    Tesla has popularized remote monitoring and updating of cars with its “over the air” system, but it wasn't the first automaker to do so. Bugatti had a similar system in place when it launched the Veyron last decade and with the car's successor, the 1,480-horsepower Chiron, the French brand has taken its remote services to the next level. Since there are so few Chirons on the road—Bugatti will build a maxmium 500 units—the cars can all be individually monitored. Telemetry data from individual cars is constantly sent back to Bugatti's headquarters in Molsheim, France...
