  • Porsche sent 19 918 Spyders over the Alps

    If you had a Porsche 918 Spyder, where would you want to take it? What if you had 18 friends that also owned 918 Spyders? It might be time to hit the Alps, which is what Porsche and 19 918 Spyder owners recently did. The route was 1,500 kilometers and the $20 million strong convoy had five days to go from one end of an Alpine pass to the other. Porsche wrangled up two percent of all the 918 Spyders ever built. The plan was to set off on an incredible road trip with an astounding collection of vehicles. Even if that collection consists of only one model from Porsche, it's still amazing to see...

    Remaining 15 Bugatti EB110 chassis receive new lease on life as SP-110 Edonis

    It's a blast from the past with a modern twist. The creation above began life as a Bugatti EB110 supercar and was later transformed into the SP-110 Edonis Fenice.

    Here's our first look at the Ferrari 488 GTO supercar

  • 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S
    Lamborghini isn't interested in self-driving tech or going full-electric

    Lamborghini is about fun. So says the company's head of research and development Maurizio Reggiani. That means self-driving capability is off the table; it also means an electric Lambo won't be a reality for some time as the technology isn't where it needs to be for a brand that has definite...

  • Bugatti Chiron brake caliper made using 3D printing
    Bugatti brake caliper is world's largest 3D-printed titanium component

  • Koenigsegg Agera RS goes from 0-250-0 MPH in 37 seconds

    The Koenigsegg Agera RS claimed the production-car top speed record last November with a 277.9 mph run, but the company said higher speeds aren't out of the question—they're just not a priority. Christian von Koenigsegg and Michelin product manager Eric Schmedding spoke with The Drive in a report published on Thursday, and both conceded the Agera RS could go even faster. The Agera RS actually clocked its top-speed run with factory Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. They're the same tires Bugatti uses for the Chiron with slight tweaks made for the Swedish supercar. Schmedding said the...

Nonetheless, with a new sedan comes competitor comparisons, and Kia isn't backing down from the challenge. In...

  • Gathering of modern Ferraris

    Ferrari Chairman Sergio Marchionne, who only two years ago said the idea of an electric Ferrari was “almost an obscene concept,” was out at this week's 2018 Detroit auto show boasting the Italian firm could beat all rivals to market with an electric supercar, including Tesla. “If there is an electric supercar to be built, then Ferrari will be the first,” Marchionne told Bloomberg in Detroit. “People are amazed at what Tesla did with a supercar: I’m not trying to minimize what Elon did but I think it’s doable by all of us.” Marchionne was...

  • Ford GT

    The second-generation Ford GT packs incredible engineering no matter where one's eyes may scan. Be it aerodynamics, engine technology, or the suspension, there's always more than meets the eye. Here, however, we're talking about the GT's suspension, which is anything but traditional. It uses coil springs, but in a very unique way, as well as electronically controlled Multimatic eDSSV dampers. Sounds like a setup for someone to explain, and thankfully, Jason Fenske is already on it in his latest episode of Engineering Explained. The GT features a double-wishbone suspension, but it's not of the...
