  • Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR AMG

    The chassis? A monocoque made from carbon fiber and aluminum. The engine? A 6.9-liter V-12 nestled in the middle of the car that produced 604 horsepower and 572 pound-feet of torque. The original price tag? At the time it was launched in 1997, Guinness certified the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR as the world's most expensive production vehicle with an asking price of $1,547,620. Mercedes only produced 35 (including prototypes and racing versions), and this one is being offered up for sale through James Edition.

    Marchionne says Ferrari will always offer naturally aspirated V-12s

    "Nuts." That's how Ferrari chief Sergio Marchionne described the thought of turbocharging V-12 engines in future vehicles. With that blunt opinion, Marchionne confirmed Ferrari will always offer a naturally aspirated V-12 engine. The statement also casts out fears of downsizing or even killing off...

    Wife surprises husband with McLaren 650S

  • Pagani Huayra BC delivery process

    Very, very carefully. That's how we would describe the process of delivering the first Pagani Huayra BC to come to the United States. We could end the story there, but we won't since there is more to the process. But indeed, the Pagani Huayra BC gets extra special handling and care--as it should considering it costs $2.55 million. YouTube user Emil Garcia has documented the whole process of what it takes to deliver a Huayra BC to its new owner. The Pagani Huayru BC pays tribute to Benny Caiola, a supercar collector and close acquaintance of Pagani founder Horacio Pagani. Not only are his...

    For $1.5M this modified Maserati MC12 could be yours

    Maserati built a rather rare machine when it created the MC12.

  • Lamborghini Hurcan Performante

    The Lamborghini Huracán Performante made waves earlier this year when it laid claim to a new Nürburgring lap record. That feat was largely made possible by the company's new active aerodynamic system, and Lamborghini put together this short video to detail exactly how it works. The Aerodynamica Lamborghini Attiva, ALA, or Lamborghini Active Aerodynamics system uses two spoilers to maximize or minimize drag, and thereby downforce, at any given moment. Under full acceleration, the system makes the car as slippery as possible to maximize acceleration. Under braking, the spoilers...

It's been done, of course...
