Bhavik Sreenath Nair — Sat, 06 May 2023 23:00:07 GMT

Ferrari ownership is an entry into an exclusive club, but not all Ferraris are treated the same. Some of the models from the brand's history are worth a substantial amount of money, even when put up next to the newer models, such as the 2022 Ferrari Daytona SP3 with a starting price tag of $2,226,935. As you will see shortly, the classic Ferraris from the '50s and '60s may not have the comfort or the technological gadgets of the trim models today. Still, they have something that the new models will not have for a very long time: age.

Why Ferrari Themselves Will Never Top The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione

Tyler Dupont — Fri, 05 May 2023 11:31:17 GMT

Since as far back as most can remember, Ferrari has been a name that represents pedigree, with cars being birthed by the automaker being seen as the thoroughbreds of the auto industry. Above all else though, Ferrari has valued their speed on the track. Be it F1 or hypercars, the title of being the best performer has always been the aspiration of the prancing horse brand, and for much of the time it can be argued that they definitely held that title.

Born in 1955, he finished building his first F2 racer by 1979, when he was in his early 20s. He worked for Renault with the mission of improving the body of a racing car and by 1983 he moved to Italy and began working at Lamborghini.

12 Fastest Lamborghinis Ever Produced

Isaac Atienza — Tue, 02 May 2023 21:00:17 GMT

Over the years, Lamborghini has produced a plethora of wild supercars. From the Miura to the Diablo and now the Aventador, these flagships that have represented the pinnacle of the Italian brand's performance and design prowess always had two things in common - a V-12 engine and a rear mid-engine layout. Unsurprisingly, most of the cars on this list also follow this formula, but as a sign of the times, this list surprisingly consists of the brand's only second SUV in its history.

The Highs And Lows Of The Sensational Dodge Viper

Brian Anderson — Tue, 02 May 2023 14:31:18 GMT

The Dodge Viper began as a concept in 1988 to build a modern Cobra roadster and more importantly as a reward for designers who were down in the dumps from years of working on the boxy economy cars Chrysler was infamous for. It initially wasn't supposed to be a production vehicle, but it turned out so awesome that eventually then-CEO Lee Iacocca was convinced to let the public get behind the wheel of what would become the most iconic American sports car/muscle car/supercar.

10 Manual Cars You Need To Drive Before You Die

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 01:00:17 GMT

Driving enthusiasts may account for just a fraction of the overall automotive market, but luckily, automakers have not given up on making cars that are meant to bring a smile on your face. While modern automatics are, in many cases, quicker and more refined compared to their “slush-box” predecessors, they can’t match the engagement that comes with having a manual transmission. Shifting gears yourself with a third pedal and a stick is a dying art, but luckily, we are noticing a recurring trend in popularity.

Its Official!! The Chevy Corvette Is Now A Ferrari Killer. Here's Why

Isaac Atienza — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 14:30:18 GMT

The C8 Corvette Z06 is perhaps one of the best cars that America has ever built. For the fraction of the price of an equivalent mid-engined Ferrari, you get a supercar with the world's most powerful naturally-aspirated V-8 in an age where even the Prancing Horse brand has already embraced turbocharging and electrification. As these supercars finally trickle down to their owners, comparisons against other supercars are pretty much inevitable, and for today's YouTube video courtesy of DragTimes, the Corvette Z06 takes on the Ferrari 812 Superfast.

15 Most Powerful Cars With Naturally Aspirated Engines

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 01:00:17 GMT

If you travel back in time to when the first car was created, you will see that the vehicle's engine did not have anything attached to it that helped it gain horsepower. No turbochargers were connected to the exhaust system, and no superchargers perched on top of the engine, with belts running to the main pulleys. The only help the first engines ever had was from the air around the car and the atmospheric pressure that was created.

Sadly, in 1970, the world lost Bruce to an accident at the Goodwood Circuit in England, at the young age of 32. He was testing a brand new race car that lost composure at speed. McLaren raced professionally for 12 years.

Everything We Know About The Lamborghini Revuelto

Bruno Maia — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Every time Lamborghini comes up with a new supercar, the folks at Ferrari must become pretty restless. Their rivalry is the stuff of legends, and their cars are always featured in heated comparisons over the media. Which one wins motoring journalists over or the hearts and minds of enthusiasts is always cause for much debate. Ferrari’s legacy and amazing cars helped it maintain that high ground in the battles that ensued against Lamborghini, but if taking into consideration Lamborghini’s latest years, it seems these two passionate Italian super sports brands are closer to each other than ever before.

The Fastest Ferraris In the World

Sidd Dhimaan — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 18:59:03 GMT

What is the fastest Ferrari? This could be one of the most commonly asked questions in the car community or, at the very least, among exotic car enthusiasts. There are so many ways to deal with this question, though. Is it fastest in terms of top speed or perhaps acceleration? Ferraris all excel in various metrics and vary so much depending on their intended purpose. One may have the highest top speed, but it won't be the fastest to 60 mph or even 100 mph, while another might be very fast to 60 mph and can set lap records but can't hit 200 mph. So, with all factors considered, here are the fastest Ferraris ever produced, ranked exclusively by their top speed.

2022 Lamborghini Huracan: Performance, Price, And Photos

Joe Parker — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 19:30:17 GMT

The Lamborghini Huracan first hit the pavement in 2014, and though it is nearing 10 years in production, the supercar has lost none of its Lambo luster. The Huracan serves as the replacement for Gallardo, and as Lamborghini looks to hybridize and electrify its lineup in the coming years, it will serve as the swan song for Lambo’s highly-touted naturally aspirated V-10 engine. But Lamborghini has shown it is far from done with its V-10 supercar.

Ridgely McKinless — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 22:30:17 GMT

For as long as cars have existed, people have desired to use their four-wheeled freedom to explore the world. That’s no exaggeration, shortly after its invention, Bertha Benz took the first automobile ever made, the Benz Patent Motor Wagen, on a 110-mile trip in 1888. As time went on, manufacturers capitalized on this desire by creating the grand tourer, a car that combines breathtaking speed and sumptuous comfort to cross continents with ease.

The Fastest Cars in the World Ranked

Robert Moore — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:00:17 GMT

The first production car with a recorded speed was the 1894 Benz Velo that had a top speed of just 12 mph. Few verified records exist from that point until around 1950, when the Jaguar XK120 set a production car speed record of 124.6 mph (not to be confused with the tuned prototype that managed to hit 133 mph) From this point on, it became a trend for automotive publications to do their own top speed test. Even the venerable McLaren F1 was tested by Car and Driver, and in 2005 we got our first government-official speed record set by the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 and verified by German inspection officials in 2005. It was that moment when the official challenge between manufacturers kicked off, and since then there have only been a handful of cars up to breaking the record. This list covers the top 12 fastest cars in the world, ranked from slowest to fastest.

Can A Complete Overhaul Of The Product Lineup Save Aston Martin From Going Under?

Moritz Buder — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 12:00:18 GMT

After difficult economic times and a change in the position of CEO, things now seem to be looking up again at Aston Martin. For quite some time, the Achilles' heel of the British sports car manufacturer has been its lack of profitability, which had a negative impact on the company, especially in times of great need for investment. For a long time, Aston Martin simply lacked the means to finance the transformation into the electric age out of its own pocket, which is why even after the takeover of the brand by the potent financier Lawrance Stroll, further investors had to be brought on board to be able to make the leap into the new age. As the British brand will celebrate its 110th anniversary later this year, Aston Martin is ready to give a first glimpse of its electrified future.

Why Several Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 Engines Have Been Blowing Up

Bruno Maia — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 14:30:17 GMT

As of recently, you may or may not have come across an article or video suggesting catastrophic failures on brand new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06. While a case related to one, Marco Garcia seems to have shown precisely that, there are other factors at play here. And one common variable found in all of these cases is that the cars had low miles on them. Another video showed a brand new C8 Z06 doing donuts with less than 1,500 miles on the odometer. No catastrophic failure this time. Just a check engine light, which was reset with a scanner the owner used. He made it clear the car was driving fine and only got that check engine light after doing donuts.

Isaac Atienza — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 12:00:54 GMT

The European Parliament recently voted on a set of new vehicle standards that will mean the end of the internal combustion engine (ICE) in Europe by 2035.

10 Reasons The Ford GT40 Is Considered A Legend

Chad Daw — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 15:00:17 GMT

In the early 1960s, most Americans did not know what the 24 Hour of LeMans was. The ones that did, had no idea what happened during the race until after it was over and done with, being covered in a small section of the local newspaper. Henry Ford II wanted to change all that by becoming a dominant figure within the racing world overseas. He started out by first trying to buy Ferrari out since they were one of the leading carmakers that consistently had cars in the race.

Here's How You Turn Your C8 Corvette Z06 Into A GT3 Racer

Dimitar Angelov — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 11:30:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette C8 features a lot of firsts for the iconic American sports car. Although originally meant to be a mid-engine sports car from its inception in 1953, it is only in 2020 we go the first production mid-engine Corvette. The C8 Stingray Corvette was followed by a Z06 model, and it was only a matter of time before a racing version was introduced. The 2024 C8 Z06 GT3.R is, essentially, the racecar version of the Z06 and a replacement for the C8.R. But don’t feel bummed about the Z06 GT3.R not being street-legal because building a C8 Z06 into a GT3.R homage is easier than you might expect.

Lamborghini Introduces Invencible and Autentica Bespoke Special Editions

Dimitar Angelov — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 21:00:17 GMT

Lamborghini gives a great example of how to start the week with a bang, by introducing two, one-off models. In true tradition, the Lamborghini Invencible and Lamborghini Autentica come with radical styling, to celebrate the end of Lamborghini’s V-12 era. This, then, is the swan song of the V-12 Lambo cars as we know them. But this epic duo of farewell models isn’t just about retiring the naturally-aspirated V-12 with a bang. It’s also about taking everything that made the ragin bull’s sports cars worthy of Lamborghini’s name.

Why Attending a Track Day Can Make You a Better Driver

Garret Donahue — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 20:01:16 GMT

The racetrack is the ultimate equalizer. Whether you're in a track-spec Ferrari or your mum's Toyota, there are situations on a track that you and your car will encounter, potentially making it, and you react in adverse ways. It is with the experience of these situations that we start to become better drivers. G forces, full suspension travel, extreme braking, and acceleration back to back repeatedly for lap after lap while paying close attention to fellow drivers, track terrain changes, and safety flags make for one hell of an experience. There’s a ton more involvement in a track day than just jumping in a car and driving as fast as possible. Here’s why a day at the track can make you an overall better driver.

The Last Ever W-16-Powered Bugatti Chiron Just Set A New World Record

Joe Parker — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 13:30:16 GMT

The automotive landscape has grown quite accustomed to Bugatti leading the charge in big numbers, whether it’s acceleration times, horsepower, or eye-popping price tags, and much of that stems from the automaker’s W-16 engine. An engineering masterpiece, the W-16 provides the kind of figures that cause jaws to drop, and not just for its number of cylinders. But as the automotive world transitions to electrified power, Bugatti is sending off the W-16 to the big scrapyard in the sky. Though, it’s certainly going out with bang. The last W-16-powered Chiron just sold at RM Sotheby’s Feb. 1 auction, and in doing so, it set the record for the most expensive new car ever sold at auction.

John Cena's Incredible Car Collection Is A Petrol Head's Dream

Brian Anderson — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 23:31:17 GMT

Dominic Toretto has had some impressive rides across the Fast & Furious films, including his signature super-charged 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. He is, of course, a fictional character, but John Cena, who plays Dominic's brother in F9, is a real person who has a car collection that puts his movie sibling's garage to shame.

10 Things Every Enthusiast Should Know About the Ferrari Testarossa

Atlas Porter — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 23:00:16 GMT

In 1984, Michael Jordan was drafted into the NBA, and it’s fair to say that the sports world hasn’t been the same since. That same year, the Ferrari Testarossa made its world premiere, and likewise, the sports car world also hasn’t been the same since. It is not difficult to see how the Ferrari Testarossa is the Michael Jordan of sports cars. By which I mean, it was the quintessential cultural icon of the day — consistently appearing on your television set and in your video games as a symbol of excellence. The Testarossa defined a decade, and for the following reasons it deserves a spot in every sports car enthusiast’s dream garage.

Why The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Is The Best Generation

Garret Donahue — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 20:01:16 GMT

By now, most enthusiasts know about the Chevrolet Corvette C8, and although GM benchmarked a 458 Italia, one of the most highly regarded Ferraris ever, the Corvette C8 is very much in a niche of its own. This generation of Corvette is a standout vehicle not only for the sake of being a Corvette but has become an exemplary sports car, even stealing the lunch money off of some modern supercars. Put simply, the C8 is a masterpiece built at the exact right time for an ideal demographic. Here are 10 reasons why it doesn’t get any better than the C8 Corvette.

10 Reasons Why The Lamborghini Gallardo Is A Supercar For The Ages

Elijah Perez — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 15:00:16 GMT

Appropriately named after a breed of fighting bull, the Lamborghini Gallardo is a powerful beast. The famous supercar started production back in 2003 as the successor of the Lamborghini Jalpa. Throughout its eleven-year run, the Gallardo sold just over 14,000 units. This made the Gallardo the best-selling Lamborghini of all time until it was ultimately overthrown by the Huracán with over 20,000 units sold. The first generation ran from 2003 to 2008 with the second generation taking over in 2008 before the Gallardo model was retired in 2013. While the Gallardo’s reign came to an end with the introduction of its successor, the Huracán, and the iconic Aventador, the Gallardo has firmly inserted itself into supercar history. Here are 10 reasons why the Lamborghini Gallardo is a legend.

10 Fun Facts About The Incredible McLaren Senna

Andrew Hobson — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 12:00:16 GMT

While McLaren Automotive may be located in the British borough of Woking; one of the company's more groundbreaking supercars of the 21st century has its roots in São Paulo, Brazil. Named after the late, great racing superstar Ayrton Senna, the mid-engined McLaren Senna was unveiled in late 2017 as the third entry in its Ultimate series behind the P1 and F1. While not an immediate descendant of either the P1 or F1, the design and execution of the Senna are pure McLaren with a fanatical adherence to the company's "form follows function" mantra. Adherence means a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine giving the street-legal Senna a whopping 789 horsepower and an absurd attention-to-aerodynamic-detail design allotting this supercar 800 kilograms of downforce.

10 Things Every Enthusiast Should Know About The Ford GT

Federico Alcala — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 22:00:16 GMT

The Ford GT is a piece of history on wheels. It was born as a tribute to a Ford classic and became a legend of the 21st century with its supercar identity and its warrior racing car style. The last relevant update was the 2020 Ford GT and that could be the beginning of the end of the history of this incredible vehicle, whose origins date back to 2005, but respond to a tradition of more than half a century. However, the Ford Mustang GT will continue its legacy, albeit differently (especially considering the price of the Ford GT).

Why the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For Ferrari Money

Edward James — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 21:00:16 GMT

As the old adage says, 'You get what you pay for,' right? Well, not so long ago, Chevrolet introduced another Corvette to the world, and heads are turning at not only how this car looks but at the price tag as well. In 2020, the design of the Corvette went in a completely new direction with the mid-engine placement that undeniably took it from a sports car to supercar status. Being placed in the ranks with cars such as the McLaren GT, Audi R8, Acura NSX, and Lamborghini Huracan certainly exalted Chevy's flagship sports car to a whole new level, and with that came a price increase as well.

Automakers are giving one final hurrah to the giant engines and their iconic nameplates before the inevitable switch to EVs happen. Now, it is Aston Martin’s turn to make the best out of its flagship grand tourer.

Max Voorhees — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Mercedes-Benz released the Mercedes AMG-GT to the world in 2014, and it was met with praise from the supercar community. Luxurious and extremely powerful, the Mercedes AMG-GT is not your everyday supercar. These cars are special. Mercedes even has a motto they call "One Man, One Engine" in which each V-8 engine that will go into an AMG-GT is hand-assembled by one person. This means that each engine is a truly unique work of art that has each assembler's craft etched into its design. And that's just one thing that makes these cars so unique. Here's everything else you need to know about the Mercedes AMG-GT.

10 Reasons Why The Audi Rnext Might Be A Worthy Successor To The R8

Alina Moore — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 16:00:17 GMT

Launched in 2006, the R8 was the first supercar to leave the Ingolstadt factory. Its amazing looks, great performance, ease of handling, and relatively affordable price made it an instant success. After 17 years of production, Audi is preparing to say goodbye to the R8 as we know it, and it did so with the farewell edition R8 GT RWD. With stricter emission regulations, big engines like the V-10 live on borrowed time. For the longest time, the R8 shared its engine with the Gallardo and then with the Huracan. But with Lamborghini preparing to launch a V-8 hybrid successor for the Huracan, Audi needs to make a decision on the R8 too. Except that, unlike Lamborghini, it will not offer a hybrid successor for the R8 and will go straight to an all-electric halo car.

10 Fun Facts About The Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae

Elijah Perez — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 18:00:16 GMT

Just over a decade now, Lamborghini introduced the Aventador model, kickstarting one of the most iconic supercar legacies in modern history. The Aventador LP700-4 was first announced in 2011 with a V-12 engine at 691 horsepower. Pretty impressive for the time and even now for the supercar enthusiast, but this was only the beginning for the Aventador which would continue to evolve and grow.

The Audi RS3 Is Shockingly Quick Against A Lamborghini Huracan STO

Sam Weber — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 12:30:17 GMT

The performance of cars has changed dramatically over the past few decades. What was once considered supercar performance is now relatively achievable in modern sports cars, and even further, modern performance cars are getting closer to matching other modern supercars. The progress made is more than noticeable since modified compact cars now put the hurt on serious supercars with little more than tunes and tires. And the ultimate compact - the Audi RS3, which has beaten many larger competitors - is more than capable of going toe to toe with the big dogs.

These Tuned Ferraris Prove That You Can Never Have Too Much Power

Alina Moore — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 12:01:16 GMT

Ferrari builds some of the most powerful, fastest, and most elegant supercars in the world. So, most of the time there is no reason to try to update them. But this doesn’t mean that overtime tuners across the globe didn’t try to see if they can improve the look or the performance of these already amazing supercars. Novitec and Mansory are well known for building some of the best kits for Ferrari models, but there are a lot more out there that did an amazing job too.

Why The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray's All-Wheel Drive System Will Be A Game Changer

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 23:32:06 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette has been the definitive American sports car since 1953. With the C8 generation that came out in 2021, the model saw its biggest changes yet.

The Corvette E-Ray opens up new performance capabilities for the C8. The American icon joined the world of hybrid, high-performance vehicles, and its drivetrain allows the car to evolve and become quicker over time.

10 Fun Facts About The Mercedes-AMG One

Abdullah Tariq — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 22:00:16 GMT

Humans have always had a love-hate relationship with perfection - we strive for it, but once we achieve it, we're already thinking about what's next. Take the example of the automotive industry, always pushing for innovation and improvement, constantly raising the bar. And speaking of pushing boundaries, Mercedes-AMG had already set the standard for luxury and performance cars. But it didn't stop there and unveiled Mercedes-AMG Project One back in 2017 at Frankfurt Motor Show. The wait for the hypercar was interminable, but it is finally over as deliveries of the Mercedes-AMG One have begun. And to put it simply, the wait was a small sacrifice for such a great reward. An exquisite blend of opulence and sheer power, the AMG One is proof that even perfection can be improved upon. It's a true work-of-art on wheels, crafted with precision and powered by cutting-edge technology. This limited-edition sports car immaculately embodies the human spirit of striving for excellence and raising the ante of what's possible.

The DBS 770 Ultimate Is A Fitting Farewell To Aston Martins' V-12 Flagship

Moritz Buder — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 16:37:17 GMT

When a sports car manufacturer sets sail for an imminent end of production for its flagship model, the excitement for fans is usually high. Of course, as the end approaches, anticipation already rises for the imminent start of production of what is expected to be an even better and faster successor model. Often, however, manufacturers also launch a special edition of the discontinued model, which once again combines all the matured capabilities from the production period with more power and better driving dynamics. Aston Martin is now taking this approach with its flagship DBS. As the farewell approaches, the brand from Gaydon in the UK is not only giving the V-12 engine a power boost, but also adding further technical and visual refinements. The result of these efforts is the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate.

5 Reasons Why We Love The Aston Martin DB11 (And, 5 Reasons Why We Don't)

Alina Moore — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 16:00:17 GMT

When launched during the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the Aston Martin DB11 was an instant hit: the company received over 1,400 orders on the spot. But, as all good things come to an end, the DB11's fame faded over the years, and it is about to be replaced quite soon. It is indeed a big departure from its DB9 predecessor and does offer a lot of new technologies borrowed from Mercedes-Benz, but even so, the DB11 is not the best option you have on today’s market. Things improved when the 2018 Aston Martin DB11 AMR was launched, But is the Aston Martin DB11, in general, worth the money? Here are five things we love about the Aston Martin DB11, followed by five things we don't.

Nurburgring Lap Record Holding AMG One Is Now A Production Reality

Isaac Atienza — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 12:30:16 GMT

The Mercedes-AMG One was a long time coming. From its unveiling in concept form in 2017, it took five years to bring this highly-complex hypercar that Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kallenius jokingly said they were probably drunk during the time they approved the project. Nevertheless, the Formula 1 car for the road has finally entered production, and the first-ever model to be produced for a customer looks sinister in all the right ways.

The 2023 Audi R8 GT RWD Marks The End Of The German Brand's Glorious V-10 Era

Adrian Monroe — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 20:30:17 GMT

Since the release of the first R8 in 2006, this car has amassed a fan base for its distinguished body, outstanding speed, and it’s high-end look. The Audi R8 V10 Rear-Wheel drive is the German brand's farewell to its flagship supercar. The R8 is a supercar so cool that Tony Stark pulled up in it in the very first Iron Man movie, and it’s been a mainstay in the supercar industry since the first iteration was released, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and beloved gas-powered supercars are no exception. But why will the R8 V-10 RWD be the last installment in the line of these magnificent supercars?

Ferrari Has The Best Model Lineup Of Any Exotic Brand

Dimitar Angelov — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 20:00:16 GMT

In the past, carmakers were spoiling sports car enthusiasts with multiple propositions in the sports car segment. However, the most exciting niche has always been the smallest one, and with the modern-day automotive industry focused on maximizing profit, most car companies have either stopped producing sports cars or have limited their production to one or two models or variations of the same car. Ferrari, of all brands, stands out with not two or three but seven different high-performance models, not counting the different body types. This makes the prancing horse from Italy the supercar company with the most versatile lineup, and that's not even counting the highly-exclusive models that come out of the brand's special divisions. Here’s where each of Ferrari's more mainstream models stands in the lineup.

10 Fun Facts About The Audi R8 That Every Gearhead Should Know

Max Voorhees — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 14:00:17 GMT

Audi is known to make luxurious and fast cars that will hug corners and turn heads at the same time. This statement is especially true for its supercar, the Audi R8. The R8 has been the flagship of Audi since 2006 and has seen two generations since its release 16 years ago. Throughout the years, Audi has changed aspects of the supercar to make it faster and more luxurious, and these changes were welcomed with open arms. As times change and the need for more electric vehicles dawns on the supercar market, Audi has started to rethink the future of the R8. Even though the future is unclear for the Audi R8, we can still bask in all of its power and glory and remember it for the beast that it always has been.

The Porsche Turbo S Lightweight Is An Ultra-Exclusive 964-Gen 911

Dane Maricic — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 16:30:16 GMT

Introduced in 1992, the Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau (lightweight) is a performance oriented and stripped down version of the regular Turbo S, which was already one of the fastest cars available on the market at its time. Created to celebrate Porsche's racing success, the Turbo S Lightweight was limited to just 86 units, and the model was essentially a racer for the road. One of these ultra-exclusive models, which carries a heavyweight price tag, will soon hit the RM Sotheby's auction block.

10 Fun Facts About The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica

Alina Moore — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 12:00:17 GMT

After being on the market for eight years and going through eleven iterations, the Lamborghini Huracan is about to be replaced by an all-new hybrid supercar. The 11th iteration and the model's swansong, aka the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, is nothing more than a toned-down version of the track-focused Huracan STO, but at the same time, it is also the ultimate Huracan. Showcasing an evolution in aerodynamic design and engineering, the new Huracan Tecnica is all about fun and driving performance on both road and track. With a starting price of $239,000, the Tecnica is one of the most affordable Huracan models, which makes things even more interesting.

10 Crazy Facts About The $117-Million Lamborghini Egoista

Alina Moore — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 20:00:16 GMT

Nobody can say that Lamborghini is building boring supercars. That’s actually the opposite of what the Italian company is doing. But, when you see cars like the Egoista in its lineup, everything next to it starts to pale in comparison. But even Lamborghini itself confirmed that the Egoista isn’t like anything it has built before, and it is most likely nothing it will offer again. Despite its huge price, and the fact that it is undrivable, the Lamborghini Egoista is the dream car for many people out there, and only for the right reasons.

Lamborghini Is Finally Thriving As Its V-12 Era Draws To A Close

Dane Maricic — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 14:30:16 GMT

Lamborghini has a storied history as a relatively bonkers automaker known for burly V-12s, ultra-aggressive styling and shouting soundtracks, characteristics not often, or at all, associated with electric vehicles. Lamborghini intends to keep this formula as long as possible, but electrification of its lineup is imminent. But as the company stands on this threshold, it's now doing better than ever sticking to its tried-and-true formula. The brand has been experiencing constant growth for the past two years in terms of cars sold and awards received, and it seems that 2022 was their best year so far, showcasing that perhaps those who have always dreamed of owning a Lamborghini aren't quite ready to let go of the Lambo lunacy.

10 Facts About The McLaren 765LT That Every Enthusiast Should Know

Max Voorhees — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 22:00:16 GMT

McLaren has always been a pioneer of supercars, and it has outdone itself with the 2022 McLaren 765LT. Based on one of McLaren's most iconic cars, the 720S, the 765LT hits the road lower, more comprehensive, and lighter than the former. Not only that, but this car can hit a maximum speed of 205 mph. Now that's impressive. A re-engineered 755-horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 sits inside this master craft of automobile engineering. The front has been moved further forward, which allows for more efficient aerodynamics. The rear wing has also been made about 20-percent larger than the 720S, which is what gives this car its "longtail" look. A quote from inside a McLaren brochure on this car reads: "The 765LT exudes menace", and McLaren was right on the money with that statement. One look at this car, and you can just tell it is powerful, fast, and a supercar lover's dream.

Here's Why Now Is The Best Time To Buy An Acura NSX

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 21:00:15 GMT

Most people would not immediately think of Acura when it comes to high-performance, mid-engine supercars. While it is a niche established and dominated by the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini, it was the Japanese automaker that managed to school the aforementioned companies how to make a reliable and usable exotic. Honda introduced the NSX in 1990 and sold it under the Acura brand in the North American market. The all-new, second-generation Acura NSX was launched in 2016. Although it combined impressive technology with Honda's reliability, it wasn’t a good seller. The second-generation Acura NSX is getting axed after the 2023 model year, and despite never selling as well as the brand had hoped, now is a perfect time to get one of these peak Japanese powerhouses before enthusiasts realize just what a brilliant chance they missed out on.

McLaren Quietly Ends Production Of Its Halo Supercar

Amreetam Basu — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 19:50:17 GMT

The 720S embodies McLaren and its approach to creating a high-performance supercar that is both lightweight and blazingly fast. Since its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, McLaren has sold a sizeable amount of this supercar, and it has been acclaimed by many for its spirited performance. However, the British supercar firm has pulled the plug on its mass-market supercar, another enthusiast-loved nameplate that will die this year alongside the Dodge Challenger and Audi R8 V10. While a replacement for the 720S is still in the works, it will certainly not be a pure ICE-powered supercar.

Bugatti Is Illustrating Supercar Sales Are Invulnerable To Economic Woes

Moritz Buder — Wed, 11 Jan 2023 16:30:16 GMT

When the Volkswagen Group sold a majority stake in Bugatti to Rimac Automobili just over a year ago, many fans were skeptical about the future of the tradition-rich automobile manufacturer from Molsheim, France. The two companies seemed too different. Bugatti created an icon of the motorized world with the W-16 combustion engine while Croatian startup Rimac Automobili builds purely electric supercars. After just under a year, however, it can be stated that this marriage is working, and Bugatti will remain loyal to the combustion engine while it can. The ongoing success of the French automobile manufacturer is now reflected in the 2022 financial year, in which Bugatti was able to sell more ultra-pricey supercars than ever before.

Not often you will see a company known for practical and luxurious vehicles set out to develop a full-fledged supercar. Nevertheless, Toyota’s luxury arm, Lexus, made it possible with the LFA when it debuted as a production-spec concept in 2009.

One of the LFA's most vital characteristics is the sweet-sounding naturally aspirated V-10, which sounds even better than the Italian V-12s (subjectively, of course). And if you dream of owning this legendary and rare V-10 supercar, one of the 500 iterations built will be presented at an auction organized by RM Sotheby’s.
