It looks as though Japan’s earthquake crisis won’t hamper deliveries of Nissan’s long-awaited 2012 model year GT-R supercar. As we all know the facelifted 2012 Nissan GT-R is substantially quicker and more powerful than the outgoing model, as well as being greener, and we...

It’s official. The Porsche 918 Spyder, a plug-in hybrid supercar that so far has only been shown in concept form, is available for order and has been priced at $845,000 (not including destination and taxes). Porsche is only planning to build 918 examples of its stunning supercar so interested...

Almost exactly one year ago Porsche took the wraps off an advanced hybrid race version of its 911 GT3, which the automaker entered in the 2010 Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race. Despite hybrid technology being a relatively new field for the sports car company from Stuttgart, the original Porsche...

If you thought the aggressive lines of Ferrari’s own Italia 458 Challenge race car meant business, wait until you lay eyes on Houston-based Risi Competizione’s latest Ferrari 458 Italia GT racer. Designed to compete in the American Le Mans Series, the new race car pictured above is just...

Warm up your line of credit, it's about to get a workout: the 2012 Audi R8 GT starts from $196,800--excluding the $1,250 delivery fee, bringing the pre-tax, title, and license tally to $198,050. That's about what we expected, though, so there's no sticker shock. How could there be, really, with a...

We reported just this month that customers in the U.S. were holding off on buying the Nissan GT-R in the lead up to the arrival of the facelifted 2012 model, which has been trickling into showrooms this past few weeks. It now appears the wait for the new GT-R will be slightly longer as the recent...

You won’t be able to actually buy one until 2012 at the earliest but to keep your interest piqued the guys at Maranello have launched a new configurator for the latest Ferrari FF supercar. Like most online configurators, the new setup for the Ferrari FF allows you to deck out the car with...

Pure form meets pure function: the James Glickenhaus-backed Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5 Competizione combines the aesthetics of the original custom P4/5 with the ravenous track-eating ability of an endurance racer as it prepares for its outing at the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring this June. This video...

In the Alto-Adige region lies the Dolomite mountain range, and at 2,350 meters (about 7,700 feet) you'll find the top of the Plan De Corones. That's where the helicopter-lifted 2012 Ferrari FF is destined in the video below. We're just days away from the first press drives of the car, and the Plan...

If you don't know who Scott Pruett is, you should. He's a legend in U.S. road racing, a dominant force in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car series, and often steps in for NASCAR road course duty as one of the "ringers." Behind the wheel of the Lexus LFA, at breakneck pace, he's still completely...

Priced at a whopping 260,000 euros (or about $360,000 US) the Ferrari FF might not strike you as a quick seller, but you'd be wrong. All 800 of the first-year production run have sold in pre-orders. Likewise, the $370,000 Lamborghini Aventador has already pre-sold its first year run as well. The...

The new 2012 Ferrari FF may not be to everyone’s liking but like most of its models, Ferrari has another sales winner on its hands. That is because the controversially styled supercar is already sold out and if you want one now you’re going to have to wait at least 18 months--that is...

Bentley has rolled out a limited edition model based on its already low production Continental Supersports Convertible and has used this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show to present it. The new model, which will be built in a limited run of just 100 cars, is called the Bentley Continental...

Jaguar may be celebrating 50 years of its iconic E-Type at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show but that hasn’t stopped the automaker from rolling out a very special version of its equally stunning XKR. Of course, we’re talking about the new 2012 Jaguar XKR-S, which has been billed...

Last month we saw four-time Finnish rally champ Juha Kankkunen break the ice speed record on the surface of the frozen Baltic Sea using a Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible. His fastest time was a neck-snapping 205.48 mph, and in honor of that feat Bentley is building a limited edition...

Destined to be one of the stunners of next week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the new 2012 Maserati GranTurismo Convertible Sport has been revealed in full today and without doubt has left us drooling. The new Maserati will offer more driving enjoyment thanks to improved vehicle dynamics, more...

As we first reported on sister site SocialCarNews, Porsche’s fan community on Facebook added its one-millionth fan at the turn of the year and in doing so set a new record for an automaker’s corporate page on the popular social network. Reason enough for Porsche to thank its fans with...

It appears Ferrari has launched a new customization program that enables customers to add a classic touch to its range of modern supercars. Called the Vintage Package, the bespoke modifications are likely to be yet another avenue of vehicle customization falling under the umbrella of...

We just can't get enough of the sight and sound of the James Glickenhaus Ferrari P4/5 Competizione doing its thing on tracks all over Europe, and we're betting you can't either. This video fetures some excellent close-ups, great driving footage, and of course, that sound. Like June Carter...

It’s safe to assume that a large majority of 2012 Lexus LFA buyers will have no idea how to extract the most from their highly refined and engineered supercar. With a mighty V-10 delivering 552 horsepower at a lofty 8,700 rpm, mostly carbon fiber construction and a quick-shifting sequential...
