  • Christian von Koenigsegg

    Christian von Koenigsegg had big dreams when he first began conjuring thoughts of building exclusive sports cars back in 1994. Those dreams not only included incredible performance but advanced technologies to ensure an exclusive experience available to only a handful. It seems Koenigsegg has met both of those goals as the Swedish executive detailed the features included with the Koenigsegg owners’ app, the brainchild from his 1990s dreams, during the 2017 Geneva auto show. CarBuzz spoke with Koenigsegg and he explained, with modern technology at his disposal, owners benefit from...

  • 1975 Ford Bronc Eleanor Tribute by Zero to 60

  • Pagani Huayra ‘Pearl’

    Last year Pagani unveiled a Huayra coupe whose owner had requested a number of bespoke elements including a roof-mounted scoop and split rear wing. The car was nicknamed the Pearl, and it was delivered to its lucky owner last May. Unfortunately, within months of being delivered the car was involved in a crash on the streets of Paris. Photos of the wreckage showed that the damage was severe, though fortunately not so severe that the car couldn’t be restored. Pagani has since completed the restoration work and presented a video showing the car back on the road. Horacio Pagani himself is...

    The benefits of Individual Throttle Bodies vs. a single throttle body

  • Examining the aerodynamics of the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

    In the late 1960s, Dodge wanted to go fast and win races. Its Charger 500 wasn't cutting it in the NASCAR field, though, so the automaker needed to make a change. You might think some light body changes would do the trick, but you'd be wrong. To turn the Charger into a slippery 200-mph machine, some iconic changes would need to come to fruition. Enter the Charger Daytona. Packing a massive nosecone and a skyscraper-grade rear wing, Dodge had a winning formula on its hands.

    Watch engines warming up as captured by $55K thermal imaging camera

    If you have a newer car, your engine warms up pretty quickly. Driving something a bit more classically cool?

  • Nissan has calculated Camel Power for its desert driving vehicles

    Do you know the origins of horsepower? I'm not talking about the history of cars possessing lots of it, but rather where the term itself comes from and how it was derived. Turns out, the term actually goes back to the power generated by a horse. More specifically, it compares the power of a draft horse to the output created by a steam engine. You need one metric horsepower to lift 75 kilograms up one meter in one second. That can be translated into watts, and in its horsepower form it's a figure we use to examine the output of a given vehicle's engine. Now Nissan wants to add a different...
