Though Icona has offices in Turin, Italy, the company also has a large studio in the bustling city of Shanghai, where much of the Vulcano was designed. The car itself is being assembled by...

  • 2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet

    Last October, Ford showed a new twin-turbo version of its drag-strip-only Mustang Cobra Jet at SEMA, and spent a fair amount of time talking up the advantages of multiple turbos versus a single 2.9-liter supercharger. To start with, turbochargers don’t scavenge power off the engine, since their turbines are spun by escaping exhaust gasses. Superchargers, on the other hand, are belt-driven from the engine, requiring significant horsepower to operate. In the case of the 2013 Mustang Cobra Jet, its 2.9-liter blower can take up to 100 horsepower to spin. That seemed like a pretty clear...

  • The Gazoo Racing Lexus LFA runs up the hill at Goodwood

    If you’ve attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed in recent years, you’ve probably seen the Gazoo Racing Lexus LFA work its way up the hill. It would be easy to assume that Lexus was behind the car’s appearance, but that would be incorrect.

Now a contributing manufacturer, the Japanese luxury brand will use the celebration of all things fast to help introduce its latest wares in the United Kingdom. Front and center will be the...

  • Rhys Millen drives the McLaren MP4-12C Spider down Loveland Pass - image: McLaren

    If you’ve ever driven Colorado’s highway 6 across Loveland Pass, you know it can be a bit intimidating in the best of weather. With a maximum elevation of 11,990 feet, the road bears the distinction of being the highest mountain pass in the world to remain open year-round. Though the scenery is spectacular, the switchback corners and steep drops are more than a bit puckering for those unaccustomed to mountain driving. In short, it’s not a place to make an error behind the wheel, regardless of what you’re driving or when you’re driving it. When you add an icy road...
