    Lamborghini Diablo SV Is Making Fire, Not On Fire

    It's the type of story we usually dread telling. Using the words "fire" and the "Lamborghini" in the same sentence typically means disaster has struck, and another exotic bull has been put down. Thankfully, today isn't one of those days. Instead, we have a video of a Lamborghini Diablo SV that is...

    Lexus Exec Hints at LFA Successor

    The Lexus LFA was only ever built for a single model year, and it’s likely the company lost money on each of the 500 examples it sold, despite the astronomical $375,000 price tag. But that doesn’t mean the project was a failure, as the halo effect it’s had on the rest of the Lexus...

The car in question is a Porsche Carrera GT, which has been reworked by Gemballa into a Mirage GT. Seeing as just 25 were produced, this is a rather rare sighting. It's a loud one, too.

  • 2014 SRT Viper Time Attack Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package

    It's no secret that the Dodge Viper isn't exactly selling like gangbusters. Chrysler has even had to halt production on the car in order to keep existing stock moving along. Still, there's a new model year on the horizon, and it will see some changes in the Viper. No, the Viper won't be getting the 707-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 from the new Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It will continue on with the familiar 8.4-liter V-10. Well, said engine will be a little bit different. It's getting a horsepower bump! Maybe we shouldn't have used an exclamation point on the end of that last sentence. To be more...
