If you'd like to see the new McLaren MP4-12C Spider in action, look no further: Chris Harris and Drive have you covered. From the slick folding hardtop in action to full-on sideways hoonage, Harris delivers his usual goods--though in a somewhat drier, lower-key style than usual. For our money...

Conventional wisdom tells us that cars depreciate in value, and that even “sure bet” collector cars have been known to lose money for investors. We recently told you about the oldest-known Ford Model A, which sold in 2007 for $693,000, but hammered at just $264,000 when resold last...

Mercedes-Benz's next take on the S Class is shaping up to include a cabriolet, or convertible, which could launch sometime in the summer or fall of 2015. In camouflage, the proportions aren't too flattering, but once the wraps come off, who knows? If you like Fiat's revival of Abarth in America...

In 2009, a company calling itself Kepler Motors revealed its Motion hybrid supercar at the Dubai International Auto Show. The concept produced a claimed 800 horsepower, and was capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in less than 2.5 seconds, on its way to a 200 mph top speed. At the time, Kepler said...

This year has not been kind to sports car or race car manufacturers. In August, boutique German sports car builder Melkus announced it was filing for bankruptcy, followed a week later by word that supercar specialist Gumpert was also insolvent. In October, we learned that niche sports car...

More stringent fuel economy and emissions regulations rolling in across major markets around the globe have all automakers, even supercar manufacturers, rethinking their designs and manufacturing processes in an effort to become greener. Even the likes of Ferrari and Porsche will be launching new...

Last week, the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, paid a visit to Nissan HQ and sampled some of the Japanese automaker’s latest cars. Bolt, who was already signed by Nissan to help promote the GT-R supercar, was also in Japan to sign a new deal to extend his role as brand ambassador for...

This past week Lamborghini revealed its updated 2013 Gallardo range, which for the latest model year gets revised styling and a host of new personalization options.

With the 918 Spyder getting closer to its developmental end-game, and the new 991 911 out and about in several forms, it appears it's time for the talk to turn back to the car that will fill the gap between the two. Rumors being what they are, there's not a lot new here, but the source of the...

Two drivers taking part in a Ferrari cruise in China over the weekend unfortunately met with a very nasty accident, which saw both of their exotics destroyed.

Following the debut of the facelifted 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo coupe range at last month’s 2012 Paris Auto Show, the first images and details for the 2013 Gallardo Spyder have now hit the Web. They reveal the same aggressive look that we saw on the coupe, plus a few unique elements. The car...

Jay Leno has a passion for early Bugatti automobiles, and has numerous examples in his collection. When Bugatti chose this year's Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance for the North American debut of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, the ultra-luxury automaker even sprayed the car in the same white...

The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder LP 560-4 has been revealed, and like its hardtop sister, it's a case of minor upgrades and adjustments rather than a hardcore redesign. Mercedes' CLA 45 AMG has been spied again, this time showing the final shape--though still camouflaged--of the upcoming small...

Lexus recently held a competition on its Facebook page where the prize was a chance to test drive an LFA and experience the supercar at the Skip Barber Racing School at Laguna Seca. Oh, and the winner was also to receive some one-on-one time with pro racer and Lexus spokesman Scott Pruett. Well...

Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world, can run 100 meters in 9.58 seconds and 200 meters in 19.19 seconds, both world records. He has a thing for fast cars too as evidenced by his joy over lapping in the Ferrari 458 Italia and 599 GTB at Italy's Fiorano circuit. Recently, Bolt partnered with...

At that rate, production of the LFA is slated to end this December...

Update: Marc Arnold, the pilot for Rocky Mountain Jet who flew the Eclipse 500 against the Lexus LFA, was kind enough to give us detailed information on the race. Rather than leaving his insight as a comment, we thought it more relevant to include it in the body of the original story. Thanks go to...

For Lamborghini, producing one more car than what the customer demands is not an option. Lamborghini is all about exclusivity, and this is something that’s not going to change anytime soon, at least if CEO Stephan Winkelmann is in charge. But engineering and building world-beating supercars...
