  • Mansory's Aventador Carbonado

    We’ll admit it: we haven’t always been fans of the vehicles produced by high-end tuning firm Mansory. Its rendition of the McLaren MP4-12C, for example, left us speechless and not in a good way. Its remake of the Lamborghini Aventador was better, but it still had far too much tacked-on carbon fiber to be what we’d call refined. While we have no doubt that Mansory can make cars go faster, its heavy-handed styling simply hasn’t appealed to our tastes. Until now, that is. Mansory has reworked the Lamborghini Aventador into a limited production model it’s calling the...

    Bugatti Spaceship Crash Lands For Comic-Con

    Automaker Bugatti already has a lengthy history in building some of the finest (and fastest) vehicles, aimed at buyers for whom money is not a concern. If the upcoming science fiction saga Elysium is accurate, Bugatti appears to have quite a future, too. Set in the year 2159, Elysium tells a...

    Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Torn Apart During Crash: Video

    The driver of this Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was lucky to walk away from a crash that literally tore his car apart. He was driving the bright red supercar on a road in Moscow, Russia, earlier this month when he allegedly lost control and careened into a roadside pole. The fact that the force of the...

    McLaren Launches Configurator For MP4-12C Spider

    We love new car configurator sites (especially on Friday afternoons in the summer), but lately the newly-launched configurator sites have been less than captivating. Aston Martin’s configurator for the Vanquish amused us for all of two minutes, thanks to its limited functionality. The...

    2013 SRT Viper, Porsche 918 Spyder Track Pack, 2013 Audi RS 5: Today's Car News

    The 2013 SRT Viper is continuing its track testing, sussing out its final production setup for suspension, tune, and electronics controls, and along the way, it has gotten a new paint job, this time with its trademark twin racing stripes on a field of bright red. Looking good, Viper. The Porsche...

  • 2013 SRT Viper in red and white livery

    The guys at SRT have released this image of the new 2013 edition of the Viper donning the car’s trademark stripes. This is the first time we’ve seen the new model with the double stripe pattern, and we must say it certainly looks good on the car. SRT is quick to point out that this is not simply a fashion statement, and that the car above is actually a pre-production model that was recently used for dry-track stability control testing. According to the automaker the new Viper passed with “flying colors,” which bodes well for fans clamoring to get their hands on one...

    Watch The McLaren MP4-12C Spider Hit The Track: Video

    It’s been more than a week since McLaren took the covers off its brand new MP4-12C Spider, the stunning convertible version of the MP4-12C supercar first launched close to a year ago, and now, finally, we get to see the stunning drop-top in action. McLaren has released a video of the MP4-12C...

    Lexus Teases The First (And Only) Black Amethyst LFA

    One of the advantages to ordering a $375,000 automobile is the amount of personalization you can request. While Lexus may not offer up the same number of bespoke options that Rolls-Royce does, there’s still an impressive amount of factory customization available to LFA buyers. For exterior...

    Pagani Huayra Goes Drifting With Chris Harris: Video

    Some find it the very definition of aesthetic perfection, others see a balance of function and form, and still others can't see anything but a four-wheeled insect. Whatever your take on the Pagani Huayra's design, it's undeniably a fearsome supercar, incredibly rare and exotic, and most certainly...

    Lamborghini Driver Arrested After Posting Video Of Speeding Stunt Online

    The owner of a bright orange Lamborghini Gallardo in Japan has been arrested after posting a video online of a stunt where his car is seen driving in the western part of the city of Hiroshima at speeds of up to 100 mph. The local speed limit for the area his car is seen racing through, almost two...

  • Potential 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Front End from Omega Tool Corp Video

    UPDATE: The video has been removed, but not before we managed to take some screen grabs from it. Automakers work very hard to make sure upcoming vehicles stay a secret, especially with respect to design. This is especially so when it comes to supercars like the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Fortunately for us fans, one of General Motors Tier 1 suppliers just accidentally leaked what is quite possibly the front-end of the new 2014 C7 Corvette. Omega Tool Corp produced a video showcasing what it capable of when it comes to complex molded plastics for cars. Interestingly, it used what...

    Lamborghini Crash Takes Out BMW Motorcycle Dealership

    As much as we love cars, many of us have a thing for motorcycles, too. As you’d guess, we’re not exactly the put-along-below-the-speed-limit-on-a-cruiser type, and many of our fondest two-wheeled memories have been racked up behind the bars of BMW motorcycles. While BMWs may not be as...

    Perhaps hinting at the scale of its future vehicle development program, Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini has opened a new design center aimed specifically at the development of prototypes and concepts.

  • Ferrari 458 Spider at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed

    In this Ferrari-filled video two-pack, you can get a tiny taste of what it was like to be at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend. Ride along as Marc Gené pilots an F60 F1 race car through the tight and twisty Goodwood hill climb course, then watch the 458 Spider take to it as well. While we're huge fans of the F1 car, we have to say the 458 Spider video takes the win in this case. Less talk, more screaming engine, Ferrari.

    By anyone’s standards, the 616-horsepower McLaren MP4-12C (and soon, the MP4-12C Spider) is a fast car. Thanks to its advanced electronic stability control system, it’s also a very safe car, even in the hands of drivers unfamiliar with the car. Despite this, the car is still governed by...
