  • 2013 SRT Viper GTS on Jay Leno's Garage

    It’s hard to believe that not even three months have passed since the 2013 SRT Viper made its debut at the 2012 New York Auto Show. Since then the car has been featured in literally thousands of magazines and websites around the world, and now it has made an appearance on Jay Leno’s Garage. Being the Viper fan that he is, television host and comedian Jay Leno does little to hide his enthusiasm. After all, with the new Viper packing an 8.4-liter V-10 engine delivering 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels in a chassis that weighs less than 3,300 pounds, who...

  • McLaren's GREAT-themed MP4-12C GT3

  • Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

    Not much is known about Bugatti’s successor for the Veyron supercar. That’s probably because the Veyron itself is still being built and the model after it, due around 2014, will be a production version of the Bugatti Galibier sedan concept. This means that the Veyron’s successor is still quite a few years away, at the earliest, but that doesn’t mean Bugatti isn’t toying around with some ideas for its new flagship supercar. Speaking with AutoExpress, Bugatti’s chief engineer Jens Schulenburg confirmed that work on the Veyron successor had already commenced...

  • The Pagani Zonda R Evo

    Officially, the Pagani Zonda’s production run lasted from 1999 through 2011, with just 206 examples ever built. Toward the end of the car’s production run, beginning in 2009, Pagani produced a track-only version of its supercar called the Zonda R. Only 15 Zonda R models were built over the car’s lifespan, and it’s said the uber-supercar was created as a rolling testbed for Pagani’s latest masterpiece, the Huayra. The Zonda R quickly proved itself as one of the fastest cars in the world, lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife in an astonishing 6:47. Word of an...
