  • Mansory Siracusa Ferrari 458 Italia

    Now here’s one way to ruin a Ferrari 458 Italia. Okay, perhaps it isn’t that bad, but why anyone would want to muck up the near perfect lines of the 458 is beyond us. Nevertheless, the tuning mad scientists at Mansory have developed a new kit for the Italian thoroughbred and have used this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show to debut it. Named after the historic race track on Sicily, the new Mansory Siracusa gains a performance boost over the standard 458 Italia on which it’s based, a lower curb weight and the over-the-top styling package you see here. The main eye catcher...

  • Ruf Rt 12 R based on the Porsche 911
    Ruf Rt 12 R Based On The Porsche 911: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Ruf has never considered itself simply as an aftermarket tuner, seeing itself more as a niche automaker capable of building some of the highest-performance cars on the planet. You only have to take a look at the legendary line of CTR models to understand where this view is coming from, and in...

  • Carlsson C25 Royale based on the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
    Carlsson C25 Royale Based On The Mercedes-Benz SL: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    It’s been a while since we last heard of German tuner Carlsson and its wild C25 supercar loosely based on the Mercedes-Benz SL platform. At last year’s Geneva Motor Show Carlsson first took the covers off the C25 and announced a limited production run of just 25 units of the V-12...

    Lamborghini Flying Doctor To Come To The Rescue Of Damaged Aventadors

    Lamborghini has gone to great lengths to improve the weight and structural rigidity of its new Aventador LP700-4. The latest supercar is not only a powerful brute but it’s also technology-driven, and one standout feature is its extensive use of carbon fiber. In fact, the central structure of...

  • 700 Horsepower Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by Brabus
    Brabus Brute: 700 Horsepower Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Debuts In Geneva

    It wouldn’t be the Geneva Motor Show without some outrageous creation from Brabus and for this year’s event the German tuner hasn’t disappointed. Brabus has unveiled a new twin-turbocharged version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG supercar that promises an output of 700 horsepower and...

  • Gumpert Tornante by Touring Superleggera
    Gumpert Tornante By Touring Superleggera Preview: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Shedding its funky, lego-man exterior for a sleeker, Touring Superleggera-designed skin, Gumpert has moved past the Apollo and on to the Tornante. It's an upgrade, and it goes deeper than the surface. About 220 pounds lighter than the Apollo thanks in part of a carbon monocoque and composite body...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 live photos

    The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 has finally landed, and as expected it looks out of this world--as any Lambo should. Replacing the Murcielago as Lamborghini’s flagship, the Aventador represents the pinnacle of the company's design and construction capabilities. Its performance stats reflect that. It hustles to 62 mph from rest in a scant 2.9 seconds and has a top speed in excess of 217 mph. Power-to-weight ratio sits at 4.96 pounds per horsepower, reflecting the 700 horsepower output and 3,472 pound curb weight in a single stat. Alas, unless you have a spare $379,700 laying around...

    Pagani Huayra Live Photos: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Arguably one of the most anticipated debuts at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the all-new 2011 Pagani Huayra has been revealed and we have to admit that its controversial styling is starting to grow on us. Perhaps it’s the 700 horsepower twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 engine...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
    Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 debuts at 2011 Geneva auto show

    After an absurd week of leaks and broken embargoes, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is officially here. Replacing the Murcielago as the flagship Lambo, the Aventador represents the pinnacle of the company's design and construction capabilities. Its performance stats reflect that. All-wheel drive...

    Mansory Cormeum Based On The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    In the world of high-end car modification, there's extreme, there's insane, and then there's Mansory. But anyone that's actually been inside a Mansory vehicle knows the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into the firm’s over-the-top designs--it's enough to make a modified car a...

  • 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia
    Report: Ferrari 458 Italia With Eco-Friendly HELE System Set For Geneva Debut

    It’s safe to assume that most owners of the Ferrari 458 Italia would have little concern as to how much emissions their cars produce but nevertheless Ferrari is expected to debut a ‘greener’ version of its V-8 supercar during tomorrow’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The new 458...

  • Audi R8 cut-away
    Audi Working On Lightened R8 ‘NF’ Supercar?

    Audi already has a lighter and more hardcore version of its R8 supercar, the new 2011 Audi R8 GT, which comes packing a 560 horsepower V-10 engine and a 220 pound lighter curb weight than the regular R8 V10 model. However, according to a new report, Audi engineers are developing an even lighter...

  • Nissan GT-R englufed by flames after crash

    This is the aftermath of a crash that occurred in Malaysia last week and involved the Nissan GT-R you see here engulfed in flames and a Volkswagen Golf GTI, which managed to get away with relatively minor damage. It’s believed the two cars were heading in opposing directions when they came into contact. The GT-R driver, most likely trying to avert the impending crash, ended up in a ditch on the side of the road. It’s not known whether the car burst into flames due to internal damage or whether its hot exhaust pipes ignited the scrub underneath. Thankfully, the occupants of all the...

  • Koenigsegg Agera R
    1,115 Horsepower Koenigsegg Agera R: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    We can add yet another supercar debut pegged for next week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show; Swedish automaker Koenigsegg has confirmed that a new model based on its Agera supercar will debut at the Swiss event and we now have the first official images and details (you may recall that images of the...

    Ferrari 599 GTO By Novitec Rosso: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    Forget the 458 Italia and forget the Enzo supercar, for when it comes to Ferrari’s fastest ever road car the 599 GTO takes home the honor. However, be that as it may, the Ferrari tuning gods at Novitec Rosso have seen fit to work over the limited edition supercar and boost its performance...

  • Exhaust tuning of the 2012 Lexus LFA
    Video: One Small Reason The Lexus LFA Costs Twice As Much As It Should

    We're still bewildered by the Lexus LFA. Sure, it's fast, it's pretty good-looking, and it has a banshee of a V-10 under the hood. But it's priced at about 1.5-2 times the price of cars that look just as good (or better), are just as quick (or faster) and are far more readily available. This video...

  • Gumpert Tornante leaked again?
    Gumpert Tornante Teased Again Ahead Of Geneva Debut?

    This image may or may not be a teaser of the Tornante, Gumpert's second supercar and already shaping up to be much more aesthetically pleasing than its undoubtedly hard core but decidedly utilitarian Apollo. Part of the reason for the visual improvement is that the Tornante is penned by Italian...

    2012 Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package Preview: 2011 Geneva Motor Show

    We've been hearing about the Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package since last year, and we've been graced with a few images of it along the way. As the Geneva Motor Show approaches, Lexus is gearing up for the full monty with this new gallery of images. Revealing the bright-orange Nurburgring Package car...

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 rolling chassis

    The 2011 Geneva Motor Show is knocking on our door, due to kick off press days in just a week. The latest early arrival is this shot of Lamborghini's Murcielago-replacing Aventador LP700-4, in naked rolling chassis form. If the new chassis looks decidedly familiar in shape, it's for good reason: the Aventador won't be a groundbreaking design. It will, however, be a powerhouse of modern construction, with more carbon under the skin than a West Virginia coal seam. Expanding the carbon fiber monocoque released earlier this month, the rolling chassis adds the front and rear subframes, suspension...

    New i8 Supercar Will Top Eco-Focused BMW ‘i’ Sub-Brand

    We can finally confirm that the production version of 2009’s BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, set to go on sale in October of 2013, will go by the name ‘i8’ and head a range of new eco-focused vehicles from BMW. BMW yesterday announced its new ‘i’ sub-brand...

    Edo Competition LP750 Is World’s Fastest Lamborghini Murcielago

    Germany’s Edo Competition is an expert when it comes to modifying ultra-rare exotics so who better to tune one of Lamborghini’s most hardcore cars ever produced--the limited edition Murcielago LP640. About one and a half years ago the tuning firm’s engineers laid hands on a LP640...

  • Pagani Huayra in Shift 2 Unleashed
    Video: Pagani Huayra Shows Off In Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed

    The Pagani Huayra, like the Zonda before it, is polarizing in design: some love it, some can't wrap their heads around it. We're huge fans of the engine, the overall profile, and the performance--but not sold on many of the details yet. Whichever camp you belong to, you'll enjoy this footage and...

  • Pagani Zonda S
    Pagani Zonda Driver Crashes At 199 MPH, Lives

    If you haven't seen the many crash images of sports and super cars split in half by the sheer force of their high-speed accidents, you're probably bit less morbidly fascinated by the topic than we are. Today's incredible (and incredibly stupid) crash isn't morbid, however. It's fantastically lucky...
