Supercars

While it’s not uncommon to see a brand new supercar concept from an unknown startup, it’s not often that the supercar in question is a homegrown creation. Of course, America’s supercar scene is far from lacking, with cars like the SSC Ultimate Aero and Saleen S7 continuing to draw...

The Underground Racing name has become synonymous with high-performance exotics, thanks mostly to the tuning firm’s special projects like this 250+ mph Lamborghini Gallardo and fire-breathing Murcielago LP670-4 SV. With a score chart like this under its belt, it’s not surprising that...

The Noble M600 supercar has been a long time in the making, with reports on the car dating back several years and a number of prototypes being revealed since then. Today, Noble has taken the wraps off the production ready version of the car, which is expected to start deliveries in the U.K. this...

Porsche has consistently expressed its desire to double its current levels of sales to around 150,000 to 200,000 vehicles in the mid to long term, and to do so its main strategy is to launch several new models including two whole new vehicle lines. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche CEO...

The wraps are finally off Pagani’s new supercar, the Huayra (pronounced why-eera), which like the Zonda it replaces was named after a South American wind. Also like the Zonda, aerodynamics once again played a major role in the car’s development, which is one of the primary reasons that...

The annual Gooding & Company vehicle auction in Scottsdale, Arizona has come and gone and this year we’re glad to report that the event saw a new record fall. As we reported earlier, this year’s Gooding auction featured some of the rarest cars on the planet, most of which were part...

Lamborghini's venerable Murcielago is due for retirement, with a car variously named the Aventador or the Jota tapped to take its place. Part of the new car's appeal for the enthusiast will be the first production application of a pushrod suspension by Lamborghini, and the system will be on show...

With this month’s unveiling of the new 918 RSR hybrid race car concept, which featured a distinct coupe bodystyle, there were immediately suggestions that the cool convertible bodystyle seen on the previous 918 Spyder concept would be dropped at production time. Nothing can be further from...

While the new 458 Italia is almost universally acclaimed as one of the best looking Ferraris in years, perhaps even in all time, the recently unveiled Ferrari FF is drawing mixed responses from most that have seen it. Ferrari has certainly ventured into new territory with the FF, which features a...

This past week we saw rioters in the African nation of Tunisia make off with a Ferrari 599 GTB supercar, which just so happened to belong to the country’s ousted president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who has fled to Saudi Arabia. Now another Ferrari, this one reportedly owned by a member of...

The first three Lexus LFAs to roll off the production lines and cross the salty seas to our shores have arrived, and they're silver, black, and white. They're also packed like a nuclear missile. Test-driven and signed by an engineer before leaving their point of origin, each LFA is strapped to its...

A brand new supercar is in the works and you can bet that this one is going to sizzle as it has some very big shoes to follow, being the successor to the now legendary Pagani Zonda. Expected to make its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the same event where close rival Lamborghini will be...

Ferrari says its new FF--its big premiere for the upcoming 2011 Geneva Motor Show--is its first four-wheel-drive sports car ever. The new FF made its online debut today, in advance of the Geneva show, with the explanation that "FF" stands for four-wheel drive and four seats. Powered by a V-12...

McLaren Automotive's Ferrari and Lamborghini hunter, the 2012 MP4-12C, now has a starting price here in the U.S.: $229,000. That's a hefty tag, to be sure, but it's right on par with the Italian competition. Considering the MP4-12C's incredible stats, it would probably be a fair price even if it...

In the latest episode of the Lexus ‘The Hard Way’ promo, a series that details the intricacies involved in manufacturing Lexus vehicles, the automaker shows off its advanced mechanical loom that’s used in creating carbon fiber pieces for its LFA supercar. Using a similar process...

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Driving down a highway in Tunisia, a news team happened to film a man allegedly stealing a bright yellow Ferrari 599 GTB supercar. What’s odd is that he uses an oversized forklift to transport the vehicle, carrying it home in broad...

What car do you buy when your usual mode of transportation is a Formula One race car? Well, in Mark Webber’s case, you buy a brand new 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. The Aussie F1 star took delivery of his latest ride, the fastest and most powerful road-going model ever built by Porsche, just...

We’ve seen plenty of 2012 Lexus LFA supercars before, in all sorts of colors, and with each incarnation we saw it was evident that the cars were becoming more and more refined. However, up until now, these LFA examples were all pre-production prototypes, developed either for testing or...

An unnamed buyer has just dropped $217,100 on a used 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and, to make matters worse, the car was extensively modified. Normally, this would seem a ridiculous amount to pay for such a vehicle but in this case the car was previously owned by none other than soccer star...

Nissan used this weekend’s 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon to roll out a new edition of its GT-R supercar, one aimed at well-heeled track enthusiasts and privateer race teams. If you’re unfamiliar with the Auto Salon, it's essentially the Japanese version of SEMA and manages to draw in the major...
