McLaren Automotive, the road car division of the McLaren motorsport group, is on the verge of launching its first all-new model in decades: the MP4-12C. It’s hard to believe that the company’s last model is now more than 20 years old. That’s right, the legendary McLaren F1 supercar has just turned 20 and to celebrate the occasion the British sports car company is planning a host of events. In 1988, McLaren took the decision to expand from F1 and design and build what it describes as “the finest sports car the world had ever seen”. In March of 1990 the team that was to create the F1...

The Bugatti Veyron, an all-star of the supercar world may soon get a healthy power boost. At roughly 1000hp, I wouldn't exactly say the current Veyron lacks motivation. Even so, Bugatti apparently plans to boost this impressive figure by 200hp. I can only speculate that the increased engine power will serve to increase top speed and shrink the vehicle's 0-60. Wait a minute. We're talking about a car with OVER 1000 horsepower, capable of a top speed well beyond 200mph. Who really cares how fast it can get to a measly 60mph? It's not so uncommon for supercars to propel themselves beyond 200mph...

Tuner cars are often works of art, flights of fancy or out-and-out racers, but rarely are the upper echelons of performance-tuned cars graced by models intended as daily drivers. Techart's latest modifications to the 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo are an exception to that rule, however--if you can afford the upkeep. Starting with the Porsche 911 Turbo as its basis certainly didn't hurt the transformation into monstrously powerful daily driver--it was already more than halfway there. Now, however, the car takes its compressed charge of air and turns it into 620 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque...
