  • Brand new 2005 Ford GT for sale

    Ford's (in)famous vetting process for its modern GT supercar is fairly intense, but there's perhaps something even better for sale currently.

Hawk Ford in Niles, Illinois, has placed the car for sale, which features a red exterior color with white stripes. Motor Authority confirmed with the dealership that the car is still for sale as of Thursday. So the story goes, Zimmerman Ford purchased the car when the first-generation GT began production.

  • Ferrari F40 Tribute by Samir Sadikhov
    Designer Samir Sadikhov envisions a modern Ferrari F40

    Ferrari's F40 is without doubt an icon. Its wedge shape and pop-up lights perfectly encapsulate automotive design of the 1980s, when it was launched, and unlike many cars of the era, there's performance on hand to back up the looks. The F40 was also the last vehicle to earn the personal stamp of...

  • 2018 McLaren 570S Spider

    In Hales Corners, Wisconsin, last Saturday night a 14-year-old boy named Sam reached over and pushed down on his mom’s knee to get the family’s Chrysler Town & Country moving. Her foot went to the floor, the Chrysler Pentastar V-6 perked up, and the van accelerated at a modest clip. “Meh, it’s just not the same,” Sam said. As a McLaren, that is. Minutes earlier, I had taken Sam for a ride in a 2018 McLaren 570S Spider. I accelerated at a brisk pace onto the freeway, drove at a whopping 30 mph in a couple roundabouts, and kicked the tail out in a corner. It...

  • 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien
