  • Bugatti Chiron telemetry

    Tesla has popularized remote monitoring and updating of cars with its “over the air” system, but it wasn't the first automaker to do so. Bugatti had a similar system in place when it launched the Veyron last decade and with the car's successor, the 1,480-horsepower Chiron, the French brand has taken its remote services to the next level. Since there are so few Chirons on the road—Bugatti will build a maxmium 500 units—the cars can all be individually monitored. Telemetry data from individual cars is constantly sent back to Bugatti's headquarters in Molsheim, France...

  • Lamborghini Aventador SV Miura Green
    Miura-inspired Lamborghini Aventador SV makes us green with envy

    The Lamborghini Miura holds a place in the pantheon of all-time great supercars. Lamborghini paid homage to the Miura with an Aventador decked out in vintage cues two years ago, and the company is at it once again. Rather than a limited run of 50 cars like last time, though, this homage is a...

  • Xing Mobility Miss R prototype electric supercar

    With news of the 2020 Tesla Roadster's 1.9-second 0-60 mph time, the Silicon Valley-based carmaker put a target on its back. A Taiwanese firm by the name of Xing Mobility hopes for a bullseye with its Miss R rally-inspired electric supercar. The firm provided details on its electric supercar on Monday, and it will allegedly produce 1,341 horsepower and sprint from 0-60 mph in just 1.8 seconds. The company released the information as the Miss R undergoes prototype testing in a variety of terrains. The prototype car is also appearing at AutoTronics Taipei this week where the company will show...

    You need to be invited to visit America’s Muscle Car Museum

    Mark Pieloch started learning body and paint work while he was still in high school in the little town of Groveland, Massachusetts, and that led to restoration projects, 10 of them over his first 30 years. He left all that behind to become a very successful entrepreneur, patenting and manufacturing...

  • 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition for auction
    One of 50 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Editions heads to auction

The special LFA will grace the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction, which runs from April 12 to 15, and the...

  • BMW M1 AHG Studie for sale
    Incredibly rare 1981 BMW M1 AHG Studie for sale for $930k

    The BMW M1 remains a brilliant but briefly offered gem in the automaker's history.

    John Hennessey shows how a new Ford GT is delivered

    The purchase and ultimate delivery process that comes along with a supercar is a bit different than what you might experience when you buy the family sedan or truckster. Those vehicles are fine, but they don't deserve pomp and circumstance. A machine like the 2018 Ford GT, however, does. John...

  • Koenigsegg Agera Final, 2016 Geneva Motor Show

    Koenigsegg on Wednesday announced that it is in the process of building its last two Agera hypercars, after which the company's sole product will be the Regera hybrid. The last Ageras are the two remaining examples of the three-car Agera Final collection announced in 2016. Koenigsegg presented the first Agera Final at that year's Geneva auto show. It isn't clear why the first of the three Agera Finals was already presented two years ago, though perhaps it's one of the final examples by VIN only, because we know 25 Agera RS cars were built after it. Buyers of the Agera Final were able to...

    Bugatti boss isn't interested in Chiron's top speed

  • Koenigsegg Agera RS during 2017 production car land speed record attempt
    Koenigsegg Agera RS owner encouraged top speed run

    Many of the automotive industry's records and accolades are specifically sought after by the companies themselves. Not so for the Koenigsegg Agera RS' top speed record run. Actually, the owner of the car came up with the idea. Koenigsegg's founder, CEO and namesake, Christian von Koenigsegg, told...

  • 2019 Jaguar I-Pace

    The days of all long-hood, shapely Jaguar sedans and coupes may be numbered. The automaker’s 2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric car made its U.S. debut this week at the 2018 New York auto show and its designer Wayne Burgess said that drawing the I-Pace required him to skip what made his Aston Martin DB9 and Jaguar F-Types universally admired. “If I were to design an electric sports car or supercar, I would make it as cab-forward as I could—what’s not to love about a Lamborghini Countach? Or a Series 1 Lotus Esprit? I think you can get a really, really exciting electric...
