Underground Racing has returned to the half-mile three times in the past year, and each time it's outdone itself with its 3,000-horsepower, street-legal Lamborghini Huracán. Most recently, the car was driven to a record speed of 250.27 mph. This has since been obliterated with a 257 mph half-mile run. Once again, its madman Gidi Chamdi who piloted the twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Huracán to the latest record, which can be seen in the Instagram video below. The Huracán launches softly but quickly picks up speed to rocket down the half-mile. 3,000 hp is on tap, but...

At the age of 15, most of us were simply dreaming of seeing a Ferrari that wasn't hung up on our bedroom walls. NBA star Dwyane Wade's son at the age of 15? He's driving one. Wade's son, Zaire, obviously hasn't lived a typical life. As the son of a 12-time NBA All-Star and three-time champion, the...

Rare blue Ferrari Enzo heading to auction in London

In the case of this Ferrari Enzo, it's actually been painted multiple times, making it a very rare car among already rare machines. Today, it's finished in Blu Tour de...

A new Pagani Zonda shows that this car will never die
The Pagani Zonda is the car that will never die and we're 100 percent okay with that, but we just wish Pagani would stop calling each iteration "the last one." A brand new "last Zonda" has just been revealed at Monterey Car Week in California: the Zonda HP Barchetta has been built for the man in...

When we caught wind of the first U.S. street-legal McLaren F1 for sale, we said there wouldn't be enough time for all of us to collectively scrape our change together. Since the auction has concluded, that statement rings truer than we first imagined. Why? Because this special McLaren F1 has become the most expensive example ever sold with a final price of $15.62 million. The sum hurdles the previous record of $13.75 million for a 1998 McLaren F1 that had received LM specifications. That car sold in 2015 during Monterey Car Week. The sale of McLaren F1 chassis 044 is a big deal since it's...

Meet the "Panda" Bugatti Chiron
Another day, another multi-million dollar supercar delivered. It's yet another Bugatti Chiron, but it's a special supercar, though, and it has a name: Panda. We'll give you one guess as to why this is the "Panda" Bugatti Chiron. Done guessing? It's because of the supercar's black and white exterior...

Porsche cars from all eras are rising in value at a brisk pace. Certain 911 Carreras from the 1970s can fetch high six- and even low seven-figure sums. Few Porsche cars from the modern era command that sort of dollar. One such car that does is the mighty Carrera GT, and an incredibly clean example is heading to the Mecum auction in Monterey. Produced between 2003 and 2007, Porsche built just 1,270 examples of its mid-engine supercar. Behind the driver and passenger sat a 5.7-liter aluminum V-10 engine with sodium-cooled exhaust valves and titanium connecting rods. Output was 603 horsepower...

Okuyama hasn't hung up automotive design since then, and his latest creation is set to debut at Pebble Beach this week. The one-off Ken Okuyama...

The first Ford GT40 Roadster is up for sale
When it comes to rare cars, it doesn’t get much rarer than a Ford GT40 prototype, as just 12 were built. But even rarer still is a prototype for the Ford GT40 Roadster, of which just four were built and only one remains in its original condition. That one prototype, the 1965 Ford GT40...

2018 Ford GT Heritage edition to honor 1967 Le Mans winner
From the beginning of the reborn Ford GT program, the idea was to bring the car to market in time to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the Ford GT40's 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ford made much ado about the historic accomplishment by competing with the new GT in Le Mans last...
