McLaren’s upcoming Ferrari fighter (something they will be doing a lot of this year) has been given a good wringing out by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button at Goodwood, and surprisingly they like it. But then why would would they bite the hand that feeds them (lots of cash)? McLaren just announced the MP4-12C’s full [...]

Chuck Norris turns 70 today. Rumor has it he bought himself a Nissan GT-R for his birthday.
This is why:

Newton’s Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal to a GT-R.
Chuck Norris and Mr T. got into a GT-R and drove [...]

Well, fiends, it’s finally here. Lexus yanked the sheets off of its much spy-shot LFA for the first time in Tokyo and it’s better than we could have imagined. First, there’s a 4.8-liter V10 with 552 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque that revs to a cloud-licking 9,000 rpm. Just sit for a second and [...]

The hairy-chested wrenches at Ferrari rolled out the 2010 458 Italia at Frankfurt – an event I note on the same level of significance as asteroid impacts on Jupiter. Cool, sure, but the effects on my day-to-day existence are negligible at best. Yes, there’s a 570 horsepower V8 mounted mid-ship and a scalpel-precise DSG. And [...]

I’ve been fortunate enough to be taken under the wings of some pretty sharp guys in the auto journo world over the past two years. Good Jonny Lieberman was kind enough to school me in the ways of the blogosphere 15 months ago and still manages to slide a little wisdom my way from time [...]

I was thumbing through Daytona Magazine–an automotive lifestyle book from Japan that I’m lucky to be on the comp list for, when I came across a story about these crazy miniature Lamborghini Murcielagos. We love Lambos here so took look  a little further. Since I do not read Japanese I really don’t have too many [...]

Now this one makes sense. GM’s been trying to rid itself of Saab since well before the company smacked rock bottom earlier this year. A few weeks ago, rumors began swirling about that Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg had an eye on The General’s rebadge dumping ground. Turns out those rumors were the real deal. The [...]

Like most fiends with a pulse, I want a Veritas RS III. I just can’t pass up the car’s Hot Wheels look. Throw in the wicked, 500 horsepower V10 yanked straight from the BMW M5, subtract all electronic babysitting devices and you’ve got an absolute winner. Turns out the company knows it, and is asking [...]

The fiends at McLaren-Mercedes have rolled out some footage of the super sweet SLR Stirling Moss ripping it up on a test track. The $1 million roadster is powered by 650 horsepower, supercharged V8 – good enough to dart to 60 in 3.5 seconds on its way to a 217 mph top speed. Did we [...]

We finally got our grubby mitts on a shot or two of the wicked new GT500 Super Snake. Yes, sirs, it is as mean as it looks. Very, very mean.
