Speaking of supercar awesomeness, check out what the company with more consonants than sense has going on right now. It’s the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition – a 250 mph exercise in carbon-fiber artistry. Just look at this thing. The oh-so-sexy ride can launch to 60 in 2.9 seconds thanks to its light-weight body and the hellishly [...]
While it may look like a Ferrari F430’s snout grafted onto a Lamborghini Gallardo from the A-pillar back, this is in fact the upcoming McLaren P11. You are to think of it as McLaren F1 light. Instead of a 600+ hp V12 sourced from BMW the P11 will sport a 550-ish horsepower 6.2-liter V8 sourced from [...]
We love good news. Especially good Italian news. And when that good Italian news is not only affordable but possibly coming to America, we smile double. You’ve heard rumors of the Alfa MiTo GTA and it’s turbocharged 230 hp 1.75-liter mill for some time. And now we can happily report it’s all true! Coming in [...]
Er, uh, actually some of our German colleagues are saying maybe, but either way it’s a compelling notion. Autobild says that in addition to a 1-series replacement, the Roundel boys are working on a RWD sports car based off the same chassis. One that would actually be akin to a 2002 successor. Unlike say the 135i which [...]
I. While we may not be getting the Pontiac G8 ST, Brit importers already have the Holden version, called the Maloo, on the grey market. It may have a silly name, and even sillier paint schemes, but it’s hard to argue with a 425 hp kangaroo killer. All that power, and Autocar claims it can [...]
OK, now we’re cooking with gas. And massive turbo boost. You are feasting your eyes (and GT5 ambitions) on the known-about-forever but only now officially revealed Nissan GT-R SpecV. Feels good just thinking about it, no? Especially after so many months of only hearing about it. So, what makes a Godzilla into a SpecV Godzilla? Well let me [...]
You know what’s hard to get journalistically excited about? More iterations of the 997. I mean, wasn’t the current GT3 RS released last Tuesday? And wasn’t it the most amazing, da-bombtastical road going machine ever conceived of by (German) man? Why is Porsche replacing it so soon? What’s wrong with it? And didn’t Porsche just [...]
Is a bunch of useless, incredibly overpriced crap. Seriously. I’ve been getting rusted car parts for Christmas since long before I could drive. The tradition started thanks the Mark III and usually continues in some form or fashion every year. When I was 15 it was a near-flawless windshield for the Lincoln. Last year it [...]
Following the trend of offering a slightly hardened version of an existing model, Maserati has unveiled the this, the GranTurismo S MC Sport Line. But before you start thinking “ooh look at all the carbon fiber bits,” let’s take a deep breath and think about this. Obviously any car with a howling 440 hp 4.7-liter [...]
Looks like the Godzilla faithful over at GT-R Blog have gotten their grubby mitts on the GT-R Spec V’s, er, specs. Power gets a subtle nudge up to 485 horses (from 478), which is a hit below the belt for fans hoping for gusto numbers in the 520-plus range (though the hand builtiness of each [...]
