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 [...]

It seems like a lifetime since the end of last year’s F1 season but here we are finally with the season opener from Bahrain.

I. In case your Murcielago doesn’t look enough like Kitt from Night Rider, Prindville Prestige has your solution. Decked in satin grey paint, more vents, a chunky rear diffuser, and some serious throwback grille slats, this is ’80s your Lamborghini was missing.
