The quantum crushing engineers over at AMG have summited many a nerd apex. They’ve obliterated previously held thresholds time and again since the company’s formation in 1967, and have continued to do so throughout their partial sale to Mercedes-Benz in 1990 and their eventual complete absorption under the Daimler AG umbrella in 2005. And with […]
While wandering the cavernous halls of the Geneva Automotive Salon this week of course we were wowed by the obvious choices — like the over-the-top-but-gorgeous Ferrari LaFerrari, as well as the over-the-top-but-repulsive Lamborghini Veneno — but for personal reasons we were most excited about the Alfa Romeo stand.

The Spyder is essentially the topless version of the previously released Coupe,with the same drivetrain and innovative technology. The BMW i8 Spyder Concept is a plug-in hybrid powered by a mid-mounted turbocharged […]
The Dutch Huet Brothers have always loved building vintage-inspired vehicles built on the guts of modern performance cars. So it is odd they chose the ill fated (and electronically challenged) Triumph TR6 as the base for their first vehicle, the HB Special. Luckily the boys from Netherlands have smartened up and for their latest creation, […]
Gearheads worldwide, accept the awful truth: the future of the V12 (and many think the V8, as well) is in peril. Its glory days are numbered.
