Houston, Texas-based modifiers of obscene horsepower, Hennessey, fill their corporate coffers supercharging Corvette and Cadillac engines to the point of absurdity. But they are best known for their Bugatti-killing Venom hypercar. Hennessey and Bugatti, in fact, have gone back to the lab many times in the past 10 years to squeeze out a bit more power […]

Aiming to take the mantle of one of the world's fastest cars
The International Supercar Wars just got a little testier this week, with the pronouncement from a California-based company called Trion Supercars that they were engineering a 2,000-horsepower rubber and asphalt devourer. Dubbed the Nemesis, the wildly curvaceous hypercar takes some styling cues from the McLaren P1, but quickly moves on from there to craft a […]

Only 6 of the $2,000,000 Swedish machines to be built
Are you ready for the most ridiculous automotive stat, well, ever? Swedish hypercar specialist Koenigsegg is boasting their new vehicle will feature a one-to-one power-to-weight ratio of 1,340 horsepower to 1,340 kilograms (2,950 pounds). I’m not sure which is more ludicrous — the 1,340 horses under the hood or the Kate Moss-on-coke-diet-like 1,340 kilograms of […]

Not quite cancelled, 5 extremely exclusive cars to be built
Don’t you hate when automakers flaunt engorged stats and titillating images of cars they know they’ll never let you have? It’s the gearhead’s equivalent of going to a strip club: all stimulation, no realization. Such is the case with Jaguar who are releasing new images of its aborted C-X75 Concept. Originally debuted in 2010 at the […]

The Italian built, AMG-powered racecar's last iteration
The car that built Pagani, the Zonda, is nearing the end of its life cycle with the the track-oriented Zonda Revolucion. The lightweight 2,358 lbs hypercar keeps its weight down due to a state-of-the-art carbon-titanium monocoque chassis, and is powered by an 800 hp, 538 lb-ft of torque 6.0L V12 sourced from the boys over […]

The $200,000, 565 bhp & 205 mph British sports car
Hot on the heels of the stunning, recently launched Vanquish, Aston Martin unveils their brand new supercar: the V12 Vantage S. Like the Vanquish the Vantage S now sports Aston’s signature AM28 6.0-liter V12 powerplant, a big step up from the former Vantage’s more pedestrian V8. But just like its younger sibling, the V12 Vantage […]

50th Anniversary single-seater designed by Walter de Silva
Lamborghini continues its self-aggrandizing 50th Anniversary celebrations with what could be its most far-fetched, out of this world vehicle yet. The Egoist concept is thus named because the car can only fit the (self-absorbed) driver, with no room for anyone else in his life. It also features a carbon fiber and aluminum “hybrid” chassis, and […]

Another exotic ride debuts at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show
Remember the Aspid GT-21 Invictus 450-HP Supercar? Well Aspid’s not the only Spanish supercar builder alive and kicking as Spania demonstrated at the Geneva Motor Show this year. The Iberian automaker unveiled its 900-horsepower GTA Spano, a heavily carbon fiber filled beast aiming its twin-turbocharged 8.4-liter V10 at the likes of the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren […]
