A couple summers ago we posted about the Arrinera Hussarya Hypercar, Poland’s first entry into the great International Supercar Wars. Although plenty potent on paper — boasting 650 horsepower and 604 lb-feet of torque from its GM-sourced 6.2-liter V8 engine — we took a bit of umbrage at the car’s very derivative sheet metal, saying it “may remind buyers […]
Last week we eulogized the Lamborghini Gallardo, as we noted it was the end of the road for two automotive icons (the other being the hippie classic VW Bus). But you knew the Raging Bull wasn’t going to leave the segment bare, so the world has since waited with baited breath to see its replacement. It […]
This past month two automotive legends ceased production, their spirits rising into the Great Pantheon of Iconic Cars in the sky. Two vehicles that defined terminally opposite points of the spectrum, different in pricepoint, performance, utility, powertrain, spirit… well, just about everything. Even the reasons for ending their lifecycle could not be more different, but […]
We all have a car nut in our lives. Gear-brains. Petrolheads. You know the deal. Guys who like to strap on a helmet every Saturday morning and spend the first couple hours of the weekend slicing up asphalt on a beautiful mountain road.

Ahead of its official 2013 Geneva Motor Show debut, images have leaked of Lamborghini’s latest supercar. The Veneno Roadster is obviously a topless version of the Veneno coupe, which is itself mostly based on the Aventador and its firebreathing 6.5-litre V12 engine. Tuned to generate a blurry-eyed 740 horsepower, the Veneno Roadster’s open-top design is […]
As the black clouds gathered on the skies outside of New Orleans, we all stared warily at the darkening mass and waited for the inevitable clap to announce our anointment of rain. Instead, the only clap heard was the plangent wail of Aston Martin’s naturally aspirated V12 Vanquish engine shifting rapidly through gears, howling on […]
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 […]
To help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Italian supercar maker Lamborghini, the Swiss bicycle builder BMC has put together this Lamborghini Edition Road Bike for their southern neighbors. Like the Porsche 911 also celebrating its half century, Lambo is making no plans to lay low on this special birthday, instead going full force with outlandish […]
