Long respected in the world of professional motorsport, McLaren Automotive successfully transitioned into the world of production cars with the introduction of the MP4-12C in 2011. In only its third year the company notched a profit, an unheard of achievement in the hyper-competitive world of upper echelon street rockets. Which isn’t surprising, after all, considering […]

Many high performance cars are built upon the framework of America’s Greatest Sports Car, the Corvette Chevrolet. But Californian Fardees Rezvani has a different plan — he wants to build his performance car around the framework of Britain’s Greatest Track Car: the Ariel Atom. Using the Ariel’s open-wheel lightweight frame, Rezvani is wrapping his aptly […]

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 […]

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 […]

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).

With every nation under the sun seemingly joining the epic Supercar Wars — including Poland’s Arrinera De Veno, India’s DC Design Avanti, Mexico’s Mastretta MXT, Spain’s Aspid GT-21 Invictus, etc — it was only a matter of time until America’s hat, aka Canada, got in on the action. The Quebec-based Felino Cars has unveiled its cB7 supercar, a carbon-fiber-loaded […]

Some cars are known for performance. Some for luxury. Some are even known for teetotalling efficiency. Not Audi’s RS7 fastback. Its executive supercar is all business.  All images by James Bailey.  When Tom stepped into the gleaming Audi dealership in downtown Denver, he knew exactly what vehicle he had his eyes set on. He’d spent the […]

The Z06 was born in 1963 as an option package on the iconic “split-window” Corvette, and was then resuscitated in 2001 for the C5 generation Vette. Developed by Corvette’s engineer and racing advocate Zora Arkus-Duntov, the idea of the original Z06  was for GM to offer a modified Vette package out of the factory for […]
