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 […]

Built on the concept of extreme lightweight & burly V8 power
Niche coach builder Lucra Cars were founded on the concept that you could engineer a car that featured both extreme light weight and burly V8 power, with an emphasis on balanced weight distribution and superior ergonomics. After crafting the curvaceous LC470, the California-based Lucra now unveils their latest ode to petroleum burning thrills: the L148. […]

GM revives the Stingray moniker, but has the C7 earned it?
It’s like a stepping into a time machine. Marty McFly skipping through the decades, the vehicle of choice not a DeLorean DMC-12 but rather a Corvette — one gleaming white specimen morphing from generation to generation. The concept is genius, and frankly astounding that no other automaker has offered it before: the opportunity to test […]

With 3 engine options & a whole lotta heartache
Last night, in a large hangar in Playa Vista, Los Angeles, Jaguar lavished a well-heeled and sharply dressed crowd with Pimm’s Cup cocktails and bangers before it unveiled its latest automotive creation: the F-Type Coupe. We already drove the gorgeous F-Type Roadster across the Italian landscape this summer — one of the highlights of the year […]

The 600 horsepower/481 pound-feet of torque Godzilla
Nissan’s GT-R established its supercar pedigree on the famed (and deadly) corners of the Nürburgring, at one time holding the record for a lap time against cars four times its cost. Part of the reason the car earned its “Godzilla” namesake. It has since been eclipsed, but the folks at Nissan seem determined to reclaim […]

The most expensive "production" car on Earth loses its top
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 […]

Turn your American supercar into a wagon
Santa Ana, CA-based Corvette modifiers Callaway Cars have designed an AeroWagon shooting brake version of GM’s technical wonder Corvette Stingray. The seventh-gen C7 gets a booty extension to make it more practical — and a waaaaay cheaper alternative to Ferrari’s FF (altho the FF is AWD). The concept was designed by Paul Deutschman, Callaway’s long-time […]

Bavaria's prodigal son has returned
We jump into BMW’s renewed third generation M6 Coupe supercar, just to see if Bavaria’s regained its mojo. With menacing authority — and 580 horses + 500 lb-ft of torque — the carbon fiber crowned sled definitively says yes. The high performance GT is about all you can handle. All images by James Bailey. I’m […]
