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 […]

After the big screen was recently rocked by The Dark Knight Rises, the toy pioneers at LEGO only found it appropriate to update their Super Hero Collection with the latest additions from the DC and Marvel cosmos. The updated series includes Bane, the new terrorist leader who overwhelmed Gotham’s finest, Venom, Spiderman and a re-mastered Batman. […]

Last year we posted the Hennessey Venom GT when it was first unveiled, hailing it as the Resurrector of the Great American Muscle Car. Its engine based on a Corvette ZR1’s 6.2 liter V8, the LS9 is modified to various degrees (including the addition of twin turbochargers) to produce up to 1,200 horsepower. Bonkers. That’s […]

Oklahoma-based coachbuilder Classic Recreations has been building modern high performance cars with vintage shells for over 10 years now, perfecting their craft to the point where their cars are competing in motorsport events with contemporary vehicles.

You know, I’m actually not hating on these Marvel Superhero Hoodies. 90% of the times comic book clothing licenses are about as creative as laundry detergent commercials, or as appealing as Ed Hardy on a Revere Beach guido, but these hoodies actually look alright. The long-sleeve, full-zip hooded sweatshirts are 60% cotton / 40% polyester, […]

Last year John Hennessy — Lord Madness of the vehicular world, creator of the Hennessey V700 Cadillac CTS-V and Hennessey Venom GT — dropped a Corvette ZR1’s LS9 engine into a Camaro, and the HPE700 LS9 Camaro was born. This week the Hennessy Performance team decided to go one step further, and chopped the top […]

Hennessey Performance Engineering unveiled their new Hennessey Venom GT today, just to make sure Italy, Germany and Japan didn’t have an exclusive stranglehold on all things bad ass. Not fulfilled with simply supercharging Cadillacs, the Hennessey Venom GT is based on a Lotus Elise chassis and powered by General Motors’ mammoth 6.2 L LS9  supercharged […]
