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 […]
Aerial adventure company Sky Combat Ace invited Nicolas Stecher to jump aboard one of their Extra 330 LC stunt planes — the most agile prop plane on Earth — and fly with one of their fighter pilots for AskMen. Little did he know that he would be piloting his own plane through an Evel Knievel list […]
Lost In A Supermarket gets behind the wheel of the Zenvo ST1, the vehicle destined to put Denmark on the Ultra Supercar Map. Tested at the Willow Springs International Raceway, Nicolas Stecher got a taste of what it’s like to feel 1,104 horsepower at his disposal. One word? Ludicrous. All images taken exclusively for Lost […]
Sadly, the last of the groundbreaking Bugatti Veyrons has just been sold this week, ending the very exclusive 300 production run of a vehicle that represents one of the greatest engineering feats in modern automotive history. As a final exclamation point on the truly landmark vehicle, Bugatti has teamed up with Berlin’s Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (Royal […]

Developed in collaboration […]
It seems French supercar maker Bugatti (well, it is owned by VW so that’s a bit questionable) are in a Supercar Cold War pit against American supercar maker Shelby SuperCars. After the Bugatti Veyron claimed the title of World’s Fastest Production Car in 2005, SSC snatched the belt with its Ultimate Aero. Bugatti of course […]
Who’s got time to wind 16 timepieces individually? That’s a whole lot of wrist-turning. If you have 16 watches — and $100,000 (€75,000) lying around — then you’ll wanna pick up OriginTimes ridiculous Bugatti engine-block derived watch winder. Utilizing the Bugatti Veyron’s 16 cylinder engine, each goatskin-lined piston chamber fits and winds its own watch. […]
The problem Bugatti is having is that although their Veyron is absolutely world class, they’ve basically been pushing the same model for nearly a decade (longer if you count the concept). Sure they’ve changed colors, added polished aluminum, kitted it out with carbon fiber and cut off its roof, but in the end its just […]
