Lots of naked Carbon fiber. Lots of power. And lots of exclusivity. The V12 Vantage V600 is the last hurrah for pure sports cars. I thought the Vantage was just renewed? Well, yes. this is not the new V8 Vantage we are talking about. Rather we are talking about the DB9-derived, last generation … [Read more...]
Lamborghini Huracan Hits Lamppost, Splits in Half
I still fondly remember the opening scene in Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie back in 2011. There was an Audi R8 named Sideways. He did not last very long as he ended up being sliced in half by a Corvette named Sideswipe. The lesson that can be gleaned from this is that when you drive supercars … [Read more...]
Lamborghini Centenario Recalled for Weight Sticker
The Raging Bull from Sant'Agata has made some of the most iconic cars in the past half-century. Certainly, the Lamborghini Centenario belongs in the top ranks. It was created as a commemoration of founder Ferrucio Lamborghini's 100th birthday. Although it makes - and this cannot be debated - … [Read more...]
Holy Cow! The Pope’s Lamborghini will be Up for Grabs!
Or should we say, holy bull? Pope Francis' Bianco Monocerus Lamborghini Huracan will be sold of at auction on 12 May at RM Sotheby's in Monaco.

Playoff Season! We Showoff Some of the NBA Superstars’ Cars
Its Playoff season in the NBA! I’m quite excited to see whether the Golden State Warriors will defend their title and hold-off opponents as they await a healthy Stephen Curry to co-lead the pack with Kevin Durant. Or if they will fall to the hands of the strong James Harden and his Houston Rockets. … [Read more...]
A New Heart for a New BMW M2
The new BMW M2 Competition has been released and it has a new engine under the bonnet. And then some. As we all know – because we have leaked information a few weeks back – the BMW M2 Competition will be supplanted with its bigger sister’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6, the S55. There is a … [Read more...]
Is Downsizing a Pointless Attempt at Regulating Fuel Efficiency?
The old adage ‘there is no replacement for displacement’ might be a little to old. Or is it? At the moment, most of the world’s car manufacturers are opting for downsizing. This topic is not new at all. But aside from the New York Auto Show that just happened, there is not a more … [Read more...]
The Wheels are Alive with the Sound of Music
Often times, we showcase cars which have burbling engines and howling exhausts. We exhibit how much power and torque they have to make mincemeat of a motorway. These days driving is rarely a bliss with traffic. The beautiful sound coming from your rev-happy engine might be a nauseating drone when … [Read more...]
BMW M2 Competition Coming Soon!
Mark your calendars. The reveal date of the most awaited BMW M2 Competition is set on April 25. Ahead of that day, BMW has already given us a glimpse of how it will look like. Oh, goodie!

We have forever written about the coolest engines, drivetrains, and the hottest technologies. But now we are veering off to the most iconic (read: outrageous) wings ever glued on a car.

The Ferrari 250 GTO is Finally Attainable
Only 39 examples of the fabled Ferrari 250 GTO have ever been built from 1962-64. And that includes three 330 GTO's with 4.0-liter V-12 engines. This practically makes these prancing horses unicorns in a sea of cats, snakes, and the resurrection of David Brown. What if Ferrari started selling the … [Read more...]

Italdesign Zerouno So you are bored with your 'regular' Audi R8 but you want more of the same thing. What to do? You get an Italdesign Zerouno. Oh, wait. That's already sold out.

A Rundown of The 88th Geneva Auto Show (Part 1)
The Polestar 1 Volvo has long since started downsizing everything to a 2.0-liter inline-4 for both diesel, and petrol models. And now they've added a hybrid powertrain to take advantage of that flexible 2-liter lump. Volvo's inline-4 is pretty flexible. They have done it turbocharged, … [Read more...]
The Best Four Best 4-pots According to Us
There is quite no replacement for displacement. Except maybe turbochargers. We all know that large capacity engines with more than six cylinders have a) power, b) beautiful engine sounds, and c) power. Case in point, we can list pretty much an endless number of engines using this criteria. For … [Read more...]
Tesla Sales Overtake Mercedes, BMW
"The best or nothing", Mercedes' long standing motto just hit it back dab smack in the face. Because what do you do when some other manufacturer offers more luxury, serenity, and performance -and mileage! - in a car that costs less? You go get one yourself! That is what you ought to … [Read more...]
Attainable Supercars!
At a time when supercars cost upwards of $150,000, there are some that you can buy for less than a third of that. And today we are compiling the most appealing of them all.

‘007’ Aston Martin Vanquish Up for Grabs!
Have we told you how much we love Aston Martins? The last of a dying breed - a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V-12 2014 Vanquish - is up for auction. But this is not just any other Aston Vanquish. This one is numbered '007' because it was actually used by Daniel Craig as, erm, himself. In fact, it … [Read more...]
New Supra Specs Leaked!
The new Nissan GT-R is anything but new. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X has gone bust; the next one will likely not exist. Subaru's "new" WRX STI RA JL FTW OOTD TTYL NBA FIFA has more letters in its name than torque and is also relatively more expensive than a BMW 340i - which has more power and … [Read more...]
Lots of Eights in a V-12
I have been writing a lot of Brabus lately. Well, that's because they keep on getting the headlines. If 888 bhp and 885 lb-ft of twist is not enough to make headlines, I don't know what is. It isn't like the Mercedes-AMG S65 cabrio needed more power. It already churns out 621 bhp and 738 … [Read more...]
Houston, We Have a Problem
1,800 horsepower. I never liked economics but I don't think that the Law of Diminishing Returns applies here. It has 321 hp over a Bugatti Chiron. In the realm of 1,000+ hp hypercars, 1,200 is no different from 1,400. But just to put things into perspective, 321 hp is the figure for everybody's … [Read more...]
