The McLaren 765LT starts at $358,000. In perspective, that is more than a Ferrari 812 Superfast or a Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S. It’s almost $100,000 more than a Lamborghini Huracán Evo. However, it does have a few tricks and treats for the lucky owner of one of the only...

One would think that a super-SUV, considering ground clearance and the fact that it is a utility vehicle, would not be all that concerned with aerodynamics. This is, however, a Ferrari Purosangue, and if the boffins at Maranello are laser-focused on one things, it’s on making it the fastest super-SUV,...
The biggest point that is brought up in this review that many others gloss over or make a small comment about is that the new Ferrari Purosangue will only ever have one engine: A 6.5L naturally aspirated Tipo F140GA V12 pounding out 725 HP. This engine is the same that...

AutoCar prefaces their review of the new Ferrari Purosangue with a simple question: “Can an SUV also be a sports car?” On the face of it, that really is what Ferrari are setting out to do, a dual-class car. By making their new four-door, four-seat vehicle as practical as a...

In the mid-fifties, Harry Brown’s Rodley 750, a small car he had designed, was a disastrous flop as its JAP engine would overheat and ignite. It was considered one of the worst cars of its time. Nonetheless, undeterred, Harry returned a year later with a vengeance and created one of...
Market it as they might, the Ferrari Purosangue is the answer from Maranello to super-SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, Aston Martin DBX, and Lamborhini Urus. Insisting on calling it a Ferrari Utility Vehicle (FUV) doesn’t remove the fact that this is a taller, wider, longer, and four door...

The Aston Martin Valkyrie isn’t really a supercar, nor a hypercar, this £2,500,000 million limited-edition monster is a 1,160 hp behemoth that just might be street-legal in many countries, but is it practical? Who are we kidding, with a car that looks like a Formula One car with a canopy,...
