Before anything else, just from the title alone, we know that there are about as many opinions about which race car sounds the best as there are flavors of pancake syrup. That said, there are quite a few race cars that have an absolutely insane soundtrack that everyone agrees on,...
Personally, I’ve always been a fan of AMG cars, the top-of-the-line when it comes to Mercedes performance cars. While I wouldn’t go as hardcore as one of those Black Series editions, a regular Mercedes-AMG is fine with me. While I love a two-door convertible, I would go for either an...

Blog Summary: Not every update to a car is necessary—or worthwhile. In fact, sometimes they make a great car worse. Most major manufacturers are guilty of messing with perfection at least once—from hotshot Italian brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini to dependable Japanese marques like Honda and even normally-practical German companies...

Many of us will most likely never see one of the 70 units of the new Koenigsegg CC850 on the open road, perhaps at a car event, but other than that, most of these hypercars will not leave their air-conditioned garage too often, and those that will are most likely...
Production of the Bugatti Chiron is reaching the end of the line, we’ll be seeing the successor any time soon now, and I’m almost certain some of Bugatti’s more ‘fortunate’ clients have already seen what’s coming next, the first new models since we’re talking about Rimac Bugatti, but if the...

Let’s say you like the Maserati MC20, but it is just too low and too supercar-like for you, and the Maserati Grecale is too big as an SUV, you don’t really need that amount of space … then the new Maserati Gran Turismo is the perfect car for you, and...
The F(errari)-UV of the Future One needn’t go too far back in time—even just a decade—where the mere proposition of Ferrari producing an SUV would be considered heresy of the highest degree. Well, that’s because the Lamborghini Urus didn’t exist until 2018. But since then, Ferrari knew they had to...

I heard about Horacio Pagani from the time he worked for Automobili Lamborghini SpA in the Eighties, where he was responsible for the Countach 25th Anniversary that was unveiled in 1988 as a celebration model, but he moved on to start his very own company, Horacio Pagani SpA, and in...

The 2022 iteration of Concorso Italiano took place on Saturday, August 21, at the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course in Monterey (Seaside), California with Steve Kittrell and Matt Stone sharing commentator duties.

According to the Oxford dictionary, ‘outrageous’ can often be used to mean ‘bold’ or ‘unusual’. A fitting description, then, for the Devel Sixteen, an otherworldly creation trying to pass itself off as a cutting-edge hypercar. The automotive monstrosity blurs the line between fantasy and reality, and we are not just...

The long-awaited Mercedes-AMG One is finally almost ready to be delivered to her fortunate clients, all 275 of them, as that’s the number of cars that will be built. But, there seems to be a catch, as several of these street-legal F1-powered hypercars have been ordered by customers in the...
We hate to admit it, but the era of big-cylinder engines is coming to an inevitable end.

A special edition car typically highlights a special moment or event in the carmaker’s history. A landmark anniversary? A motorsport victory? A tribute to an iconic model? Sure. Why not?

Bugatti unveiled something truly amazing at the 2022 Monterey Car Week, the swansong for the W16 engine, but a sheer beauty nonetheless, the Bugatti Mistral, which happens to be an open-top version based on the Chiron carbon-fiber monocoque, but it’s not just a Chiron with the roof cut away, and...
The Venom F5 Roadster is based on the Hennessey Venom F5 Coupe – the two are nearly identical mechanically – yet distinguishing the Venom F5 Roadster from its fixed-roof sibling are several attributes that set the open-air model apart – physically, cosmetically, and emotionally. Mid-mounted in the carbon-fiber monocoque chassis...
