UK Designer Mark Hostler envisions this incredible “LaMaserati” concept car, based on the LaFerrari platform. The LaMaserati carries over the same 6.3-liter V12 engine with the kinetic energy recovery system removed to save weight. Hostler decided to build the car on a LaFerrari platform in much the same way as the Maserati MC12 was built around the Ferrari Enzo.

Long in the works, the Mazzanti Evantra V8 is one of those elusive supercar designs that has been shown numerous times in rendered and prototype forms, but we didn’t know if or when we’d see the actual car driving on a road.

Each year, Porsche takes some of its beautiful cars to Vermont’s equally beautiful Sugarbush Resort to give attendees an opportunity to drive them in harsh, wintry conditions. Specifically, this year’s Porsche Winter Driving Experience put drivers behind the wheel of an all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4S, under the guidance of professional driving instructors.

Since there’s a slim chance any of us will ever be able to afford a $250,000 Lamborghini Huracán, we’ll have to settle for looking at them from afar. Thankfully, Lambo has rolled out its online configuration application for the new LP 610-4, so we can all paint up our own personal dream car without having to mortgage our futures.

Hyundai collaborated with the Istituto Europeo di Design in Turin to create this stunning concept car, dubbed the PassoCorto, which will be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The 16 students designed the car as part of their thesis project in the Master of Arts in Transportation Design course and worked in collaboration with the Hyundai Design Center Europe.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about cars in Japan is that there’s a crazy nighttime custom car subculture. In this video, we meet a group of these drivers as they show off their exceptionally flashy Lamborghinis (and a Ferrari), several of which have been bestowed with an arsenal of bright and colorful LEDs and strobe lights.

While we’re big fans of the power and performance you can get in today’s Camaros, we’ve never been huge fans of their design – probably because all they ever remind us of is The Transformers’ Bumblebee.

The single-seat BAC Mono has been speeding around circuits in its native U.K. for the last couple of years. Now, the lightweight, carbon fiber track day car is being assembled in the U.S. for customers on this side of the Atlantic.

This classic commercial for Porsche highlights the company’s racing roots with some terrific footage from road races, off-road rallies, top performance circuits, and the early days of auto racing. It’s great to see all the early Porsche race cars and modified 911s winning races and flying over dirt roads.

Aston Martin will be officially unveiling these incredible special edition V8 Vantage models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The V8 Vantage N430 will be available either as a coupe or convertible roadster in a variety of stunning finishes.

When we saw the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge up close and personal at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we were duly impressed by its awesome iridescent paintjob and carbon fiber body accents. The car is being touted as Infiniti’s most powerful car ever, and in advance of the 2014 Geneva International Motor Show now they’ve released a recording of its forced induction engine being revved for all to hear.

Jay Leno, who’s now retired from his TV series and will hopefully have even more time to collect and drive some amazing cars, had a chance to take a look and and drive a 1999 Shelby Brock Daytona Coupe. 

Danish upstart Zenvo’s hypercar is designed to light tracks afire, with its menacing stare and a massive 6.8-liter, 1104bhp engine to back it up. The hand-built, rear wheel-drive car uses a combination of turbocharger and supercharger systems, which are said to offer continuous torque without gaps.

With much of the Northern Hemisphere covered in snow this time of year, it’s no wonder so many of the car videos showing up on the Internet these days involve driving on ice and snow. And while it’s probably advisable that your daily winter driver is some sort of sturdy 4×4 or at least an AWD, there’s nothing quite so fun as a high torque rear wheel-drive car for slipping around if you’ve got a safe place to do it in.

McLaren has revealed its “mid range” supercar, the 650S, ahead of its official debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Positioned between the McLaren 12C and the P1 hypercar, the 650S is expected to be available as a hard top and a convertible model.
