Mercedes has announced a new and very limited edition version of its sweet AMG GT sports car. The new version is the AMG GT R Roadster. Like it’s coupe brother, the car packs an AMG biturbo V8 engine that makes 577 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, along with lightweight elements and track-focused aero enhancements.

Audi has been making cars that use its powerful V10 engine for 10 years now. To celebrate the birthday, Audi has a new R8 limited edition car called the Audi R8 V10 Decennium. The special sports car is driven by the the most powerful naturally aspirated V10 Audi has produced.

Ferrari is showing off some images and details on its replacement for the already pretty sweet 488 GTB. The new car is called the Ferrari F8 Tributo and will debut officially in Geneva next month. The F8 Tributo pays homage to Ferrari’s classic two-seat, V8-powered berlinetta, and it looks fantastic.

Previously, on TaxTheRich, we got to witness a Ferrari 288 GTO driving off-road, and a Jaguar XJ220 ripping up some grass in the English countryside. In this clip, the man who refuses to treat his supercars with kid gloves takes that very same XJ220, and smashes the hammer down to create an epic burnout, fueled not just by burning rubber, but a little bit of highly-flammable accelerant to get a small fire going.

Lamborghini has pulled the wraps off of its new Huracán EVO Spyder, and the car is looking pretty awesome. It features an electro-hydraulic, lightweight, soft top for open-air driving. The design of the top allows the car to be aerodynamic with the roof up or down.

One of the many sexy designs from Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign, the Maserati Boomerang was a concept that first broke cover in the early 1970s. It made its debut as a mockup back in 1971 at the Turin Motor Show, but later arrived as a fully functional, one-of-a-kind prototype during the 1972 Geneva Motor Show.

The current generation Corvette (aka the “C7”) has been around for about 5 years now. Chevrolet has new generation of Corvette in the works. We have seen an alleged prototype C8.R before, and a whole fleet of test mules showed up in Southern California last week.

Last year, Aston Martin teased its upcoming 003 hypercar in the form of a pencil drawing that didn’t reveal much. The british automaker is back with a new tease, and this time instead of a pencil drawing, we get a render of the rear of the car.

Easily one of the coolest things that has ever worn a Toyota Corolla badge was that Corolla iM drift car that we talked about back in 2017. That ordinary front-wheel-drive economy car had been turned into a rear-wheel drive 1000 horsepower tire burning machine for professional drift racing.

We are always on board for Mustangs with more power around here. Ford has turned in some documents to the NHTSA, which, among many other things, is the agency responsible for the government database of Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs).

I love it when new track cars come to market to battle the likes of the Ariel Atom, BAC Mono, and others. This is precisely what the American-made brand Vandal want to do with the Vandal One.

I’ve not been exactly quiet that I am less than happy with the reveal of the 2020 Toyota Supra. I find it not too attractive from many angles, and I think for the the money the car should have loads more power.

If you needed a few days to think about putting down the deposit on the just revealed Mazda MX-5 Miata 30th Anniversary edition, you are too late. Out of the 3,000 units being made globally, only 500 were coming to the States.

We may not be over the range anxiety portion of the acceptance scale for electric vehicles just yet. But we are over the performance barrier. With the earliest electric vehicles being things like the Nissan Leaf, car guys and gals feared the move to electricity would spell the end of the performance car.

The 2020 Ford Mustang GT500 looks awesome on paper, we all know it. A supercharged V8 with over 700 hp and quick-shifting flappy paddle gearbox? Yes, please. All we really want to know is when we can get it, how much it will cost, and how deep will dealers stick buyers with the “market adjustment” shank.
