Supercars

Italian automaker Pagani has only produced two main models in its 30-year history: the Zonda and the Huayra. Now, genius auto designer Horatio Pagani is showing off his latest creation, the Utopia. This gorgeous, multimillion-dollar car is powered by a bespoke Mercedes-AMG V12 with twin turbochargers, making an impressive 852 horsepower and 809 lb-ft.

I kind of consider the 1990s my “lost decade” – I didn’t really care for mainstream music, movies, or cars during most of that period. Sure, there were some outliers like Radiohead, The Matrix, and the Nissan Skyline, but for the most part, I didn’t really connect with pop culture.

Famed Italian design firm and coachbuilder Pininfarina has revealed a few images of the first of its custom commissioned Battista electric hypercar. The car is carbon fiber on the outside with the blue color courtesy of weaving in Iconica Blu Thread with the carbon fiber.

Tuning firm Novitec has announced its latest customized supercar. The vehicle started as the already impressive Ferrari F8 Tributo before being massaged into something even more exclusive. The car is the limited edition Novitec N-Largo, and the company will produce only 15 of them.

When it comes to iconic and rare sports cars, McLaren has several under its belt. Now the UK automaker has sneakily launched a new supercar called the McLaren Sabre. The vehicle was designed and homologated specifically for the United States, and only 15 units will be made.

AMC (American Motors Corporation) is best remembered for its strange, quirky and oddly loveable 1970s cars like the Gremlin and the Pacer. But it also made some sportier cars, like the Javelin and its muscular cousin, the AMX.

There are few more annoying things when you’re driving a sports car with low ground clearance than encountering a speed bump. I speak from personal experience, having scraped the lowest plastic diffuser on my Jaguar F-TYPE countless times over the nasty bumps in my Chicago neighborhood.

These days, you can find spoilers on everything from a McLaren 720S to a Toyota Camry TRD. These rear wings can be simply decorative, or add a significant amount of downforce. Many supercars even feature active spoilers which can raise or lower depending on their speed, but I’ve never seen an active wing that’s quite as amazing as the one on the Zenvo TSR-S.

Ferrari is planning to unveil a new hybrid supercar, and we don’t have to wait long for it, with the reveal planned for tomorrow, May 29. The teaser image and video posted to their Facebook page give us a wireframe glimpse at the front end of the car, which appears to have a dramatically sculpted, trapezoidal hood design.

I’m often jealous of the guys over at Motor Trend. I’d love to be able to drive the sweet cars they get their hands on all day long. At least that’s what they do in my imaging of the job.

The Brabham BT62 is the latest track-only hypercar to hit the automotive market. The car is most certainly aimed at the wealthy gearhound wanting something unique to shame Ferrari owners with at their local track day.

This is one of the coolest videos that has turned up for car guys and gals in a while. This compilation was captured at the Nürburgring, and shows off a variety of prototype cars being tested around the famed German circuit.

Back when Bugatti went belly up in the mid-90s, a group of former workers bought all the leftover bits and used them to build a car called the Edonis. A car maker called Casil Motors will be making a limited run of 15 copies of the SP-110 Edonis Fenice.

McLaren has finally gone official with the 720S Super Series and the car looks epic. There’s a 4.0L twin turbo V8 under the swoopy bodywork that makes 710 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, and sounds simply fantastic.

Ford is offering up new some performance details on the 2017 Ford GT, and is comparing the car to some of the the performance heavyweights out there. The company says that the active aero systems of the car give it an incredible top speed of 216 mph, the highest speed of any Ford production vehicle ever.
