A quick little history lesson here. It’s been almost 30 years since the last time Ferrari dug into their forced induction parts bin and pulled out their scrollers (the F40 in 1987). We’d seen the official teasers of a front-engined one off, but here we have all the combined rumors in its full glory. The […] More »

One of these days, I’ll have to sit down and make a flow chart of BMW’s bizarre naming schema. Really, when they started segmenting everything out, it wasn’t too difficult to grasp. Quite simple, really. Even numbers would denote two door coupes (2, 4, 6 Series) and odd numbers would denote four door saloons (1, […] More »

And my verdict is… they can keep it, though considering they have plans to import this Canadian built sports car to the U.S, perhaps a well-backed deportation petition could be a better suited move. I apologize in advance, I hate being mean. It gives me a searing pain at the bottom of my lungs and […] More »

Here’s an awesomely aggressive first glimpse at a real live Lamborghini Huracán LP610 in the wild. In the short clip, we see the Huracán dart out of a corner, break its tires loose, and let loose down a public road as a camera truck gives chase. Supposedly, this is one of (if not the absolute) […] More »
