If McLaren Automotive is going to make big numbers (4,000 sales a year), it’s going to have to create a relatively small one. One with a power output lower than those of the 12C and 650S. Its next model, currently named P13, is expected to develop 500 horsepower from the now-familiar 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8.  The […] More »

I’ve never met him, but I’m pretty sure Christian von Koenigsegg is a cool guy.  He made his own supercar company and he’s been nice enough to allow /DRIVE full video access to his Swedish factory. His firm’s creations are another story.  Their numbers are absolutely red-hot.  Especially those of the One:1: 1,360 horsepower and […] More »

The only thing more super than a supercar is its next generation.  When Ferrari went from the 612 Scaglietti grand tourer to its successor, the FF, output jumped from a very healthy 533 horsepower to a bonkers 651.  If the speculation about the 2016 Nissan GT-R is to believed, the next iteration of the Japanese […] More »

As cat and dog breeders have done for years, Nissan has put a price on an animal.  Godzilla, to be exact. The ultimate Japanese track monster, the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo, will start at $149,990.  (Destination and handling charges will add on $1,595.)  Its VR38DETT 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V6 has been tuned to 600 horsepower and […] More »
