More News on the McLaren P13

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 »

One(:1) Very Powerful Koenigsegg Engine

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 »

Newsflash: The Ferrari 288 GTO is an Object of Desire

Newsflash: The Ferrari 288 GTO is an Object of Desire

Ferraris are definitely special cars, but those badged “GTO” are even more special.  Such prancing horses are powerful and only come around once in a while.  In fact, there have only been three: the 250, the 288 and the 599. Road & Track’s Sam Smith got a chance to drive the middle child from the […] More »

New Power Plants and Platform for the Next Porsche Panamera

It doesn’t matter if you love it or hate it.  The Porsche Panamera sedan is here to stay – at least for another generation. The next generation will come bearing gifts to sway all the haters out there: fresh V6 and V8 engines and aluminum/steel underpinnings. “Porsche will have its own new V8 that will […] More »

Autoblog’s Visit to the Lamborghini Museum

Autoblog’s Visit to the Lamborghini Museum

No offense, but Autoblog’s recent visit to the Lamborghini Museum at the company’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese make me wonder if they’re, “Working hard or hardly working?”  (Can’t you just feel the elbow in the ribs from a middle-management type?) Even though the crew was in Italy for a Lamborghini Huracan press conference, photographing two […] More »
