Porsche 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring: A Love Letter to the Green Hell
There are many ways to celebrate a racetrack. Set a lap record. Win a race. Recreate a famous livery. Porsche has chosen something more personal. The 911 GT3 100 Jahre Nürburgring has been created to celebrate the centenary of one of the most demanding and influential circuits in automotive history ...
Gordon Murray S1: The V12 Manual Supercar Built for the Open Road
There is a particular kind of performance car that has almost disappeared. Not the hypercar built around maximum downforce. Not the hybrid machine designed to destroy acceleration records. This is not the track special that becomes exhausting after an hour on the road. The Gordon Murray S1 follows another philosophy ...
BRABUS BODO Cabriolet: 1,000 HP of Open-Top Grand Touring
There are convertibles designed around elegance. Others around performance. The BRABUS BODO Cabriolet attempts to combine both at a scale few modern automobiles dare to explore. Long. Wide. Low. Powered by a 1,000-horsepower twin-turbocharged V12. Wrapped in a completely bespoke carbon-fibre body. And limited to just 77 examples worldwide. Yet ...
Spyker C8 Preliator XXV: The Return of the Analogue Dutch Supercar
Some automotive comebacks begin with nostalgia. Others begin with technology. Spyker has chosen something far more characteristic. Craftsmanship. The new C8 Preliator XXV Coupé marks the return of one of Europe's most eccentric and fascinating supercar manufacturers, but it does so without abandoning the qualities that made Spyker distinctive in ...
Koenigsegg CCGT1: The Race Car That Finally Got Its Second Chance
Some racing cars become legends because they win. Others become legends because they never had the chance. The Koenigsegg CCGT belongs firmly to the latter category. Developed in the mid-2000s as the Swedish manufacturer's first serious attempt at GT1 competition, the original CCGT was light, naturally aspirated and extraordinarily promising ...
Porsche Flachbau RS: The 911 GT2 RS Reimagined in the Spirit of Moby Dick
Some Porsche projects celebrate heritage through colour. Others through badges. The Porsche Flachbau RS goes far deeper. Created as a one-off through the marque's Sonderwunsch programme, this extraordinary 911 begins with a virtually new 991.2-generation 911 GT2 RS with Weissach Package and transforms it into a modern interpretation of one ...
Lamborghini Revuelto SV: The Super Veloce Legacy Enters the Hybrid Era
For more than half a century, two letters have carried a very particular meaning at Lamborghini. SV. Super Veloce. Not simply faster. Lighter. Sharper. More focused. More extreme. From the Miura SV to the Diablo SV, Murciélago LP 670-4 SV and Aventador SV, the badge has traditionally marked the moment ...
Czinger 21C Spyder: The 1,250 HP Open-Top Hypercar Engineered Like a Fighter Jet
Most convertibles begin with compromise. Remove the roof and structural rigidity becomes harder to maintain. Aerodynamic efficiency suffers. Weight increases. High-speed stability becomes more difficult to manage. The Czinger 21C Spyder approaches the problem differently. Rather than transforming an existing hypercar into a softer open-top derivative, the Los Angeles manufacturer ...
Gunther Werks GXR-Evo: The Ultimate Air-Cooled 993 Track Machine
More power is not always the answer. Gunther Werks knows this particularly well. The California specialist has already demonstrated what happens when the air-cooled Porsche 911 formula is pushed into four-figure territory. Its extraordinary F-26 produces more than 1,000 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged flat-six. For its latest creation, however, Gunther ...
Aston Martin Valen: The 850 PS V12 Supercar Redefining the Front-Engine Formula
There is something almost defiant about the Aston Martin Valen. At a moment when the highest levels of automotive performance are increasingly dominated by electrification, enormous battery outputs and increasingly complex hybrid systems, Aston Martin has created its latest limited-production flagship around something far more traditional. A V12. Mounted in ...
