Bristol Fighter: Britain’s Forgotten V10 Supercar Returns
Some supercars become famous because they dominate posters, racetracks and auction rooms. Others become fascinating because almost nobody ever sees one. The Bristol Fighter belongs to the second group. Originally launched in the early 2000s, the Fighter combined a naturally aspirated 8.0-litre V10, rear-wheel drive, a six-speed manual gearbox and ...
Porsche 911 GT3 Bergsport: Built for the Roads That Shaped Porsche
Some special editions celebrate a racing victory. Others revive a historic colour. The Porsche 911 GT3 Bergsport celebrates something less tangible. A road. More precisely, a particular kind of road. The narrow, twisting mountain passes that cross the Alps between Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland. For Porsche, those roads are ...
Carlex G-Stallion: When a Mercedes G-Class Becomes a €3 Million Work of Art
The modern luxury-car industry has become extraordinarily good at perfection. Computer-controlled machining creates components measured in microns. Robotic painting produces flawless surfaces. Carbon fibre emerges from carefully controlled moulds with near-identical consistency. Digital manufacturing can reproduce the same object thousands of times with remarkable accuracy. The Carlex G-Stallion deliberately moves ...
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 ...
