Just like alcohol, horsepower is intoxicating.  That’s why Bugatti bested its 1,001-hp Veyron with the 1,200-hp Super Sport.  That’s also why companies like Hennessey Performance stay in business.  Certain Ferrari 458 Spider owners out there feel that their prancing horse’s 562 ponies aren’t strong enough.  The Texas tuner is happy to pour them a shot […] More »

The clip at the end of this post blows my mind.  Not because it shows a factory-sealed McLaren P1.  Not because it means Jay Leno is getting another car.

Don’t let that orange paint, center-mounted V8 or those swoopy lines fool you.  The McLaren 12C can be used as an everyday car, according to evo’s editor Nick Trott.  He would know.  By the time the video at the bottom of this post went on Youtube, he’d driven the Mac for approximately 11,000 miles.

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 »

Isn’t it a pain when you have to borrow someone’s car?  You have to deal with that one window that doesn’t roll up, ignore that constant rattling sound and transfer all of your personal effects—such as your umbrella and CDs—to it. Something tells me evo magazine’s editor, Nick Trott, didn’t mind getting a McLaren 12C […] More »
