1995 McLaren F1 to Hit the Block at Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach Auction
Fifteen years old is a rough age for a car. Most cars are just about bottomed out in terms of value around this age, even such “normal” supercars as the Ferrari F50, First-gen Zonda, and Lamborghini Diablo, all of which can be had for around half of their original asking prices. But what about the…

The SR-71 Mustang, a legendary collaboration between Ford gurus Jack Roush and Carroll Shelby will sold for a gag-inducing $375,000.

Porsche GT3 Piloted By Jeff Swart Makes Epic Run Up Pikes Peak

The 918 Spyder, able to get 78 mpg while hitting 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, is expected to cost $630,000 by the time it hits the streets.

Pagani Zonda R’s 6:47 Nurburgring Lap Time [Video]
Pagani has just released a complete video documenting the Zonda R’s outrageously fast 6:47 Nürburgring lap time.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-SV, Audi R8 Go Pink – And Not for a Good Cause
Pink is popping up everywhere lately – especially with high-end automobiles. Why you would spend so much money on a car and then paint it like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol is beyond us, but hey, it’s your money and if you’ve got it, you might as well spend it on making your ride look like…
London Parking Authorities Give ‘the Boot’ to Matching Turquoise Supercars
Most of the time, we hate when supercar owners block multiple parking spots, or park illegally just because they drive a car that’s worth more than most houses. We know a door ding can be a $10,000 repair on these cars, but people should still park them legally like everyone else. Here, a visiting middle-eastern…
