Matte Purple Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Spotted [video]
Last month we drooled over the matte blue Porsche Panamera that Platinum Motorsports had built, but this matte-purple Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG just isn’t doing it for us. That’s not to say we hate it. We definitely give it points for being original – especially on such a unique car. The video appears to have been…
Lamborghini Estoque Back Under Consideration
With sales of its models slumping so far this year Lamborghini is reconsidering expanding its range of models, which could mean the Estoque concept is back on the drawing board.

GM’s Mid-Engined Corvette Plans Confirmed by Saab Engineer
It appears as though rumors that the Corvette will go mid-engined may in fact be true. In a recent interview with a trade magazine one of Saab’s top engineers broke the news, revealing that his team had developed a dual-clutch transmission for a, “mid-engined version of the Corvette.” There’s no word on how many gears…

Twin-Turbo Ferrari F430 Spider from Underground Racing Throws Down 1,000-hp [video]
Sometimes it’s hard not to be jealous at those lucky enough to own exotics from Ferrari or Lamborghini. It’s natural, we understand.

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…

Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 Goes Chrome in Support of Laureus Sport for Good Foundation

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. Set several weeks ago, that time tops the Ferrari 599XX’s best of 6:58 in the somewhat irrelevant category of production-based cars.

UK Man Charges $10,000 For Month-Long “Supercar Bath” Detailing Job
Gurcharn Sahota details cars. Although the term “detail” is used loosely in this case. What’s the most you’ve ever paid someone for a detail? $200? $300? Maybe $1,000, if you’ve got an Aston Martin DB4GT that you’re entering in a Concours event? Well, if you take advantage of Sahota’s services, be prepared to spend up…
