Alfa Romeo 4C

Following a rather lengthy tease, the production version of the Alfa Romeo 4C has officially made its debut! Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C is a curvy little thing packing plenty in the performance arena. The new 4C should make the U.S. infiltration decidedly smoother.

 Behold: the production version of the Alfa Romeo 4C

The production version is quite close to the concept 4C, with a white exterior and carbon fiber trim. The carbon fiber of the central tunnel is visible, like it is with the new Lamborghini Veneno. read more

2016 BMW M8

BMW has announced intentions to unleash a new supercar in a few years. Check out renderings of the 2016 BMW M8 (name and year subject to change, of course)! The brand wants to create a supercar to celebrate its excitement for its upcoming centenary celebrations. Turning 100 years old is a big deal, thus it requires a vehicle that will switch gears from the norm and turn heads!

The next-gen M8 was previously thought to be an M1, though new details suggest that BMW will place an 8 on it. This is a huge hint that they will load it up with carbon fiber like the BMW i8, along with an impressive amount of muscle. The differences between the i8 and M8 will be clear, as the i8 is a hybrid and the M8 will boast a standard twin-turbocharged V8 engine ripping out 600 stallions. read more

Pagani is not in the business of crafting luxury sedans!

Pagani is indulging in a shameless tease, and we are left waiting to discover if they can deliver with their next supercar endeavor

Pagani is asking the masses to decipher the clues in the video teaser and make an educated guess as to what the next model shall be. In order to do that, let’s take into consideration the two types of Pagani supercars available: the Zonda and the Huayra.

Bugatti Concept

This amazing Bugatti concept gives the Polish a few cool points to compensate for decades of jokes at their expense! It is called the Bugatti Gangloff and Polish designer Pawel Czyzewski created it.

The Bugatti Gangloff concept will remain the coolest thing we never see!

The Bugatti Gangloff concept is a mashup of the 1938 Type 57 and the modern Veyron. The sleek coupe could use a bit more tweaking with the headlamps to squash the insect look, but overall it is a stunner. The design elements blend surprisingly well, with the interior reflecting the modern Bugatti Veyron. read more

A Bugatti Concept That Actually Changes Gears

Bugatti has maintained the same general appearance for ages. Many carmakers take this approach, and while it does work, sometimes change is refreshing. The amazing Veyron was born thanks to the intervention of Volkswagen, and now French designer Marc Devauze is taking a trip down memory lane with the Bugatti TypeZero concept.

The TypeZero resembles the Type 35 of the 1920s, which was the brand’s most successful racer.

Dubbed the Bugatti TypeZero, it is a blend of some of its racing predecessors with a touch of the modern. The result is a single-seater bullet with racing suspension. The modern twist lies in the dramatic lines and the electric capacity, as it is fitted with 2 batteries and 4 motors! Where did they put all of that hardware? read more

Lurking under the sleek hood is an advanced Lexus hybrid drive system pushing out 500 horses. That is quite a bang from a battery pack! The svelte hybrid goes way heavy on lightweight carbon fiber, yet the overall appearance is aggressive and agile. A high-energy battery pack paired with an efficient Atkinson cycle combustion engine create the guts for this model, which is the most powerful Lexus hybrid to date.

Can Aston Martin Add Variety to the Lineup?

Aston Martin

When one sees an Aston Martin on the street, there is certainly no mistaking the badge. This overall consistency has led to a bit of brand blandness, however, as consumers prefer variety when investing in an exotic car. Can Aston Martin add variety to the lineup and attract new clients? That is the plan, according to the rumor mill!

Can Aston Martin overcome this identity crisis and create a well-rounded fleet to choose from?

Anyone lacking a functional knowledge of exotic cars can easily point out an Aston Martin. The problem lies in the fact that even car connoisseurs sometimes need a few minutes to distinguish a DB9 from a DBS, or a Vantage from a Virage. I think you are picking up what I am putting down at this juncture! They all look the same, like starter homes lining a cul de sac. read more
