Manhart’s 718-horsepower BMW M2 will eat supercars for breakfast
If you're wondering what 718 horsepower would do for an M2, Manhart has you covered go through Brad Anderson 12 hours ago The BMW M2 is arguably the best sports car in the brand's current lineup, a worthy alternative to sports cars like the Porsche Cayman and Mercedes-AMG A45 S. Now, Manhart has made the M2 a car that won't let you down. Let Porsche and Mercedes die, but maybe scare some legitimate supercars. BMW's S58 twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine normally delivers 473 hp and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque, but thanks to a carbon fiber air intake, stainless steel exhaust with 200-cell catalytic converters , and either a Manhart MHtronik powerbox or a factory ECU remap, power has been boosted to 718 horsepower. Torque also jumps to 664 lb-ft (900 Nm).

Millions of supercars are piled up, including Ferrari LaFerrari,
A group of supercars crashed while driving on a winding mountain road. The total value of the four vehicles involved is millions of dollars. The cause of the costly accident is unknown. Details and facts on this are sparse, but we hope none of us will experience a day as disastrous as these drivers. The four of them managed to crash cars worth a combined millions of dollars. The cheapest vehicle in this rather unique bumper car game was estimated to be worth around $300,000 before it crashed, although the chances of it surviving unscathed are slim. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP") { adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); What we see in the photo is rough.

Ferrari has warned that loose propshaft screws could reduce traction, increasing the risk of a crash. When you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new supercar, you expect it to be absolutely perfect, without even the tiniest flaw. However, no car is immune to the occasional misstep, and Ferrari has just recalled several vehicles with driveshaft issues. In July, Ferrari received a report in Europe about loud driveshaft noise in the 296 GTS. It analyzed the supercar and determined that the problem was caused by the driveshaft screws not being tight enough. Ferrari then began an internal investigation of its production assembly lines to…

McLaren 750S is boring
Car and Driver It was recently reported that the 2024 McLaren 750S is the fastest rear-wheel drive car the journal has ever tested, beating the previous champion, the Ferrari 296GTB, in the 0-60 sprint. By the time you read this, the McLaren will have already hit 60 mph. If you need a quantitative description, it's 2.3 seconds, a tenth quicker than the Ferrari. In most other acceleration metrics, like the quarter-mile ET, the Ferrari is slightly quicker, while the 296GTB's electric assist shows its charm in the 30-50 and 50-70 overtaking passes.

2015 Audi R8 V10+
this Daily Selection It's a 2015 Audi R8 V10 plus listed on ClassicCars.com by a New York dealer. Every now and then, a car comes along that's not only interesting but also a perfect fit for a "Pick of the Day," and I've driven one and can tell you firsthand. Today's 2015 Audi R8 V10 plus is one of those cars. In fact, it's the same R8 I tested a few years ago, with the same Ice Silver Metallic paint, Carbon Sigma "sideblades," and 19-inch wheels. In 2015, when I was working as a freelance automotive journalist near Austin, Texas, I was assigned to ride in a press car (so long ago that I forgot what it was) when my then-girlfriend was coming over from out of state. A day or so before she was expected to fly in, the press fleet manager emailed me to let me know that the car would no longer be used. I told him…
Why Pagani thinks hybrid supercars are a waste of time
The company's founder said they had developed a hybrid V8 engine, but customers didn't want it. go through Brad Anderson 6 hours ago Due to its small size, Pagani cannot go against the wishes of its customers. The Utopia's 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine has been certified until 2031. The future of Pagani's powertrains over the next decade remains uncertain. In an era when more and more exotic carmakers are downsizing their engines and/or adopting electrification, Pagani has gone the other way with the Utopia, using a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine without any hybrid setup. According to Horacio Pagani, this is because his customers don't want hybrids. With the exception of the Gordon Murray T.50 and Koenigsegg Jesko, most of the cars currently competing in the supercar segment similar to the Utopia are hybrids. These cars include the Aston Martin Valkyrie and the new Bugatti Tourbillon, both of which use large-capacity naturally aspirated engines but are supplemented by electric motors. Some…

The limited-edition SF90 XX Stradale was introduced last year, marking the end of the series, while a successor should appear in the near future as prototypes have already been spotted testing on…

What makes a car a supercar? The term "supercar" refers to a high-performance sports car. It is sometimes used to refer to the fastest supercars. Ferrari explains this with some simple examples: "A supercar like the Ferrari 488 GTB can reach a top speed of 205 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds - impressive numbers, no doubt. But these numbers pale in comparison to a true supercar like the Ferrari LaFerrari, which can reach a top speed of 218 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds, surpassing even the most powerful supercars." Bugatti Tourbillon Bugatti is number one in the list of the best supercars. The French automaker, now owned by Rimac, produces some of the fastest cars in the world.
