Perfect car in the perfect setting, Ferrari F12tdf in Monaco
Jul 23, 2017, 1:37 PM It is arguably one of the finest V12 cars Ferrari has made in the past 20 years. After the final Testarossa (F512M) was produced in Maranello, the Ferraris were somewhat modest qua styling. And in my opinion that included the standard F12berlinetta, until the F12tdf was introduced. The F12tdf is the ultimate expression of the concept of an extreme road car that is equally at home on the track, and is exciting to look at from every single angle.

Spotted: Most extreme Centenario so far!
Jul 22, 2017, 5:42 PM After the Centenario was spotted in France, the United Kingdom and the USA, we now have a first spot of this extreme car in The Netherlands. Not everybody will agree about the yellow/black exterior color choices, but one thing is for sure: this is the most extreme Centenario so far! Spotters "hardstyler" and "carspots_official" were the lucky spotters capturing this Centenario today.

Is the Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet really that impressive?
Jul 22, 2017, 2:21 PM When this car was launched it was received with a lot of skepticism. The world's most expensive SUV made its world debut at the 2017 Geneva auto show and only 99 copies will be made. Middle Eastern customers will most likely buy the majority of the production, especially since the car will not be sold in the Americas. The price tag is €630,000 (about $666,400) and that is about €400,000 more compared to the G500 4x4², the most expensive G-Class currently on offer. The question: Is it that impressive?

2018 BMW i8 Parts Review: Enhanced Performance & Style
Jul 20, 2017, 1:37 PM Few would argue that the BMW i8 leads the pack of hybrid sports cars. However, the engineers in Munich and Leipzig know the competition is fierce and it's only a matter of time before it's neck and neck; with Audi, Tesla, Volkswagen and numerous other automakers vying for valuable market-share. Therefore, it's no surprise there are many major upgrades in both performance as well as convenience to the i8, which is set for release next spring.

The new Ford GT is a driving computer
Jul 19, 2017, 4:44 PM The Ford GT features more than 25 computing systems. They gather the data provided by the sensors or microprocessors to analyze the information of the car. More than 10-million lines of computer code, or 300MB of data is being processed every second. There are 50 sensors that gather information about the performance of the car, the driver position and the external environment. And all these sensors combined produce a whopping 100GB of data every single hour. In other words, the new GT is a driving computer!

Ferrari 812 Superfast surprises London
Jul 18, 2017, 3:14 PM Here it finally is! The first "customer ordered" Ferrari 812 Superfast. We have seen the camouflaged test cars and a factory car in Monaco, but now we have a spot of the car that was delivered to the dealer in London in the Ferrari red finish. Yes, we are still big fans of the F12tdf and like many, we still have to warm up for the 812 Superfast. But we are happy to see the first spot of this car and hope that many will follow soon!

Spotted: The one and only black Maserati MC12
Jul 17, 2017, 5:55 PM We have known about this car for many years and it has changed hands over its existence. It was sold back in 2015 for $1.57 million at Mecum Auctions and then it became very quiet, until this week when it was spotted by the Kartographer in Beverly Hills, California. Of the 50 MC12s produced, this is the only one that was finished in Metallic Black. Even after 12 years this car continues to amaze us.

Gran Turismo Polonia 2017: back to the roots
Jul 17, 2017, 11:25 AM At its rather humble beginning back in 2005, Gran Turismo Polonia was meant to be a low-key meeting for a bunch of friends simply willing to enjoy some racetrack driving. Over the years, it gained loads of popularity to become by far the greatest trackday event in this part of Europe and a headliner for the entire series of Gran Turismo Events. Now, how about the 2017 edition? To make a long story short: it was the best of both worlds.

McLaren 720S looks stunning in red!
Jul 13, 2017, 2:39 PM It is truly amazing how many copies of the McLaren 720S have been spotted all around the world, especially when we compare it to Ferrari and how slow their production and the deliveries have been of the F12berlinetta successor, the 812 Superfast. It looks like McLaren is doing all the right things and setting new benchmarks for the exotic car industry. The red finish on the McLaren 720S looks stunning, as is the the performance of this car.
