The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 were designed as a tribute to the past, but also as a way to fill a gap in the market. Both are roofless speedsters with no windshields and no windows. Comfort wasn’t exactly a priority when Ferrari designed these two vehicles, but whatever they lack in everyday usability, they […]

First things first. No, the Huracán is not named after a particularly strong wind.  That’s Maserati’s trademark protocol.  Think Mistral, Merak, Shamal, Bora, et al. Lamborghini, for reasons that really should be fairly obvious, has long been in the habit of naming its supercars after legendary fighting bulls, and the Huracán takes its name from […]

We’ve all been there, haven’t we?  That tricky point where we know we want to buy a Ferrari Testarossa but, because we just don’t have the necessary information and knowledge to hand, we’re forced to back away from the ‘Ferrari Testarossa For Sale’ signs.  So frustrating. Don’t worry, we’re here to help. This feature aims […]

The McLaren 570S and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ are two different answers to the same question. They’re both mid-range supercars, although using the words ‘mid’ and ‘supercar’ in the same sentence is always a bit strange, they’re both fast and they both look spectacular in orange. There are similarities, but there are also a few […]

Everything is cyclical. Fashion is cyclical, and trends are cyclical, even when it comes to luxury. For a very long time, the world’s wealthiest were mostly only looking for ultra-modern, ultra-luxurious vessels. The bigger the better, and they wanted tenders and helipads and spas on board and cinemas. Some are still looking for those things, […]

Ferrari’s buyers do a lot more with their cars than people think. For every collector that buys one, parks it in an air-conditioned garage and puts zero miles under its belt, there’s another that actually drives his Ferrari.  Like other equivalent automakers, Ferrari has complex, structured and well-organized one-make racing competitions for its customers, chief […]

When Ferrari unveiled the F40, the company probably had no idea this would go on to become what we now call a ‘flagship’ model. The automaker simply wanted to make a great car. Ten years later, Ferrari unveiled the F50, which was then followed by the Enzo and the LaFerrari. Four cars, four decades and […]

Hollywood’s finest screenwriters would have a hard time writing a better story than that of Bugatti. Bugatti was founded by an Italian designer in a German-speaking part of France.  It was then sold to a Spanish company before being sold to a German company, and eventually a Croatian company. And you can tell, because Bugatti […]

Buying supercars in the secondary market is a minefield. There are things to consider and things to avoid. The list is potentially very long, but without being too specific, let’s have a look at some of the things worth bearing in mind when buying a supercar. Mileage and maintenance Some people in some segments of […]

The words undervalued and underrated are often misused in the car world, mostly because these things are all relative. That is to say, it completely depends on the car, but also on the amount of zeros in the buyer’s bank account. Still, it is true that some cars have a market value that seems a […]

The pursuit of speed has always captivated us, especially when it comes to automobiles. We often measure a car’s worth by its top speed, but is it truly the only metric that matters? While the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ currently holds the title of the world’s fastest car with a blistering 304 mph, the […]

Automakers love creating street-legal versions of race cars, but the only thing they love even more is creating track-focused, or in some cases track-only, variants of their road cars. They’ve all done it at some point, and it’s a huge deal when they do.  This is because brands like Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari – just […]

Lamborghini has used a few different engines throughout its history but the V12 is the one that people – rightfully so, dare we say – tend to identify with the brand. The first Lamborghini model ever created, the 350GT, had a V12 in it, and you can still buy V12 Lambos today. Interestingly, even though […]
