Ordered by McLaren Newport Beach, US market’s largest McLaren retailer, the 10 McLaren MSO X models have been delivered to their buyers in Las Vegas. Created by McLaren Special Operations unit to emulate the spirit of the 570S GT4 race car, the X bunch come with liveries inspired by McLaren F1 GTR race car of the 90s. Now, normally it would be really uncool to have your car painted in motorsport liveries if you don’t want to use it exclusively on the race track. But in the case of the McLaren MSO X that’s alright because of the prestigious badge of the car. Granted, you still have to explain to people what those graphics on the exterior mean and by which legendary endurance racer they are inspired. But the buyers of the X are going to get plenty of admiring nods from car geeks on the street. Besides the racing look, McLaren MSO X models also get a GT4-based get a pylon-mounted rear wing with nearly 100kg of extra downforce, functional ‘goose neck’ carbon fibre roof snorkel borrowed from the F1 LongTail, front dive planes, an MSO Titanium Super Sports Exhaust, Pirelli P ZERO CORSA tyres and a 570S GT4-style bonnet with specially constructed air intake. Another highlight of the , ...ادامه مطلب

Living where there are four seasons means that sometimes the cars we own or collect need to sit for a while. Your sports car or convertible should not be your first choice for snowy or icy roads, especially if you live somewhere where they use salt to de-ice the roads, something that can damage your baby if you are not careful. However, improper storage can do nearly as much damage as driving it can, sometimes even more. As a general rule, you should think of storage as a special way to treat your car. You should store it like you drive it. Keep It Covered This covers a couple of different things. When considering putting up your car for the season, the key is finding car storage facilities in your area that have the things you need to keep your car protected the way it should be. Coverage: even if the storage area is inside, put a cover on your car, one that will protect it from dust but has a lining or is made of material that will not cause micro scratches in the paint or clear coat. Climate Controlled: If you can, find a storage place that is climate controlled. Temperature can have a big impact on vehicle storage. Electricity: If possible, you will want to have access to el, ...ادامه مطلب

Whenever you tu on the news these days, all you hear is war and chaos and silly tweets by politicians. It makes you think the world is on the verge of collapse, and it very well may be. But that is only a matter of conce for us regulars, you see. The top one percent mind it not one bit, as seen by the spike in the number of hypercars they bought this year. Bugatti alone has delivered 70 Chirons, meeting their production plans as though they are making family sedans!  As the ultimate production super sports car, Bugatti Chiron is a must-have accessory for the billionaires the world over. We are prepare to bet next year’s salary not one of them ever uses the full potential of the 1,500 horsepower machine, but that is not the point of this car. The real purpose of the Chiron is to make you look good as pull up at your favorite restaurant or casino or gala event. Bugatti is in fact on its way to make a killing with the Chiron series, setting themselves the goal of selling 500 units, 300 of which has already been marked. That is about 1.5 billion dollars worth. [embedded content] As for who’s buying these Chirons and where, 43 percent of orders have come from Europe, 26 per, ...ادامه مطلب

Don’t like the new 2019 Mercedes CLS? Want to see it butchered in by Photoshop? Well then you’ve come to the right place! Maybe butchered is not a fair word to use here, seeing as the shooting brake and coupe variants are looking pretty good. But you will agree the CLS pickup and that CLS 63 AMG depicted here are kind of horrendous.  This is not to say that artist has done a bad job. Not at all. Technically, these renderings are top works. It’s just the idea of a Mercedes CLS pickup truck that is revolting and doesn’t make any sense. The same goes for the CLS 63 AMG which, as you may know, is not going to happen. Anf hallelujah to that, if it were going to look like this. The next AMG CLS will be called CLS 53 and it’s a hybrid. So chances are AMG designer will steer clear of their usual tricks and come up with some new elements. Now for the eye candies… Let’s begin with the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake which is a nice thing to look at on account of its sexy sloping roof. Granted, the front-end is still controversial, but at least with the Shooting Brake one does not have to look at the hideous back end featured on the standard CLS. As for the two-door and convertible model, ...ادامه مطلب

The dust has not yet settled on the stage where a couple of days ago Lamborghini unveiled the new Urus SUV, but already we get to know what the car would look like in other guises. Here’s a speculative rendering of a very much possible Lamborghini Urus Performante, featuring aggressive aero parts and larger wheels.  It is a look, we must say, that fits the Urus pretty well. The SUV has received numerous merciless kickings since the hour it was revealed, some of them from pretty high up people in the auto world. Chris Harris, for instance, said on his Instagram the Urus looks like a Q7 whacked with a hammer. Perhaps a Lamborghini Urus Performante would appeal to such critics as it wo, ...ادامه مطلب

The Italian Formula One Grand Prix came and went this past weekend and a Brit in a German car won it. That is probably because Ferrari drivers were off goofing around in an Alfa Romeo Giulia QV (Quadrifoglio).  We kid, of course. The trio, including Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi, were doing sister company Alfa Romeo a favor by taking the QV around the track for a frie, ...ادامه مطلب

All the evidence suggest that the new 2018 Nissan LEAF is shaping up to be a much better car than its predecessor.
