Holy mancats. Holy. Mancats. HOLY MANCATS. This, friends, is the thing of which all automotive dreams are made, the manifestation of every vision of pure, rolling sex you’ve ever had, digitized for your ocular pleasure. We didn’t think there would ever be an F-type we’d lust for more than the beautiful coupe, but this one—well, decisions like that are silly...
By now you’ve seen, drooled upon, and set your computer’s desktop wallpaper to pictures of Ferrari’s latest creation, the FF. (Get details and see the photos here.) In honor of Maranello’s first factory shooting brake, we present a brief look back at the coachbuilt Ferrari brakes of yore. 250 GT SWB “Breadvan” Gioto Bizzarini designed this humpback race car, referred...
From the fantasy files come these renderings of a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat shooting brake, whipped up by the same artist who dreamed up the heart-stopping Jaguar F-Type shooting brake a few months ago. And now that we’ve seen how the sensational Challenger Hellcat would look with a bit more back, we’re obsessed. First, let’s ponder the benefits of...
SKF recently destroyed 1 million euros worth of fake parts in Greece after court battle that started in 2009. And you thought handbags and sunglasses were the only knockoffs you might find in your neighbor’s house. Turns out, ball bearings are also quite popular. So popular, in fact, that manufacturer SKF recently destroyed 1 million euros (about...
DBC has applied its rust prevention technology to its plated brake calipers. This will help provide a better defence against Mother Nature, the company announced. The “calipers are premium quality, remanufactured calipers that function and fit like OE. A proprietary zinc electroplating process inhibits rust and provides all-weather protection against the elements,” DBC said in a news release. Furthermore, said...
It used to be that Classic Cars were always a good financial investment. Particularly if kept pristine and lovingly cared for. Today, however, that’s not necessarily the case and some older cars aren’t even worth what they were when they were originally on the market. Counting upkeep, it seems that often classic cars can’t always deliver financially the way they...
Sorry, Subie fans – despite the recent debut of the 2017 Impreza hatch, there is no WRX/STI 5-door quite yet. If you can make do with the sedan body style, both the WRX and the STI went under the knife for a minor refresh, available for the 2018 model year. Neither car gets any boost in power, remaining the same 268-hp...
It was in 2013 that Chevrolet tuner extraordinaire Callaway first previewed the design of a shooting brake based on the C7 Corvette. Since then, the company has been gauging market interest and further developing the design. On Friday, Callaway finally unveiled its Corvette shooting brake and confirmed the vehicle’s debut at the 2017 Michelin NCM Bash, the annual get-together at the National...
Blending a tasteful yet aggressive design with extraordinary performance, the M6 is a sexy beast indeed. Power comes from a 560-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 mated to a seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual. Offered as a coupe or convertible, one might not expect such brutish power in what is a comfortable and cosseting car, but that’s exactly why we like it...
The newest candidate for American supercar stardom now has a price, and it’s a remarkable one: $78,995 with delivery. If you’d prefer a convertible, it’ll start at $83,995. That’s just $121.53 per horsepower (or per pound-foot of torque). While it’s not the screaming power-per-dollar bargain of the 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat (a mere $84.85 per hp), the 2015 Corvette Z06 is...
