When the Lamborghini Reventón launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, it epitomized the ambition of the marque’s Centro Stile division. Production of the Reventón was capped at 20 models and, in the spirit of the long-standing tradition at Lamborghini, it was named after a fighting bull, although its name also suitably translates as “small…

Manufactured between 2003 and 2010, their new supercar allowed Mercedes-Benz and its then-Formula One partner McLaren to showcase their collective experience in the development, construction and production of high-performance sports cars. The heart of any car is its engine, and that of the SLR McLaren is truly outstanding. Produced at Mercedes-Benz’s AMG performance division, it…

The run of 2016 Shelby Mustang GT-Hs for Hertz included 140 examples delivered into the rental fleet for allocation day-by-day to mere mortals, and then 16 of the “Executive Cars,” a name that to the Hertz Shelby enthusiast has a special aura. These 16 cars were not rented but were instead purchased by Hertz executives…

The late 2000s marked a period of rediscovery for Aston Martin, with new backing and bold ideas. After a decade-and-a-half under the leadership of Ford, the famous British marque was acquired by a consortium led by Prodrive’s Dave Richards in March 2007. The One-77 was revealed — partially covered, as a non-running prototype — at…

The MP4-12C was the first production road car developed entirely by McLaren, featuring a carbon-composite chassis and equipped with a 3.8-L twin-turbocharged V8 and Graziano 7-speed Seamless-Shift dual-clutch gearbox. This 2012 example is finished in the rare premium color of Mercury Red over a Carbon Black leather-and-Alcantara interior with red contrast stitching. It was optioned…

At the time this car was built, AMG was still an independent tuning company separate from Mercedes-Benz. This particular car was built by AMG North America in Westmont, IL, during an era when, infamously, “The only limitation on what could be done to your Mercedes-Benz was the size of your bank account.” It’s estimated that…

The Aventador was launched at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, replacing the ageing Murcièlago as Lamborghini’s flagship model. Designed by Filippo Perini, the new mid-engine coupe borrowed heavily from Lamborghini’s limited-edition Reventón and its Estoque concept car. One of its more striking features was the scissor doors — a 21st century supercar “must have.” The…

Few could have anticipated the imposing sight of a six-foot-tall, nearly three-ton, V12-powered, four-wheel-drive behemoth at the 1986 European Motor Show Brussels — much less one appearing on the Lamborghini stand. But then, Lamborghini was never one to follow convention, and rarely has this free-thinking approach been embodied more completely than with the company’s fantastically…

Already a collector’s item before it was launched, the Porsche 911 R was the marque’s gift to driving enthusiasts, an ultimate 911 with extraordinary performance that could be exploited on the road.
