Alfa Romeo's 4C mid-engine coupe is a beautiful Italian two-seater straight from the factory. But design house Mole Automotive thought they could improve on the cars looks — and they did, with flying colors. The completely new bodywork wraps the 4C's carbon fiber tub with sculpted lines that give the car a much more aggressive look, akin to the Giulia sedan. While this is a one-off, hopefully, Alfa Romeo takes notice for the 4C's next styling update.
Designed as the ultimate road car, the McLaren F1 still puts up impressive numbers 25 years after its debut. Even though it was made for the street, the F1 took home an overall victory in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. This McLaren F1 was delivered in stock configuration in 1998. But instead of taking it home, the first owner kept the car at McLaren's shop in Woking, having all upgrades performed at the factory — and there are some substantial upgrades. The V12 was upgraded to the LM-spec used by the racing F1's, making 680 horsepower. The bodywork was changed to the Extra High Downforce package with orange metallic paint. With only 3,700 miles on the odometer, this McLaren F1 is the best of the best.
On the heels of the DB11 AMR, Aston Martin has announced the Rapide sedan will be getting an AMR version of its own. The Rapide's 6-liter V12 gets a 28 horsepower increase, bringing output to 580 horsepower and 456 lb-ft of torque, good for a 0-62 sprint of 4.2 seconds and 205 MPH top speed. 21-inch wheels surround carbon ceramic brakes and the suspension has been lowered 10mm with more aggressive settings to the active damper system. The lime-on-green livery is limited to 210 units worldwide, with deliveries beginning in late 2018.
The Speedster name has a long history with Porsche, from the 356 convertible to a send-off of the current-generation 911 before a new platform is released. This time, the Speedster has been revived as a 911-based concept for Porsche's 70th anniversary. A 500 horsepower 4.0-liter flat six from the 911 GT3 is wrapped in Carrera 4 bodywork, with details like a fuel cap in the center of the hood, vintage-styled mirrors, and two-tone paint that harken back to the 356. While it might be a concept, this Speedster is road ready, and don't be surprised to see it offered in the near future.
Porsche is by far the most successful marquee to run at the storied 24 Hours of Le Mans. With 19 overall victories, no other manufacturer comes close to touching Porsche's dominance at the Circuit de la Sarthe. While the prototype 919 was retired for 2018, the 911 RSR will be taking the field, with two in special throwback liveries. First is the iconic "Pink Pig" livery, worn by the 1971 917/20, a one-off car with special bodywork. The porcine looks led to the pink color with dashed lines representing butcher's cuts. The second is the Rothman's livery, a mainstay on Porsche race cars since the early '80s. The blue, gold, red, and white paint has graced everything from the Paris-Dakar 959 to Le Mans entries. Watch both cars in action June 16, 2018.
Novitec is expanding their lineup of sports- and supercar upgrades to Maserati's Ghibli sedan. The base Ghibli isn't exactly a slouch, but Novitec's engine ECU can boost output to 494 horsepower — enough for a 4.4 second 0-60 run and a top speed of 183 MPH. Going that fast requires good aerodynamics, and Novitec has that covered as well. A set of exposed carbon fiber front and rear spoilers and side skirts keep air flowing cleanly. A set of suspension upgrades, an exclusive 22-inch wheel design, and even an active exhaust sound modification allow you get the most out of your Ghibli sedan.
The first update to the track car in three years, the 2018 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 Race Car takes advantage of advances in the base car while adding some of its own. The engine has been moved down and back for improved weight distribution and a lower center of gravity. The suspension's been redesigned for improved dynamics and rigidity, the brakes strengthened for better durability and reliability, and a new air conditioning option added for added comfort during endurance events. Deliveries of the FIA GT3-conforming racer will commence early next year.
Inspired by water — the River Rhine in particular — the Oris Source of Life Watch is a special version of the Aquis diver. Most notable on its deep blue face is the circular date scale and the white indicator that takes month-long laps around the dial to show the date. Its 43.5mm stainless steel case is enhanced by a gray tungsten bezel insert and a backplate embossed with a map of the Rhine. It's finished with either a stainless steel metal bracelet or gray rubber strap, and is limited to just 2,343 pieces to reflect the height above sea level of Lai da Tuma, the source of the Rhine.

The fire-breathing Dodge Demon is no more. One of the most powerful muscle cars ever has finished its one year run and is racing into the history books. The Demon's slightly-less-powerful sibling, the Hellcat, is alive and well. The only thing we know for sure is that the Hellcat is getting a new twin-scoop hood, shown here in these teasers images, and the supercharged, 707 horsepower HEMI V8 will be returning. Expect more information later in 2018 as the 2019 model year Hellcat gets closer to launch.
Aston Martin's DB11 grand tourer is getting a range-topping AMR model for 2019. The twin-turbo V12 gets a 30 horsepower increase, bringing the total to 630 and pushing the top speed to 208 mph. Subtle chassis refinements sharpen the handling without compromising the car's grand touring characteristics, and an active exhaust system addresses one of the few complaints about the DB11 — a less than inspiring exhaust note. A limited edition DB11 AMR with Stirling Green and lime livery will be constrained to 100 units worldwide alongside the standard model. Already one of the best GTs available, the DB11 AMR raises a high bar even further.
Based on the 488 GTB and vaguely inspired by the iconic F40, the Ferrari SP38 Sports Car is a spectacular one-off. It retains the 488's chassis, twin-turbo, twin-intercooler V8, and suspension, but has all-new bodywork with less-pronounced — or altogether hidden — air intakes, a slim bumper lip that recalls the 308 GTB, a new engine cover with three slats for heat dissipation, and an integrated rear spoiler, the latter two directly influenced by the F40. It's finished with custom carbon fiber trim and a special three-layer metallic red paint job.
Slotting in between the standard GT and the track-oriented C, the Mercedes-AMG GT S Roadster is the latest open-air sports car from Affalterbach. Its handcrafted, biturbo, 4.0L V8 engine produces 515 hp, good for a 0-60 sprint of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph. All that power is sent to the wheels via a seven-speed Speedshift DCT transmission and is kept in check by five selectable drive modes, electronically-controlled suspension, and composite brakes. Inside, Nappa leather, Dinamica microfiber, and other high-end materials keep you comfy even at breakneck speeds.
Inspired by the 1998 V8 Vantage V600, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage V600 Sports Car is a love letter to naturally aspirated power. Its 6.0L V12 produces the same 600 hp as the original, paired with a seven-speed manual transmission and front and rear dual independent wishbone suspension. Dubbed the "Triple V" for its previous-generation "VH" underpinnings, its carbon fiber exterior is available in both coupe and roadster guises, and production is limited to just seven examples of each.
In 1993, Ayrton Senna was the best driver in the world. That season would be the three-time World Champion's last with McLaren before moving to Williams in 1994, and the McLaren MP4/8 would prove to be underpowered and a mid-tier car — except in the hands of the master. Senna took his record sixth Monaco Grand Prix in the MP4/8A shown here, putting an exclamation point on his ability to drive a car far above what it was thought to be capable of. With the same chassis, engine, and transmission from the Monaco Grand Prix, this is one of the most historically significant F1 cars ever, driven by one of the best drivers in the sport.
Provenance can be everything when a car comes up for auction — and this 2018 Lamborghini Huracan has provenance like no other. While it isn't the Popemobile, this Huracan is resplendent in its white-and-gold paint scheme and bears the signature of His Holiness himself. And even better, all proceeds from the auction will go to the Vatican for charity — a fitting end for the fastest ride a Pope has ever had.
Mercedes is launching the new AMG GT 63 S with a spare-no-expense Edition 1 package. The Edition 1 is available only on the range-topping GT 63 S model and adds the active AMG Aerodynamics Package to the standard all-wheel-drive and 630-horsepower, twin-turbo V8. Exterior touches include black accents on the 21-inch wheels and black stripes on the side sills, hood, roof, and trunk lid, and the choice of one exterior color — Graphite Grey. The interior has yellow seat belts, contrast stitching, and Edition 1 plates throughout. The Edition 1 will be available for one year only starting in early 2019.
A good pillow can be the difference between a night of restful sleep and a literal pain in the neck. The team at Casper knows this and designed a pillow that provides comfort and support regardless of your sleeping position. They've invented a unique pillow-in-pillow with a firm inner core and a soft outer shell. Thanks to the even fill distribution of silky fibers, the pillow won't lose its shape. It's also finished with breathable percale cotton to keep airflow moving and your pillow cool. It's even machine washable. Take advantage of the 100-night trial, and if you don't love it, Casper will give you a free refund.

The 993 was the last of the air-cooled 911s — and many people will tell you it's the best 911 to come out of Stuttgart. Gunther Werks takes the 993 and creates what is essentially a GT3 RS, boosting the four-liter flat six to 400 horsepower. Gunther Werks widens the front track and adds custom carbon fiber bodywork throughout the car, most notably the aggressive, widebody fenders over the rear wheels. The 400R might be the ultimate expression of the last air-cooled 911, and only 25 will be made, making for a limited opportunity to get your hands on one of the best 911s around.
Australian Sir Jack Brabham was a three-time F1 World Champion and founder of the Brabham racing team that won two constructor's titles in the 1980s. Now Brabham is back, with a car that would make Sir Jack proud. The BT62 is an all-new, track-only supercar that boasts serious performance numbers. A naturally-aspirated 5.4-liter mid-mounted V8 makes 700 horsepower and 492lb-ft of torque and sits in a carbon fiber chassis wrapped in gorgeous aerodynamic bodywork. Only 70 will be made and the first 35 will come in the same green and gold color scheme as the car SIr Jack drove to victory at the 1966 French Grand Prix.
Jaguar is taking aim at the BMW 3-series with its new XE and XF 300 Sport editions. Already top-notch sports sedans in base trim the 300 Sport package takes both models a step further in performance. Jaguar's 296 horsepower, 2.0-liter Ingenium turbocharged four-cylinder is under the bonnet, driving all four wheels from 0-60 run in 5.4 seconds. Both the XE and XF models get exclusive Dark Grey Satin exterior elements and 19- or 20-inch wheels, with yellow contrast stitching and 300 Sport badging in the interior. Available to order now, expect the 300 Sport to arrive in dealers Summer 2018.
Just because you're wealthy doesn't mean you have taste. McLaren's new 570S Spider Design Editions are meant to aid their clients in decision-making. Five different examples are available, each deliberately curated by McLaren Automotive designers to ensure that the colors, materials, and finishes are complementary and harmonious. That means moving beyond straightforward black editions and creating design options for white, gray, red, and blue, as well. The package adds between $11,000 and $15,000 to the cost of the vehicle, but given the base price, it's a small amount to pay for the difference between potentially tacky and timeless.
Since the 1972 3.0 CSL, the M division has taken BMW's coupes and sedans to the next level of performance. The 2019 M2 Competition builds on the previous M2 Coupe, with subtle styling updates and bigger changes under the sheet metal. The twin-turbo inline-six from the M3 and M4 now sits in the engine bay, good for 405 horsepower and 406 lbs-ft of torque. That's good for 0-60 in 4.2 seconds with the six-speed manual and four even with the dual-clutch paddle shift. An optional Driver's package raises the top speed to 174 MPH from the base 155. Expect to see it this summer, with a premium over the base model's $54,500 starting price.
When spending over $3 million on a car, you expect outstanding service. The Bugatti Flying Doctors provide that and more. Thanks to a tiny box hidden within the Chiron, they can receive telemetry data from your car in real-time — a feature normally reserved for Formula One or DTM racing cars. The system watches over 10,000 signals that cover everything from the engine to the infotainment system and alerts your Doctor if something's amiss. Typical maintenance can be handled via phone or at one of the 34 dealers and service partners worldwide, but if necessary, the Flying Doctor can order any necessary parts and catch the next plane to fix your vehicle in person. The company has three Flying Doctors responsible for Europe/Russia, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific, and North America, respectively, and all three are available round-the-clock, giving you peace of mind that your 1,500 hp baby will stay in top shape.
It's the end of an era for the Chrysler. The last Viper rolled off the production line in 2017 and Dodge's factory drag racer Challenger Demon has reached the end as well. The last of two of the wildest production cars ever made in car-crazy America are coming across the block together at Barrett-Jackson's auction in Uncasville, Connecticut. That's a grand total of 1,485 horsepower, along with a Demon Crate filled with narrow front drag tires, tools, and ECU modules for the Demon. All proceeds go to the United Way, making this historic pair of cars worth every penny when the hammer drops.
Chevrolet's pony car has a refresh for the 2019 model with a host of changes that run more than skin deep. The front and rear have been updated for better airflow and aerodynamics, reducing drag and lift at each end. The SS model gets its own design, with a wide-open front grille and a new 10-speed, paddle-shift automatic transmission. But the biggest news might be the base model. The Turbo 1LE package has GM's 275-horsepower, 2.0-liter four and a six-speed manual, along with the track-ready suspension improvements from the V6 1LE. Pricing is yet to announced, with deliveries expected later in 2018.
The Swiss Army Knife of sports cars. That is the Porsche 911 — from road to track to dirt, there isn't a surface the 911 hasn't dominated on. Rally-style 911 Safaris are a growing trend in the 911 scene, and this Guards Red 1983 Porsche 911SC is as good as they come. A 2.5" lift makes room for the 16" Braid rally wheels and all-terrain tires and gives it a perfect stance. The 3.0 flat-six has been completely rebuilt with skid plates protecting the vulnerable bits underneath, making this street-legal 911 ready for whatever you can throw at it.
Building on the success of the Coupé version — which now accounts for 10% orders — the McLaren 570S Spider Track Pack Sports Car gives open-air enthusiasts a circuit-ready option. Its 3.8-litre, 570 hp twin-turbocharged V8 is the same as the standard model, but it weighs over 70 pounds less, thanks in part to carbon fiber racing seats, a carbon black Alcantara steering wheel, and carbon fiber interior trim. More weight is lost thanks to the stealthy 10-Spoke Forged Alloy Wheels, and McLaren Track Telemetry gives you race-worthy stats like lap times and post-drive analysis. It's finished with a throatier sports exhaust and a higher rear spoiler that gives it additional downforce for holding those corners.
The Mercedes C-Class recently received an extensive update, and now the performance AMG models have arrived. Available as a coupe or cabriolet, the new AMG C43 is powered by a 385-horsepower twin-turbo V6, 9-speed transmission, and all-wheel drive, good for a 0-60 run of 4.5 seconds for the fixed-head version. Inside, the cockpit is dominated by a flat-bottomed GT-style steering wheel with a touchscreen display, putting every control at your fingertips. The "entry-level" AMG C43 will debut at the 2018 New York Auto Show.
Specs have yet to be released, but at least we know what name Volkswagen's given to its latest Pikes Peak International Hill Climb entry. The Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak Race Car is a four-wheel-drive, all-electric vehicle with swooping, aerodynamic lines and an oversized rear wing. While we still don't know its horsepower or top speed, we do know it's aiming to set a new record in the electric prototype class, currently set at 8:57 for the 12.4-mile sprint from 9,000 feet to the summit at 14,115 feet above sea level.
Nothing captures 1980s back-to-the-future styling like this Renault Alpine GTA. A direct descendant of the Alpine A310, the GTA retained the rear-engine layout common to Alpine's previous models, and the body shape featured a slippery 0.28 drag coefficient — still impressive in today's sports car world. This 1985 GTA V6 shows just over 17,000 miles on the odometer and comes with a host of original Renault parts, something that can be hard to find this side of the Atlantic.
Among the upper echelon of autos, specs don't mean much. They're all fast, all well-equipped, and all insanely expansive. Thus, aesthetics matter. Which makes the McLaren 570GT MSO Black Collection all the more alluring. Its exterior is done in MSO Bespoke Carbon Black paint and joined by a black exhaust, black wheels, and black brake calipers. The interior is similarly dark, with Carbon Black Alcantara accents and a black ignition key. Limited to 100 examples.
