to call the new Koenigsegg Agera One:1 a supercar is an insult and calling it a hypercar is really a gross understatement, because it is the world’s first production car to achieve one megawatt of power (1,341 hp) and touts a power-to-weight ratio of one-to-one (that’s a kg to a hp), which effectively makes it a megacar.
i still fondly remember the days when the B16A engine-fitted EG Civic hits the street. it was a sleek, compact hatch with some 160 horses on the tap that makes any boy racer dream come through and with that, it also marked the beginning of the race for power among low capacity Japanese imports.
we seriously think today’s ‘household’ name hot hatches lack the punch and the ‘punch’ we are talking is not 100 or 200 horses machines, we are talking about something with a lot more oomph. something like, say, over 300 PS? a dream you said? well, not exactly because that’s what the Vauxhall Astra VXR EXTREME…
when it comes to automobile, getting the best of both worlds would mean having performance and the practicality of space. while many exotic cars out there offers sub-5 second performance, practicality such as the ability to ferry more than two persons, or carry a boot load of groceries or even some IKEA furniture, is the least in their…
many exotic, supercars have dropped their tops, which is a sign that there is a market for topless beauties on wheels. we have seen Ferrari did it (notable recent example would be the California T) and so has Lamborghini. that said, it is a wonder why Nissan hasn’t toyed with the idea of…
you know how tree-hugging, avid motoring enthusiasts have been through all this while? constantly being torn between performance and yet being eco-conscious at the same time? that sucks. we understand and apparently, the das auto folks totally understand this point and decided it is time to add another Golf to the family – the Golf GTE.
come this March, Brit automaker Aston Martin has a couple of special edition rides for motoring enthusiasts to drool over at the Geneva Motor Show. the 101-year-old company will be unveiling the V8 Vantage N430, along with the “dramatic” DB9 Carbon and Carbon White editions.
McLaren said the ‘S’ in its newly announced McLaren 650S stands for ‘Sport’, which is kind of redundant to a McLaren especially when this new sexy beast coming from the British motorsport specialist has 650PS (641 hp) under the hood.
dropping the top, doesn’t mean three is a crowd. with the Ferrari California T, it can drop its top while still have a 2+ configuration, well… the back might be a little overly cozy, but they are still seats, aren’t they? and it surely beats having none at all. exhilaration must be shared. no?
Audi must have been busy with the firm’s archives, digging out past glorious vehicle and creating new iterations for them, and the Audi S1 is yet another that pays homage the WRC-winning Audi S1 of the 80s. we are not complaining – in fact, it looks so awesome both on the outside and under…
the year 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the first Audi Avant RS2, the ride that kicked start Audi’s RS line, and the German automaker has a special limited edition tourer, dubbed the Audi RS4 Avant Nogaro,paying homage to the modern classic.
