What could I possibly say about this car that hasn’t already been said? The F40 is a Godfather of supercars. An ultimate expression of performance at all costs. The 2.9-liter turbocharged V8 redefining what a street-legal car was capable of. Then entire car was sculpted to maximize engine cooling and downforce, accentuated by the tall,Continue reading “Winged Car Wednesday: Ferrari F40”

Winged Car Wednesday – Koenigsegg Agera One:1
When a car weighs less than 3,000 lbs, but has over 1,300 hp, a massive wing is needed to help keep the rear-end planted; especially when surpassing speeds of 275 mph. And that is exactly what the ridiculous Koenigsegg Agera One:1 has – a giant rear wing. A nicely sculpted, very functional piece of engineering,Continue reading “Winged Car Wednesday – Koenigsegg Agera One:1”
Winged Car Wednesday – Noble M12
Last week we featured the Vector M12 for Winged Car Wednesday, so it is only fitting to feature the other big-winged M12 this week; the Noble M12.

Winged Car Wednesday – Lamborghini Countach

Power came from a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine that made a stout 400 hp. Other go fast bits included carbon ceramic brakes and a low curb weight aroundContinue reading “Winged Car Wednesday – Venturi 400 GT”
Find of the Day – The Last Pantera GT5-S?
The De Tomaso Pantera had a long run as a supercar. Although it evolved into different forms over the year, the car basically lasted form 1971 until 1992. One of the iterations along the way was the Pantera GT5-S. As seen here, it featured aggressive aerodynamic body work and massive rear tires to put everyoneContinue reading “Find of the Day – The Last Pantera GT5-S?”
Find of the Day – Bricklin SV-1
A true Canadian car, here is a pristine Bricklin SV-1 (which stood for safety vehicle-one) for sale. Less than 3,000 of these cars were built in the mid-1970s and were unique in many ways. Despite the wedge supercar profile, the SV-1 is actually a front-engine, rear-wheel drive car. One of two V8 engines were stuffedContinue reading “Find of the Day – Bricklin SV-1”
