The Rimac Nevera set an acceleration record of 0-100 km/h in 1.85 seconds. It set a kilometre time of 19.32 seconds. It became the fastest-accelerating production car ever tested by multiple independent organisations. It also had software issues, regulatory problems, and a production process that challenged even the most experienced manufacturers. The Nevera beat everything, […]
The hypercar is the most extreme category of road car. These are machines that exist at the absolute frontier of what engineering and regulatory frameworks permit on public roads – cars that cost millions of dollars, that produce power figures previously the preserve of racing machinery, and that push the boundaries of aerodynamics, materials science, […]
In 2013, three manufacturers released their ultimate road cars simultaneously. McLaren brought the P1. Ferrari produced the LaFerrari. Porsche launched the 918 Spyder. The cars arrived within months of each other, each representing the absolute summit of what their manufacturer could achieve, each using hybrid technology to exceed what pure combustion had previously delivered. Together, […]
The Bugatti Tourbillon was announced in 2024 as the successor to the Chiron family and the beginning of a new chapter for Bugatti. Where the Chiron used a quad-turbocharged W16 engine to produce 1,500 horsepower, the Tourbillon takes a completely different path: a naturally aspirated 8.3-litre V16 paired with three electric motors for a combined […]
On the 4th of May 1916, Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in Renazzo di Cento, Italy. One hundred years later, Lamborghini chose to mark the occasion by building the most powerful, most extreme production Lamborghini the company had ever made: the Centenario. Forty units were produced – twenty coupes and twenty roadsters – each priced at […]
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is the car that Aston Martin built with Adrian Newey – the most celebrated aerodynamicist in Formula One history. It is the result of applying Formula One aerodynamic thinking to a road car without the usual constraints: no minimum ride height, no regulatory floor height, no racing category rules. The result […]
The Koenigsegg Gemera is the car that Koenigsegg built when it decided that hypercars should have four seats. The result is a 1,700 horsepower four-seater with almost zero direct emissions that can reach 100 km/h in 1.9 seconds. It is also, in the Koenigsegg tradition, a piece of engineering that operates on completely different assumptions […]
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport costs approximately $5 million in Australia. It is one of only 100 units produced, it has a claimed top speed beyond 440 km/h, and it uses the same 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine as the standard Chiron but with 221 kW more power. The question of whether it is worth $5 […]
The Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is one of the rarest and most expensive cars in the world. Only two were built. The defining feature of the Trevita is its exterior finish: a carbon fibre weave that has been coated with a diamond dust-infused resin, creating a surface that appears to shimmer under light. It is not […]
The Koenigsegg Agera RS set a two-way average speed of 277.9 mph (447.2 km/h) on a closed public highway in Nevada in November 2017. The run made it the fastest production car ever recorded at the time, breaking the previous record held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. For Koenigsegg, it was the moment that […]
