Held once a year the the AutoClub Speedway outside LA, the Ultimate Lamborghini Experience promises an adrenaline-filled day at the track. Just ask the local wildlife.

The Pagani Zonda C12 7.3 Roadster is undoubtedly one of the most striking and desirable supercars on the planet. Most car enthusiasts would be willing to do just about anything to own one. However, even we are not sure if we would want a pink one, but one such example exists and it is going...

Alfa Romeo is banking on the 4C’s ability to seduce us like those posters of Audrey Hepburn from Roman Holiday in every sorority girl’s dorm room.

You’d think Lamborghini, masters of Italian seduction, would have the good sense to tease us a bit. Maybe don’t give us the goods so soon, and all that.

Before Alfa Romeo enters the US market, it will need to position itself as a volume manufacturer and do battle against the Germans from Audi and BMW. And what better way to build volume than to join the lucrative luxury SUV/Crossover market? Alfa Romeo, Fiat has admitted to a cadre of cranky investors, “needs significant...

Car companies just love facelifting their current products. It is a much cheaper way to get a few more years out of the current product, because developing an all-new vehicle is very expensive. Low volume car companies are even more likely to update current products rather than develop new ones, and Ferrari is no exception....

Whenever an automaker launches a new vehicle, a selection of staged photos is usually handed out to the auto journos present. Sure it’s a bit of a cop out to use the official press pics, but they’re almost always better than a few snaps by Joe Editor, plus by not having to worry about images...

Well, you can’t afford the real thing, and chances are, you can’t afford the replica either. We’d all like to get behind the wheel of a 1960 Ferrari 250 California Spyder SWB, but let’s face it – unless a magic lamp falls out of the sky to grant us three wishes, there’s no way we...

The term epic is overused these days for sure. This video is, however, Epic. Yea, that’s a capital E.

Maybe ‘epic’ is too strong a word. Or maybe its just overused these days. Either way, this three-minute glam spot for Lambo‘s newest supercar is worth a watch. There’s plenty of beauty shots of the Aventador, lots of action and even more CGI. If only every Avantador came equipped with an abandoned highway… GALLERY: Lamborghini...

Not all Ferraris can be bought as an investment. Exhibit one: the 550 Maranello. Costing over $200,000 when new, this 1997 model year car is currently listed at $79,500 on eBay – and it’s hardly your run-of-the-mill F-Car. No, this Ferrari was owned by none other than the man of the hour, Charlie Sheen. It’s...
