Now this Jaguar, sent in to us by the guys over at DriveArabia.com just sits in the Ibn Batuta mall, plastered in ads for the Mooyah burger chain. Someone clearly loved it once, as they've installed the exposed headlamps from the XJ220S model, but now it sits, kicked out of its own home, trying to fend for itself in…
Well, it was we as community of enthusiasts that killed it. Too many people cried foul and they heard that the "new NSX" as dubbed by the media (Honda never called it that) was going to be the successor to the Honda sportscar. The fact that it had its engine in the front seemed to irk people the most. Nevermind…
Personally, I believe it has more to do about where the car is designed and built rather than what investment company has the rights to the nameplate. In the case of the EB110, it was designed and built in Italy by Bugatti Automobili, therefore, it's Italian. The original Bugatti company although founded in what…
holy mirror stalks! Those things are long.
It's still doesn't make sense on so many fronts:
What I'm saying is that there is really no criteria and that they really AREN'T distinct. The words "supercar" and "hypercar" are more synomyms used to describe the same thing: A high-performance sportscar. Just because Car A goes faster than Car B doesn't mean that they are two totally different classification of…
Not sure, but I'd bet that McLaren would have since added a retroactive upgrade.
The Bugatti nameplate has been bought and sold so many times that it's hard to call it French, Italian, or German. Originally, Ettore Bugatti himself is of Italian-descent born in Milan. He founded the company in 1909 in Molsheim which was a German territory and then became part of France after WWI.

They are probably the younger crowd. Personally, I didn't see this video until the early-'00s. Here in the US , most people have yet to hear of Top Gear or Clarkson at the time this video would have been released so we wouldn't have known about it really. Back in those days there was no youtube or torrenting. The…
It's just a term that he came up with to make himself sound clever. There is no real distinctions or qualifications that separate "supercars" or "hypercars" from any other sportscar. They are just words.
So much nostalgia. As much as I hate Top Gear and Clarkson these days, I still remember a time when I had a respect for him and didn't think that he was purposefully making himself to be a fool for the purpose of entertaining low-brows with goofy antics and even dumber annecdotes.
For me, the song is what makes it awesome. It gets me pumped for the show like a 7-year-old me would punch and kick shit during the opening of the MMPR.
I was relieved that used the song from the first intro of the anime.
Honestly, people care about cover art way too much.
Too many people complaining that it had the engine in the front and therefore not a real successor for the NSX.
My vote goes to the 2008-2009 Lexus LF-A (notice the hyphen) racecars. Toyota decided that they didn't want to wait for the roadcar to officially debut before they could race it. Though the cars did not finish the 24hr N-ring race, they finished first in 4hr qualifying races for its class. If the press is to be…
