| Spyker Is Bankrupt, Will Return to Normal When Electric Planes Fly—Or Never |
Dec 8th, 2014 |
|
Spyker, the vehemently unconventional Dutch builder of vision-distorting supercars (and hater of plastic switchgear), is bankrupt. Actually, it filed for bankruptcy a month ago but didn’t want to tell anyone until this past week. Call it just another sideshow for CEO Victor Muller, the former mergers and acquisitions lawyer turned car designer who has spearheaded some of the […]

Dec 7th, 2014 |
|
After inspecting a record-breaking number of British cars on Friday at the eighth annual Arse Freeze-a-Palooza 24 Hours of LeMons, we were a bit disappointed on Saturday to find that the highest-placing British machine at the end of the first day’s race session was in 74th place (out of 174 entries). Still, we’ve seen plenty […]

Dec 5th, 2014 |
|
We’ve all seen optimistic “project cars” listed for sale online—worthless, rundown husks whose owners still believe there’s value hidden somewhere between the rust and the missing parts. That’s why you need to read this eBay listing for a BMW Isetta “for parts or EZ* restoration!” in Evanston, Illinois. It will restore your chuckling faith in internet car […]

| Targalicious Ferrari Sergio Delivered to First Customer in Abu Dhabi |
Dec 5th, 2014 |
|
All Ferraris are special, but some are special-er than others. Making its first public appearance at the Ferrari World Challenge in Abu Dhabi is one such extraspecial cavallino: the first of six Ferrari Sergios to be built from the proverbial rib of the spearlike, windshield-less Ferrari Sergio concept car that was first shown in 2013 […]

| 2015 GMC Yukon Denali Tested: Big Money Brute in a Cheap Suit |
Dec 5th, 2014 |
|
We simply cannot talk about the GMC Yukon Denali without getting the sticker-shock vapors out of the way. Gaze upon the $74,720 figure on our tester’s Monroney, then huff smelling salts like a teenage Dee Dee Ramone left alone with a tube of Testors’ finest cement. That is a rather eye-watering sum for a descendant […]

| Supercar Subdivisions: McLaren’s “Special Operations” Division Details its Services |
Dec 5th, 2014 |
|
McLaren’s so-called “Special Operations” (MSO) branch has been doing cool stuff for years, even back when the division was known as the McLaren Customer Care Program and tasked only with maintaining McLaren owners’ F1s in the 1990s (which inherently qualifies as “cool stuff”). These days, MSO offers everything from carbon-fiber aero kits to completely rebodied […]
