Supercar Car reviews

Chevrolet Corvette has a very long history of pacing the Indy 500 race. It started in 1978 and 2022 will mark its nineteenth time on the job and its sixth consecutive year. This year, the pace car will be based on the 2023 Corvette Z06 and will be driven by former Indycar Series driver and team owner Sarah Fisher.

Ford is not at its first special edition paying tribute to the GT’s landmark moments in motorsports history. In fact, the new GT Holman Moody Heritage Edition is the ninth - and last - in a series of special cars, out of which two are still in production. It all started in 2006 with the unveiling of the 2006 GT Gulf Livery Heritage Edition, and continued until 2022 when Ford already unveiled the GT Alan Mann Heritage Edition and the GT ’64 Prototype Heritage Edition.

Did you ever ask yourself what a 2035 sports car will look like? If you didn’t, don’t worry, you are not the only one. The French maker Alpine wanted to know how people imagine a car like that, so it challenged the students from Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) to come up with a design for it.

The result - a hydrogen-powered, two-seater supercar named "A4810", and it uses next-generation technologies.

Launched in 2019 as a convertible version of the F8 Tributo, the Ferrari F8 Spider is a car that needs no presentation. And, if you ask us, a car that needs no performance or exterior upgrades either. Mansory’s latest creation, however, proves us wrong.

The tuner is offering a "soft kit" for the F8 Spider that will completely change the look of the supercar. It includes design updates, a new set of wheels, and, of course, performance upgrades.

Pagani launched the Huayra back in 2011. After all the 100 examples were sold out, the company followed it with four more limited-production Huayra models - Roadster, BC, Roadster BC, and the Imola. To commemorate the original Huayra’s 10th anniversary, Pagani introduced a special edition a few months back called the Pacchetto Tempesta. It is based on the Huayra BC and comes with aero and performance upgrades. For those of you wondering what ‘Pacchetto Tempesta’ means, it is Italian for ‘Storm Pack’.

McLaren has followed up on the 765LT by introducing a drop-top version called the 765LT Spider. The 765LT came out as the range-topping model in the company’s Super Series family. It shared its DNA with the 720S, but made more power, came with an aero-focused body, and featured a lot of carbon fiber components. The 765LT Spider is a convertible version of this beast and is limited to 765 examples, just like the standard coupe. It will start at a shade under $400,000.

The late 1990s saw many epic homologation specials. One of them was the Mercedes CLK GTR, which was a road-going version that allowed Mercedes to race in the LeMans and FIA GT1 class. The car had a couple of road-going versions, including a CLK GTR roadster, but the final evolution is considered to be the Mercedes CLK GTR Super Sport, which introduced a new, more powerful engine.

ATS RR Turbo Carbon Series is an even more extreme variant from ATS, the Italian manufacturer best known for its RR Turbo Club Sport track car and GT road sports car.

There is no dearth of high-end electric supercars and hypercars today. The paradigm shift to electrification has led us to witness some beautiful cars like the Rimac Nevera, the Pininfarina Battista, and even the Lotus Evija. The latest entrant to this list is from Italy called the Estrema Fulminea. The Fulminea isn’t just a smart-looking car; it is strong on performance, too. It can sprint from 0-200 mph in under 10 seconds and makes over 2,000 horses! Does it have your attention?

Ferrari launched the F8 Tributo as the 488 GTB’s successor in 2019. It came with the 488 Pista’s drivetrain and underpinnings, but slot itself as an entry-level supercar, unlike the track-ready model. German aftermarket company Novitec quickly snapped the 2020 model year of the F8 Tributo and came out with its own iteration of it, which consisted of a body kit, new wheels, an engine tune-up, etc. Seeing the popularity, Novitec came up with one for the 2021 F8 Tributo as well.

Now, the company has come another version of the 2021 F8 Tributo called the F8 N-Largo. This limited-edition model comes with a new set of wheels, an engine upgrade, and a widebody kit.

When Ferrari launched the Roma back in 2019 we were impressed by its looks. The small front-engined, 2+2 grand tourer based on the Portofino looked like no other Ferrari in the lineup and was ready to take on the competition. If you ask us, the Roma is a supercar that needs no improvement. But of course, there are people out there who do not agree. This is the case with the German tuner DMC who now only improved the looks of the Roma, but also found a way to put more power under the hood.

Having a plethora of pixel artists that showcase their visions of future cars is tremendous. This is especially true for classic cars that need to have a modern-day successor. The 1970-1977 Alfa Romeo Montreal is one of those cars and recently, the YouTube channel, NewCarDesign has given us a rendering of what a new model could look like.

Nissan just showcased the new 2021 GT-R “T-spec”. Godzilla will now be available in two iconic body colors along with a range of upgraded features.

Ferrari’s Icona series expands from a two-piece to a trio with the debut of the Daytona SP3. The mid-engined supercar with a ’Targa’ top that revives the glory of the triple from the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona in a current car, was presented at Mugello. With the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine the Daytona SP3 hides the DNA of the LaFerrari under its stunning carbon fiber bodywork.
