New Lamborghini Huracán STO set to rival Porsche 911 GT3 RS

January 27, 2021January 27, 20211 min read

Lamborghini is to build a rival to Porsche’s 911 GT3 RS in the form of the Huracán Super Trofeo Omologata (STO for short), which as its name suggests takes the company’s one-make and GT3 race car technology and melds them into the most extreme Huracán road car Lamborghini has created.

Based on the rear drive Huracán Evo, the STO is an exercise in lightweight and aerodynamic engineering co-developed by the company’s R&D department, the Squada Corsa motorsport division and Lamborghini’s design department.

A focus on aerodynamics has resulted in the return of the ‘confango’ not seen since the Miura and the Sesto Elemento. It comprises the front bonnet, wings and bumper in a single clamshell design that hinges forward away from the car.

A $1.7 Million Roofless Wonder

January 27, 2021January 27, 20211 min read

Let’s get right to it: The 2021 McLaren Elva is really, truly, absolutely wonderful. I’m trying to recall a time I felt this smitten after driving a car. Porsche Speedster? Yeah, that’s the most recent one, the Speedster being as close to perfection as it gets. The new 2021 McLaren Elva tickles the same spot and goes a bit deeper. It might not be closer to perfection, but it sails down a different, more elemental branch of driving. It’s more eccentric, with more whimsy, more of a wag, and more mischief, and again, it’s just plain wonderful. Yes, the Elva stickers for $1.7 million (before options), and there’s neither a windshield, a roof, or windows. Did I mention the carbon-fiber plaything makes 804 hp and is—with the exception of the F1—the lightest production McLaren ever built?

Morgan 3 Wheeler P101 to mark end of production of eccentric sports car

January 26, 20211 min read

Morgan has revealed the limited-run 3 Wheeler P101, a take on the three-wheeled sports car celebrating its near-decade long production run. Featuring a handful of unique design tweaks to set it apart from the standard model, just 33 examples will be produced with prices starting at £45,000.

Named after the internal model code for the 3 Wheeler programme during development, production is scheduled to come to an end in 2021 when type approval for its S&S engine expires. Morgan has announced that it will make a return, but no details on the successor have been disclosed as of yet.

Unlike a standard 3 Wheeler, the P101 is intended for a single occupant only, with a composite resin tonneau covering the passenger side of the cockpit. This is finished in a natural translucent golden colour referencing materials found on

Mercedes Chairman Reveals More Details About the EQS’s Hyperscreen

January 26, 20211 min read

Ola Källenius took over as Daimler AG’s chairman of the board of management in 2019. His tenure has been marked by the launch of high-tech features within the company’s vehicles, the need to cut fixed costs, and a pandemic that could have easily thrown everything off course. In his first media roundtable of 2021, Källenius focused on the premiere of the massive MBUX Hyperscreen that constitutes the dashboard of the new 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS flagship electric vehicle. Mercedes largely designed the EQ vehicle family around the massive screen, and the digital services such a screen makes possible are seen as a vital revenue stream going forward.

After the Hyperscreen launches in the EQS, will it roll out across the lineup? The EQS will be the first on a fully dedicated, large luxury electric car. And that will be a family of at least four vehicles. All those four will

McLaren Artura name revealed – hybrid 570S successor detailed

January 25, 2021January 25, 20211 min read

McLaren has confirmed its new series-production hybrid supercar will be called Artura, breaking with the usual numerical naming convention which has been in use since McLaren Automotive’s first model, the MP4-12C. It’s also expected that the new McLaren Artura will be the next model to diverge from McLaren’s Sports and Super Series, after the GT’s break from the naming convention back in 2018.

The Artura will replace the current 570S in the first half of 2021, and sit between the current GT and 720S models, commanding a higher price tag and power figure than the current Sports Series cars.

The new High Performance Hybrid models will all feature McLaren’s new Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), which has been designed to be more adaptable than the outgoing MonoCell tub, allowing the company to produce a wider variety of models. As with the MonoCell, the new chassis will consist of the floor, side
