Is Lexus Working On A Million-Dollar Supercar?
The Lexus LFA is many things: technological triumph, exquisitely exclusive, incredibly expensive, in many ways oddly archaic, and an icon for the brand and its fans. It was also incredibly costly, took a decade to develop, and even at maximum production volume, won't see many garages--ever, even...

The new Ferrari 458 Spider has flipped its lid in Frankfurt and we have a fresh batch of live photos of the stunning supercar. As you’ll recall from our previous post, this convertible version of the 458 Italia gets an automated folding roof made from aluminum, which only takes 14 seconds to go up or down. Thanks to its innovative design, the 458 Spider only weighs around 111 pounds more than the berlinetta. Otherwise, the two cars are much the same, both coming powered by a high-revving 4.5-liter V-8 with 570 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. After you ogle the pics, click here...

2012 Mosler Raptor To Pack 650 HP, Just 2,500 LBS
The mixology for a seriously capable exotic is simple: take plenty of horsepower, add as much lightness as possible, give it a boutique name and a aerospace-inspired body and serve to anyone with $500,000 or so in their pocket. But even so, Mosler's newly announced Raptor is impressive. Packing...

Driving an exotic supercar like the Ferrari 599 GTO on public streets can often be difficult, thanks mostly to low ride heights, poor visibility and a throttle pedal that feels like you’re about to launch a scud missile with just inches of movement of your right foot. It also doesn’t help when even everyday parking maneuvers are recorded by onlookers, such as the video we have here of a 599 GTO owner in Cologne, Germany reversing his car. A momentary lapse of concentration sees the driver scrape the side of the rear bumper of his Ferrari 599 GTO on a nearby pole. Upon getting out...
