Ferrari‘s F430 replacement gets dramatic looks – and serious amounts of power. The new 458 Italia. Will 562bhp do? It might look like the lovechild of an Enzo and a 599, but this could be the most significant new Ferrari for decades. It is called the Ferrari 458 Italia and, although it is the direct […]

It’s hard to think of a car that arrived with more hype than the R34 Nissan GT-R. By 1999 Nissan’s wonder-kid had ceased being the unknown Easterner capable of lapping the Nurburgring in eight minutes and was installed as a fully-functioning icon.

Some people won’t see the point in a stealth-spec Super Veloce, but this car looks pretty special to us. Know this about Lamborghinis – they are becoming very collectable. These 90s cars […]
