McLaren F1 – World’s Fastest Car

How the McLaren F1 Became the World’s Fastest Car

In the 1990’s, everyone knew about and loved the McLaren F1. Why? Because it was the most insane car ever, at the time.

It all started when the F1 hit a speed of 231 mph in 1993 at the Nardo Ring in Italy. This rate of speed was unheard of at the time and it blew everyone away. However, in 1998, McLaren upped the ante.

With Le Man driver Andy Wallace behind the wheel of an F1 and the instruction to “go fast,” he ripped down Volkswagen’s 5.4-mile straight at Ehra-Lessien proving grounds. After a few tries and some white knuckles, he managed to hit a speed of 391 kmh. After averaging out the top speed of multiple runs, McLaren recorded an average top speed of 240.1 mph. This top speed would make it the fastest production car of its time and cement the model in automotive history.

McLaren has just uploaded a video that shows just how this record was set, with commentary from Wallace himself. Check it out by clicking play below.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS – Ultimate 911

If you like going fast without forced induction, Porsche has a car for you. Every year we see naturally aspirated engines fall by the wayside as turbochargers become more popular. Even the base model 911 could not resist the urge for boost. But many enthusiasts have cried foul after driving the latest examples of turbocharged cars. So Porsche engineers decided to push engine design beyond what we thought possible. Six cylinders that only displace 4.0 liters are making 500 hp. The 911 GT3 RS is the polar opposite of the 911 Turbo S. Both are in the same price range and offer incredible acceleration, but that is where the similarities end.

Doug DeMuro knows a thing or two about the brand, as he was head of allocations for Porsche North America. If you haven’t had a chance to experience a new GT3 RS in person you might not understand how or why Stuttgart put such effort into going against the grain. From the reverse pattern shifter to carbon fiber body panels, any aspect that hurt performance was revised. We had an orange example downstairs for most of 2016 along with a Turbo S Cabriolet, and guess which one stopped people in their tracks? Allow Doug to explain the finer points and check out the listings from our dealers below.

2018 Bentley Continental Supersports

Often times we are asked: “Of all the cars you have driven, which one would you choose for a daily driver?” My response is always the Bentley Continental Supersports. The response often causes people to remember the short lived model and wonder why I love it. Bentley have been building the Continental in roughly the same shape and configuration since 2003. Comfortable and classy, the easily recognizable design won’t provoke the same reactions as a flashy supercar. A Continental is a polite and unassuming way to pay a little more for a much better automobile.

Starting on the inside, every surface or control is substantial. Machined metal and hand stitched leather are not only built to last, they are relaxing after a long day. The coupe is a real hardtop with no pillar between the front windows and the quarter glass. Federal side impact and rollover standard have nearly eliminated this body style because it requires much more reinforcement in the quarter panels and doors. With all four windows down, it almost feels like a convertible. If you are looking for a drop-top the GTC is worthy of consideration.

Back to why I would daily drive a Bentley: Supersports. Built from 2009 to 2013, the ultimate sleeper delivers 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque….Sent to a Torsen center differential, the AWD beast launches with the force of an ACME rocket. Built before turbos handed over all their functions to computers, brake-boosting the Bentley results in a jump to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. Acceleration out of the hole is one thing, but even from a rolling start above legal speeds it will scare you. Built in limited numbers, they originally had an MSRP close to $300,000. Many have wondered why the model was discontinued, but it will be making a return in the near future.

Bentley has released the specs and images of the 2018 Continental Supersports, and it is almost unbelievable. Turbo technology has made great advances since 2013, so the new W12 engine produces 700 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque. Zero to sixty has been shaved to 3.4 seconds as long as you have race fuel (above 98 octane) and sticky tires. Extensive use of carbon fiber has trimmed around 200 lbs of weight from the body, so the gross vehicle rating of only 6,063 lbs. But if you don’t want to wait for the new model, our dealers have amazing deals on the first generation cars. Stay with us for all your Bentley news and check out the listings in the link below.

Skiing and Snowboarding Behind a Lamborghini

When the snow comes down, sometimes it’s hard to take your Lamborghini out. You know, with the roads being all slippery and visibility being low, it can be a drag. But, that didn’t stop TheStradman from having what looks like one heck of a good time.

(Also Check Out – Snowboarding on Sand Dunes With A Mini Race Car)

Upon the mountains, TheStradman attached a rope to his ski storage that’s mounted onto his Lamborghini Gallardo. He and his friends then got behind the Italian supercar on skiis, tubes and a snowboard, and were pulled down the mountain. They even took some time to build a jump that they could launch off of.

Am I jealous? For sure. But being in Florida, snow is hard to come by.

Koenigsegg Regera Super Car

Bordeaux Koenigsegg Regera is a Tall Glass of Wine

Koenigsegg has started a new series of Facebook posts that shows how their employees would customize their own Regera hypercar. The second Regera in this series was created by Johan B., Koenigsegg’s Sales Director for Continental Europe and Nordic countries.

(Purple Koenigsegg Regera Pays Homage to Prince)

For Johan’s Regera, he chose for the exterior to don a Bordeaux-tinted carbon fiber finish. This deep red carbon fiber exterior is separated by a naked carbon fiber stripe running down the center, as well as gold leaf striping. The Facebook post for this car notes: “Johan has French roots and the deep red finish will be like driving around in a glass of fine French red wine (with no blood-alcohol content, of course!!).”

Inside, this Regera has a creamy interior made of a cappuccino/coffee color combination. So, on the outside you have a deep exterior that resembles a glass of wine, while the interior resembles a cup of coffee. Are you thirsty yet?

Snowball Rally 2017

The road less traveled… Snowball Rally 2017

Let’s face it, exotic and luxury car rallies are nothing new. The announcement of another rally may run the risk of becoming white noise in the already crowded automotive industry.

Snowball Rally is here to completely change the game.

Snowball Rally is the first winter driven exotic and luxury car rally. Yes, that’s right – winter driven. Imagine those pristine Lamborghini’s and McLaren’s you see on Instagram sitting idle, now take them out of the safety of their climate-controlled garages and mount them with snow tires.

Participants will be traveling in the dead of winter through some the most severe winter climates the United States has to offer. The rally begins in snowy Lake Tahoe, then makes a quick stop in Las Vegas. Things will surely get interesting as the rally heads to Park City, Utah where drivers arrive in the middle of the Sundance Film Festival. The next day sees participants heading further east to Aspen, Colorado.

If this doesn’t sound extreme enough, Snowball Rally also rented the Aspen Motorsports Park, where its drivers will get to experience a snow-covered race track over two days, each day ending at the ESPN Winter X-Games!

The uniqueness of Snowball Rally doesn’t stop there. The participant list is as exceptional as the event itself. You can’t just write a check and show up – this rally is invite only. The list of participants includes YouTube heavy hitters with over 1.6 million combined subscribers.

Snowball Rally has joined forces with some of the most influential social media alumni and automotive industry leaders, turning this exclusive event into a full force media powerhouse. Snowball Rally will surely be blowing up your news feed come January 2017.

This is the Final Hennessey Venom GT

Well, it’s official: the last Hennessey Venom GT car has been produced.

In a press release from Hennessey Performance, they announced that production of the American supercar has concluded. The final example of the car is dubbed as the “Final Edition”  and is finished in a gorgeous “Glacier Blue” paint with white stripes running down the center.

You read that correctly, the Venom F5 will be revealed later this year.

In the meantime, here is a breakdown from the press release of the achievements that the Venom GT has made over the year.

Arabian Blue 2017 Rolls-Royce

Stunning Arabian Blue 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith For Sale

With every waking day, the color blue surrounds us. Whether it’s in the sky or seen on the shimmering waters of the oceans, blue is one of the most abundant hues on planet Earth. But, there are some shades of blue that we view as more spectacular than others. For example, the Arabian Blue paint that this 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith made available by O’gara Coach has been finished in. This blue can blend in with the seas and sky, while reflecting the shades of the sunset at the same time. It’s quite special.

The Wraith itself is a culmination of luxury, power, and style, making it the ultimate gentlemen’s gran turismo. From the outside you see the classic Roll-Royce styling, but this time you get a sense of speed and power thanks to the sweeping fastback design. Inside the Wraith is Phantom-grade leathers, expanses of wood called ‘Canadel Panelling, and a Starlight Headliner.

At the heart of the Wraith is a V12 mated to an 8-speed automatic ZF transmission. This magnificent engine provides the Wraith with 624bhp, allowing it to reach 60mph from a standstill in just 4.4 seconds. From 1,500rpm, 590 lb-ft of torque is available. Suspension in the Wraith has also been tuned to minimize body roll, making cornering at high speed much more enjoyable compared to other Rolls-Royce models. Even though the Wraith is an extraordinarily powerful car, it still provides the insanely smooth ride that Rolls-Royce is known for.

3,000 Horsepower Lexus RC F

Get ready because you’re about to see what is most likely the fastest Lexus in the world.

In a video uploaded to YouTube by EKanooRacingTV, we get to see an absolutely absurd monster of a Lexus. The car is, or was, an RC F, but it now houses 3,000 horsepower.

In a Facebook post, the racing team said “We are now the fastest door car in the world. We went 5.50 at 447.39 KPH (277.99 mph). We are well on our way to achieving our ultimate goal of being the quickest along with the fastest car with doors. This was achieved in pro boost trim (94 mm turbos at 2550 lbs). I am so proud to say that we built this car in my shop here in The Kingdom of Bahrain.”

Tesla Model S P100D

Tesla Model S P100D’s 0-60 mph in 2.4 Seconds – Tested

With the Tesla P100D the Ludicrous+ mode is available. The rumor is that this mode will allow the car to run 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds, but that’s a rumor. To put this rumor to the test, DragTimes took their Model S out, with the mode enabled.

In order to really test it, Brooks from DragTimes found a dry road to unleash the electric monster and hooked up his VBox to accurately measure the sprint.

After the sprint and reading the results, Tesla’s claim seems to have been true. Brooks’ Model S ran from 0-60 mph in just 2.465 seconds in a distance of 124.531 ft. That’s…insanely impressive. Check out the video below to see the car in action for yourself.

Justin Bieber’s Ferrari 458 Up for Auction in Scottsdale

Justin Bieber’s Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 Up for Auction

 

I don’t know if you guys know this, but at one point in time I was quoted by Yahoo Celebrity for my vast knowledge of Justin Bieber’s cars. I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but it did and I’m known as the “Bieber Guy” to some people. It also didn’t help that my hair was a bit longer at the time.

But, being the Bieber Guy at duPont REGISTRY (Purpose was a good album, alright?), it’s my duty to report that his custom Ferrari 458 is going up for auction at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale event.

The car was custom built by West Coast Customs, who wrapped the car in Frozen Blue chrome, installed a Liberty Walk wide-body kit and did much more to the car. It comes with the 458’s 4.5-liter V* engine, a 7-speed automatic transmission, custom 20-inch Forgiato wheels and a 10-inch subwoofer. For more information, be sure to click the link below.

Ferrari Powered Toyota on the Track

Not too long ago, Ryan Tuerck, an American professional drifting driver, decided he wanted to build one heck of a project car: a Toyota GT86 powered by a Ferrari 458 engine. This was no easy task, considering the difference in engine sizes. But, after months of building, the car was finished and the GT4586 was created.

Back in November, we saw the car being driven for the first time. Now, in lovely 2017, we get to see the GT4586 drifting on the track for the very first time.

What you’re going to witness in the video below is a little Toyota that’s hooked up to a 4.5-liter V8 engine, capable of 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. This power on the GT86 results in spinning tires, smoke and a lot of smiles. Check it out for yourself and try not to smile.

BMW Unveils Their Weirdest Car Yet – HoloActive Touch

At this year’s CES event, one of the hottest items is most definitely autonomous cars. BMW came to the event with a self-driving car of their own.

This new car is what BMW describes as “the latest chapter in a story that began with BMW iDrive.” This new car features the new HoloActive Touch technology, which uses the BMW Head-Up Display, BMW gesture control and new touchscreen functionality. This all results in a “free-floating virtual display which is projected in the area above the center console.” It all sounds a bit weird, but the video below by BMWBLOG perfectly demonstrates how it all works.

Essentially, the car’s touchpad has free-floating projections that the user can “touch” in mid-air. When the system detects the driver’s fingers near the projections, it counts as a “tap” and haptic feedback is provided via ultrasound. If you listen in the video above, you can hear the ultrasound haptic feedback in action.

Through this system, the driver will be able to pinpoint locations where they want the car to drive them. Once a destination is chosen, a few things can happen: the car will let you know if there are ride-share possibilities (people to pick up, like Uber) and, this is the neat one, it will let you chose a movie or show to watch during your trip that fits the length of the trip.

While this car is simply a concept car that will never reach the roads, it at least gives us amazing insight into the future tech that BMW is currently working on.

Un-Camouflaged 2017 Ford GT

2017 Ford GT Spotted, Sounds “Interesting”

Now that the first 2017 Ford GT has rolled off of the production line, we will start seeing more and more of these American supercars on the road. In fact, one Redditor, u/Emulsifide, has spotted a GT without camouflage on the roads of Detroit. He notes that he’s seen plenty under camo, but this was his first time seeing one without a veil on the road.

What’s more, when asked about the sounds of the car, he had an interesting response:

It’s interesting sounding. The guy was just cruising along, so it wasn’t loud, but from what I was able to hear for the 10 seconds I saw it, it did sound like a more subdued version of what they’ve been running in Le Mans this year. Very tasteful, but not what you’d expect when you think Ford. Definitely the sound you’d expect when you think hypercar in general though.

How To Load A McLaren P1 LM

McLaren P1 LM Loading Into a Truck at the Nurburgring

At the end of a fun track day, the time must come to put toys away. Loading cars into transport trailers can be a nerve-wracking experience, but one lucky McLaren owner makes it look easy. The P1 LM is the final iteration of the English Hypercar and a street legal version of the GTR. Gone are the air jacks and Lexan windows, and sadly the exhaust has to breathe through catalytic converters. Boost pressure has been increased to make up for the restrictions in order to keep horsepower at 986.  Also included is a tablet with engine tuning software, battery charger, and a 1:8 scale model.

Veteran racer and Indy 500 winner Kenny Brack was behind the wheel for the record-breaking run at Goodwood last year, so it has been rumored that he was chosen to finalize the suspension tuning of the LM at the ‘Ring. Filmed by Supercarsfromeu, we get to see the engineers in action and the battered belly pan of the car. It looks like the front end doesn’t have a lifting system, but nothing beats pushing a race car for a great leg workout. With a dry weight of 3,075 lbs, the double stack trailer has no problem lifting the car, but it might be hard to open the doors once inside. Various contortions must be learned for entry and egress, and they are not glamorous in the slightest. Since only a few examples will be built, turn up your volume and stay with us for more McLaren footage.

Bentley Bentayga SUV 124 mph

Bentley Bentayga fastest and most powerful SUV

When the Bentayga was first released, Bentley regarded it as the fastest and most powerful SUV in the world. It’s powered b an all-new twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine that can produce 600 hp and 663 lb-ft of torque. Yes, that’s that kind of stuff needed in order to become a powerful SUV, unless you’re a Tesla Model X and don’t need gas for power. But, being such a heavy car, how does this power translate in terms of acceleration? According to Bentley, it can jump from 0-60 mph in just 4.0 seconds.

But is that acceleration stat true? YouTuber jorrie2 decided to hop in the passenger seat of a Bentayga and film the SUV’s gauges as it rocketed all the way up to around 124 mph (199 kmh). It’s quite insane to see such a large vehicle accelerate so quick, and do so in pure English style. Check it out below and see what Bentley Bentaygas we have listed on duPontREGISTRY.com.

Lamborghini Huracan’s Launch Control

Huracan’s Launch Control Makes

 

Lamborghini Huracan thrust mode in action

Launch control has been very prevalent in recent supercars. Heck, even some vehicles like the Jeep SRT’s have launch control. As for the Lamborghini Huracan, it has was the Italian automaker calls “Thrust Mode,” which is essentially just launch control.

To see just how big of a difference thrust mode makes, DragTimes decided to hook their Huracan up with a VBox and record some 0-60 mph runs with and without Thrust Mode activated. Lamborghini notes that the Huracan’s 0-60 mph time is 3.2 seconds, but after watching this video, it’s clear to see that they were quite conservative with those numbers. In fact, the Huracan is much quicker than the official spec sheet claims it to be.

Watch the video below to see just how big of a difference launch control can make in a car like the Lamborghini Huracan.

20 Minutes of Super-cars Racing – Video

 The Sounds of Heaven

BrianZuk was recently at Shift-S3ctor’s California Airstrip Attack where some of the world’s fastest cars show up to take on the empty, half-mile runway. Dozens of cars, including the new Ferrari 488 GTB, Underground Racing Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 650S and many more, ripped down the stretch of concrete, putting on an automotive spectacle.

Now, typically when I find these videos, they’re around five minutes long and feature some kind of music. As for this one, it’s 20 minutes long and all you can hear is the sound of the cars’ engines and exhaust putting in work.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the video below.
