The raw energy from these sliced and diced panels hardly needed a racing upfit. But here we are. This Senna GTR is absolutely shocking in its design brutality. The functional nature of the aero additions are makes them even more interesting and beautiful to the eye. Check out this nose — not just the usual surfboard chin splitter here, oh no. What they’ve done is remove any air-blocking flat surfaces from the nose. What …

2019 Mercedes-AMG GT63S – First Look – 2018 Goodwood FoS

Talk about a tough car to judge from the renderings! The new AMG GT 4-door is quite polarizing from all sides. Is it a super-CLS or a proper supercar with four doors? This top 63 S model is certainly the top of the ranks. Its giant chrome grille bars are flagship Mercedes of the future, while its giant bright tailpipes and huge upright rear wing are quite the statement pieces. Say what you will about its globby surfacing…. this machine looks like an escaped DTM car in motion at Goodwood. Here’s a photo flyaround courtesy of James Crabtree — who …

200MPH 2017 Vanda Dendrobrium Joins Goodwood FoS Lineup

Geneva was filthy with million-dollar exoptics this year. And at least half of those were from new brands with electric propulsion.

Ground-effect aero, power doors and canopy and floating wheels? Dreamy! Concept hypercars have a bad reputation for not being real, however. And Dendrobrium’s lack of tech specs makes one worry a bit. The targets are simple enough for any EV hypercar: 3.0-seconds to 60-mph, 200-mph top speed and a range of …
