McLaren Beverly Hills has pulled the wraps off the limited edition Sabre. Created by McLaren Special Operations, the Sabre has been designed exclusively for the United States and this allowed the model to use “ideas and innovations that global homologation would not permit.” The company didn’t go into many specifics, but the car features a protruding nose and a prominent front splitter. There’s also a ventilated hood, slender headlights and unique ‘over fenders.’ Moving further back, we can see aerodynamic side skirts, a rakish windscreen and butterfly doors.  However, the Sabre is more notable for its distinctive rear cover and central fin which flows into a massive wing. Rounding out the highlights are an enormous diffuser and a center-mounted exhaust.  Designers also installed lightweight wheels which are backed up by a high-performance braking system. The interior images aren’t very revealing, but the cabin has two-tone Alcantara upholstery, carbon fiber and what appears to be a sm

Meet the Lamborghini’s latest Squadra Corsa project; the one-off SC20. This custom-designed and built roadster was created at Lamborghini Centro Stile, to the exact specifications of an unnamed customer, who was involved in the project from the very beginning. Even though it was designed as a hardcore open-top track car, the new Lamborghini SC20 is also type-approved for road use. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, producing 760 HP (770 PS) at 8,500 rpm and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque at 6,750 rpm. The SC20’s carbon fiber body was slicked down by hand in order to deliver optimal airflow, resulting in comfortable open-air driving even at high speeds, not to mention excellent aerodynamic performance. “Two years after the SC18 Alston, the SC20 was a new, intriguing challenge. The chief sources of inspiration were the Diablo VT Roadster, Aventador J, Veneno Roadster and Concept S, and the result is a dramatic combination of creativity and racing attitude,” said L

Designed to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary, the Venom GT successor is named after F5 tornados which have wind speeds of up to 318 mph (512 km/h). That wasn’t an arbitrary decision as it hints at the car’s targeted top speed of more than 311 mph (500 km/h). In order to hit that impressive number, the car has been equipped with a specially developed 6.6-liter V8 engine known as the Fury. It’s hand-built and features a cast iron block, aluminum cylinder heads and a dry sump lubrication system. The engine has also been equipped with two turbochargers which enable it to be the “most powerful production road car engine ever made.” In terms of raw numbers, the engine develops 1,817 hp (1,355 kW / 1,842 PS) and 1,193 lb-ft (1,617 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a seven-speed semi-automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels. This enables the car to rocket from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in less than three seconds and 0-124 mph (200 km/h) in under five seconds. Sticking with

Nissan has unveiled the facelifted Kicks in the United States. Looking far more attractive than its predecessor, the 2021 Kicks has a new front fascia with a “double V-motion” grille that is flanked by new LED headlights. The entry-level crossover also gains sportier air intakes and new LED fog lights. Additional changes are limited, but there’s a new rear bumper and updated LED taillights. The model also has restyled wheels and a revised color palette that includes three new colors as well as three new two-tone paint schemes. Moving into the cabin, there’s updated upholstery and revised trim. The model also gains a 7.0-inch driver information display, an additional USB Type-C port and a new 8-inch infotainment system in SV and SR trims. Other highlights include newly standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility as well as an optional Bose audio system and an Intelligent Around View Monitor.  The SV and SR trims also boast a new center console with an armrest.
