ZR1 Vette vs Jet
MT Editor at Large Arthur St. Antoine pits Chevy's awesome "Blue Devil"
-- the Corvette ZR1 -- against its toughest adversary yet: a Blue Angels
F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet.
2013 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport
On this episode of Ignition, Angus Mackenzie pays a visit to Molsheim,
France to explore the history and development behind the world's most
expensive street legal super car, the Bugatti Veyron. The Veyron has a
turbocharged 16-cylinder engine that makes more than 1000hp, can
accelerate to 60mph in about 2.7 seconds, goes faster than 250mph, and
costs well over a million dollars. Afterwards, Angus then heads to
Ehra-Lessien near Wolfsburg, Germany to witness the next iteration of
the Veyron, the Vitesse, take on a top speed record challenge, before
ultimately getting behind the wheel himself.
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder
On this week's Ignition, Carlos Lago has a second go at Porsche's 918
hypercar. The goal: to run the 918 through the full gauntlet of MT's
instrumented testing, including 0-60, quarter mile, braking, figure 8,
and a blistering real-time hot lap around Big Willow race track with pro
driver Randy Pobst. Carlos also gets a rare chance to experience the
918's ancestor, the Porsche 959. The 959 was a remarkable piece of
automobile history that was decades ahead of its time with much of it's
technology only appearing in common vehicles within the last ten years
or so. The 918 attempts something very similar, featuring very advanced
technology, including a naturally aspirated V8 that works with a
seamlessly integrated electric motor to provide extra boost. Can
Porsche's new hypercar achieve the same effect that its predecessor did?
Only time will tell, but stay tuned for the record-breaking review.
2015 McLaren 650s Spyder
On this week's episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the ultimate drop top McLaren. With nearly 650 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque from its revised 3.8 liter twin turbo v8, the 650s is one of the fastest accelerating convertibles on the planet. With more power, more grip and improved aero, will the 650s prove to be more than a facelifted 12C? Stay tuned and find out!
Lamborghini Huracan 2014
On this episode of Ignition, presented by Tire Rack, Jonny Lieberman
gets behind the wheel of the latest super car from Sant’Agata: the
Huracan. Mechanically a short-wheelbase version of the coming soon Audi
R8, the Huracan looks to be a blend of classic Lamborghini design
motifs, dating all the way back to the Countach and Miura. Speaking of
those two, they never even kinda drove 1/10 as good as they looked. No
Lambo ever has. Jonny feels that this one might be different, so he
enlists the help of his friend, pro driver Randy Pobst, to figure out
exactly how good this latest Lamborghini actually is. How good is it?

Lamborghini
The
history of ‘Lamborghini Automobili’ officially starts in 1963.
Nevertheless, we must consider the far-off roots of this event, and they
are the roots of Ferruccio Lamborghini. Born in 1916, this capable,
impetuous, strong-willed Taurus was the leading character in the
foundation of the company and the early phases of its extraordinary
history.
By the time he decided to build a factory of luxury sports cars, Ferruccio was already a very wealthy man. In the period following World War II, he founded his tractor factory, which he launched with energy and determination, creating a major point of reference in this industry. Other businesses followed, and he amassed his fortune at the perfect time, before his fiftieth birthday. By the early Sixties, Lamborghini was a powerful and successful man who knew exactly what he wanted, but when he said he would build a super sports car to compete with Ferrari, many people thought he was mad. Constructing that kind of car was viewed as an unexplainable extravagance, a hazardous leap in the dark, and something that would squander his fortune without ever turning a profit.
He started working on this project in late 1962, and by May 1963 he had already founded ‘ Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini’, buying a large plot of land in Sant’Agata Bolognese, about 25 kilometres from Bologna, to build a new large and ultramodern factory. Because of the experience he had gained with his other companies, he was in a position to set up the best facilities for his purpose: a very functional structure that, at the time, was unrivalled in its field. The enormous and well-let central building was adjacent to the office building, so that the management could constantly monitor the production situation. This was ideal for Lamborghini, who would often roll up his shirtsleeves and go to work on the cars personally when he saw something that wasn’t done just the way he wanted.
The first model was naturally put out quickly, given that Lamborghini had only a few months between the time he decided to build the factory and the date set for its official presentation. The event that was chosen for this was the era’s traditional rendezvous, the Turin Auto Show scheduled for the beginning of November 1963. Since Lamborghini had a very clear idea of what he wanted, he didn’t waste any time looking for the right people. For the engine, which had to be the best V12 made in the area – and thus in the world – he immediately turned to Giotto Bizzarrini, who had designed some of Ferrari’s most recent engines. For the rest of the car and to start up production, he hired two promising young engineers, Giampaolo Dallara and Giampaolo Stanzani. This was a considerable endeavour and time was short. Nevertheless, when the 350 GTV, was presented it was already a masterpiece.
In retrospect, 1964 was an extraordinary year. The 350 GT was born. The immediate and almost inevitable offshoot of the 350 GT, of which 120 were built, was the 400 GT. Its engine was increased to a four-litre model and it featured the first gearbox designed in-house by Lamborghini. Based initially on the two-seater body, which was later developed into the 400 GT 2+2 with two occasional seats behind the two regular ones, the 400 GT reached the respectable overall production figure of 273 units.

Bugatti Veyron
The sad truth is that the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is simply too fast for this world. You just can’t go cruising around at something like 20 mph faster than a pole-winning qualifying lap for the Indy 500. But if you must find a place to blast around in one of these land-bound rockets, you could do worse than Eastern Cape, South Africa, or at least the most remote portions of it. Here, termite hills provide some of the only landmarks by which to navigate, and the savannas and badlands are covered in a thick blanket of silence.
