Posted on March 5, 2015 2:00 PM by J.D. Kane

Koenigsegg is a mere babe compared to the likes of Ferrari, Maserati, even Lamborghini, in the world of super high performance automobiles.

The Geneva Auto Show has seen many a Lamborghini world debut. My favorite, of course, is the 1971 show, when the mighty LP500 Countach first shocked and awed the automotive world. Well, the 2015 show also has a Lamborghini world debut. This time, it’s the hottest version of the LP750-4 Aventador, the…..

Honda’s New Civic Type R Wows At Geneva

Posted on March 4, 2015 12:15 PM by J.D. Kane

The Honda Civic may be known to most people as a rather prosaic, even boring, automobile. That, however, is without reckoning or acknowledging that the Civic actually has been a long-time contender in the “hot hatch” and sporty coupe markets for decades. In many parts of the world, the Civic Si (in…..

Posted on March 3, 2015 3:45 PM by J.D. Kane

Does anybody remember the iconic BMW M1? The M1 was a Lamborghini-designed BMW mid-engined supercar from the late 1970s. It was BMW’s attempt to enter that rarefied marketplace occupied at the time by Ferrari and its 512BB, Maserati’s Bora, and Lamborghini’s own Countach. Sadly, because of various circumstances, the M1 never really…..

Leaner, Meaner Gen 2 Audi R8 Debuts in Geneva

Posted on March 3, 2015 2:00 PM by J.D. Kane

The Audi R8 is, I have to say, one of my favorite supercars. It’s got the perfect size (lots of supercars, even the ones I like a lot, are far too big), handsome styling, and a V10 that at full howl reminds me a lot of Formula 1’s glorious “V10 era.” The fact that it has…..

Aston Martin Vulcan Is Hottest Aston Ever

Posted on February 26, 2015 3:30 PM by J.D. Kane

Admit it. You’ve got your biases. I know I have mine, especially when it comes to cars. I’ll admit that my car enthusiast heart goes at maximum revs for Lamborghini, McLaren, and, to a lesser extent, Koenigsegg. Everyone else would just blip my throttle, so to speak. Then I heard about Aston…..

The proof is Evolve, a game that incorporates a brand-new 4v1 formula. Let’s find out if the game’s unique design is its strongsuit, or…..

Nearly an entire month after the GeForce GTX 970 memory debacle kicked-off, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has issued an open letter to help close the chapter on these unfortunate events, and also to offer an apology.
