Koenigsegg is a mere babe compared to the likes of Ferrari, Maserati, even Lamborghini, in the world of super high performance automobiles. Even so, in its relatively brief time of existence it has already given us quite a few models that even the grand old masters of the game would love to have…..

Hot on the heels of Epic Games’ decision to free the fee (excluding royalties) on its Unreal Engine 4, NVIDIA has announced that it’s also freeing something up: The source code to its PhysX SDK. Before your mind wanders too much, it’s the CPU-targeted code that’s affected here. It’s still in NVIDIA’s…..

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…..

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…..

After a month of anticipation, NVIDIA announced its SHIELD at GDC. Yes – “SHIELD”. Unlike the portable and tablet to come before it, the latest SHIELD is a dedicated set-top box that acts as a media player and game console. It’s an inch thick, features Tegra X1, costs $199, and includes a…..

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…..

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…..

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…..
