The horsepower game in the automotive battleground is more intense than ever. Recently, we’ve seen many cars that effortlessly breached the 1000 hp mark but now there’s a car that almost brushes the 2000 hp mark. With 1914 hp at its disposal, the Rimac Concept Two is a tower of power. This all-electric hypercar follows the steps of the Rimac Concept One, which had “only” 1073 hp.
Danish hypercar manufacturer, Zenvo, came to the limelight a few years ago when the Zenvo ST1 was released with 1104 hp. Now at the 2018 Geneva motor show, they’ve unveiled a new model with even more performance. Called the Zenvo TSR-S, it is essentially a track-focused, road-legal hypercar.
When the Range Rover Velar was added to the range, car enthusiasts around the world praised it for its elegant, almost coupe-like design, even if the drive itself was reviewed as unsatisfying.

Out of all the cars that ever existed, only a few have managed to attain a legendary stature. And the Toyota Supra lurks near the top of this list.

Due to this fame, a successor to the discontinued Supra was highly anticipated by petrolheads. As to quench their thirst; Toyota unveils a GR Supra Racing concept that shows us what the new Supra will be like.
It’s been in the news for a long time now. The house from Mercedes Benz has been teasing us with a four-door version of the AMG GT sports car.

Just a few years ago, hybrids were regarded as boring. Now though, things have changed. Pure petrolheads may still frown at them, but the fact remains that many hybrids of the present are fast cars. So when Mercedes Benz came up with the mild-hybrid CLS model, their in-house nuts, AMG, decided to play with hybrids to add more speed to them. Thereby we witness the inception of the AMG 53 range.
The Jetta had been a very successful product in the VW portfolio ever since it was first launched in 1979, even if it’s not particularly common on GCC streets. In the U.S. alone, VW managed to sell 3.2 million Jettas in this time period. Now, at the 2018 Detroit Motor Show, the sedan walked into its 7th generation with sleeker styling, a new platform and a completely overhauled interior.
