If you’re convinced that hybrids can’t be dynamic, test driving the McLaren P1 may very well make you change your tune. With 903 horsepower generated by a 3.8L V8 and an electric motor, it reaches 100 km/hr in 2.8 seconds, has a maximum speed of 350 km/hr and is sufficiently gentle for everyday use. Moreover, it can go 11 km in 100% electric mode, which means it can strut around town in total silence.
Unlike many other McLarens, the all-new Artura is not named using a series of digits and letters. A combination of the words “Art” and “Futura,” it slots between the GT and 720S as a wonderful new supercar with hybrid technology. With 720S production ending as we speak (and the company …
There are cars that strike a deep chord. In my case, it’s generally about the drive, more than the styling, outright performance or technology. Driving a car is what’s most empowering in this world, unless you fly planes or save lives for a living. Driving is nearly everything to me.
During an impromptu discussion at the last Montreal Boat Show, the folks at BRP mentioned to us that their all-new 300-horsepower, Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft was faster off the line than many sports cars.

What is a McLaren? For some, absolutely nothing. For others, it’s a company that very successfully competed in F1 for decades. For others still, McLaren is the creator of some the most sought-after, desirable and rare supercars the world has even seen, such as the monstrously cool F1 road car.
It was a day of exceptional premiers at the St-Eustache Autodrome. On that track, no one had ever driven these two versions of the McLaren MP4-12C, a superb carbon-fibre sports car that took off in hot pursuit of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and other brands nearly two years ago. Before …
In case you were still weighing the pros and cons of getting a McLaren P1 (Pros: unbelievable performance, positive resale value, fuel-saving hybrid power; Cons: $1.2 million price tag, difficult to find winter tires), I got bad news for you. Earlier this month, the last copy of the English hypercar …
McLaren's MSO branch modifies vehicles according to their wealthiest clients' (sometimes unique) wishes for a very simple reason: for these people, having a car that is even remotely similar to someone else’s is simply preposterous. For them, there is nothing worse than pulling up to a restaurant in their red …

We all would like to own the three most advanced vehicles on the market today. However, since we are not billionaires, some of us don’t have the means to see one in the flesh (or carbon fibre), so seeing one in our driveway is pretty much out of the equation.
This weekend, McLaren unveiled their latest billionaire's track day toy, the P1 GTR. Targeting the minority of people who look at a regular P1 and think, ''Yeah, this is not hardcore enough," the P1 GTR is not road-legal. It is equipped with various aerodynamic bits, like a carbon fibre front …
This year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be decidedly full of wonderful cars! MSO (McLaren's Special Operations) just lifted the veils off the cars that will be shown at their booth. The first one is a 650S created in partnership with the McLaren dealership in Newport Beach. The car is …
It seems that the wealthy are just as impatient as we are! Oracle Finance just published a surprising report on the hypercar market. According to them, the people who paid $1.7M for one of the 499 LaFerraris are now ready to pay $1.4 million MORE just to take delivery right …
