track car

Tom Walkinshaw Racing or TWR is one of the most illustrious names in British motorsports. It’s the same brand that created the likes of the XJ220 and XJR-15 roadgoing supercars of the early 1990s. Now the brand has made a comeback – and how!

Maserati has premiered its new track-focused MCXtrema at Monterey Car Week 2023. Only 62 units of the 730-horsepower (537-kW) beast are being produced. It is the Trident's most powerful track car to date.

Hyundai has motored into the Goodwood Festival of Speed to debut the first electric vehicle to get a N-brand high-performance makeover. The Ioniq 5 N is a faster sprinter, comes with a simulated 8-speed transmission and carries more battery capacity.

The McMurtry Spéirling is nearing production, a year after setting a Goodwood record and half-year since 0-60-mph and quarter-mile records. The 1,000-hp single-seater will bring fan-assist downforce to market to melt faces and baffle eardrums.

You, along with millions of others, may already have driven this supercar in its original, virtual form as part of the Gran Turismo video game series. Now, it's coming to life in the flesh, as a sold-out limited edition with a screaming V10 engine.

British company McMurtry Automotive has shown off its new Spéirling at Goodwood. It's a miniature electric hypercar with a Gordon Murray-style fan system that generates more than 500 kg of downforce at a standstill – and 120 decibels.

Bugatti has released a photo dump showing its nascent Bolide hypercar getting a little coy with some of its clothes off. Currently #6 on our list of the world's most powerful cars, the 1,825-hp Bolide prototype is an epically raw rejection of luxury.

Ever wonder what Bugatti's quad-turbo W16 could do if decoupled from heavy, bulbous cars like the Chiron? Bugatti has, too, and it answers with the Bolide, an ultralight 1,825-hp hypercar parked at the bleeding edge of automotive possibility.

Radical Sportscars has released another race-ready lightweight track car, slapping a big Garrett turbo on a mid-mounted Ford EcoBoost engine for strong racetrack performance with endurance-championship durability. The new SR10 makes 425 horsepower.

Gordon Murray's T.50, with its record-smashing Cosworth V12 and fan-forced aerodynamics, is a fascinating car. And if you thought Murray was going to build it and not take it racing, you're nuts. There's a race version coming, and it's even nuttier.

Due for full release soon, the latest track-only Lambo will have the most powerful V12 in the company's history, and higher downforce levels than a GT3 racer. While it's still in pre-launch camouflage, the video is pure petrolhead audio porn.

Take one genuine ex-F1 chassis, fit it with a 600-hp, 9,000-rpm engine designed for reliability and low maintenance, add one set of custom Pirelli tires, and you can own a 600-kg track weapon capable of generating up to 4 g of cornering force.
