The Geneva International Motor Show is a car show for the dreamers. Of all the regular stops on the show circuit, Geneva is always the least practical, the most expensive, but the most spectacular. Sure, several more family-friendly cars that we’re all more likely to own someday are revealed here too, but it’s always been…

Amidst all the incredible machinery being revealed at the Geneva Motor Show this week, I’d like to direct your attention to what is clearly the best car there: the BMW Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo Touring.

While RUF is recognized as an independent vehicle manufacturer, its vehicles were always heavy based on Porsches, or they were heavily modified Porsches, depending on your perspective. Now RUF introduced the new CTR at the 2017 Geneva Auto Show. Despite the car’s look, RUF says that it is not a Porsche. Rather, it is an all…

/
comments
Lamborghini’s long-awaited high(er)-performance Huracán has finally broken cover at the Genva Motor Show today. It’s probably the first of many super sports cars based on the successful Huracán coupe and with an *alleged* Nürburgring lap time of 6:52, it’s probably faster than any of its V10 or V12-powered predecessors as well. The formula for the Huracán…

There are six long months to go until this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. No doubt the many local and regional car meets that naturally occur will fill some of the weekends in, but it would be nice if there could be a proper, full-scale event – one where highly tuned race behemoths can come…

Welcome to the Hooniversal Opinion covering the 2017 North American International Auto Show. While we did have someone in attendance to offer a couple opinions, we still like to get everyone on staff talking about the new cars launched at each major auto show.
