In New York, Subaru presented a real sports cat with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine, the engine that the brand also uses in the BRZ Super GT models it races with in Japan. With aerodynamic accessories, Subaru Tecnica International offered a glimpse into the future, and above all, what this Japanese car brand is capable of.

The American start-up company Lyons Motor Car will present at the 2015 New York Auto Show the monstrous LM2 Streamliner, which pulls up to an incredible 467 km/h and reaches 100 km/h in a mere 2.2 seconds. Although it is a concept that, above all, does not come from an established factory, names such as Koenigsegg and Pagani give hope that in the future the LM2 Streamliner will take the title of the fastest car in the world.
IndyCar is a little less known motorsport in our country, because from across the Atlantic we mostly hear about the NASCAR series. But the American version of Formula 1, which has a turbulent history behind it, is slowly getting back on the path of its old glory. Despite spending much less money on race cars that are also significantly more restricted than their F1 brethren, Honda and Chevy have delivered the world's most resilient bodies. Not only do IndyCar racers fight closer and more exciting battles, they also now look better than those from the queen of motorsports.
In the 2015 Formula 1 season, ten teams will compete for the championship title. Among them was the Manor Marussia team, which waited until five past twelve for a ticket from the International Automobile Federation (FIA). Otherwise, we will see old faces, but only when it comes to the names of the teams, because this year's championship of the queen of motorsport brings plenty of fresh blood, as the teams have rejuvenated not only the racing cars, but also their drivers. The youngest among the F1 racers, Max Verstappen (Toro Rosso), was a historic 17 years old when he made his debut.
Scuderia Camreon Glickenhaus, or SCG, is a lesser-known car manufacturer that is active in racing circles rather than building road cars. Well, now they have prepared a road version of their competition 003C, which only got the suffix S, that is SCG 003S. The super sports car is said to be unofficially capable of over 500 hp and suitable road performance.
After months of playing hide-and-seek, Honda presented the final look of their Civic Type-R road rocket a day before its premiere at Palexpo. This in many ways sets new standards in the segment of small sports cars, and for the first time in this model we are witnessing turbocharging, which gives the 2.0-liter petrol engine additional wings and as much as 228 kW or 310 hp. With such a pedigree, the Civic is currently the fastest "hot hatch" in the segment, if we exclude the RS study Focus at Geneva.
Not Eyjafjallajökull, not Vesuvius, the most active volcano will be the new Aston Martin Vulcan. The racing car, which was named after the Roman god of fire, is so beastly that it would rather not be let out of the "cage", and it can only be driven on the racetrack. Yes, we are really not used to such extreme trips from Aston Martin, as they are more at home in prestigious sports cruisers, but they are also no strangers to supercars. But this one is the most brutal after the One-77 model, and the price is also brutal - 2.05 million euros.
More than 20 years ago, McLaren wrote a new chapter in sports motoring when it created the McLaren F1 GTR road sports car. Despite its enviable age, this is still not for the old model, but compared to younger rivals (eg Ferrari LaFerrari and FXX K) it is still Rocky Balboa from the sixth part and not the first part. McLaren responded to the last moves of the competition with the P1 GTR model, which will be presented in Geneva, and even earlier it walked around the circuit with its "great-grandfather", the F1 GTR.
The American racing car Shelby Cobra 427 is considered one of the greatest automotive icons. This year marks Abraham, and for this anniversary, Shelby American has produced 50 examples of this esteemed model, which will be available starting January 15, 2015.
It's time again to test the 10 most driver-friendly cars of 2014. In an incredible epic race over a distance of a quarter mile in the so-called sprint or drag race.
No, this is not an unsalted joke. A car that leaves behind not octane fumes, but the smell of the sea (well, at least imaginary). Do not pour gasoline or diesel into it, nor salt water directly. Although such technology might be able to stop sea level rise. A bone to gnaw on, scientists?
The real and virtual worlds are more and more a reflection of each other, and when we talk about augmented reality in the field of motoring, we automatically think of racing computer games, where the windshield is not obscured by vignettes but by various data. Now this is expanding from the virtual to the true reality, as Jaguar has moved the concept from the screens to its racing cars.
