Manhart Show Off The MH6 700 BMW M6

Manhart have finally unveiled their MH6 700 BMW M6. It has been out, actually, ever since the 46th Essen Motor Show opened its doors earlier this month. Funny how some manage to slip under the radar. The M6's original 4.4-liter V8 with its 560 hp is in no way a slouch, but Manhart have gone the extra... several miles and amped the power up to 734 hp (because who cares about consistent naming, MH6 700?) and 953 Nm. Essentially, that means ECU tweaking, a carbon-air-intake-system and a complete

Hennesseey Chevrolet Corvette C7 Does 200 mph

How much did it achieve? 200.6 mph. It is an impressive achievement on its own, but if we compare it to the recent GEMBALLA run, it all becomes quite awkward. The 700 hp Panamera-based GTP did crack the 211 mph threshold without being on a diet or anything (a bit over two tonnes as you would find it on the street). The not-weighing

NAIAS Kia Concept Teaser

The first image (sort of) of an upcoming unnamed Kia concept is here, and we are feeling curious. What is it? All we know is that we are talking about a “stunning” 2+2 sports car designed at Kia's Irvine, California-based studio. Hey, at least its not another compact SUV nonsense. Also, it kind of looks like a baby Veyron. Is it going to gold-plated or what? We highly doubt it, but if it is, may we suggest calling it the “Calf“? Don't want to get too biblical here, but if it does tur
