It blows our collective mind that a car can be so capable yet so approachable. Our instrumented testing of McLaren’s new 750S left us scratching our heads.

What followed was a deep dive into octane, launch techniques, and our number-crunching methodology, and if you have no patience for such things, here’s the TLDR version: The 2024 McLaren 750S is ridiculously fast, and if you are lucky enough to drive one, its awesomeness will forever change your perception of what a car can do. But you already knew that, right? Come on, Constant Reader, take our hand and follow us down the rabbit hole. Oh, and if you’re a California hater, you’re going to love this story.

The debate among Ferrari enthusiasts is a passionate one. Does a paddle-shifted Ferrari sacrifice its essence, and is a turbocharged engine a downgrade from the naturally aspirated powerhouse? These questions spark lively discussions, but one thing is certain: the automotive industry is hurtling towards electrification, and even the most prestigious carmakers are adapting.

Fallston, MD

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the throaty sounds of a vintage Trans-Am racer carving its way through a road course as it downshifts into the legendary corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. The scent of race fuel and rubber adds to the adrenalin rush that leaves an indelible mark on anyone who has experienced it. That passion inspired Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, to create that combination of vintage looks and potent performance in this wicked ’63 Ford Falcon GT. The Falcon’s diminutive size made it a perfect model to transform into a modern-day Trans-Am-style asphalt-burner by packing every inch of it with a speed shop’s-worth of go-fast goods and making it ferocious on the street, road course, or even the dragstrip, while delivering plenty of dependability.

The straight-six engine has a significant place in the history of German luxury vehicles. This engine layout, now the cornerstone of BMW's brand, is known for its smoothness. In many instances, smoothness means luxury. It is in part that smoothness that you are paying a premium for. This is why economy-focused turbo-four options offered by luxury brands never capture the essence of the brand as intended. Those engines often lack the necessary characteristics that create that smooth experience.
