Of the thousands of people who strolled by the latest Performance Powerboats P-360 catamaran during the Shootout On The Strip evening street celebration ahead of the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout last month, few knew the 36-footer was hull No. 7. Less than two years ago, Osage Beach, Mo.-based Performance Boat Center—the founder of the brand—delivered its first 36-footer.

Despite that the annual Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in Central Missouri has been run for 36 years, the list of competitors who have reached or exceeded 200 mph during the official competition is shorter than you might think. Of course, the cockpit pairings of John Cosker and Tony Battiato from the American Ethanol Mystic Powerboats catamaran and Cosker and Dave Callan of the Longlite Mystic cat come immediately to mind, as do Dave Scott and John Tomlinson. The fastest pairing in the history of the event with their 244-mph pass in the Spirit of Qatar Mystic in 2014, Steve Curtis and Sheik Hassan bin Jabor Al-Thani are another easy pair to pull from memory. So, too, is Bill Tomlinson and Ken Kehoe of My Way fame, which is another Mystic cat.

McLaren is finally learning that competing with the likes of Ferrari takes more than just performance - you need to make owners feel special, and new MSO Contrast Packs for the McLaren 750S aim to do just that. McLaren Special Operations has worked its magic on the 750S before with a new Spectrum Theme, available in Spectrum Blue, Spectrum Grey, and Spectrum Orange, but while that color-shifting scheme is limited to three variants, the Contrast Pack offers 12 pre-configured exterior themes alone.

The Bugatti Tourbillon is a masterpiece in more ways than one, both in terms of engineering and design, and replaces the Chiron's quad-turbocharged W16 with a new naturally aspirated V16 that's paired with electric motors to produce 1,775 horsepower total. This latest Bugatti is very different from its predecessor, and there are some interesting explanations for why some of those changes emerged. Speaking with CarBuzz at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week , Frank Heyl, Director of Design at Bugatti explained how one of the Tourbillon's most distinctive details was done out of "necessity," not for the sake of styling.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.

The Tiffin Motorhomes story starts in 1941 when the Tiffin family opened a general store in northern Alabama. Over the following decades, the family would acquire several other businesses including a cotton gin in 1965 and then an RV business in 1972. Still family owned and operated, Tiffin has made RVs and campers ever since — and in 2020 was purchased by THOR Industries, which also owns Airstream.

For more than two decades, Ford’s King Ranch package has served as a premium trim for the automaker’s trucks and SUVs. Slotted just below the top-tier Platinum trim, the King Ranch package is named after a South Texas cattle ranch that’s larger than the state of Rhode Island. Named after founder Richard King, the facility was one of the first ranches to be added to the National Register of Historic Places, boasting a land mass so vast that it touches six counties.
