Lexus LFA

Image
When you think of Japanese supercars you think of cars like the Toyota Supra and Nissan GTR which are legendary supercars. But there was a time when there was an even more special and unique Japanese supercar, one that is known for its design, speed and sound. This car was the Lexus LFA. It was the only true supercar Lexus ever built and it was produced from 2010 to 2012. Only 500 LFAs were ever produced making it a limited edition supercar.   Now Lexus wanted to change their image as the luxury brand of Toyota and so that is why they decided to make the LFA supercar. When the LFA was made it seemed like it would become a success as it had everything going for it. It was very fast, well designed, good looking and was quite unique. Yet despite all of that it never became a success sadly. One of the reasons was development costs of the LFA were extremely high resulting in an expensive price tag compared to other similar supercars. But even if the Lexus LFA never became a successful s...

McLaren 12C - The first McLaren supercar ever produced

Image
Not too long ago I found an old set of supercar trump cards which I forgot I had and some of the cars in this set were pretty interesting to say the least. One of these cars is the McLaren 12c. The full name of this car is actually the MP4-12C which is a strange name for a supercar. To make it easier though its just called the 12C. McLaren of course are well known as a Formula 1 racing team and also for producing supercars like the P1, 675LT and 720S but it was the 12C which was the first road supercar that they produced and that was launched back in 2011 and it was produced until 2014. Now the 12C has a V8 engine and a top speed of over 300 kmph so the 12C is obviously very fast and also very powerful. The 12C is also very well designed and it looks great considering it was the first road car McLaren ever designed and created. The 12C also has a unique suspension system. There is also a convertible version of the 12C called the 12C Spider which is also pretty good looking too. Yet som...

Lamborghini Murcielago

Image
This post is about an interesting supercar, an older but legendary Lamborghini. The Lamborghini that I am talking about is the Murcielago which was produced between 2001 and 2010 and it was the fastest Lamborghini at the time. The Murcielago along with the Gallardo are the Lamborghinis that I knew in my childhood so when I was able to see one in Bren Garage it felt great. But actually seeing one was a big surprise and most of the cars in that collection were a lot newer.  This Lamborghini Murcielago has one of the most interesting stories in Bren Garage. Unlike a majority of the other cars at the garage which were bought new, it turns out that this Murcielago was actually bought not too long ago as a used car because the Murcielago model of course went out of production back in 2010 which makes it even more impressive. As you can see in the photos though. This Murcielago has been restored into an excellent condition and looks brand new! Very hard to believe this was a used Murciela...

Ferrari SF90 Stradale

Image
Been a while since my last supercar blog. As most of you know I got the chance to see the supercars of Bren Garage and that includes the Ferrari SF90 Stradale which is the car I will feature today. I was surprised to see this Ferrari model in the garage as I was not aware of it just like back when I saw my first Ferrari which was the Portofino M so once again a new Ferrari I was not aware of. Anyway moving on to the car. The Ferrari SF90 Stradale has an unbelievable 900 horsepower making it possibly the most powerful Ferrari currently in production and that also makes it one of the fastest Ferraris at 300+ kmph. It is also one of the newest Ferraris in production as it was introduced in 2019. There are two variants of the SF90 which are the Stradale and Spider which is the convertible version of the SF90 Stradale. It was the SF90 Stradale that I saw in the garage.   This SF90 is unique as you can see because it has a white stripe along with the red color which as I have found out i...

Audi E Tron GT - The Newest Electric Supercar

Image
It has only been a couple of months since The Audi E Tron GT has been launched and it has already gotten great reviews worldwide and has won several awards. This new electric supercar is quickly becoming popular and I feel this is the right time to post about this car because it just simply cant be ignored. The E Tron GT as well as the variant E Tron GT RS are the first electric supercars Audi have ever launched. The E Tron GT is overall a great package with a mixture of speed, performance and beauty while the E Tron GT RS is faster,more expensive and more powerful variant compared to the original E Tron GT. Besides speed and performance both variants are also well designed and look great overall especially the GT RS. You can see both variants shown in the photos below and the differences between them.  Audi E Tron GT Audi E Tron GT RS Now Audi has been struggling and falling behind German competitors Mercedes and BMW as well as other competitors like Jaguar and Volvo especially he...

How Downloadable Game Websites Changed My Gaming Experience

As quite a few of you might know I have been a gamer for over 10 years and in that time I have seen a lot of changes happen in the gaming world. One such change for me which has made a big impact on my gaming experience was discovering downloadable game websites. I still remember the days when I used to have game CDs and the CD would be put inside the player and that is how the game would start. The CDs would not last for long and got quickly worn out though. It was quite a few years after I started gaming when my mom and I found EA Origin website where we could download a variety of games such as the Need For Speed series. That was the first time I had ever seen a downloadable game website and at the time I could not believe that such a thing existed and it was just incredible to see. Although the internet speeds were slow so it would take hours for the games to download so what my mom did was have the games start downloading at night before I went to sleep so they would be ready by t...

Ferrari 488 Pista

Image
I thought it is about time for another Ferrari blog so I will be talking about the Ferrari 488 Pista which is the Ferrari in the photo below here. Before I get into the real thing let me tell you an interesting fact and that is in my model car collection the 488 Pista is the biggest one as it is a 1/24 scale unlike most of my cars which are 1/36 scale. Ferrari 488 Pista Anyway moving back to the real thing. The Ferrari 488 Pista is a special edition of the regular Ferrari 488 with changes like more performance and higher speed and probably the biggest change in looks is that there are stripes going down the center of the car. Here are the photos of the Ferrari 488 Pista and Ferrari 488 GTB and you can clearly see differences between the two cars. Ferrari 488 GTB Overall the 488 Pista is a great Ferrari. It is fast,powerful and beautiful and probably one of my favorite Ferraris at the moment.

Todays post is going to be about the Porsche Taycan. The Taycan is Porsches first electric supercar and comes in the normal variant and the Turbo variant. Like most electric supercars the Taycan has a great acceleration going from 0 to 100 kmh in around 4 seconds and the Taycan Turbo has a top speed of 260 kmh and this likely makes it one of the fastest electric cars of all time and not to mention The Porsche Taycan is also a very well designed car and especially the front end of it is beautiful. The Porsche Taycan is quickly becoming one of the most popular electric supercars in the world and it is easy to see why because of the Taycans great performance and looks as well as the fact the car is from a a legendary German brand known for making supercars. Recently the Taycan has also been selected as the new safety car for the Formula E racing series. The Porsche Taycan is an electric supercar that has given tough competition to the Tesla and has definitely changed things up in the elec...

Need For Speed Racing Series

When Electronic Arts created the Need For Speed or NFS series back in the late 1990s it became the first major racing game series as until then there were only regular racing games. The NFS series quickly became the most popular racing game series of all time. In fact the very First video game I ever played back in happened to be the 2011 edition of Need For Speed Hot Pursuit when it was just released and that was how I found out about the world of video games. In the NFS series I have also played NFS Most Wanted, NFS Shift 2 Unleashed and NFS Underground and each one of them were awesome of course Hot Pursuit remains my favorite. Even though NFS has been around for a long time now the series is still going strong and still continues to make new racing games even today. Now my experience playing NFS games has been some of the best experiences I have had in my gaming history and that is something I will never forget and I know EA will always be remembered for creating this legendary ra...

The Super SUV from Italy - Lamborghini Urus

Image
Having seen a Lamborghini Urus on the road recently I decided to feature this car on the blog. The Lamborghini urus is the first SUV launched from Lamborghini and the first super SUV from any of the top Italian supercar companies. It is a rival to other super SUVS like the Porsche Cayenne and the Bentley Bentayga. No doubt the Urus is fast and beautiful especially in the yellow color like in the photo below. But the other great thing about the Urus is that it is not just fast and beautiful but also a very powerful and strong car which can easily drive off roading on bumpy dirt tracks and hills and can take some beating without causing much damage. On the Autocar show the Lamborghini Urus broke records by driving on Umling La which is the highest road in the world. The Lamborghini Urus is will always be remembered for being one of the first and most famous super SUVs in the world and inspiring other supercar brands to make super SUVs. Now if only Ferrari would come up with one.
