New Age Holy-Trinity: Where Is Porsche?
With the all-new Ferrari F80 and the McLaren W1 breaking cover, could Porsche be next to join in to create a new-age of holy-trinity hypercars?
2024 has been utterly eventful, especially in the hypercar realm, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to witness it all. It kicked off with the Bugatti Tourbillon, that wild, 1775-horsepower V16 hybrid beast, which debuted back in June. But with rumors of successors to the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari in the air, I knew that we’d have something along the lines of what now appears to be shaping up to be the new-age holy trinity: absolute madness.
Here's What Rally Legend Walter Röhrl Thinks About The McLaren F1

An Undervalued Supercar That's A Future Classic In The Making
Despite being a halo car for McLaren and Mercedes, find out why the SLR remains one of the most underappreciated supercars of its era
Imagine Mercedes-Benz’s precision engineering infused with McLaren’s Formula 1 pedigree. That’s precisely what the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren represents. This iconic Mercedes unveiled on 17th November 2003, embodies a supercar in a grand tourer-like body. With only 2,157 examples ever produced, the SLR McLaren is a rare gem. Its design is utterly unique, boasting a dramatically long hood, butterfly doors, and side-exit exhausts that pay homage to Mercedes’s racing heritage and the original SLR from the 1950s.
