The McLaren 788HS Takes the Mid-Engine V-8 Supercar to the Extreme (4 minute read)

McLaren's swan song for the 720S lineage makes 777 horsepower (580 kW) and 590 pound-feet (800 Nm) from its twin-turbo V-8, hitting 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Just 200 will be built, with Senna-derived carbon-ceramic brakes, F1-inspired aero, and 10 percent more downforce than the 765LT.

2026 Porsche Macan Electric RWD First Test: Anything but Base (3 minute read)

The cheapest Macan EV proves the most engaging, routing 355 horsepower (265 kW) and 415 pound-feet (563 Nm) to the rear axle for a 5.0-second sprint to 60 mph. Ditching the front motor sharpens the handling, but a $82,650 base price balloons past $101,000 as tested.
