ðºð¸ RUF North America Unveils Its First U.S. Production-Spec SCR TLDR: RUF North America, the official U.S. representative of RUF Automobile GmbH, has announced the arrival of the first U.S. production-spec RUF SCR. Why It Matters: The SCR is one of RUF's most bespoke builds, based on its proprietary carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. Its naturally-aspirated 4.0L flat-six produces 510 horsepower, across its rev range all the way to 8,270 rpm. Its six-speed manual – designed by RUF – is paired with a limited slip diff for as much traction as possible to the rear wheels. At the corners, ceramic-composite brakes and race-derived horizontally-opposed electronically-adjustable coilovers are engineered alongside the SCR's four-wheel double-wishbone suspension. And after all of RUF's work, the curb weight is a paltry 2,756 pounds.â â Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------

A kaleidoscope-printed nylon provides protection from the elements, alongside an extendable awning that stretches out beyond the truck bed. An included inflatable mattress is designed to comfortably fit within the truck bed, while clear walls offer views of the outside landscape even once nestled inside.

⨠McLaren Replaces Its GT With the All New 626hp GTS TLDR: McLaren has unveiled its latest creation, the GTS — a replacement for its GT, designed to provide a blend of performance and daily driveability, all underpinned by its carbon fiber technology.â Why It Matters: What's more with the GTS exactly? Well, for starters, power from the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine is now at 626 bhp, which is 14 more than its predecessor. The GTS shaves off 22 lbs. from the GT, coming in at 3,351 lbs. â As for appearance, the GTS has a new lower front chin spoiler to help differentiate it from the GT, as well as wider, larger front intakes to feed the radiators. The McLaren GTS will also allow for more visual carbon fiber enhancements that can be optioned to specific areas, like the taller rear fender air scoops and the aforementioned front intake blades. A large rear diffuser and rear exhausts complete the GTS's sleek-yet-muscular overall aesthetic.â â Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
ð¤ The Pagani Imola Roadster: an Ultra-Limited Street Legal Hypercar TLDR: Recently, Pagani unveiled one of its latest creations, the Imola Roadster, a street-legal hypercar that boasts an 850hp producing twin-turbo AMG V12 and limited to just eight units.â â Why It Matters: While it is inspired by the track-only Huayra R, the Imola Roadster is more than just a convertible twin to the 2020 Imola Coupé, instead, it represents a unique blend of the Huayra Roadster BC‘s advanced technology and the Huayra R’s aerodynamic design. According to Lorenzo Kerkoc, Head of Pagani Grandi Complicazioni, this integration results in a vehicle that is “much more advanced and complex.” The 850hp and 1,100 Nm of torque is beautifully contained in a car that weighs just over 2,700 lbs, thanks to Pagani’s three-decade expertise in advanced composite materials.â Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Hypebeast]
