A new way for Pagani owners to care for their vehicles.
Pagani Puro has just been announced by the automaker as an extensive program that will authenticate and certify their vehicles. This new service will be available for every Pagani vehicle, and it will certify each component that makes up the car and state the general condition of them. The process involves over 400 checks that can be accomplished by Pagani-certified mechanics. During the process, the mechanics will check over each component with the help of Pagani’s database. This database includes all data on each car to come out of Modena, including the history of each component, serial numbers, photographs, and the mechanics who worked on the vehicle. When completed, each owner will receive a Puro book that Pagani creates at their headquarters. Each of these books acts as a diary for the cars, documenting its history over the years and it even includes a certificate of authenticity signed by Horacio Pagani.
Presented by QuickJack – Did you know you can have a commercial-quality car lift in your garage that’s completely portable and easy to store when not in use? You can with a QuickJack™ lift. In 2015, QuickJack revolutionized lifting at home, the track, and the shop by giving customers a faster, safer lifting alternative to floor jacks, stands or ramps without the expense or massive space requirements of a permanently installed lift.
The new QuickJack TL series is taller and now provides a full 2 feet or more of ground clearance.
Many vehicle owners want the flexibility to perform vehicle maintenance, upgrade parts, detail their cars or swap wheels at home, but using standard floor jacks is a real hassle. QuickJack lifts compact, frame-engaging models with an open-center design that gives you full access underneath and around the vehicle. You can use a QuickJack lift for vehicle maintenance and repair, including servicing the brakes, wheels, and suspension.
The new QuickJack TL Series lifts recently debuted at the 2021 SEMA Show. These models offer an additional 3 inches of lifting height over the outgoing SLX models to provide a full 2 feet or more of ground clearance.
QuickJack, a versatile and portable commercial-quality lift for your garage
The new QuickJack TL line includes four models to handle everything from cars to light trucks with a lifting capacity up to 7,000 pounds.
QuickJack is self-contained, and with an available power supply, it can operate both indoors and outdoors. Set up is easy and once it’s assembled, moving and positioning QuickJack is breeze. The unit rides on smooth moving urethane wheels, and its zero-leak quick-connect fittings means you’ll be ready to lift your vehicle in no time. Once your vehicle is lifted, you’ll have peace of mind that both you and your vehicle are securely supported by QuickJack’s automatic locking bars.
All QuickJack TL models feature pendant controls for one-handed operation, dual-position automatic safety locks and durable urethane wheels to make it easy to roll the lift wherever it’s needed. Each lift reaches its full height in just 30 seconds. When the job is done, the frames lower to 3 to 3.5 inches high and can hang on a wall, slide under a toolbox, or go into the trunk until next time.
QuickJack is a faster, safer lifting alternative to floor jacks, stands or ramps.
When Lamborghini introduced the new Aventador SVJ to the world, they also announced a special edition called the Aventador SVJ 63. The number “63” comes from the year Lamborghini was founded, 1963, and the automaker also limited production of this special edition to just 63 examples. Making this edition a special one is a unique exterior livery, extensive use of carbon fiber, and exclusive color and finishes. An exquisite example of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ 63 is currently for sale at O’Gara Coach Beverly Hills. This Aventador SVJ 63 is finished in the vibrant Verde Mantis Glitter paint with a Nero Cosmus interior. With just 807 miles on its odometer, this rare Lamborghini is ready for a new owner.

The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR is exhilarating. With its supercharged engine, sharp looks, and engaging driving experience, the SVR gets closer to performance SUV nirvana than most contenders in the segment. The SVR does so by committing to performance almost above any other metric, making this Jag not just fun because it’s an SUV. It’s a proper performance vehicle full stop.
To put the 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR through its paces, I spent a week living with it, alternating between quick blasts through the canyons and mundane commutes to see if this SUV is more than just a performer. While this Jaguar is not without its flaws, it serves up an exciting driving experience for the type of buyer that needs one car to do it all.
Aging Like Fine Wine
The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR marks the first model year of this SUV’s mid-cycle refresh and facelift. The first-gen SVR was a stunning thing to look at. Designed by Ian Callum, the man behind heavy-hitters such as the Aston Martin Vanquish, DB9, and DB7, the F-Pace stands out as a family hauler that is genuinely nice to look at.
The refresh, however, takes things further, employing sleeker lines and emphasizing the SVR’s commitment to performance. It all starts at the front, where this latest Jag sports improved aerodynamic elements that allow for greater airflow, resulting in improved cooling and a 35 percent decrease in lift. Additionally, the new face reduces this SUV’s drag coefficient, allowing it to cut through the air more efficiently.
My tester was finished in an SVO premium paint color called Desire Deep Red, which itself is a $4,550 option. While this shade couldn’t decide if it was brown, red, or purple, the way it shifts under different lighting scenarios only helps extend the visual appeal of the SVR. Additionally, my tester’s dark gray contrasting trim highlighted key parts of the F-Pace’s design, including its wheel arches, front aero, and rear diffuser.
The rear of the SVR picks up where the front left off with its new LED taillights. While the large spoiler on the rear hatch screams sporty, it’s all about the rear diffuser. Flanked by two aero elements that help channel air, the diffuser houses four polished exhaust tips that stand out against this SUV’s dark paint but also help highlight the most critical part of the SVR, its engine.
550 Horsepower And A Driving Experience To Match
While most performance SUVs juggle the difficult task of trying to be equal parts comfy and sporty, the 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR breaks away by committing to performance. Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, the SVR pushes out 550 horsepower and 516 pound-feet. All that power allows this 4,535-pound Jaguar to hit 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.
Aside from delivering linear power thanks to its supercharger, this V8 sounds fantastic, producing a guttural noise befitting a muscle car. While valves in the exhaust allow you to quiet things down, slam the throttle with the valves open, and you get one of the best-sounding SUVs I’ve ever driven.
The SVR turns noise into speed via an eight-speed automatic transmission mated to an all-wheel-drive system. Around town, this Jag’s powertrain calms down significantly, blending into the background of your commute with smooth shifts and quick responses to throttle inputs. However, the SVR shifts significantly faster at speed, delivering a more aggressive driving experience. While this transmission doesn’t feel as sharp as what you can expect from a dual-clutch, it’s most of the way there.
While this SUV is a true performer with excellent straight-line speed, that isn’t its most impressive trait. The SVR’s party piece is how well it handles. With adaptive dampers on all four corners, this large SUV is incredibly tight, offering little body roll and excellent stability. Aside from just raw performance, the SVR nails the fun department, offering a driving experience that requires few compromises for the buyer who needs a performance vehicle and a family hauler.
However, one such drawback is the F-Pace’s ride quality, which is great when you’re blasting through canyons, but stiff and bouncy around town. While the SVR is far from uncomfortable, a quick spin through a crowded city reveals where this SUV falls on the comfy vs. sporty spectrum.
The SVR’s Biggest Improvement
While this refreshed 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR is nice to look at and even nicer to drive, its most significant improvement lives in its interior. Instead of tweaking a few vital components, this latest F-Pace has an entirely new interior design, including a new steering wheel, dashboard, infotainment screen, and more.
Gone is its predecessor’s 10-inch touchscreen that lived embedded in the dash. Instead, we now have an 11.4-in unit with a tablet-style design that sits proudly on top of the SVR’s HVAC controls. This display is powered by the brand’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment that is both sleek and easy to use while offering up Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The SVR’s white-leather seats are as good-looking as they are to sit in. These bucket-style sport seats offer cooling and heating functionality while supporting you without squishing you in an attempt to be overly sporty. The SVR’s interior strikes a nice balance between ergonomics and material choice, befitting a near six-figure SUV.
How Much Does The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Cost?
While the 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR starts at $84,600 plus a $1,150 destination charge, our tester came in at $97,379. Optional extras such as the premium paint for $4,550, 22-in wheels for $1,200, and leather seats for $1,150, push this SUVs price closer to six figures. While the SVR is far from cheap, V8-powered competitors from BMW and Mercedes-Benz all start over $100,000, making this Jag a good value in its segment.
I couldn’t find things I would change about it throughout my time with my tester. This is precisely how I would option an SVR, with just enough extras to accentuate its strengths. After a week with my tester, it was clear that while it may not be the world’s fastest SUV or the most luxurious, the SVR strikes a great compromise between offering a fantastic driving experience and enough space for your family to tag along.
Presented by LOKI Basecamp – LOKI Basecamp, maker of premier four-season pods that transform a stock pickup truck into the ultimate adventure vehicle, is proud to release its second model, the Icarus, into the wild.
The new slide-in camper retains the same four-season capabilities and all the basic comforts and functions of the Falcon but condenses it into a smaller, and lighter package that’s more agile and easier to drive while overlanding. The modular interior design is carried over from the Falcon, allowing users to customize the interior to suit their needs, be it sports, leisure, or field office.
LOKI Basecamp
“We designed the Icarus with a philosophy of no compromises” said founder and CEO Pierre-Mathieu Roy. “We wanted a four-season unit that was light enough for easy driving both on and off-road, and it needed to be strong enough to carry all of our outdoor toys on the exterior rack system” continued Roy.
LOKI Basecamp
The reengineered and reinforced fiberglass shell adds the structural support requested by Roy and it boasts R16 insulation, making it suitable for use in all four seasons. A Webasto Heating Unit supplies hot air and water, and A/C is powered by a 12v air conditioner. A 2,000-watt inverter is up to the task of charging the onboard 300ah to 600ah Lithium battery bank, and rooftop solar panels can supply up to an additional 300w of energy. The Icarus also boasts an on-board water pump, a 15-gallon fresh water tank and 13-gallon grey water tank. The exterior is adorned with an up to 48,000 Lumen light bar on the front, and utility LED lights on the sides and rear as well as a retractable awning. Like the Falcon, the Icarus also has a modular exterior rack system that can be configured to carry a wide range of sporting goods.
LOKI Basecamp
The interior has room for a full bed over the cab, hidden storage for a portable toilet, and a multi-function seating and table area that can be reconfigured to make room for an additional bed. The kitchenette features a stainless-steel sink and a mobile induction cooktop. Remaining interior space is dedicated to a mudroom with a mobile shower. That precious real estate can also be used to hang wet clothing or for additional seating.
LOKI Basecamp
Later this year it will be possible to add a Red Tail Overland structure on the roof of the Icarus, transforming it into a penthouse with a full 4 season bed.
The Icarus is available in two models: the Icarus 6 will fit trucks with 6.5-foot beds and the Icarus 8 is for larger trucks with 8-foot beds. Prices start at $69,000, with many custom options available. LOKI Basecamp is currently accepting pre-orders with a $5,000 deposit through its website at www.lokibasecamp.com. Once finished, the Icarus will be hand-delivered and installed for customers in North America.

McLaren Beverly Hills has created an evocative video that celebrates the Elva and its heritage.
There’s no denying the fact that the McLaren Elva was inspired by classic race cars from the automaker. Its speedster design, silhouette, and extreme power output (804 horsepower) are all aspects you would expect from a race but the Elva puts it all together in a street-legal package. McLaren Beverly Hills has just published a video that celebrates the link between the Elva and McLaren’s storied history. In the video, found above, you’ll hear from F1 CEO, Zak Brown, McLaren Indy 500 winner, Jonny Rutherford, and former McLaren F1 driver, JP Montoya.
‘’Everything about McLaren is authenticity, Elva represents that in the purest and most perfect sense from both the driving dynamics and design to the technology that’s in it.’’ – Ansar Ali, Managing Director, McLaren Special Operations
