The Evening Rush is your daily roundup of auto, gear, and lifestyle news, all in one place. Less time searching, more time driving. Motor on.

Automotive

Lamborghini may have just accidentally revealed their latest hypercar, the Lamborghini Centenario. Said to have a whopping 770hp, this space-age rocket is capable of blasting to 60mph in 2.8 seconds.

According to reports, the Abarth version of the Fiat 124 will debut at Geneva Auto show this week. Reports indicate that the aggressively-styled Abarth version will get approximately 220hp. With that much power, it might be necessary to use the 1.7-liter turbocharged engine from the Alfa Romeo 4C.

The Bugatti Chiron was revealed at the Geneva Auto Show today and the 1,480hp monster is something out of a child’s nightmare—albeit a brilliant, technologically-fantastic. The 8-liter, quad-turbocharged W-16 propels the $2.6 million car to 60mph in 2.5 seconds and reaches speeds north of 260mph!

Tossing a surfboard or snowboard inside your car usually results in some gross sandy/snowy mess. Instead of ruining the interior of your car, buy a Seat Rack and save your upholstery some strife.

Lifestyle

Today’s beer pick takes us to Elizaville, New York and Sloop Brewing Company. Founded in 2011 and currently operating out of a 19th century barn, Sloop Brewing Co. has proven that you don’t need a decade of experience to make heady brews. Sloop plans to release a citrusy Northwestern IPA called Juice Bomb this week and you can grab some at Beer Noggin in Bronxville, NY this Wednesday during a Sloop Brewing Co tap takeover!
