*Th**e 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](<https://www.theverge.com/2016/2/29/11133120/lamborghini-centenario-leak>). 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](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/29/abarth-fiat-124-spider-geneva/>) 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](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2378/the-2017-bugatti-chiron-might-break-your-brain>) 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!

**Gear**

A durable backpack can quickly become a treasured companion. [Mission Workshop’s Black Camo Series Cargo Pack](<https://missionworkshop.com/products/limited_edition_gear/expandable-cargo-pack-cobra-buckle.php>) wants to be that friend. Made of extreme durable Cordura, this water-resistant bag can double in size when needed and utilizes carbon fiber framing to keep your back from crumbling. With a flurry of other handy features, we would gladly make this bag our best bud.

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](<https://www.seat-rack.com/>) and save your upholstery some strife.

**Lifestyle**

Today’s beer pick takes us to Elizaville, New York and [Sloop Brewing Company](<https://www.sloopbrewing.com/beers/>). 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](<https://www.beernoggin.com/>) in Bronxville, NY this Wednesday during a Sloop Brewing Co tap takeover!

Everyone loves a solid Patagonia jacket, but a sterling price tag keeps many buyers at bay. Fortunately, the [Nano Puff Insulated Jacket](<https://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache/semi-annual-sale-patagonia-insulation/PAT3379-PEPGN>) is on sale for 40% and ready to become your favorite piece of spring gear. With a lifetime warranty, you are bound to bring this jacket on countless adventures, but if the Nano Puff isn’t your thing, there are [many more discounted jackets to pick from](<https://www.steepandcheap.com/gear-cache/semi-annual-sale-patagonia-insulation#?gender=Men's>).
