Lamborghini are teasing the Murcielago’s replacement – the Lamborghini Jota – with the most pointless tease image we’ve seen.

Cars UK has been called the petrolheads’ favourite website by the Guardian, in a piece condemning new Transport Minister Philip Hammond’s views as ‘Saloon Bar Ignorance’. Oh, dear.
