New Italian Supercars at Frankfurt
Despite the recession, the Frankfurt Motor Show saw new Supercars from Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari launched. Yes, the world’s in financial turmoil.

The Bugatti Galibier has some startling similarities to the new Bentley Mulsanne. Is the Galibier a re-skinned Mulsanne? A new Bugatti doesn’t happen every day.

Lamborghini Reventon Roadster – the Video
Lamborghini has produced a video of the new Reventon Roadster – but don’t expect too much. Having bleated on about Lamborghini making a Reventon Roadster since March, and finally seeing the elusive drop-top surface at this week’s Frankfurt Motor Show and vindicating our exclusive (cue self-blown trumpet), we feel compelled to bring you all the […]
Lamborghini LP560-4 Superleggera coming?
Lamborghini appear to be planning a Superleggera verion of the LP560-4 or LP550-2. When Lamborghini decided to build a car to compete with the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, the Gallardo was coming towards the end of its shelf life.
