Pagani has announced that the Pagani C9 – the Zonda replacement – will get a custom AMG V12 and not the V12 from the Mercedes SL65 Black. Didn’t we know that? It’s been a while since we heard anything about the Pagani C9. In fact the last thing we reported – which, surprisingly, hasn’t been widely […]
Lamborghini LP-700-4: Is this the Lamborghini Jota?
It’s being reported that the car we expect to be the Lamborghini Jota – the replacement for the Murcielago – will instead be the Lamborghini LP700-4 We were sure that Lamborghini would forsake its numerical nomenclature for the repalcement for the LP-640, aka Lamborghini Murcielago.

The Aston Martin One-77 has been having a final shakedown at the Nurburgring before it reaches customers in the New Year. We have video.

New Lotus Esprit revealed
Lotus has revealed the new Lotus Esprit, featuring the same power options as the new Lotus Elite and due in 2013. We’ve been banging on that the new Lotus Esprit would turn up at the Paris Motor Show forever. It seemed the most logical step, but then Lotus went and shoved a spanner in the […]
Lamborgini Jota (or nota Jota) Tease 5. Or Tease 6
We have what is either the fifth tease in the Lamborghini Jota or not a Jota saga. Or the sixth. Oh, goodie Well, isn’t it getting exciting? You might consider – as we probably wrongly did – that the tease for Lamborghni’s Paris surprise started back in June when Lamborghini sent us a photo which said ‘Coming […]
Lamborgini Jota (or nota Jota) Tease 5
We have another in the interminable teases from Lamborghini on their surprise reveal at Paris. We’re past caring. Normally, we’d have given up now out of sheer boredom. But sometimes you go past the point when you should have said ‘Can’t be arsed’ and you get to the point where you might as well carry on. That’s where we’re […]
Bugatti Galibier: Game on
The four door, four seater 800bhp Bugatti Galibier is signed off for production in 2012.

Aston Martin One-77: 750bhp
Aston Martin has revealed that the naturally aspirated, 7.3 liter V12 engine in the Aston Martin One-77 will develop 750bhp & 553lb/ft of torque.

Lamborgini Jota (or nota Jota) Tease 4
Lamborghini issue teaser photo 3 or 4 in their Paris tease. The Lamborghini Jota – or something else entirely.

Lamborghini tease NOT the Jota?
We’re beginning to wonder if the tease from Lamborghini is the new Jota. It could be a lightweight Gallardo concept with heaps of Carbon Fibre. Hmmm. Did we get it wrong? Did we simply believe what we wanted to believe, that the tease emanating from Lamborghini for the last few months – and increasing in the last few weeks […]
