McLaren MP4-12C: There WON’T be a 2+2
Following recent rumours that McLaren are to build a 2+2 version of the MP4-12C, McLaren has made it clear that under no circumstances will it happen. The Interweb is full of rumour.

Lexus LFA: NOT all sold in the US after all
Despite having claimed earlier this week that it had sold all 500 Lexus LFA supercars, Lexus now say there are still at least 21 available in the USA. Odd. We reported just a few days that Toyota were saying that all 500 Lexus LFA Supercars are sold out. We didn’t make it up – honest guv – […]

Lexus has revealed that all 500, £336,000 Lexus LFA Supercars have now been sold. Production commences in December and lasts for two years.

Salon Prive: Atomik 500 UK Debut
A fun debut at this year’s Salon Prive is the Fiat 500 based Atomik 500, an electric city car with supercar performance. You wouldn’t necessarily think that a Fiat 500 based car would be the sort of thing that would turn up at Salon Prive, much less have its UK debut. But the Atomik 500 is no […]
McLaren F1 241mph record video
