Lamborghini Cabrera Rendered by Wild Speed
The pretty Lamborghini - Gallardo is ageing and is struggling to keep up with the latest generation of super-cars. The likes of the Audi R8 V10 Plus, Ferrari - 458 and McLaren - 12C are notably more advanced, not just in terms of technology but speed and power.
We know that Lamborghini are planning a replacement, tipped to be named the Cabrera, that has been spotted testing on a number of occasions.
Based on the test car and the current Lamborghini range, Wild Speed have come up with some very creative and rather remarkable renders of what the Cabrera is likely to look like.Power will likely come from a massaged version of the 5.2-liter V10 in the current Gallardo. Expect around 600 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
The renders clearly make the Cabrera seem a mix of styling taken from the brutal Aventador and the spectacular limited-production, Gallardo based, Sesto Elemento!
Dubai Police Adds the Brabus-tuned B63-S 700 into their Exotic Fleet
The Dubai Police force is already well-known for its Need for Speed-like car line up. If cars like the Ford Mustang GT, Chevy Camaro SS or even the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG do not impress you, then the heavyweights like the 700-horsepower Lamborghini Aventador or even the Aston Martin One-77 might do the job. But this speedy police force is about to get speedier as they are adding another exotic into their fleet; the Brabus B63-S 700.
A tuned version of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, this massive beast has just made its debut at the recent 2013 Dubai Motor Show. Powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the G63 already has a menacing 536-horsepower to gallop with. Brabus however thinks that the SUV could handle more and with some extra fiddling, jumps up the output to 700-horsepower!
With the same power as the Aventador, Brabus said that the B63-S 700 can do a zerotohundred in 4.9 seconds and will keep on going to a top speed of 240kmh. This tuned G-wagen also features a wider body and 23-inch wheels to go with it.
The Most Beautiful Car of the Year is Aston Martin CC100
The Most Beautiful Car of the Year is Aston Martin CC100
Aston Martin has created a special one-off car called the CC100
Aston Martin has created a special one-off car called the CC100
During Aston Martin’s 100 years of existence, it has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans just once, and that was way back in 1959 (with no less than Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori as co-drivers). If it’s shocking that a dedicated sports-car manufacturer with a rich motorsports background only took the checkered flag once at the famed Circuit de la Sarthe, then it likely is entirely un-shocking that the same automaker mined the winning DBR1 racer for inspiration to create a celebratory show car. The result is the CC100 Speedster concept, which by and large resembles the DBR1 race car as formed in the crucible of 60 years of evolution and modernization.

Aston Martin One-77

It first appeared at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, although the car remained mostly covered by a "Savile Row tailored skirt" throughout the show before being fully revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, and deliveries from the beginning of 2011.
There was a limited run of 77 cars, giving part of the name of the One-77 and sold for GB£1,150,000.
Aston Martin DB9
The Aston Martin DB9 is a grand tourer first shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Available both as a coupe and aconvertible, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7. It was the first model built at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility.
The DB9, designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, is made of largely aluminium. The chassis is the VH platform, also found in the Aston Martin DBS. The engine, on the other hand, is the 6.0L V12 from the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. The most recent Aston Martin has a top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph) and a 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) time of 4.1 seconds.
The DB9 is rated well by car critics, who appreciate the car's interior and exterior design. Additionally, in spite of the DB9's weaker engine and handling, reviewers liked the car's ride and driving experience. They held issue with the DB9's small rear seats and cargo space and poor satnav, however.
Aston Martin Racing has adapted the DB9 for sports car racing, producing the DBR9 for FIA GT1 and the DBRS9 for FIA GT3. These two cars are lightened DB9s; the interior features are removed and the aluminium body panels are replaced by carbon fibre panels. Additionally, engine has been tweaked in both the cars to produce more horsepower. The DBR9 has won in several events, including its debut event.
Saleen S5S Raptor
Anyone thinking that Steve Saleen's departure from the company that bears his name would result in the end of super cars such as the famous S7 its would be wrong. That's because now based in Troy, Michigan, as opposed to its former headquarters in Irvine California, has unveiled an all new super cars called the S5S Raptor.
If you're thinking the Raptor name has anything to do with the famous American fighter jet, guess again. Saleen chose this name because a raptor is a bird of prey - you know hawks, falcons and vultures that swoop down from the sky and hook innocent little mice and gophers with their claws and then tear them apart and eat them with their sharp beaks. In other words the S5S Raptor is intended to be one mean machine.
It also appears that besides the S5S Raptor being a more road and people friendly car than the S7 [which is no longer produced for sale in the U.S, although it is still sold abroad] it will also be a lot kinder on your wallet: Saleen expects to sell it for $185,000, compared to the price of $580,000.
