The new Lamborghini Huracán is no more a secret among us, recently the company has revealed to the world the long awaited successor of the Gallardo but still, since its public debut takes place in a couple of months (at Geneva Motor Show, to be precise), at the moment just some lucky chaps invited by Lamborghini are allowed to see the car for real.
We don't know exactly what's the plan for the unveiling of the long awaited Gallardo successor, but it looks like they haven't handled very well the situation in order to avoid a leakage of material regarding the car that everyone's waiting to see.
Hopefully we don't have to wait until the 10th of September to see the Ferrari 458 Speciale for real on its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The latest creation of Maranello has been spotted at night in the streets of Barcelona during the making of an official video for Ferrari.
In utter surprise, yesterday night Lamborghini has shown to the media and the participants of the 50th Anniversary Grande Giro a new concept called Egoista to celebrate half century of the brand. The name fits perfectly because it means " selfish " and just like Ferruccio Lamborghini once said " I'm going to put the engine in the back, I don't want a passenger ", the Egoista is a single seater concept with a 5.2L V10 600hp engine located in the back. The car is designed from VolksWagen Group and obviously is heavily inspired from a jet fighter and looks to be the most extreme Lamborghini ever made.
After a couple of years of concepts and teasing, Alfa Romeo debuts this year in Geneva with the final version of the 4C that is going into production. Many of us are wondering how does the tiny 1.7L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine sounds, and here in a world's first we get to hear its noise in a video taken while the car was being moved inside the Palexpo at Geneva.
Of couse if you haven't seen yet the video below, I spent some time to film the 4C inside the show, finally Alfa Romeo is back to its roots with a good RWD sports car.

If you have noticed, since its debut McLaren has always showed just the external lines of the P1. Finally, 3 weeks before the debut of the final version of the P1 in Geneva, McLaren reveals the interior that looks good as much as the exterior! The first thought that would comes to your mind is the lightness. Everywhere you lay your eyes you notice carbon fibre and alcantara, which gives to the car a true racing look. The lightness of the car hasn't compromised the comfort inside the cockpit, you can find the audio system, the climate control and the multimedia screen in the central tunnel, pretty similar to the 12C.
This year occurs the 50th anniversary of Lamborghini and the brand will celebrate it with several events, such as this one that has involved the staggering number of eleven Lamborghini Aventador Roadster driving around Miami and then with a special permission for a very high speed run at Miami International Airport's runaway. The unleashed Bulls have reached a top speed of 338kph, faster than an airplane during the take off!

The american dream is back! The 2014 Corvette C7 Sting Ray is the successor, it's completely new, and a great improvement under every point of view, compared to the C6. The look still reminds us that is a Corvette, but it looks way more exotic, european, a supercar! Of course the typical Corvette exhaust with 4 central pipes is still there, and I think that the back is too inspired from the Camaro, but that doesn't mean that is a bad rear.
Porsche continues with massive testing of the upcoming 991 GT3 and Turbo, where else? At Nürburgring, of course. For the first time in Porsche's history, the GT3 will be available with a double clutch transmission just like the one in you can see in this video. The power output of the next generation Turbo is supposed to be around 520hp and its debut could take place at Frankfurt Motor Show, in September 2013. What about the GT3? With a possible power output of 450hp and a better handling than the previous one, the 991 GT3 will be for sure a track animal! Rumors are about its close debut at Geneva Motor Show, in March 2013.

Jaguar is ready to debut next week at Los Angeles Auto Show with their fastest saloon car ever made, the XFR-S. This future rival of the most powerful saloons such as the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG, has been developed at Nürburgring and it will be lighter and with a better aerodynamics than the XFR, with the use of a massive rear wing, a bigger diffuser, a different front bumper and with the use of more carbon fibre. Official specs haven't been revealed yet, but maybe the same V8 engine of the XFR could be pumped up to 550hp. Jaguar has released an official teaser, but a few pics have been posted on internet about an XFR-S with a slight camouflage at a local gas station at Nürburgring.
YouTuber and friend DoctaM3 has been one of the first 50 lucky people to see the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster in Miami. Hopefully, cameras were allowed, and he managed to take a video to the event and of course, to the car and also how to install the roof, in a much more simple way than the old Murcielago.

Just 24h after my post regarding the spy shoots of the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, Lamborghini has released the official pictures of what is probably the hottest roadster of the moment! The roof of the Aventador Roadster is composed by two carbon fibre compoments whose weight is approximately 12kg, this roof is much more practical and easy to use than the tragic one of the old Murcielago Roadster. The design of the engine bay has been modified to allow the roadster configuration and a better cooling, the heart of the car is still the same, a massive 6.5L V12 with 700hp and 690nm, the classic 0-100kph acceleration is slightly slower, and it takes 3 seconds, top speed is still 350kph.
My friends at Autoblog.gr have been lucky enough to spot a testing mule of the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster coming out the gate of the factory at Sant'Agata Bolognese. The private debut, just for customers will take place tomorrow in Miami, but the ordinary mortals and petrolheads will have the opportunity to see it in its public world debut at Los Angeles Motor Show, starting the 30th of November. Specs should be the same of the coupè; the car will be moved by a 6.5L V12 with 700hp and 690nm, with a top speed of 350kph and a manually removable carbon fibre roof.
The italians are back, with the 6th generation of the Maserati Quattroporte, a new, fresh answer to the big market dominated by the german saloon cars. The new Quattroporte is based on a new chassis, if compared to the previous Quattroporte, it will be longer and 50kg lighter (1940kg). The specs aren't yet revealed, but rumors are about a 4.7L V8 Ferrari engine, and as the plate could suggest, with 530hp. In the future, a diesel version could be considered. The world debut of the new Maserati Quattroporte has been set during the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, in January.
If there's a car that we are waiting with enthusiasm and impatiente, it's certainly the Alfa Romeo 4C. The concept car has been presented at Geneva Motor Show back in 2011, then the car has been displaied in several motor shows, but we've never heard about testing or official specs. Finally, we see the prototype in the wild for some testing in Turin, Italy. The debut of the final production vehicle should take place in the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, its production will be supported in the Maserati factory in Modena. This little sporty Alfa reminds me the Lotus cars, it will be light (less than 900kg) and with a little but powerful 1.7L turbo engine with 250hp, this car will be a success!
This video was taken in May while car was on display at Concorso d'Eleganza of Villa D'Este.

Just a couple of days before the media day of the 2012 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini has released a teaser video to something very interesting. Even in this motor show, the brand will attract the attention of journalists and petrolheads, because there's something new coming soon. The last, extreme Gallardo " Nova ", or a concept about its replacement?
We just have to wait a few more days to find the answer. Just to let you know, I'll be there on media day for a massive and live coverage, including pics and videos that will be posted on my social media pages.

The wait is over, after almost 20 years, the next week we will finally see the successor of the legendary Mclaren F1, and it's called P1. More precisely, the debut will take place the 27th September at Paris Motor Show during the first media day, then we will be able to know more infos and also how much power this monster will release. Mclaren has just published the first official renderings you can see below:
A very interesting video about the Ferrari F70 has appeared on YouTube, the dutch spies from Speedspot had a close up with the prototype of the future Enzo replacement in the italian countryside not so far from Maranello. Once the two technicians of Ferrari realized to be in the focus of the cameras, they quickly covered the car and watched the spies not really with a friendly smile.
