Daily news round up #2 Explosions, failures and more

Failure: Good news! The Bentley and Lamborghini SUVS were put on hold! Bentley and Lamborghini's owner VW blames the Euro debt crisis and noticed that an Bentley and Lamborghini SUV based off of a Porsche SUV that's really a VW is a stupid idea.

Failure: Speaking of VW delaying super expensive cars the upcoming Bugatti sedan called the Galibier has been delayed until 2016. Just as a re-fresher to anyone living under a rock, the Galibier isn't just a Veyron with four doors, they just share some mechanical bits.


Explosion: The new hardcore version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT ironically called the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Black crashed and seems to have exploded. Yikes, well what did they expect to happen when they made and insane car more insane? Wait Remember this is AMG.


More Stuff: Somebody won't have a job tommorow because of this picture, but here's the new BMW M6 Gran coupe. It's an M6 with 4-door therefore it's a less practical more expensive version of the M5.

Also here's the new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sedan, don't ask my what engine is under the hood, sorry i meant BOMB they have under the hood this generation because I have no clue.

Daily News roundup #1

The sort of super car issue

Today in the Automotive world, different versions of existing cars seems to be the theme.
Let's start off the The Lamborghini Aventador.

Car Magazine reports that Lamborghini is working on a 4-seater version of the Aventador, along with a convertible hardtop version. How are they going to make a 4-seat mid-engine V-12 Lamborghini? At least the hardtop on  the convertible will be easier to use then the old manual top. Car magazine also says Lambo is still working on the Sedan, called the Estoque without permission from VW. Which is pretty much the boss of Lamborghini.

The Lexus LFA is overpriced for what it can do, what it can do is astonishing though. This is one of many one-off version of the LFA coming soon. It's called the AD-X as you can see on the bigger then usual body kit. Other then that nobody really knows anything about.

The Mclaren Fax machine (MP4-12c) spider Neiman Marcus edition is an MP4-12c with a fancy logo. The Acura ZDX is getting things like lane departure warning(Took them that long to get it?) and it's being cancelled.
-_-

With Nissan news the new Nissan Pathfinder is going to start at $28,270 and because Leaf sales are so poor there making cheaper versions of it.


M5 VS. Model S Who will win?

The Tesla Model S is a very interesting car. Most people focus on it's an electric car that has a 300 mile range, the fact that the engine is around back (Like a Porsche 911) and that it handles very, very good. Automobile magazine, in true american spirit did a drag race against a German of similar size and money. The outcome is very surprising.
