Lamborghini Aventador

James May is likely not the first man you think of when it comes to taking out Lamborghini’s new Aventador, but it turns out he’s quite fond of Sant’Agata’s pride and joy. TopGear recently grabbed three examples of the all-new model for a jaunt around Europe. Jump over to his article on TopGear for his quick read. Hopefully the new model will make a proper appearance on the show when it returns this Sunday. [Source: TopGear]

Zagato Ferrari 250 GTZ LWB Tour de France

[/caption] Each year Father’s Day brings us the incredible Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance. This year’s event celebrated ‘The Art of Italian Motoring’ with FIAT as the honorary marque. While FIAT celebrates the classic 500 alongside its US launch of the new 500 interpretation, the added excuse to honor all Italian motors and designers comes with this year also marking the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification (as we’ve mentioned before with the Pagani and Lamborghini Tricolor models). Though literally every vehicle at this event is uniquely special and selectively invited each year,…

2012 BMW M5

[/caption] After seemingly endless spyshots and video of prototypes lapping the Nürburbring, the latest incarnation of BMW’s  M5 has finally been officially unveiled. After ceasing production of the last generation’s V10, the new model gets a 4.4 liter twin-scroll twin-turbocharged V8 producing an immense 560 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque. Direct injection and the company’s VALVETRONIC variable valve timing is also present. Despite these goodies, fuel consumption and emissions have been cut due to the introduction of regenerative braking and (don’t scream) stop-start ignition. Top speed is 190 mph with the M Driver’s Package or 155…

Qatari Royal Family's 1,000 hp Ferrari 599

[/caption] We all know that color – Qatar’s Royal Family is at it again with the family’s traditional turquoise color adorning yet another of their supercars. First it was the one-off Pagani Uno, then it was the Lamborghini Murcielago and Koenigsegg CCXR disobeying the parking laws outside Harrods (which they happen to own), and now it’s this reportedly 1,000 hp Ferrari 599. Regardless of how dimwitted they may be for driving around like this on such public and congested streets, at least these gorgeous machines (even in turquoise) are indeed out and…

2011 BMW M3 Frozen Black Edition

[/caption] BMW’s limited edition M3s are getting less, or more, special depending on your perspective. With those already out exclusively for the Chinese market, the Australian Pure, the standard CSL-type GTS and the Frozen Gray editions to mention a few, BMW is now adding the Frozen Black.

Priced at approximately $80k, all 20 are fully optioned out with the Competition Package, GTS…

Lotus: NA-Spec Production Of Elise/Exige Ending In August, Expect Special Editions

2011 Lotus Elise

[/caption] Get your orders in now (or wait for the inevitable special edition swan songs). Autoblog has been informed that Lotus will discontinue building the North American version of their Elise and Exige models this August. What may seem like a sudden announcement, this has actually been cooking for awhile. Yes, Toyota is discontinuing the 4 pot Lotus uses for these vehicles, but the real headache is the US government – The exemption Lotus received back in 2004 for lacking ‘smart’ airbags on these particular models is expiring. So, until the new Elise comes in 2015, safety…
