Centenario Testing

Lamborghini Centenario Formally Unveiled at Nardo Ring

Last week we found footage of AutoBild behind the wheel of the Lamborghini Centenario. It was a quick glimpse of the formal unveiling, which saw journalists from around the world converge at Italy's famed Nardo Ring. Used as a proving ground for many European manufacturers, the facility takes its name from a 7.8-mile circular track which contains a road course and a drag strip. Alongside the Huracan and Aventador SV, the Centenario was filmed in action, with the active rear spoiler working hard under braking.(Related - Afrojack Pulled Over in his Lamborghini Aventador SV)With the eyes of the world upon them, Lamborghini engineers were probably nervous about how the new model would perform for the press, and the drivers were probably hesitant to push the incredibly rare car in the manner it was designed for. The exterior has more exposed carbon fiber than any predecessor, and it is symmetrical at every axis. Inside is a sharp departure from previous models, with a 10" touchscreen offering Apple CarPlay integration. Looking to the future while celebrating Mr. Lamborghini's 100th birthday was a tall order to fill, so stay with us for updates on this Italian masterpiece.Aventador SV For Sale|Huracan For Sale

Eye Candy: 13 Koenigseggs Gather for Owners Tour 2016

In a perfect world, all cars would be V8 engines with over 600 horsepower. For fourteen years Christian von Koenigsegg is trying to build that world one car at a time. In what has to be the largest gathering of his cars we have seen, the highlights of Koenigsegg's 2016 Owners Tour were uploaded earlier this morning. Like a proud father calling his children home, over 10 percent of their production models gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark. In what has to be one of the most scenic rallies ever created, they drove north for a tour of southwestern Sweden before returning to Denmark.(Related - Lamborghini Italian Tour: Beautiful Scenery, Beautiful Cars) Take a second to comprehend how much power was combined here. The CCX was the first model for world production and it even on a bad day it ovvers 795 hp. Each successive model has raised the bar in terms of light weight construction and incredible power levels. Nascar fans should probably stop reading here, because the One:1 is capable of shaming even the most powerful Sprint Cup car. We hope they upload more footage of this event, as they are the state of the art in supercars. Stay with us for more Koenigsegg news.View Koenigseggs For Sale

Rolls Emerald Feature

By Andrew Nabors –  July 28, 2016

Emerald Encrusted Rolls-Royce Wraith & Dawn Revealed

We're only slightly jealous that Rolls-Royce has a Summer Studio on Sardinia. The beautiful scenery of Porto Cervo inspired the team to build two stunning cars with details unmatched by any of their previous builds. A press release early this morning highlights the finer points of the elegant automobiles. In brilliant contrast to each other, the pair was named "Dusk until Dawn".Inspired by a pristine Mediterranean sunset, the Drophead Coupe features "ambient hues of dusk".  Two shades of silver grace the exterior along with a purple accent pinstripe. The interior offers the calming colors found along the Costa Smerelda at twilight. Ostrich leather is complimented by purple, blue, slate and black trim. The colors were chosen to evoke the tranquility of a long day's journey into night.(Also Check Out - The Vision Next 100 Is Rolls-Royce's Most Bizarre Concept, Ever) And since the sun also rises, a new Dawn was commissioned to capture the colors found in a daytime sailing from Porto Cervo. The team was inspired to create art within art, and no expense was spared. White gold and emeralds are set into open pore teakwood. Arranged to form the emblem of Porto Cervo, the jewels make this Dawn one of the most expensive current Rolls-Royces on Earth. Both cars were given direction by London-based tattoo artist Mo Coppoletta. His artwork adorns the head rests and will be featured alongside both cars on display at the Summer Studio. No detail was overlooked, as bookmatched teakwood lines the luggage compartment of these bespoke cars. Proving there is no limit to their abilities, Rolls Royce is offering you a blank canvas for your design. Both cars are 1 of 1 and will probably sell for a tidy sum in the near future. Until then, take a look at these listings from our dealers to find your next Rolls Royce.Dawn For Sale|Wraith For Sale

Most Amazing Sounds From 2016 Pagani Gathering

Named after the best car movie of all time: Vanishing Point is the annual homecoming for Pagani owners. Taking place at the factory in San Cesario, it attracts the rarest and most powerful cars from around the world. Founded in 1992 by Horacio Pagani, he took lessons learned as the head of Lamborghini's composites program and combined them with an AMG-tuned Mercedes V12. His first production car was the Zonda C12 in 1999 and the rest is history.(Related - Jaw-Dropping Aston Martin Vulcan Sounds and Burnouts)The carbon fiber manufacturing side of the business is known as Modena Design, and they were the first to infuse titanium into the composite structure. Carbotanium is a patented material both stronger and lighter than each of its ingredients. Our friend Marchettino always seems to be in the right place at the right time, and he was able to film an unprecedented departure of supercars. The soundtrack is too overpowering for ear buds, so turn up the volume and disturb your coworkers. Tell us which car sounds the best in the comments below.View Paganis For Sale

R8 Crash

By Andrew Nabors –  July 26, 2016

Audi R8 Almost Crashes at the Ring

We have told you why you should buy an R8, but here is the best reason yet. The old north circuit of this hallowed track (Nordschleife) has claimed 78 lives and countless cars since 1928, which is why Eifeler888's crash footage has such a following. If you are reading this, you probably remember what cars were like without stability control and ABS. Everyone of us has had moments when power overcomes traction and your car takes you on a wild ride. In what has to be the best advertisement for Audi's quattro system, one brave spectator captured an R8 GT in an unscheduled drift.(Related: Koenigsegg One:1 Suffers Major Wreck, Explanation On What Happened)Cornering is fun with all-wheel drive, but toss in an elevation change and the tire's contact patch to the pavement becomes very small. The 2017 R8 uses the Huracan's electronic center differential to instantly transfer power front to rear. But the first generation models used a viscous coupling similar to the Diablo VT (Viscous Traction). It relies on clutch plates suspended in thick oil that are activated when the rear tires lose traction. While it might not respond as quickly as the new model, this video is proof that all-wheel Drive can be the difference between a soiled seat and a hospital bill.Although that noise of the end didn't sound too good...View R8's For Sale

Aston Martin Bids Farewell to the DB9

Aston Martin's factory in Gaydon, England is tooling up for their new DB11. The new model is the successor to the DB9, so we all knew this day was coming. In a late night post to their Twitter page, they announced the final nine cars are ready for inspection. With one of the longest runs in the world of exotic cars, we first saw the DB9 back in 2004. Designed by Henrik Fisker, it is powered by a 6.0L V12 making 510 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. Built as a coupe and convertible (Volante), the engine and body are built by hand using methods passed down from master to apprentice. We have been fortunate to sell quite a number of them along with having them as the centerpiece of our events. The DB9 is as close to automotive perfection as you will find. Farewell to an icon. The last nine Aston Martin DB9s are now ready for final inspection. pic.twitter.com/arpi2NPus7 — Aston Martin (@astonmartin) July 22, 2016 Hand sewn leather and wood are the best form of holistic stress relief. The rear mounted automatic transmission offers more cockpit room than competitors along with a more balanced weight distribution. Nothing else sounds as refined and powerful as the big 12-cylinder when provoked. Yes the new model will be an amazing performer, but everyone here has fond memories of the DB9. If you have never considered an English supercar, we implore you to experience one for yourself- you won't be disappointed.Search DB9 For Sale 

1909 UK Edition

By Nicole Slaughter-Graham –  July 22, 2016

The U.K.'s Morgan and Selfridges Team Up on Zero Emission...

Born in 1909 in England, were two brands destined to become British icons in the business world. Today, they come together for a much anticipated collaboration. Their project is a specialty, zero-emission, all-electric vehicle, which will be known as the #UK1909Edition EV3.Morgan, a boutique car-maker specializing in classic looking three and four wheeled vehicles, was established in 1909 by H.F.S. Morgan. As their site states, the vehicles created, "are coach built and subjected to continual development in order to meet current standards of safety and to offer the responsive thoroughbred performance with which our name is associated."Selfridges, which was also established in 1909 by a man named Harry Gordon Selfridges, is a chain department store specializing in high-end goods and fashion.(Also Read - Electric E-Wazuma Quad Has More Torque Than A BMW M2)The two brands will use their expertise in the respective areas of business, the automotive world and design, to create the completely one-of-a-kind #UK1909Edition EV3.Both companies share the same business values, one of which is to create sustainable products, thus, a collaboration on the EV3 fits well within their ventures. In a press release, the brands had this to say about the project:EV3, called UK 1909 Edition, blending Morgan’s legendary engineering know-how and iconic design with Selfridges’ famous flair for fashion. The result is a car that is a collector’s item as desirable and beautiful as a piece of art and as practical, comfortable and fast as a 21st century car with carbon neutral credentials should be.(Check Out - Koenigsegg One:1 Suffers Major Wreck, Explanation On What Happened)The UK 1909 Edition will be a three-wheeled vehicle capable of 120-150 miles on one charge, with a top speed of 90 mph. The "retro-futuristic, bullet-bodied" vehicle will feature a fusion of luxury and sport, taking inspiration from "1930’s aero engine race cars, classic motorcycles and 1950’s fantasy automatons."The UK 1909 will be limited to only 19 examples and is scheduled for two official launches: one in Selfridges Birmingham onOctober 1 and another in London on November 1. The price point is set at £52,500 (approximately $57,565).

M5 Competition Feature

By Andrew Nabors –  July 22, 2016

BMW Unleashes 2017 M5 Competition Edition

Bavarian engineers are always hard at work looking for more power. It seems as if every German car is migrating their turbochargers to the top side of the engine, which allows them to run cooler and spin up faster. BMW was the first to do so, and it has proven to be a resounding success. The M division never likes to leave power on the table, so they have turned up the wick on the 2017 M5 sedan. The finer details of an upcoming Competition Edition were outlined in a press release earlier this morning. By raising the boost pressure and adding more fuel, the M5 Competition Edition adds 40 hp to reach 600 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Production will be limited to only 200 cars but the modifications are not limited to acceleration.(Related Read - BMW M6 Coupe Competition Edition Revealed) Taking a page from their past, the suspension is lower by half an inch and the shocks have been stiffened. Everyone can agree that M cars have been trading driving excitement for luxury refinement in recent years. Electric power steering has been derided as offering almost no feedback, so they have dialed back its power to let the driver feel the road. Only two colors will be offered. 100 cars will be built in Carbon Black Metallic, and the other half will be Mineral White. As usual with cars of this nature, all optional content is included. Bang & Olufsen audio, full merino leather interior, and carbon fiber aero package leave nothing to be desired. BMW likes to take Limited Production literally, so we hope they choose to send a few across the Atlantic. Stay tuned for more M Division & BMW news.View M5s For Sale
