When last we wrote about the Ferrari 599 hybrid, we called it a car that no enthusiast had asked for. While that may be true at the moment, it looks as though a hybrid will soon be the Ferraristi’s choice of the future, as the other option would likely be no Ferrari at all. On a recent trip to Maranello, we were given a look at the 599 hybrid concept making its public debut at the Geneva auto show as well as an overview of how Ferrari plans to keep making cars in an increasingly strict future.

Ferrari 599GTB HY-KERS Hybrid Concept

1:23 AM — Doncrack — 0 comments — Labels: Hennessey VenomIt’s alive! The first salable example of Hennessey’s ballyhooed Venom GT has been built, photographed, and soon will be delivered. Sadly, Venom GT #01 is not being delivered to us. No, the car is heading to its new home somewhere within—where else?—the United Arab Emirates, where the sun is hot, the roads are straight, and gasoline is cheap and abundant. (Sort of sounds like Texas, Hennessey’s home state, now that we think about it.)

But before the car got away, Hennessey snapped some slick photos that give the best look yet at the radically proportioned supercar. Hennessey also took this occasion to provide additional specs over what we reported when the company provided its first round of Venom GT images and information back in March.

McLaren MP4-12C unveiled
8:50 AM — Doncrack — 0 comments — Labels: McLaren, Sports cars
Formula One team McLaren has unveiled a road car - the McLaren MP4-12C. This car will be built near their group's headquarters in Woking in Surrey. According to McLaren, the factories should employ some 800 people and produce 4,000 cars per year.
The cars will cost approximately £125,000 and £175,000. I don't really agree with McLaren chairman Ron Dennis, when he says that it is an "affordable sports car". I guess it is cheaper than the Ferrari and Porsches. According to news reports, the MP4-12C powered by a 3.8 litre V8 twin turbo engine can accelerate to 60mph from rest in just 3.4 seconds.The sexy looking car features gull-wing doors.
Their McLaren Automative website is still under construction.
