Would it surprise you if we told you that Jay Leno is getting delivery of the first McLaren P1 on this side of the Atlantic? Of course it didn't shock us; and it's an interesting lesson on how the slightly surreal world of exotic car delivery can work. Unlike the sometimes cringe-worthy unloading (or loading) antics we've seen with other supercars, this McLaren P1 gets the white glove treatment, complete with a truck that not only lowers its bed, but raises its top to free the car in the most gentle and elegant of ways.

Acura NSX Prototype Headed For Goodwood Hill During Festival Of Speed
The Acura NSX may be the most over-teased and under-delivered car of this century. For years now, we've seen concept after nearly identical concept--no, wait, this one's a prototype!--with no actual production car in sight. The next step in the Neverending Story Xperiment will come at Goodwood...

Some of the world’s best roads are also among the sketchiest, narrow lanes clinging dangerously to the sides of steep, rocky mountains. The penalty for failure: plunging hundreds of feet into the sea. What better place to put hypercar icons like the Enzo and LaFerrari to the test? Best of all, perhaps, is the recent addition of a driver's-eye view of the shenanigans, from the cockpit of the 963-horsepower LaFerrari. This is, quite literally, as close as most of us will ever come to driving the car, so go fullscreen, turn up the speakers, and live vicariously through this lucky SOB...

When you're very small, the concept of grandparents doesn't really mean much. You get that they're your parents' parents, but beyond that they're just the crinkly, friendly people you see now and then, suppliers of extra presents come birthday or Christmas time. But you'd sure as heck warm to them if they took you to school every morning in a miniature Lamborghini replica, as one Chinese grandpa does for his young grandson. According to ChinaSmack (via Jalopnik) the man, known as Old Guo, built the mini electric Lambo because it was safer than transporting his grandson on a wobbly electric...
