  • Spy shots: Lexus LF-A

    Lexus has always positioned itself as being more about luxury than outright sportiness, but that’s about to change with the new LF-A coupe due to be launched later this year. Competing against cars such as the Audi R8 and BMW M6, the LF-A will likely be powered by a 5.0L V10 engine churning out 500hp. The LF-A will also be available in a hybrid variant, as we reported here earlier, but it’s unknown how much power this version will have or what effect the heavy batteries and extra motor will have on the handling and weight. Its front mid-engine placement, along with a rear-mounted...

  • Updated: More details on Mercedes' super-sports car

    Updated: Mercedes won’t be taking any chances in the performance stakes with its new super-sports car following the disappointing results of its SLR supercar, which rarely comes first in comparo reviews. The new model is set to be slotted in between the SLR and SL, and could feature a 700hp version of the 6.2L AMG V8 engine according to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport. However, we think it'd probably be closer to 600hp so as to not step on the toes of the SLR flagship. The source also reports that it might carry the name ‘SLC’ and could also feature a biturbo V8 model...

The custom work was completed by Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, a specialist in car customization and aerospace fabrication. The custom Gallardo received extended versions of the doors, roof and side windows, adding a total of 12 in to the car’s overall length.
