Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario heading for Shanghai

So, even though the Veneno was the Lamborghini 50th Anniversary car at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, it looks like Lamborghini is having a second ’50th Anniversary’ special up their sleeves – the Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario. According to Carscoops, the Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario will debut this weekend at the Shanghai Motor Show as a limited run of just 100 cars to add an extra celebratory veneer to Lambo’s 50th year as a supercar maker. The LP720-4 50 Anniversario comes in an eye-catching bright yellow - Giallo Maggio – with a black aerodynamic package to contrast that includes a new front apron, diffuser and skirts.

Volvo V40 teased again ahead of Geneva [w/video]

Volvo has released an unusual cartoon teaser video for its new five-door V40, together with an additional image. The animated video features a flock of birds perching on power lines before all but one fly off. Being left on its own to dance on the lines, before fading to black with the words 'Be One of a Kind' appearing before advertising the car's imminent arrival.  Meanwhile the image (left), showing the car in silhouette, gives little away about the design, unlike Volvo's first sneak peek (right), released in December last year.

Brazilian students develop soapbox racers for Volkswagen

Brazilian design students have competed for year-long internships at Volkswagen's Brazilian design studio by designing – and racing – soapbox cars. Established 15 years ago by Volkswagen South America design director Luiz Veiga, the Volkswagen Design Talent Contest refreshed its format for 2013 by challenging students to develop a prototype for a gravity-powered soapbox racer instead of asking for sketch and render-based proposals. According to Veiga, Volkswagen was looking for someone "capable of working away from the desk and able to create design solutions, assess and build them".
