Pagani Huayra

Following on from where the Zonda hypercar left off, is the latest offering from Pagani: the Huayra. An all0new car from the small scale Italian manufacturer, the Huayra does its bit for climate change. By downsizing from the AMG-sourced 7.0-liter V12 to a new 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, the Huayra sees an increase in power whilst lowering emissions.

Mercedes CLA employs a cat in new advert to demonstrate its aerodynamic shape (video)

It’s the Mercedes CLA sliding cat advert We’re not entirely sure that Mercedes has chosen to focus attention on a cat in a new advert for the CLA to dig at Jaguar’s mickey-take of its chicken advert for Magic Body Control, but it’s definitely the cat that’s front and centre, regardless of the motivation. With the new Mercedes CLA boasting exceptional aerodynamic credentials, Mercedes has employed a stunt cat to slide up and over the CLA to demonstrate just how slippery their new compact saloon is. Already shown on TV in the UK at the weekend (during the new series of Britain’s Got Talent), the moggie in question – William, apparently – glides effortlessly over the CLA’s slippery shape to a soundtrack playing Rossini’s Duetto buffo di due gatti (which you may not think you know, but you do).
