Mercedes and Daimler crush 300SL Gullwing imposter

Mercedes-Benz Classic recently destroyed an ersatz 300 SL after the body was seized by German customs officials. The case began when a German company built a fiberglass copy of the Gullwing's body. According to a court ruling, the shape remains under copyright protection just as it did upon its introduction in the 1950s.

How much does the Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 cost? That’ll be from £180,720.

The new Lamborghini Huracan (pictured) starts at £180,720 It took Lamborghini a very long time to come up with a replacement for the Gallardo, but it finally managed to reveal its replacement – the Lamborghini Huracan – just before Christmas after a long and tedious attempt at generating interest in the reveal with a pointless series of teaser videos. We guessed that Lamborghini would be looking to push the price of the Huracan up towards that of its main competitors – the McLaren 12C and Ferrari 458 – and it seems they’ve done that with a price that starts at almost £50k more than the Gallardo did in the UK. The Supercar Kids have managed to get their hands on a price list for the Huracan in the UK, and it seems Lamborghini are wanting £180,720, plus £3k for delivery and £1,120 for registration, making an on the road price of £184,840.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: The Commercial

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 takes on the landscape There was a time in the dim and distant past (well, the 1980s) when advertising cars was easy – you just made them look as dramatic as possible and hoped viewers would think that buying the car being advertised would imbue them with endless cool. But then the world was made to feel guilt by a new religion which was even better than the Catholic Church at making its followers feel bad for anything in life that feels good – the ‘Global Warming’ believers. These descendants of the ‘Hole in the Ozone Layer’ brigade and the ‘New Ice Age’ predictors’ have managed to frighten a big chunk of the West’s population in to believing they are somehow to blame for our climate change, and in doing so have terrified car makers in to making anything other than fluffy-bunny adverts.
