Porsche 911 Carrera GTS arrives

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS The news that the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS will be making an appearance at the Paris Motor Show before arriving in showrooms by December should be followed soon by an announcement that there is to be a Limited Edition run of a 911 Speedster. But one step at a time. As we reported in June, the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is a wide-bodied (44mm wider at the back) 911 which will be the most powerful ‘regular’ model in the 911 range.

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.
