One Lap of the Web: Cop-car guide, an inside look at Morgan Motors and the best hybrid cars

We spend a lot of time on the Internet -- pretty much whenever we're not driving, writing about or working on cars. Since there's more out there than we'd ever be able to cover, here's our daily digest of car stuff on the Web you may not otherwise have heard about. -- Just when we think everything is going smoothly when we're driving, those flashing lights pull up behind us.

Bentley uses 3D printing to prototype new designs [w/Video]

3D printing is changing the way the world makes things by helping people of all disciplines to enhance and refine their ideas cheaply, quickly and effectively.  Bentley is the latest carmaker to utilize the technology to fabricate and prototype different parts to see how they'll look and work on the finished design. Using 3D printers, designers can produce parts from the exterior and interior such as the grille, tires, headlamps and door handles as well as combine different types of contrasting materials, ranging from hard plastics to rubbers of different tensile strengths.  The technology allows the user to create a solid 3D object straight from a digital model by printing layers of material on top of each other. This process rapidly decreases the delivery time, as parts can be printed overnight, and allows designers to be more creative in their ideas because of the reduced cost. Bentley isn't the first carmaker to use 3D printing technology. Audi announced last year it was beginning to prototype vehicle parts using 3D printers.

More Lamborghini Aventador video goodness: Roman holiday

Hot on the heels of its apocalyptic drive video, the brand-new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 once again graces us with its presence in two new videos highlighting the sights of Rome and the Italian countryside. Not to be shown up by world-famous architecture and history, the new 700-hp $379,700 supercar casts a striking contrast against storied Italian landmarks as it shows its prowess in both city and country settings. The first video shows a spirited jaunt through Rome, where two Aventadors look perfectly at home.
