Lamborghini going Green

Lamborghini has committed to reducing their CO2 footprint by 35% by 2015 We’ve seen luxury marques such as Bentley reveal bio-fuel cars, and Ferrari is working on a number of initiatives to reduce its emissions. And now its the turn of Lamborghini to let us know the direction they’re heading. To be fair to Lamborghini, they are already heading down a lower emissions route.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid: First photos of the production hybrid

Toyota Yaris Hybrid in production guise Toyota has revealed the first photos of the production version of the Toyota Yaris Hybrid ahead of a public reveal at Geneva 2012. We’re still not really sure we understand Toyota’s policy when it comes to hybrid cars. It’s clear they still see hybrid as the future, but they no longer seem to believe that Prius is a brand to promote hybrid goodness, at least not in Europe.

Spy Shots: Could this be the 2014 Porsche GT3 RS?

Brenda Priddy & Co. sent us the above photos in an e-mail with the subject line “BREAKING: 2014 911 GT3 UNCAMOUFLAGED!” So, we opened it and found a few shots of Porsche's new rear-engine, mini Panamera in “all black everything” but sporting very little camouflage. If this is indeed the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the bodywork is either quite a bit more restrained than that of the outgoing 997.5 GT3 RS, or it's wearing bodywork that won't appear on the 2014 GT3 RS when it debuts at the Paris motor show in September.
