Bertone ordered to auction six cars from museum collection

A selection of six cars forming part of the official museum collection of Carrozzeria Bertone will be auctioned off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.

The auction is also a symbolic action: it marks the first time that any Bertone vehicles have been offered for sale to the public.

Koenigsegg Agera R World Speed Records now official (video)

Koenigsegg Agera R gets Guinness World Speed Record - Video One of the speed records set back in September by the incredible Koenigsegg Agera R has now been ratified by Guinness - 0-300-0 km/h (0-186-0 mph) in 21.9 seconds.

Clubs in the UK have sprung up all over the place, inspired by the success of the P1 Supercar Club, co-founded by Damon Hill in 2000.
