One last hurrah: the 1994 MG RV8

It's tough to imagine the British car scene in North America without the MGB, which remains a popular starter classic and is available in every price range imaginable--and some price ranges that aren't. The iconic MGB was in production from 1962 until 1980, an entire era that saw relatively few changes introduced to the well-proven design. The marque itself was overseen by three corporate parents during those 18 years on the line: BMC, British Motor Holdings and, finally, British Leyland.

Aston Martin One-77 Nurburgring Spy Video

The Aston Martin One-77 gets a run at the Nurburgring - Video below For real car lovers the ‘Eco’ push in recent years has left us a little perplexed. Perplexed and confused as we try to come to terms with the joys of a turbo diesel (and there are joys, much to my surprise) and the loss of big V10 and V12 engines in production cars. Thankfully, there are still enough wealthy people in the world who don’t give a fig about the opinions of the eco-mentalists and who are inclined to buy the best that car makers can produce, regardless of eco-sensibilities.

Lamborghini Veneno: Official

The Lamborghini Veneno, a limited run Aventador LP700-4, has been officially revealed by Lamborghini with dramatic styling and 740bhp. Lamborghini tell us that all three Venenos have already been sold – at a hefty £3.12 million, no less – and the Veneno is more a street-legal track car than just a titivated Aventador. The body of the Veneno – which is named after a particularly ’Venomous’ fighting bull – is crafted from carbon fibre and is designed to achieve optimal aerodynamics with the front splitter, rear diffuser, huge rear wing and a big fin running down the middle of the roof all conspiring to make the Veneno more aerodynamic than its Aventador sibling.
