The Lamborghini Gallardo holds the record of being the brand’s best-selling model of all time, totaling up at 14,022 cars rolled off the Lamborghini production line the Gallardo will be a tough act to follow. But the 2015 replacement the Lamborghini Huracan looks to be a winner!
700 Lamborghini Huracans Sold
Before the first car has even been delivered to a customer, Lamborghini claims that 700 pre-orders have been made for the new model after an exclusive preview to their VIP customers. The production Huracan will be officially revealed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March.

The Koenigsegg One:1 in stunning detail!
A new world order…
As the dust settles from the 2013 ‘battle of the Hyper-Hybrids’, the world is once again hooked on the latest and greatest offering from the automotive giants. Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren have stunned us with their technological advancements with a conscientious approach to the ‘new world order’ of environmentally friendly beasts. However, despite the recent record breaking activities of a certain tuning company, a small Swedish companies fancies a go at the crown!
Cometh the Megacar…
That small Swedish company is of course the stunning Koenigsegg! Let’s face it, their current offerings of the Agera range aren’t exactly to be sniffed at but the One:1 – their self proclaimed ‘Megacar’ (because 1,360 horsepower equals one megawatt) could potentially leave all else standing in it’s wake, including the monstrous Veyron!
This is no Jalopnik…
More details of the One:1 will be flooding the internet, but for now, there are two things you should know. The first being the name, One:1 – which relates to it’s power-to-weight ratio, 1360 bhp to 1360 kg (that’s including fuel weight etc!) which is a remarkable achievement. The second, is even more stunning, it has a rumored top speed of 280mph! Think about that… Two hundred and eighty miles an hour… Jalopnik had the pleasure of visiting Koenigsegg factory to get up close and personal with this mythical beast and like the good eggs that they are, they took GF Williams wiith them (one of the worlds best automotive photographers) to capture it in all of it’s stunning detail. Enjoy.
Enjoy The Pictures

Unsold Veyrons - 40 Just Waiting to be Sold
Bugatti say they wont make any new models until the 40 cars they have in stock are sold.
Unsold Veyrons
Of the 300 Bugatti coupes made, all cars found owners by the end of 2011, but the 150 Grand Sport and Grand Sport Vitesse convertible models didn’t shift so well. For that reason, Bugatti are still holding the keys to 40 convertibles which total £51m in value. Could Bugatti be dropping the prices on these models?
Veyron Dynamic Drive Experience
We are told that the French manufacturer will not introduce a new model, until these remaining cars have been sold. To boost sales Bugatti has set up a Veyron Dynamic Drive Experience in the USA, to give prospective buyers the chance to experience the car on the road and on a closed airport runway, which sounds like loads of fun.
We know we are a few years away from a new Bugatti model anyway, but if you know anyone that wants to buy a Veyron…it would come a little bit sooner if they all get purchased.

Sound with Power: Mercedes E63 AMG
Mercedes Mashup
Mercedes say that sounds have the power to invoke a whole range of reactions in people, and I for one agree with them, from your favourite music track to the sound of redlining an E63 AMG. They can excite us, and make us react in different ways.
Below you can see a video of how Mercedes are testing out how sounds affect us, in one of their latest adverts.
Sound with Power
Here you can make your own Mercedes Mashup. You can create your own sound track mixing the sound of the legendary V8 engines with samples of Tinie Tempah, Sub Focus, or even the Stingray theme tune.
