Forbes showcases top ten most expensive cars, seven available on James
Don’t you just love lists? I’m not sure why, but there’s just something really neat about lists. Especially in the luxury world, where things, far too often, are measured towards one another with reference to their prices. Personally, I think it’s rather silly to just look at the price tag. After all, you do not always... »
Lamborghini Conquisto SUV Concept
As maker some of the most exotically, not to say flamboyantly styled supercars on the market, no one could accuse Lamborghini of taking a nap in the design department. That only seems to spur on design students however who would make them even more outlandish; witness Slavche Tanevsky’s Batmobile-esque Ankonian concept we told you... »

Italian police force showing off their driving proficiency
The few times that I’ve been in the backseat of a car on some autostrada in Italy have, without exceptions, been near-death experiences. Other than that everyone seems to be treat speed limits as some sort of personal challenge designed to be broken as quickly as possible along with the fact that the talking-on-cell-phone ban is... »
Wheelsandmore Lamborghini LP 620 YarroW
As James Spotting followers well know, tuning exotic autos can be a two way street. Actually, sometimes it can be a one-way street, with the vehicle in question being driven very fast in the wrong direction. That’s the case with awkwardly-named German tuner Wheelsandmore’s Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4, dubbed the “YarroW” – a contraction... »

McLaren MP4-12C – Just Good Enough?
Probably the most anticipated supercar launch of the last 15 years has failed to move me like it should have.
