The Hennessey Venom GT hit 270.49mph at the Kennedy Space Center on February 14th, thus becoming the fastest production car in the world by beating the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport’sprevious record of 269.86 mph.

Bugatti and Hennessey has been fighting for the crown for quite some time now, and while this round goes to America, we all know car makers will only stop when people’s heads are starting to explode. After all, the game has been on since 1894.

 The Venom GT managed to reach 265.7 mph (427.6 km/h) before running out of room on the 2.9 mile

long runway at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California back on February 9th, 2013.

All good things must come to an end, so the Gallardo 

is packing things up and moving out of Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar spot to make room for a brand new baby. Rumors swirled about the name of this new supercar, and the final decision was Huracán LP 610-4 and not "Cabrera," as we initially thought.

The Huracán LP 610-4’s name is derived from a fighting bull from 1879. This Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed of bull was unrelenting and thrust himself into bull-fighting stardom courage and strong sense of attack.

This new new Lamborghini 

will make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2014, but it will also have more than 130 private showings that start in January. We expect to see it in dealers starting in mid- to late-2014.

Honda To Debut New VTEC Turbo Engine In Next-Gen StepWgn

Article file under http://www.livelifedrive.com/malaysia/news/view/197184/honda-to-debut-new-vtec-turbo-engine-in-next-gen-stepwgn

Last year, Honda announced that it has developed a new series of turbocharged direct injection petrol engines for small- and medium-sized vehicles. Dubbed VTEC Turbo, Honda's latest engine series will come in three sizes - 2-litre four cylinder, 1.5-litre four cylinder and 1.0-litre three cylinder.

The 2-litre VTEC Turbo is expected to make its global debut in the European market Civic Type-R in 2015, but there is no official announcement yet for the smaller displacement VTEC Turbo engines.

However a report by Japan's Nikkei says the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo will make its debut in the Japanese market StepWgn.

No further details were mentioned, but considering that the current generation StepWgn (below) was launched in Japan in 2009, and the fact that previous generation StepWgn models have model life of around five years, the next generation model may arrive in late 2014 or early 2015.

The current generation StepWgn is powered by a 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine that produces 150 PS of power at 6,200 rpm and 193 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm.

While Honda has revealed that the 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine will produce more than 280 hp (and still meets Euro 6 emission regulations), no power output figures are available for the smaller displacement VTEC Turbo engines. However it is safe to say that the succeeding 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo will have to match or exceed the current 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine's output.

2015 Subaru Impreza Gets Revised Styling, More Tech

Article file under http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1055018_2015-subaru-impreza-gets-revised-styling-more-tech

The latest Subaru Impreza range was all-new for 2012, so for the 2015 model year the all-wheel-drive compact has been given a mid-cycle update. Only the Subaru die-hards are likely to recognize the changes made to the exterior of the vehicles. They consist of revisions made to the headlights, grille and front bumper, as well as new side mirror caps. Unfortunately, they don’t do much to improve the look of the rather mundane sedan and hatch, especially when lined up against the latest Ford Focus, Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Golf.

 The story gets worse if you're looking for driver excitement. The sole engine for the entire range continues to be a 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer, rated at just 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a five-speed manual as standard with the more upmarket Premium and Limited trims getting a CVT as standard. As is the case with all Subarus except the BRZ, all-wheel drive is standard across the range. If you have your heart set on the Impreza's shape, we strongly suggest going straight for the WRX or WRX STI models.

As far as supercars go this might be the one to beat.

Labelled as quite possibly the most expensive car in the world, the gold Lamborghini Aventador has been spotted cruising the streets of Paris.

As fashion week starts today, the car - which is valued at around £4 million and appears to be from Saudi Arabia - was parked outside the Plaza Athenee palace hotel on the luxury Avenue Montaigne.

Sporting a distinctive 666 number plate, the gold-plated supercar appears to be the same one which has been turning heads in the French capital over the past few days.

Car enthusiasts have filmed the gold plated vehicle, which features a 6.5-litre V12 engine delivering 692 hp, driving through some of Paris's most exclusive streets.
