McLaren MP4-12C Joins Dubai Police FleetOne thing we've learned over the last few years is that the Dubai police fleet is not one to mess with. The United Arab Emirates might have more than their fair share of open desert roads down which the nation's wealthy residents can test their supercars, but the police are hardly ill-equipped to...

In the fourth episode of the rather odd teaser series called "The Hexagon Project," Lamborghini finally takes the wraps off the brand-new Huracán LP 610-4. The teasing is over. Now it's time to burn some rubber. The first three episodes followed the journey of a couple of guys as they travel to the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, sneak into the building, find the Huracán, and finally, in the fourth episode, drive. Hard. The duo hoons the Huracán, really. There's no other way to describe it, except perhaps as auditory awesomeness wrapped in a coating of...

It's due for a replacement, and this is it: the Huracan. Or is it the Cabrera? We'll know for sure soon enough. Huracan is the current best guess at the Gallardo replacement's name these days...

Is McLaren about to do away completely with windshield wipers? According to comments made by the sports car manufacturer’s chief designer, that may just be the case. Speaking recently with the Sunday Times (via CarsUK), Frank Stephenson said his employer is developing a system that can repel material from a windshield by creating a force field using high-frequency sound waves. Such systems were originally created by the military for use on fighter jets. Stephenson didn’t go into detail but explained that an ultrasonic transducer on the screen could send 30 kHz waves of ultrasound...

Bye Bye Gallardo, New Lamborghini To Be Named Huracán: ReportIn supercar terms, Lamborghini's Gallardo is positively ancient.

One of the most stunning cars shown this year, the Mercedes-Benz Vision Gran Turismo concept, was developed purely for the virtual world, as it was commissioned by the creators of the popular Gran Turismo for the recently launched sixth instalment of the popular racing sim. Sadly, this meant a production version of the Vision GT would never be, or at least that’s what we thought. A company specializing in custom rides has posted an add on luxury retailer James Edition offering a Vision GT for the princely sum of $1.5 million. That company is Florida-based J & S World Wide Holdings...

McLaren P1 takes on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, goes sub-7.0 minutesEpic is a word that gets used a lot on the Internet. Overused, really. It should be reserved for things like this, the McLaren P1 attacking the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Unlike many of the fastest Nürburgring lap videos, this is not a raw in-car GoPro dump. It's a celebration of the...
