A Lamborghini Veneno took to a very wet Vallelunga circuit in Italy this weekend as part of the celebrations for the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo World Finals, which saw winners from all the Blancpain Super Trofeo series around the globe compete against one another for ultimate glory. This was one of the first times that a Veneno was shown on a track in public, and thankfully serial supercar spotter Shmee150 was there to film it. The boisterous sound from the car’s V-12 can clearly be heard, especially when the driver gives the gas pedal a few squirts in the pit lane. This...

All 375 McLaren P1 supercars destined for production are accounted for, which means if you’re in the market for a hybrid hypercar your only option left would be the Porsche 918 Spyder. Ferrari’s LaFerrari supercar was sold out even before the car was unveiled.

And now the P1 is sold out as well. If you're lucky, one of the car's buyers may cancel their order, but you had better hope you're at the top of...
