Just in case its Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 isn’t enough to intimidate potential traffic violators, the officers from Dubai Police now have a Ferrari FF among their fleet. Like the Aventador supercar the Dubai Police just acquired, the FF will be used primarily as a deterrent for anyone...

The Lamborghini Veneno is, more or less, ridiculous. But it's a good kind of ridiculous. The kind that satisfies the kid inside you. Good news: it doesn't just look ridiculous--it sounds it, too. Powered by a 750-horsepower version of the 6.5-liter V-12 that's inside the Aventador (and the new...

Since its debut in Paris last year, there’s been little seen or heard of Mercedes-Benz’s new SLS AMG Electric Drive, which is probably due to the car not yet being confirmed for sale in the U.S. In addition, we doubt there will be many takers considering its 416,500 euro pricetag...
