Development of Poland’s Arrinera supercar has progressed with rapid pace since the project was first announced early last year. Since then we’ve seen Arrinera partner with British supercar legend Lee Noble, which included the merging of Arrinera with Noble’s latest startup, Fenix Automotive. Now, Arrinera has announced the final specs for its supercar along with the all-important pricing details. The starting price of the Arrinera supercar is a very reasonable $160,060 excluding destination charges and local taxes. That gets you a mid-engine exotic powered by a supercharged...

You've seen the Lamborghini Aventador J one-off hyper-roadster live from Geneva. You've seen the "making of" video. You've even seen its hardtop cousin on fire. But now you can get a whole new look at the J and its tunnel-running prowess. This Lamborghini Aventador J video is one of the best close-up looks at the car outside of our own photo gallery, with the added bonus of a high-revving soundtrack and some brutally fast (possibly sped-up) footage of the Aventador J tearing up a curvy mountain road. Impractical, incredibly expensive, and not for sale at any rate. Yep, we still want it.

UPDATE: The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series has been revealed. Click here for all the details. An AMG Black Series version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG gullwing supercar is coming and we’ve got an exclusive spy video of a prototype testing at the Nurburgring race track in Germany and on some of its surrounding roads. The car is the successor to the all-out-insane SL65 AMG Black Series from 2008, and we suspect it will be just as loony. It will most likely be called the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series and should deliver as much as 650 horsepower, though how AMG’s...
