In what’s quickly becoming the most cryptic car release ever, a third picture has been revealed supposedly from the Lambo-Power forums which shows what the cars tail lights look like. Theres also speculation that the car could be called the Urus. The new teaser was released with the tag-line ‘A new Lamborghini. The elegant realisation of technical potential’. Now we know that the car could potentially be front engined with a diffuser and sleek, Aston Martin style tail lights. It seems most likely the car will be a saloon.

German tuner IMSA have just released new images of their kit for the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster. The modifications include an agressive new body-kit with some aggressive new air intakes over the wheel arch and front bumper, not only this but theres a new wide bodykit, a carbon difuser and rear spoiler all adding insane amounts of attitude. Theres a modest power increase also, taking the power up to 708hp, lifting the top speed over 217mph. This is due to the mixture of the aerodynamics and the power increase made possible by a new high flow exhaust. The final items are the glossy black wheels and the new orange (!) interior to complete the makeover. Enjoy the pictures.

In-keeping with the cryptic theme surrounding this years Paris Motorshow and the car industry in general (Lamborghini, Porsche and Aston Martin have all done it) Maserati released a message via their website last night to tell us all to be supprised. The website also gives you a choice of what to guess for, a new car, a new advertising campaign, a new website, a new concept store, a new headquarters, a new trident logo, a new testomonial or a new logo. My vote’s gone in a new car, just like 46% of other visiters currently, which one are you going to pick?

The cars figures are 602 hp at 6,500 rpm and 571 lb-ft of torque at 5,300 rpm which is far above that of more exotic machinery.

With the current economic climate, record setting auction results are hardly the expected headlines, yet we have a second in the space of just a year! A Ferrari 250 GTO was sold at auction to an English buyer recently for a staggering €20 million (£15.7 million) taking the crown from the California Spyder sold to Chris Evans at just over €7 million. The 250 GTO is one of the most desirable Ferraris with only 39 examples known to have been built, it’s rare that any of these come up for sale at auction therefore this sale attracted a lot of attention from Ferrrari enthusiasts. The car in question was a 1963 car (mid-way through it’s 1962-64 production run) and boasts a V12 and 302bhp. Were unsure where the auction was or by which company though at the moment.

Lamborghini released a new teaser leading up to the release of a new Lamborghini model at the Paris Motorshow. The first teaser showed the back of the car including a new two part exhaust, this time Lamborghini shows us a bit of the front and the left-front wheel. The front looks very round, unlike the Gallardo and the Murcielago, and it has made us even more curious about the new car. What do you think it is?

The American company are still working on the mechanicals side of the package, an ECU tune, new exhaust and sports catalysts, but the styling is fully complete. At the moment noticeable additions are a new front and rear spoiler which have been proven to increase downforce and aerodynamics, helping the car to reach speeds of over 199mph (320kph) and still maintain stability. Cosmetic upgrades, such as the wheels, also feature heavily in the new package.
