On April Fool"s Day...
On April Fool"s Day, the "Head of Mandate Avoidance", Dr Hans Uphoo-Gotit, revealed measures to combat imminent roadside cameras designed to catch drivers going too slowly. I could barely manage a smile, never mind a chuckle. It just wasn"t funny. While the Bavarian company has its strong points, comedy isn"t one of them.
Lamborghini revealed...
Lamborghini revealed its true colours at Bologna today ò€“ and it looks like itò€™s back to black for the supercar maker!
The firmò€™s show-stopping Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder made its world debut in LA sporting a whiter than white paintjob. But the dark Italian stallion was wearing black at the Bologna expo.
Powered by a jaw-dropping 5.2-litre V10 with an output of 560hp at 8,000 rpm, itò€™s lighter and faster than its predecessor. The 0-62mph sprint takes just four seconds and it has a top speed of 201 mph.
Its new direct fuel injection system means economy is boosted too, over its predecessor - CO2 emissions have been reduced by a staggering 18 percent.
If youò€™re lucky enough to afford one, expect to pay around Ò£150,000 when it hits UK forecourts.
