First Fisker Karma in the UK auctioned for £140k

First Fisker Karma in the UK auctioned for charity The extended range Fisker Karma arrived at last year’s Paris motor show, and now the very first Karma to arrive in the UK has been auctioned in aid of charity and raised a bid of £140,000 at the Pratham UK Gala held at Camden’s Roundhouse. The altruism demonstrated by offering appealing cars for charity auctions is to be commended, especially from a young - and relatively impoverished - outfit like Henrik Fisker’s eponymous company. Yes, there’s a bit of publicity to be garnered for the Karma, but good on Henrik for offering up the first Karma to charity.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: Photo leaks

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Leaked Photo So far, we’ve had every sort of Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 story you could imagine in the run-up to a new car launch, from speculation over the name to disguised cars running around Europe, and all the way on to last week’s ‘Official’ spy video of the LP700-4. Now, with just a week to go before the Geneva Motor Show – and print media wanting to get their copies on to newsstands as the LP700-4 launches, the chances of a leak or three increase hugely. We’ve benefited once or twice from anonymous photos of new cars in our Inbox, but today its the turn of WCF who’ve had a scan drop in of Evo’s Croatian edition showing a top view of the new Lamborghini from a reader.

Merry Christmas Car(d)s!

Bernie Ecclestone's 2009 Christmas Card Just like last year, we’ve chosen to use Bernie Ecclestone‘s personal Christmas card to headline our Yuletide good wishes to you, dear reader. Bernie likes to make an amusing point or two when he commissions his Christmas cards, and this year is no different. Last year saw Bernie dig at Max Mosley and his ‘Recreational’ habits, and this year he picks the story of F1 2009 as its theme.
