Range Rover Long Wheelbase revealed & new Range Rover LWB Autobiography Black too

The new Range Rover LWB (pictured) will arrive in showrooms March 2014 It was always a give – especially with demand for luxury cars better able to offer an expansive rear cabin in China – that Land Rover would stretch the Range Rover to create a long wheelbase Range Rover. And here it is. Land Rover has given the new Range Rover an extra 140mm of rear leg room to make it a properly spacious VIP transporter, and seem to have done so without spoiling the Range Rover’s proportions; extended rear doors manage to look like they belong.

Render of the 2013 McLaren F1 It’s reported that the new McLaren F1 – know as the McLaren P12 – will debut as a concept at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in May 2012. We first revealed that a new McLaren F1 was being developed in Woking almost three years ago, but at that time it looked like the new F1 – codenamed P12 by McLaren and perhaps destined to get the McLaren 799 moniker – would arrive after both the McLaren MP4-12C and a smaller, higher-volume McLaren aimed at cars like the 911 and R8. By 2011 reports were saying that McLaren had brought forward the new F1 to 2013 and that it would get a 5.0 V8 with something around 800bhp, a carbon fibre tub (just like the 12C) and lots of electronic handling aids like brake steer and brake force distribution, ceramic brakes and a very low weight.
