McLaren MP4-12 650S hits the Web ahead of official Geneva reveal

Images of the new McLaren MP4-12 650S have leaked to the Internet ahead of a planned unveiling for the British supercar at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. Created in response to customer demand for an edgier version of the McLaren MP4-12C offering greater levels of driver engagement, the 650S runs a more heavily tuned version of McLaren's twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 direct-injection engine producing a claimed 25 hp more than the variant used by standard sibling for a total of 641 hp (as its name suggests 650 ps -- metric hp). Further details remain scarce ahead of the MP4-12C 650S's official public unveiling in Switzerland two weeks from now, although information passed on to prospective customers at a private presentation of the new two-seater held last week suggest it is also in line to receive a series of modifications to its seven-speed dual clutch gearbox, suspension, steering, brakes and aerodynamics -- all aimed at providing it with a more aggressive nature and added racetrack ability.

Lamborghini SUV confirmed

A senior source at Lamborghini's parent company Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, has confirmed reports suggesting that the Italian supercar maker is close to revealing a dramatically styled and luxuriously equipped SUV/crossover concept that previews its long-touted third model. "I can't comment in detail but the speculation in the press is largely correct," an Audi manager revealed when questioned about reports outlining plans by Lamborghini to gauge public response to a successor to the famed LM002 with a new SUV concept. Set to get its first public airing at the Beijing motor show in late April, the new SUV/crossover will extend the current Lamborghini lineup, joining the successor to today's Gallardo and the recently introduced Aventador in what will at least be a three-strong model lineup from Sant'Agata from 2016 onward.

Korean Grand Prix (2013) RESULT

Korean Grand Prix (2013) RESULT It has looked for some of the F1 season that Mercedes – and particularly Lewis Hamilton – could get stuck in to Sebastian Vettel and slow down his race to another world championship, or that Fernando Alonso could make progress by stealth and put a stop to the German. But that all seems a distant thought as Vettel cruised almost serenely to a win in Korea, despite his lead being compromised at times by two safety cars and even a rogue Jeep fire tender on the track. Behind Vettel, who won by 4.2 seconds from the Lotus pair of Kimmi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, the best Vettel’s closest rival, Fernando Alonso, could manage was sixth, with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes in fifth, behind Nico Hulkenberg.
