Unlike other concepts, the Spyker B6 Venator is going into production, expected to be out on Autumn 2014 at $150,000. At first glance, I really thought it was a Maserati. Video after the break.

It is reportedly based on the Aventador platform, powered by a 740 horsepower 6.5 liter V12 with seven speed transmission. The Veneno hits the top speed of 220mph and achieved 0-62 in 3 second. It has a total new design with a lot of fins, flaps and wings like a transformers robot or jet fighter. You can owned this at $4.6 million. Video after the break. Read more…

261 MPG, the Volkswagen features a super futuristic body and running on both electric (27hp) and gas (a 47-hp two-cylinder TDI engine). Hit the top speed of 99mph and 0 to 62 mph in 12.7 seconds. The engine has only two cylinders and forks out only 47 horsepower while the electric motor gives another 27 horsepower. I like the Sirocco feel on front but the back is just too.. ugly. Check out the video and more shots after the break. Read more…

Are you fan of Porsche? If yes, here’s a book that you might think of collecting it – The Porsche 911 Book. This book is created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original 901. It is a 300 pages book with hardcover and it is filled with 250 gorgeous photos of models both old and new. And all the photos are taken by legendary auto photographer René Staud. Don’t miss this collection to your shelve. $125.
The introduction of the Porsche 901 in 1963 marked a milestone in automotive history. Although the name later had to be changed because Peugeot had patented having a 0 in the middle of car model numbers, the 911 didn’t let anything stand in the way of its becoming an iconic sports car. This success story spans all the way from the 901 and the Carrera RS 2.7 (which with its characteristic rear spoiler—the so-called “ducktail”— was the fastest production car of its time) right up to the current generation of the 991. For the 50th birthday of the populous 911 family, the famous automotive photographer René Staud, whose The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book has also been published by teNeues, showcases the most important models—all in his typically radiant and distinctive style.

Lamborghini has released their latest monster the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster which priced at €300,000. This monster accelerates from 0 – 100 km/h at just 3-seconds and hitting the top speed at 350 km/h. Powered by a 6.5 liter aspirated V12 generating 700 hp and equipped with 7-speed gearbox and push-rod suspension make the new Aventador Roadster a unique super sports car with no direct competition.
The engine hood on the Roadster differs from the hood on the coupé because of its central “spinal column” with two pairs of hexagonal windows connected at the sides as if they were hyper-tech armor plates. Their purpose is to cool the engine, drain off rain water properly and, of course, allow the beauty of the V12 power unit to be admired.

Subaru and Honda bit first, and now Acura has chosen the New York International Auto Show to reveal its newfangled tie-up with Harman. The cleverly-titled Aha infotainment platform — which aims to “make web content safe for drivers” — will soon be working its way into Acura motorcars, starting with the 2013 RLX. It’ll be part of a revamped audio system, integrated via Bluetooth and able to provide drivers with access to “tens of thousands of audio stations, including web content like Internet radio, on-demand music, live news, podcasts, audio books, Facebook and Twitter newsfeeds, personalized points of interest information and much more.” The Aha service is currently living in the US, Canada and Western Europe, and it sounds as if it’s working hard to lure in other automakers in the near future. Pricing details are nowhere to be found, but go ahead and bank on needing that Technology package when it comes time to approach the dealership.

Porsche knows better than anyone that it’ll take a miracle for owners of many older 911s to upgrade their classic rides, so rather than crying over it; they’ve figuring out a new way to milk stale customers instead. The head unit you see above is described as the “Classic Radio Navigation System,” and apparently, it’s designed to fit within the dashes of 911 motorcars built between 1963 and 1977. Simple plug-and-play stuff. In short, it offers a modern-day navigation experience within a radio that still fits the motif of those gorgeous pieces of iron, and at €595 ($776), it shouldn’t be a tough sell to any true collector. Word on the street has it that it’ll hit Porsche dealers next month, but no sounds of what kind of software is under the metal.
