Aston Martin Lagonda Given The Greenlight For Production

Remember the Aston Martin Lagonda concept SUV that debuted at the 2009 Geneva auto show? If you do, you might be surprised to hear that Aston Martin CEO, Ulrich Bez, has given the concept a green light for production.

The Aston Martin Lagonda has been stated to be an all wheel drive, sport utility vehicle aimed at markets like China, the Middle East.

As you see in these pictures, the car isn't that much of a looker but expect a complete redesign as the car didn't get a kind reception at its debut at Geneva and Aston Martin was forced to cut the project right away.

According to Ulrich Bez, the car will be developed with a partner and expect that partner to be Daimler as the Lagonda is based on the Mercedes-Benz GL- Class.

Mercedes-Benz SLS Gullwing Convertible Spied Almost Uncamouflaged

We finally have it, spy photos which show us most of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing Convertible.

The convertible remains mostly similar to the SLS AMG hardtop except the fact that it has lost the big highlight gullwing doors. That still shouldint deter a possible buyer because the car looks amazing with its top down.

The car houses a revised version of the canvas top which we saw being used on the old SLR roadster.

The top is electrically-operated and is made from a lightweight aluminium roof frame clad in canvas.  Expect a top speed of more than 200mph with power coming from the same 6.2-litre V8 used in the gullwing SLS AMG.

Expect the Mercedes-Benz SLS Gullwing Convertible to make is official debut at the next year’s Frankfurt Motor Show with a price tag of about $240,000 (£180,000).

What Happens When You Try To Turn You Camaro To A Gallardo?

An eBay user has decided to put his Gallardo inspired 1994 Chevrolet Camaro up on sale. As you can see in these pictures, the car has a face that not even a mother could love but if your intersested the car is up for auction with a starting bid of almost 4000 USD.

 eBay Desciption: "This incredible Rev Angel 300HP V-8 Exotic Replica Supercar was meticulously designed and handcrafted (light strong metal, not heavy fiberglass!) to resemble million dollar exotic supercars, without the costs, maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc.!!! It has a V-8 (300 HP- with the included intake plenum similar to the one pictured) LT-1 Chevy Engine with only 36,000 original miles which was replaced 95 miles ago!!! Also replaced recently (within the year) was the alternator, starter, and battery. It has a current safety inspection and emissions sticker and the title is free and clear.


This car will peal and smoke the tires from a stand still. It will virtually beat any tuner car, fiero replica, older corvette's or so called muscle cars. The rear wheel track has been widened by 4 inches with wheel spacers to accomodate the widebody styling. The interior is a sporty stock Camaro Z-28. Side windows have been tinted with removable 20% VIS. The dash is cracked (easily fixed by a $35 dash cover) and the driver side seat bolster is torn (but can easily be fixed by some seat covers). The lights and electrical work and the A/C blows, but it needs a recharge (the heater works great).

If you want Supercar looks (attention and compliments galore!!!) in a daily driver that you can have at a tiny fraction of the cost, this is the car for you! This is the time to do it, since financial situation warrants letting it go for very much less than desired! NO RESERVE!!! The winner will take this home!

Thank you for looking and God Bless You abundantly!"
