Bugattis
When it was announced that French luxury car manufacturer Bugatti would be rolling out the 16C Galibier, car enthusiasts who could afford the pocket-draining $1.4M USD price tag waited with baited-breath. As more pictures of the conceptual look of the car become apparent, we now also know that nothing will begin going into production until at least 2015. Amongst the changes from what they thought to be the early specs include an entirely redone rear end. As for the engine, originally proposed as a detuned version of the Veyron’s 1000+horsepower W-16 with twin superchargers in place of the quad turbos, will now be reboosted up past the four-digit mark. The changes reportedly come out of feedback from current Veyron owners, half of whom have reportedly seen and sat in the Galibier concept car already.
Honda nsx
The new Avengers film is a hotbed for paparazzi activity, with their latest snapshots revealing a lot more than just on-set acting gaffes. What can be confirmed is that the legendary Honda NSX supercar is back. CEO Takanobu Ito recently hinted at the NSX’s revival, when he revealed: “we’re making progress with plans for an exotic sports car.” While the car is still a prototype, there are several details that have been confirmed. Honda is working on a VTEC V6 engine of between 3.5 to 3.7 liters, while the twin electric motor set-up will be powered by lithium-ion batteries and employ a plug-in recharge system for a small electric-only range. The Acura-branded car will also have a weight-saving aluminum body, and is set to go on sale by 2014 priced at a Nissan GT-R-rivaling £65,000 EUR (approximately $87,367 USD)

2012 Maserati Kubang
With the Frankfurt Auto Show in full swing this week, there’s been an abundance of new 2012 models and concept cars leaking from all the big names. We’re doing our best to filter through and show you only the best of the best such as the new Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi RS 5 and Jaguar CX-16.
Outside of the sports car category our highlight thus far is definitely the Maserati Kubang. Using the backbone of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee (which also serves as the guts of the new Mercedes-Benz M-Class) the Kubang SUV is stunning, drawing lines from the GranTurismo and Quattroporte with plenty of sloping curves and luxury style. Under the hood, an 8-speed automatic transmission and V8 engine keeps thing moving.
