Watch the Lamborghini Centenario in Motion

Following its world debut in Geneva, Lamborghini’s latest limited edition hyper-car, the Centenario, was packed up and prepared for its trip back to its home in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Thankfully someone had their camera ready and shot this video of the process.

The whole thing is surprisingly problem free. The car never looks like it’s going to bump or scrape its nose and the team works remarkably quickly with this car, which is one of only 40.

The real reason to watch this video comes at the end, though, when the driver can’t help but rev the engine a bit. As you might expect from a naturally aspirated V12, the exhaust note is more than just pleasant.

The car, of course, is beautiful and was made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth. I think we can all agree that this is much, much better than a Google doodle.

As mentioned above, only 40 are being made. 20 will be coupes and the other 20 will be roadsters. Unfortunately all are sold, so you’ll have to wait until this 770 HP, 3,300 lb monster comes onto the secondhand market before you can experience it.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
