Mystery Lamborghini to Debut in LA this Month

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

The Italian automaker will take advantage of the L.A. Auto Show, but the debut won’t take place inside the convention center.

According to CarBuzz, Lamborghini has confirmed it will debut a new car in Los Angeles this month, but it won’t be attending the annual auto show. The move is similar to what the company did last year, when it debuted the Huracan LP 580-2 at a special, private event before the L.A. Auto Show opened its doors to the media. The only details Lamborghini has shared is that it will be a “World premiere of the newest expression to emerge from Sant’Agata Bolognese.”

Based on recent spy photos, it is likely that the debut is the Huracan Superleggera, which spy photographers have seen testing numerous times over recent months. The company also trademarked Huracan Performante, which suggests a convertible variant of the Superleggera is also in the works. If the Huracan Superleggera coupe does bow in L.A. later this month, expect the Performante convertible version to be unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show next March.

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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
