Lamborghini licenses insane limited edition Reventón R C car
Like the vast majority of humanity, we were never able to lay our hands on one of the 20 Lamborghini Reventón models the company built for the fabulously wealthy. We had neither the $1.27 million it took to call the car your very own nor the connections to be one of the few to even have the chance to purchase said Raging Bull. That’s just fine, though, because Lamborghini has partnered up with De Agostini to build a 1:10 scale R/C replica of the car for the masses. Well, maybe not the masses per-se – the company is only building 65 examples, so this ain’t your garden-variety Nikko or Tamiya.
Each one of the cars is crafted with impressive detail and features a 3cc gasoline engine mated to a two-speed transmission, a fully-independent suspension with hydraulic shocks and four-wheel disc brakes – all on an R/C car. Insane? Sure, but it’s our kind of crazy. Unfortunately, with so few of the cars being produced, we’re guessing they won’t be cheap enough for anyone we know to afford. History repeats itself. You can head over to the R/C car’s site for a closer look.

Skoda rallies to the cause with Monte Carlo edition Fabia
Some terms we use in the automotive lexicon are absolute. Others are relative. Take “subtle” for example. Most wouldn’t call painting a car bright red “subtle”, but when you compare it to the last rally-edition SkodaFabia we reported on, that’s exactly what this is. Whereas the S2000 edition Fabia vRS sported full livery taken from the company’s IRC-winning S2000 Fabia, this one’s decidedly more low-key, but not without its dose of flair.
The Monte Carlo edition celebrates 100 years of the namesake rally – and 110 years of Skoda’s motorsport program – with a red and black paint scheme. While the body is painted bright red, everything else has been blacked out, from the roof to the 17″ alloys, including the mirror housings, grille and smoked headlamps. The red and black theme continues inside with either black or red and black seats, complemented by black roofliner, and color-keyed steering wheel, shifter and handbrake lever.
Based on the SE specification and available with a range of engines from 1.2 to 1.6 liters, the Fabia Monte Carlo will make its debut at the Monegasque rally later this month. Details after the jump with photos in the gallery below.

Lexus LFA Special Edition Officially Revealed – As if this NEEDED to Happen…
![Lexus LFA Special Edition 00 Lexus LFA Special Edition Officially Revealed As if this NEEDED to Happen... [High Res Photos]](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/S57p1fKjaLI/AAAAAAACofo/IXBiY6S-BYQ/s400/Lexus-LFA-Special-Edition-00.jpg "Lexus LFA Special Edition Officially Revealed As if this NEEDED to Happen... [High Res Photos]")
Lexus feels the need to release a sub-model of its LFA. As if the car needs any more attention drummed up; enough people are drooling over this piece of engineering arrogance as it is.
Officially referenced as the SPECIAL EDITION (and not Nurburgring Edition) in the press release , it’ll be available in Black, Matte Black, “Whitest White”, or Orange.
The LFA SE will come with canards and a fixed wing in CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer); you know, to make it more unique than the other $375,000 Lexus down the street. Also, they’ll apparently help at the track aerodynamically.
Power is said to get a boost from 560 to 570 horsepower (ECU work, most likely), and the suspension is “high-power-only”, whatever that means. The Special Edition’s SWs (special wheels) will be shod in grippy rubber (Haiguripputaiya), which should help get the power to the ground through the re-calibrated transmission.
Whereas a regular LFA’s shift speed on a track day would be around 0.2 seconds, an SE owner’s rack day will get done just a hair quicker at 0.15 seconds.
There’s no word yet on pricing…this is the point where clever people would usually put “If you have to ask…”, but I’m not clever, I’m realistic. You just can’t afford it. That, or you don’t live in the right area with the right roads.

McLaren 12C Can Am Edition limited production
Prior to the presentation in August had already indicated that the McLaren 12C can-Am Edition with premeditation was developed to him later in production. That moment of green light than it is now. Construction will start in March 2013 and it is expected that the first customers (private) racer around the summer collection.

| Interior |
Down force
The Can-Am Edition is based on the earlier revealed and already active MP4-12 GT3. The McLaren Can-Am went one step further. First appearance, there was apparently enough to scrape more down force on the axes to generate. It is made entirely within the official rules and the results are impressive, as 30% down force gives the Can-Am Edition compared to the GT3. On the engine - the ECU - is also tinkering with the result of a total of 639 hp, 139 hp more than the GT3. "Huh, 139 hp?" Yes, the GT3 version has namely one hundred horsepower less than the first copies of the street version. Namely that meets or to the applicable FIA rules.
Lewis Hamilton
also worth mentioning is the vehicle weight of only 1,200 kg. By stripping the interior was much ballast lost. What is left, or in any other form is returned to the sport of course tubs (with 6-point belts) and a minimalist and purely functional center console. Cool racing wheel that is not much different from that of the F1 car Lewis Hamilton.
Can-Am
McLaren asks £ 375,000 for the M4-12C Can-Am who is keen to participate in the American racing series Grand-Am Road Racing, abbreviated Cam-Am. But participation in other (specific) classes is also possible. On track days the car without also doing well, so even if the car is not street legal, there is still plenty of fun to experience.
