When the Urus was first introduced it was said it wouldn’t be produced, because Volkswagen, which is the owner of Lamborghini, already builds the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg and soon will manufacture the Bentley EXP 9 F and the Audi Q8. After a while, things changed when a few patents appeared on the web, but only now we know for a fact that this model will see the daylight.

During the presentation of the Lamborghini Egoista, Harry Metcalfe, talked with someone from the Sant’ Agata company that confirmed the Urus will enter production in 2017. It should share its platform with the next-generation Audi Q7 and the Bentley EXP 9 F. This won’t be the first time the Italian company produces a SUV. They made the LM002 from 1986 to 1993, and only 328 were fabricated. Thanks to Harry Metcalfe and automonthly for the news.

This will be a winner – the new 2013 Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue.

Tudor were BaselWorld darlings back in 2010 when they unveiled their retro-tastic Tudor Heritage Chrono, a timely response to the demand for vintage-inspired chronographs, and one which quite rightly put Tudor back into the industry.

The Heritage Chono Blue 2013 model evolves the collection from slightly monochrome aesthetics, adding the vivacity of blue and orange to that handsome and dapper face.

The case measures up at 42mm across – a sminch larger that the 1970′s model on which it is based, but perfectly sized for today’s marketplace.

That delicious blue bezel is in fact bi-directional and features hour markers representing a second timezone.

Hands and markers are suitably chubby, there is empty dial space to be enjoyed, grippy pushers which beg to be fiddled with, and in the box is a choice of steel bracelet or NATO-style strap…. ’tis the whole package, is it not?  Thanks to Sylvia McElherron and thewatchpress.com for the news.

Just last year, Kanye West received a gloss black Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 from his then new girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Fast forward to 2013 and the recent announcement that Kim is pregnant with Kanye’s child, the rapper has prompted him to reportedly sell his beloved supercar with the help of Calabasas Luxury Motor Cars to make way for a new, child-friendly, Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG.

Despite Kanye West being captured driving in his Aventador – which was wrapped matte black just after he received it – multiple times, the listing claims that the car has only travelled 1,433 miles meaning this is basically a brand new Aventador!

It’s yet to be confirmed whether or not this is indeed as it features black brake calipers compared to the yellow ones fitted to Kanye’s, but it could in fact be his. Although it’s currently unclear the exact price the car sold for, it was up for grabs for $444,995. Thanks to gtspirit for the news.

The 2014 Range Rover Sport was revealed on the streets of New York City through a live broadcast event which allowed fans all over the world to witness the new SUV from Land Rover. And who else would be a better driver for the event than James Bond himself? Yes, Daniel Craig was the driver, and he did not disappoint!

The video shows Daniel Craig amidst some containers before the luxury SUV is lowered by a crane and he takes on the wheel with a timer so as to arrive at the New York Auto Show grounds in time. You shall get to listen to the acceleration and impressive exhaust sound of the Range Rover Sport. New York is the place it loves most as its predecessors sold more units in New York than any other part in the world.

How will the neighbors at the marina ever know that you’ve got a world-class supercar if you have to keep it tucked away in the garage while you’re out sailing the Mediterranean? The shipwrights at Strand Craft have the perfect solution. Earlier this year we brought you plans for the Strand Craft 122, and followed that with particulars of its availability. Now the shipyard has returned with an even bigger, more impressive design.

Meet the Strand Craft 166, a modern yacht that comes with its very own high-horsepower supercar tucked in the aft. The wheeled machine in question will reportedly wield a 620-horsepower V8, and Stand Craft claims that the vehicle will clip off a top speed of 189 mph. Of course, you could order your own choice of hot wheels be it Koenigsegg, Maybach, Lamborghini or a Ferrari.

It’s a fitting trinket to go along with a yacht that packs a hidden Jacuzzi tucked into the bow, a retractable fly bridge that tucks away the ship’s radar arrays when not in use and a whopping total of five state rooms. Each of the suites is loaded with 52-inch Bang & Olufsen TVs with iPad controls.

The power behind this creation is astonishing. It uses two MTU 20V4000 M93L, turbocharged V20 diesel engines, each outputting 4300kW, and, an additional Vericor TF50 gas turbine booster engine supplementing 4177kW. So all up, the SC166 superyacht offers 12777kW of power. Strangely, the top speed offering isn’t all that great, just 40 knots (74km/h).

The SC 166 comes with the option of having upholstery made from an exclusive Japanese Samurai tread leather. These custom designed leathers are woven from a bullet-proof textile made of Vectran fibres. Optionally all walls can be covered in Samurai leather to make it a bullet proof yacht.

A Grey Design press release recently summed it up perfectly, saying: Her low stance, enormous length and curled haunches give this vessel a dynamic aesthetic that is guaranteed to turn heads in the the most well appointed marinas. It sure would.

With the 2013 edition of the Moab Easter Jeep Safari in Utah just around the corner, Jeep and the Chrysler Group’s Mopar performance parts and motorsports operation have released info and photos of the six concept models that will go on display at the annual off-road extravaganza which began on Saturday, March 23.

This year’s collection of concepts includes five Wrangler models and a single Grand Cherokee, all of which sport production and prototype Jeep Performance-branded parts that were developed by Mopar.

“We created our new Jeep Performance Parts portfolio for extreme off-road Jeep fanatics,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar. “Jeep owners who are passionate about customization, performance and personalization will have a long menu of Jeep Performance Parts from which to choose.” Click here to see other models.

While some people are enjoying Christmas Eve with their families, others are busy posting on forums and leaking official shots of new cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA compact saloon.

A total of five images of the new Mercedes entry-level sedan including three of the exterior and two of the interior made their way online.

As was the case with the revealing CLA scoops in Iceland this past September, the car pictured here is a regular model fitted with Mercedes’ AMG exterior and interior styling packages and not the CLA 45 AMG, which will feature a similar aero kit but will do away with the “diamond” front grille

Being that it will be the first member of Mercedes-Benz’s extended family of A-Class-based compact models to be offered in the States, the CLA is anticipated to make its world premiere on this side of the Atlantic, possibly as early as next month’s Detroit Motor Show.

Naturally, the engine lineup will be shared with the A-Class hatchback offering consumers a variety of turbocharged four-cylinder diesel and petrol units, including a 2.0-liter gasoline powerplant with 208hp (211PS) for the CLA 250 BlueEFFICIENCY, and a heavily tuned version of the same engine delivering 350-horsepower and 332 lb-ft (450Nm) for the all-wheel drive CLA 45 AMG.

Mercedes’ newly developed 4AMTIC all-wheel drive system for cars with front-wheel drive will be offered as an option on other CLA models as well.
