Video: Canadian Police Confiscate 13 Supercars after Youngsters Speed Race


Ocean’s 13 got away with stealing diamonds, earning millions of cash and ruining their adversary’s life. British Columbia’s 13, 12 young men and one woman, all under 21 years old, got away with racing each other, reaching speeds of over 125 mph (200 km/h) on a metro Vancouver highway with a $196 fine each.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced that the cars impounded had a combined value of $2 million. These are the supercars that were temporarily seized: 






  • 2007 Ferrari 599
  • 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
  • 2010 Lamborghini Gallardo
  • 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo
  • 2009 Audi R8
  • 2012 Nissan GT-R
  • 2010 Nissan GT-R
  • 2010 Nissan GT-R
  • 2010 Maserati Turismo
  • 2010 Maserati Turismo
  • 2011 Mercedes SL63
  • 2011 Mercedes SLS
  • 2005 Aston Martin DB9
According to a police report, two drivers would block traffic behind them by running side-by-side clearing the road ahead, while the rest would race each other.
“These drivers seemed to be looking for attention. Well, they definitely got the attention of the police” commented Lower Mainland District Regional Police Service spokeswoman, Cpl. Holly Marks.
However, the 13 offenders, of which only was the registered owner of the vehicle he was driving, will get away just with the ticket after being charged with “driving without reasonable consideration.” That’s because they didn’t actually get caught on the act, but the police acted on reports based from eye witnesses.
According to the Vancouver Star, if the police had been able to charge them with more sever offenses, they could have forfeited their vehicles!
Now, the young drivers will only have to pay the ticket and the costs of towing and storing their cars, which were impounded for seven days.
Guess when you drive a 599 Fiorano, a Gallardo or an SLS AMG, after this punishment you’ll just laugh your way to the impound yard…

The Lamborghini Reventon is like a sculpture. The automobile is expressionism. Nevertheless, the Lambo is not breaking the laws of aerodynamics. The Reventon is a brutal driving machine. Only 19 times is the exceptional vehicle to be built. Sale price: one million euros – excluding VAT. Small series is reported to have been sold out. Comfort on the edge: Lamborghini Gallardo and Murciélago sports car are also superlative. Lamborghini Reventon for the collector circuit of the “very few”.

McLaren Preparing New Models Including an MP4-12C Cabrio and a Lamborghini Aventador Rival

When the launch of your first and your second road models are separated by close to two decades (19 years to be exact), then you hardly qualify as a car manufacturer.
That is the case with McLaren: production of the extraordinary F1 begun in 1992 and stopped almost 100 cars later in 1998. Deliveries of its second production model, the MP4-12C, have just begun. Therefore, McLaren may be a big name in Formula 1, but it lacks Ferrari’s cache and experience in production models.
The Woking-based company plans to change this –and soon. The MP4-12C is just the first of a range of supercars that McLaren Automotive plans to launch in the next years –hence the new £40m ($63 million) McLaren Production Center factory and the brand’s rapidly expanding dealership network around the world.
Furthermore, as we reported, the company is planning to spend no less than $1 billion in the next few years to develop its new range. The brand’s managing director Anthony Sheriff said that McLaren has already spent £250 million ($400 million) in building 73 MP4-12C prototypes and covering more than 625,000 miles (1.0 million km) in development.
Obviously, you don’t make this kind of investment for just one model. McLaren even built eight crash prototypes to ensure that the carbon fiber monocell tub met all global safety standards.
That’s because it will underpin not just the MP4-12C, but all future McLaren models which will also feature a mid-engine layout. It may cost more to develop, but in the end, it proves more economical because you don’t have to invest in developing a new chassis or tooling equipment.
The 3.8-liter V8, 600HP MP4-12C, code-named P11, is positioned in the middle of McLaren’s range, rivaling models such as Ferrari’s 458 Italia and Lamborghini’s Gallardo. So far, it has proven a worthy, and in the track at least more capable, adversary. Moreover, McLaren made some last minute changes.
According to a report from Motor Trend, the next model in McLaren’s range bears the code-name P12 and is placed above the MP4-12C, as a successor to the 1992 F1 and a rival to hypercars such as Lamborghini’s Aventador.
It will deliver 800HP or possibly even more, but its weight will be similar to that of the MP4-12C because it will use carbon fiber in the crash structures and the body panels, which in the 12C are made of aluminum.
It will also feature more aerodynamic and electronic aids, such as active aero and brake steer, making sure that the handling matches the performance.
The P12 will be followed by the P13, placed below the MP4-12C and intended to rival cars such as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi’s V10 R8.
Each model will also have different variants: for example, the 12C already has the GT3 racing version, and an open top is on the designing board. Sheriff insists that all new cars “will be true McLarens. Everything we do will have performance and handling that’s the best in its segment.”
How many cars does McLaren intend to make? Its annual capacity doesn’t exceed 4,000 units. So if you subtract the 1,300 MP4-12Cs and, as sources within the company claim, 2,500 P13s, that leaves just 200 of the top of the line P12 per year.
When can we expect the new McLarens? Sooner than you’d think: the P12 is said to be shown in 2013, and the P13 just one year later.

Lamborghini is an Italian manufacturer of luxury sports cars and high performance to compete with Ferrari Modena with headquarters in the town of Sant'Agata Bolognese. The company was founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini (1916-1993) as a branch of his successful tractor factory Lamborghini SpA Trattori

Lamborghini history


Lamborghini was founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini Ellie a car collector, he criticized Ferrari Enzo for lack of performance in their cars, then Enzo angrily said, if you think the bad times because my car does not produce its own cas.  Ferruccio started with that in mind to produce their own cars, and give it a lamborghini emerged.
Ferruccio decided to settle in Sant'Agata Bologna and hired a number of renowned engineers to build their Lamborghini  cars, as was the case of Bizzarrini, Dallara and Stanzani.
In 1964 the first car was produced Lamborghini 350 GT model, which combined a chassis designed by Dallara with a V12 engine designed by Bizzarrini. The car was quite successful and was produced until 1968, after it was renovated in 1966.
In 1966 it launched the legendary Lamborghini Miura, designed by Bertone and Luigi also equipped with a powerful V12 engine. Also Lamborghini Miura has been a tremendous sales success, being produced until 1973.
However, in 1968 had been presented the Lamborghini Islero to replace the Lamborghini  400 GT which had emerged as the development of the 350GT. Also in 1968 appeared the Lamborghini Espada, the first car brand with a capacity for four people. Two years later the Lamborghini Islero was replaced by Lamborghini Jarama.
In 1972 Urraco enabled the Italian brand into the super-segment of small cars.
Also this year, Lamborghini sold 51 percent of its shares to a Swiss businessman, with the remaining 49 percent to be delivered to another Swiss in 1974.
In between, in 1973 the Lamborghini Miura was replaced by another model that also made history in the world of sport car characteristics, the Lamborghini Countach. This car had a very angular, aerodynamic design and was fitted with a powerful rear engine of 4000 cc and 12 cylinder V The car was produced with these features until 1988, when the engine started to have an engine displacement of 5000cc.
However, the company was for long in financial difficulties and in 1981 was sold to brothers Mimra, who revitalized the brand.
Accordingly, in 1981 came the Lamborghini Jalpa, which was based on Lamborghini Urraco, and in 1982 the Lamborghini LM002, new to the brand, since it was a vehicle for the Allroad. This Jeep was powered by a Countach.
In 1987, the U.S. brand Chrysler bought Lamborghini, and beyond the replacement of the Countach, began to prepare an engine to power F1 cars. The premiere took place in this car race in 1989 but never succeeded.
Since the replacement of the Lamborghini Countach, the Lamborghini Diablo was presented in 1990 with great success, remaining in production beyond 2000. At the time, Lamborghini had passed into the hands of the German group Volkswagen, which happened in 1998, having been associated with the Audi brand.
