Ferrari Roma Spider, more on the new Lamborghini and V12 Zenvo ...
In an early start to Ferrari Friday, the Italian manufacturer has unveiled the Roma Spider this evening. Based on the highly acclaimed Roma Coupe, the new Spider is the first front-engined Ferrari with a soft-top since the Daytona Spider of the early 1970s. By using a fabric roof, there is more luggage space and the Roma Spider is also fitted with a patented wind deflector that is part of the backrest and can be deployed by pushing a button on the centre console. Like the Coupe, the Roma Spider is powered by a twin-turbo V8 that is good for 611 bhp. This is mated to a dual-clutch, paddle-actuated eight-speed automatic gearbox.
In a successful attempt to build anticipation, Lamborghini has been releasing teasers of the upcoming Aventador replacement. This week, it was revealed that the LB744 features a carbon fibre monocoque that is 10% lighter than that of the Aventador. The front-subframe is now also made from carbon-fibre, which represents a 20% weight saving. That means that the LB744 will be the first Lamborghini with a complete carbon-fibre composite chassis.
Danish supercar manufacturer Zenvo is finally set to replace the ST1 and TSR models with the all-new Aurora of which the first details have been published. It is due to be powered by a six-litre V12 engine that will be bolted to a proprietary eight-speed automatic gearbox with integrated hybrid drive. The Aurora will be available in Agil or Tur configurations; the first focused on high-downforce track driving and the other for high-speed travel on the road.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
