During a private event, the McLaren P1 production version will stay true to the concept car’s looks - scheduled to come out sometime next year.

During the show the P1 was said to be "97-percent final," will be retained for the production model. Including full carbon fiber discs with a mirror finish, vents in the fenders ahead of the front wheels, superaluminum wheels and at the back it will feature a tighter mesh design.

At the presentation, a McLaren spokesperson said: "This car is a production car. This is 97 percent of the car that you will be able to order. The only thing that we will add are some vents to the bumper to get some of the warm air from the radiator coming out from the side."

The last Lexus LFA has rolled off its production line, ending the 500 unit run of the supercar. The first LFA went into production at the LFA Workshop in December 2010.

The Lexus LFA #500 leaving the company’s Motomachi assembly plant on 14 December, it looks to be a Whitest White Nürburgring edition.

As a reminder, the car comes with a 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine. Acceleration from 0-100km/h sprint under 4.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 325km/h.

Future Lexus vehicles will reflect the technological skills gained during the development and the company’s LF-LC sports car concept that is anticipated to get a green light for showrooms in the near future.

Plans to launch a production version of the Jaguar C-X75 supercar has been officially canceled because of the global economic crisis.

This decision has been confirmed by global brand director Adrian Hallmark admitted that it would 'not be appropriate to launch a car like this.

"We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an £800,000 to £1 million supercar," said Hallmark.

As a reminder, the Jaguar C-X75 concept has been officially presented to the public back at the Paris motor show in 2010. The car expected to make use of a supercharged and turbocharged 4-cylinder 1.6-liter engine.

Jaguar claimed the car would be capable of 0-60 mph acceleration in 2.8 seconds, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 200 mph and it could also complete the 0-100mph sprint quicker than a Bugatti Veyron.

Bernar Venet is a French artist based in New York and was asked by Bugatti to help create something special for Art Basel Miami Beach.

Running across the vehicle's front fascia and over its flanks are dozens of mathematic and scientific formulas. These formulas are spread over a rusted metal-like finish, which is also a common theme of Venet's art.

Being based on the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, power comes from the familiar W16 8.0-liter turbo engine that produces 1,000 hp (746 kW) - a top speed of 252 mph.

"Bugatti is already a work of art in itself, one that transports both its beholder and its driver into new dimensions of reality,” said by Bernar Venet .

The German carmaker is planning considering the Audi R10 diesel hybrid supercar, using Le Mans-developed hybrid technology.

The car will compete with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari Enzo replacement, while the Audi R8 winning every race in the American Le Mans Series in its first year.

Very few details have come up on this new hyper car, but Audi hypercar could wear the R10 moniker and diesel-hybrid technology to the road.

“If we made this a diesel hybrid it could be a hot-seller. What always sells is performance - if it is quick, has low consumption and looks cool, I'm sure it would be a success,” Audi technical development chief Wolfgang Durheimer.

What is expected is a diesel no larger than a V8 power output of about 700 hp (522 kW) and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque, and construction using either a bespoke carbon fiber tub.

If this diesel hybrid supercar gets the nod, the car to hit the road until 2017 at the earliest.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 became the fastest production car in the world in 2005, and now the French automaker has confirmed that the Veyron Super Sport successor will be debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2013.

Chief Vehicle Engineer Jens Schulenburg told the British car site: "The big challenge will be reducing weight – we are looking at some incredible technologies, such as wheels made entirely from carbon fibre."

Bugatti will focus on lowering the vehicle's curb weight by 250 kg (551 lbs) and the car that will have 1,600 horsepower and hit 290 mph.

The new Bugatti Veyron Super will retain the impressive W16 quad-turbo engine, but capacity could be increased from 8.0 to 9.6 litres. Which will go from 0 to 62 mph in 1.8 seconds and achieve a top speed of almost 290 mph (446.7 km/h).

The Koenigsegg One:1 is yet another special edition of the Koenigsegg Agera was being built for a Chinese client with pockets that run as deep as the Mariana Trench.

In the images below you'll see a number of different designs, with feature carbon fiber wheels and a restyled front fascia and the rear spoiler. A carbon fiber fixed roof with an air scoop is also planned while the rear seems to have been treated to a completely redesigned rear end with matching diffuser.

The interior cabin will receive only minor modifications compared to a Koenigsegg Agera special editions we have seen before.

All in all, the Koenigsegg One:1 will be powered by the same twin-turbo V8 5.0-liter engine with a rumored output of 1,400 horsepower (1,044 kW).

Hopefully, AutoReviewBlog get to see the finished car before it leaves the factory and be delivered to this obscenely wealthy Chinese individual.
