2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series Rendered


It's only a matter of time before Mercedes-Benz unleashes an AMG version of its new C-Class Coupe to rival BMW's two-door M3, but Carscoop reader Luis Silva from Portugal decided to craft a quick chop of the C63 AMG Coupe for our viewing pleasure.

The actual C63 AMG Coupe could be revealed as early as this year's edition of the Frankfurt Motor Show. Given that the two-door model is based on the current C-Class series, it's almost certain that the two-door variant will keep the 2012 C63 AMG Sedan's 6.2-liter V8, which produces 457HP and 600Nm / 442 lb-ft of torque in standard trim and 487HP with the optional AMG Performance package.

Kudos to Luis for the 'chop!

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4: Live Shots from Geneva


There's no doubt that the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is the worst kept secret of the 81st Geneva International Motor Show. In addition to a bevy of studio shots that were leaked online in the past few days, we now have live shots of the Murcielago's replacement from Geneva, courtesy of the folks over at Autogespot.

"We have just received from a friend a few exclusive photos of the new LP700-4. It is the Grigio Estoque colorded Aventador that will be shown on the press day on the 1st of March," Emil from Autogespot told us. And well, there you have it: the new Aventador. We'll have all the juicy details in a couple of days when Lamborghini officially debuts its new flagship model at the Geneva show, but scroll down for the condensed version.

The Aventador comes with an edgier design clearly inspired from the limited run Reventon. It sports a new lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, while power is provided by a brand-new 6.5-liter V12 engine churning out 700-horsepower at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 690 Nm (479.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. The preliminary stats make word of a -100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). Scroll down to enjoy all the pictures.
