DELAYED BY DESIGN

caterham-aero-seven-004

Originally scheduled to hit the production line later this year, the potent Caterham AeroSeven won’t go on sale until next year. The reason? Well, it turns out the Malaysians aren’t too fond of the design and we can’t blame them. Caterham Group CEO Graham Macdonald said that the redesign will primarily focus on the front-end while also adding a roof and proper doors.

DEALERSHIP TO BEAT

LaFerrari sightings have just recently begun cropping up, and a Munich-based purveyor of exotic vehicles already claims to have one in its inventory. If you’re the sort to sneer at 950 hp, the same dealership is selling an Agrera R, too (that’s 1115 hp of Speed Racer-inspired monstrosity from the twisted mind of Christian von Koenigsegg). All this slippery carbon will cost you roughly $4.73M for the pair. Source: Road & Track

The 240,000 GBP supercar will be used by the Central Motorway Group officers in the Midlands and has been offered by a local McLaren dealer.

SRT is adding a new Grand Touring (GT) package to the 2014 Viper lineup—as well as a new hand-painted Stryker Green color that’s bound to turn heads, if the unmistakable sound of the 640-horsepower V-10 and exotic shape aren’t enough already. The Viper GT, which will be shown for the first time beginning this week at the Detroit Auto Show, will include Nappa leather seats, as well as the five-mode stability control system with two-mode Bilstein Damptronic Select suspension—both items that had been previously offered only in the Viper GTS. In all, the 2014 SRT Viper Grand Touring could prove a compelling package that provides some of the ride, handling, and livability benefits of the GTS, without its high sticker price.
