With winter in full swing, most supercars in Canada have been forced back into their garages. Even though snow is falling, ZR Auto is busy with new shop projects, car customization and extreme horsepower upgrades. The ZR Auto showroom is full of owner Zahir Rana’s personal collection as well as many cars on consignment. Though the ZXX sits dormant next to the candy-apple green Techart/Sportec tuned Porsche 911, spring is just around the corner, and it will be eating up the pavement once again.

This is what supercar tuner DMC came up with — an indescribable piece of engineering that we don’t even know where to begin. It’s already been christened as the Lamborghini Aventador LP1200-4R and in true Lambo nomenclature, the “1200” on its name is representative of the 1,200 horsepower DMC is capable of getting out of the exotic’s 6.5-liter, V-12 engine. Doing that, though, will constitute adding twin-turbos, as well as increasing the displacement by 1.2 liters to a mammoth 7.7-liter engine. To be clear, this is still a concept, and there are no hints of it being built and developed in the future. But when the company said that it could build a $2.5 million program for the Aventador and it shows something like this, clearly DMC isn’t joking. Source: Top Speed

Porsche’s second-generation Cayman only hit the scene in the past year but it’s already about to spawn a new variant. That variant is a hardcore GTS model, and is the focus of our latest spy shots. The Cayman’s convertible cousin, the Boxster, is also set to spawn a GTS variant, and both should sport a similar set of upgrades. Clear differences between this Cayman GTS and the regular Cayman and sporty Cayman S are the new bumpers. At the front there are new intakes and LED daytime running lights, while at the rear there is a new diffuser insert. The wheels also appear to be a new design.

We were all expecting the Urus, which seemed almost ready for production, to be a little closer than this, but now we’re hearing that the launch of the Italian super-SUV is three years away. Gives those who have the moolah — oil barons, rappers, pro athletes, etc. — plenty of time to stash some cash before 2017. We just hope this is worth waiting for.

McLaren continues to strengthen its Asian presence and it couldn’t have chosen a more popular place to set up its eighth retail partner in the region. McLaren Bangkok will be run by Niche Cars – one of Thailand’s leading luxury car sellers – whose showroom is in the capital’s Siam Paragon shopping mall. One of the largest shopping centers in Asia, the popular hangout is where the most Instagram photos were taken in 2013.
