NOT A LIGHT PROBLEM AT ALL

Ford’s decision to use aluminum body panels on the 2015 F-150 is coming back to haunt them as a report is indicating that problems with the lightweight material have pushed the launch back by approximately three months. According to The Truth About Cars, aluminum shipments from suppliers have failed to meet specifications so the company is having problems forming the material. The suppliers are now under pressure to fix the problems, as soon as possible, so Ford can prevent further delays and launch the model by the end of 2014. Ford has remain relatively quiet about the 2015 F-150 but previous reports have indicated the switch to aluminum body panels could enable the truck to weigh 700 pounds (317 kg) less than its predecessor.

DREAM CONVERTIBLE

There’s a very small chance that you might see this beautiful Aston Martin CC 100 on the road one day, as two of them were built for road use. The car was made in celebration of Aston Martin’s 100-year history and calls on the 1959 Le Mans and Nürburgring winning race car DBR1 for inspired design. The car was built in only 6 months (maybe that’s why it had trouble starting) and debuted at the ADAC Zurich 24 Hours of Nürburgring race this year, driven by Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez.

GALLARDO SUCCESSOR

“Only The Best” created this render which is being described as looking “incredibly close” to the actual car. The same source indicates the vehicle won’t probably receive the rumored “Cabrera” moniker after all and that it has actually entered production phase. It will not have scissor doors and will come with grilles across the entire length of the rear window, similar to the superb Miura. The back of the car will adopt a sharp appearance which will closely mirror the Aventador.

First “used” McLaren P1 already for sale? Alain Class Motors, an exotic-car dealer in the United Arab Emirates, already has a McLaren P1 for sale. At any rate, this yellow example is most likely the first P1 available for sale through a dealership. That’s a lucky break for anyone wishing to get a hold of one of the 375 units, all of which were thought to have been sold out. The price is inquiry only, but McLaren set the original sticker at $1.15 million.
