It was only last week that Hennessey had laid an unofficial claim for the World’s fastest production car title with its Venom GT, after it hit a top speed of 427.6 kph (265.7 mph).

Carmakers share so many standardised parts due to having common parts suppliers nowadays that if one of these bits turn out to be faulty, several unrelated car brands are affected.

The 2014 Maserati Ghibli midsize luxury sedan has just been revealed by the Ferrari-owned company that is on a mission to increase sales.
First it was a 1,200-horsepower Shelby 1000 Mustang, and now Shelby American have shifted focus to create the Shelby Raptor, a nasty-powerful production truck based on the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. It debuted at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
While it may look the same on the outside, it seems the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer EX has quietly received some changes under the bonnet. And it quietly went on sale in the UAE without telling anyone.
