£6 million Aston



For those people who find owning a standard Aston Martin model just isn't enough, French tuning firm Star Electric Cars France (SECF) has come up with the Aston Super Sport, a limited edition supercar worth a whopping £6m.



The Super Sport's 5.4-litre V8 engine churns out a massive 950 horses, though SECF has not revealed any performance stats at this stage. Expect it to be doing somewhere in the region of 200+mph, and then some.


Only eight of these extra special Astons will be produced

West Coast Customs


Since the days of Pimp My ride, we at F2B have been massive fans of West Coast Customs and have recently been into Custom My Ride, which is where celebrities and average joe's give their cars to WWC to be transformed into incredible, one-off unique vehicles. Check it out on Discovery turbo at 8pm weekdays








Smashed-up Supercars


Back with a.....smash? Thought it would be good to start off again after our long absense by showing you some supercars that have been KIA since we have been gone. See if you can name them all

The future of Lamborghini

This is the Lamborghini Navarra concept – designer Adam Denning's proposal for a new V12-powered flagship model for Lamborghini.
To me it seems this concept has been based on the reventon and the has been given to the guys at West Coast Customs to modify

Ferrari 612 GTO revealed

This is undoubtedly the hottest concept that has ever existed – everyone else might as well pack up and go home as far as im concerned.

Has Ferrari gone and surprised us with renderings of its next car in its concept stages? No, believe it or not, this fascinating design study is the brainchild of Germany-based independent designer, Sasha Selipanov, and represents his vision for the next-generation 612 Scaglietti.

Goodbye Hummer, hello Shadow Hawk

Fans of stealthy SUVs will no doubt have felt a little tearful earlier this week following the announcement that GM's gas-guzzling Hummer is no more. But before we've had time to mourn Hummer’s departure from this increasingly cruel world (well, it took the Pontiac brand away from us, didn't it?) another US-based company has come along and unveiled not one but six amazing off-roaders that even Hummer lover Arnold Schwarzenegger would approve of.

Produced by Shadow Hawk – named after the comic book hero, which makes the marque even more amazing – these super terrain vehicles (STVs), referred to collectively as "The Hawks", come with similar equipment, and are only separated by the types of materials used in their construction and their purposes.
Take the Street Hawk, for example, a car that is described as the marque's "best on-road performing" vehicle, with a power output of 1,100 ponies helping it to achieve a 0-60mph of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 208mph. Since when did off-roaders go that fast?
And if that’s not enough for you, then perhaps the Batmobile-esque Desert Hawk, with its night-vision cameras, satellite phone and off-road lighting system, might whet your appetite? It certainly got us frothing at the mouth.
In terms of technologies available in all of The Hawks, owners can look forward to playing with daylight cameras, active suspension, driver-activated ride height control and 46-inch wheel travel.
