2012 Camaro Teaser

Camaro

Since Chevy has yet to reveal the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible at an auto show (it was supposed to debut at the North American Auto Show), they decided to post 2 pictures of it up on Facebook. So, for those of you who missed that status update, we thought we'd post the pics for you.

Lexus LF-A Roadster Concept

Lexus has revealed a roadster variant of the popular concept car, the LF-A premium sports car concept. This car has a V10 5L engine, powering it with more than 500 hp, and a top speed of more than 200 mph. It has a retractable rear spoiler for improved handling at speed. And, shifting is done via a sequential transmission with paddle shifters. I'm sure this beauty will have a pretty price tag attached it it ever makes it to production, but I wouldn't mind at least taking it for a test drive some day.

Lamborghini Says Bye Bye to Manuals

Yesterday, Lamborghini made an annoucement that broke most motoring purists' hearts. Just like Ferrari, Lamborghini has announced that it will leave manual transmissions to the history books. Car and Driver reports that the decision was part of the company's commitment to increasing the fuel economy of its models. In addition, Lambo plans on building ever-lighter exotics.

Don't plan on seeing any turbocharged Gallardos in the next few years, however. Most automakers are using forced induction to curb fuel consumption, but Lambo has no plans to add turbochargers to their engines.
