The plug has been pulled on the electric Rolls Royce concept, so pour out a bottle of your best million-dollar Russo Baltique vodka and move on! According to reports, Rolls Royce will never create an electric version of their esteemed Phantom…because not a single existing customer wants one. Fair enough.
Are electric cars merely golf carts to the super wealthy?

Perfection is simply not enough for some people, for example, SR Auto Group! The bold, aggressive and award-winning Aventador clearly needed a bit of tweaking (sarcasm)…and they stepped up to the plate!

Lamborghini has unveiled the Urus–a controversial SUV concept that has left rumor mills with smoking wheels! At first glance, the Urus’s front end is decidedly Lamborghini, but the pronounced SUV shape is somehow difficult to swallow from a sports car that literally hugs the ground! The name was previously rumored to be the Lamborghini MLC, but they pulled a fast one and renamed this bull.
This concept SUV marks the brand’s first attempt at one since 1985 when the LM002 emerged. Hopefully, the Urus will fare better than the all-but-forgotten LM002!

In an unbelievable and unprecedented move, Google has obtained a legal license to operate cars that have everything…but a human driver! The human element has been subtracted in Google’s “autonomous vehicles”, cars that can drive on Nevada’s roadways Kitt style (think Knight Rider)! Is anyone else creeped out just a bit?
I am not entirely certain I am ready to substitute a human chauffeur for a machine just yet…or if we should ever allow our exotic car rentals to be driven by a machine, but the good people at Google just may be onto something for larger cities. VIDEO AT BOTTOM OF POST
Look Ma, no hands! The big payoff arrived when Nevada issued Google the legal go-ahead to drive among the masses. Watch out, professional chauffeurs—Google may soon have your jobby-job!
