On this fifth episode of Inside Koenigsegg, Christian Von Koenigsegg talks carbon fiber wheel manufacturing for the One:1. There have been aftermarket carbon fiber wheels made previously, but I doubt they have been built on this level.

Car Pron: New 425bhp turbocharged BMW M3 tested (Autocar)

The crew from Autocar review the latest BWM M3. It sounds and looks awesome. I'm starting to think efficiency isn't so bad. I'm also starting to think that the E90/92M3's are going to start gaining value for that lovely V8.

Neo-Vintage: 1991 Lamborghini Diablo (JayLenosGarage)

While you may not think this refreshed Countach is a vintage car, think again as this generation of Lamborghini's flagship is now ~25 years old. I guess it's more of a new-age vintage car, as most of the greats from the 80s and 90s are continually gaining grey hairs. Jay Leno checks out a lovely restored (and tuned) example from 91.
