W Motors had debuted it's Lykan Hypersport supercar after a one-month delay.  It made it's first public appearance at the 2013 Qatar Motor Show.  Only seven Lykans will be built, each priced at $3.4 million US dollars.  It features diamond encrusted headlamps, a gold-plated hood, a carbon fiber chassis, gold-stitched leather seats and a holographic display. This to me sounds like a good way to spend $3.4 million.
Companies such as RUF, Viotti, Studiotorino, Magna Steyr Italia and ID4MOTION have had parts in the Lykan.  The Lykan is said to have a 750HP twin-turbo flat-six with 737 lb-ft mounted amid ship.  It is said to sprint from 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds on to an astonishing 245 MPH top speed.  It looks good too.

The already very powerful 552HP twin-turbo V8 in the RS6 is going to be getting a power increase to at the very least 600HP.  The previous Avant Plus from 2004 was limited to 999 examples, but this one will be a complete production model.  The Plus is also said to be lightened and have a suspension set-up similar to that of the R8 V10.

It might surprise you, but Subaru does not currently offer a hybrid.  Subaru may be debuting it's first hybrid at the New York Auto Show.  Subaru did preview a hybrid at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.  It had a 2.0L boxer engine with an electric motor producing 13HP.  The battery was recharged by brake energy recovery systems, similar to the KERS system in Formula 1.
