The McLaren P1 switches to Race mode on the instrument display
When it comes to producing world-class supercars for the road, McLaren attacks its projects with the same unwavering enthusiasm it uses to build championship-winning race cars. Take the eagerly-anticipated McLaren P1 for example: the car was only revealed at last September’s Paris Auto Show, yet a “production-ready” model will be displayed in Geneva next month. By anyone’s standards, that’s moving quickly.

A U.S. Government Medical Crop at the University of Mississippi Well, that settles that
Any attempt to segue into this post with a clever lead is likely to fall flat, so in the interest of skipping the cliches: a new study out of University of Colorado Denver and Montana State University shows that legalizing medical marijuana sales in various states over the past two decades has led to a nearly 10 percent drop in traffic fatalities.

In August, Infiniti showed us what an IPL G convertible would look like and announced—to no one’s surprise—that the convertible also would make it to dealers.

Fat Monkey Wikimedia Commons
A team at the University of Texas has created a fat-burning drug that doesn’t so much burn fat as it seeks and destroys it. Instead of suppressing appetite or increasing metabolism, this drug systematically destroys the blood supply to fat tissue–and in a recent study, obese rhesus monkeys lost 11 percent of their body weight when treated with the drug.

As a result, many of Audi’s and Volkswagen’s older platforms were handed down to SEAT so that they could create their own versions. One of those concoctions has just been unveiled.

Helping to flesh out its compact Astra lineup, Opel has now shown its three-door GTC model before its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall. The new GTC counters the larger, five-door and wagon versions of the Astra with a more athletic exterior design and sporting chassis upgrades.
Previewed by the GTC Concept that was shown at last year’s Paris Motor Show, the three-door gains its own design, more aggressive than either the five-door or the wagon, with a sharp character line running f…
