Hamann’s limited-edition Lamborghini Aventador sports lime green accents

From the factory, the Lamborghini Aventador is one of the coolest cars on the planet. Despite this, bespoke tuning companies have let their imagination run wild with the top-of-the-line Lambo, in order to take its cool-factor to all-new heights. Hamann Motorsports is a perfect example. It has brought its take on the Aventador to the Geneva Motor Show … and it’s a grey and green masterpiece.

The tuned Aventador comes with a matte grey special paint called “stealth grey” that looks so good; it ought to be a factory color. And that special paintjob is given a dab of lime green color that contrasts the matte grey. I think the color scheme is great – who honestly doesn’t like lime green?

The exterior is also spruced-up with revised front and rear fascias, featuring carbon fiber trimmings and spoilers, revised side skirts, and a new rear wing.

The bespoke supercar comes with a 20-inch set of wheels on the front and a 21-inch set on the back.

Inside, Hamann has continued the grey-green theme in the cabin and added green leather trimmed three-spoke steering wheel. The interior also features green leather on the dashboard, seats, and door panels.
Under the hood, Hamann has managed to crank another 59 horses from Lamborghini’s standard 6.5-liter V12 that brings the amount of horses in the stable to 750.

Hamann Motorsports has found a way to include lime green on a Lamborghini without making the supercar so loud that only Kanye West’s ego could drive it.

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work
Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?
Kia Niro EV Charging Port

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

Nearly all current owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are either satisfied or very satisfied with the experience, and 92% of them plan to buy another EV, according to a survey by the Global EV Drivers Alliance.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.
