The past week has been quite hectic, and keeping up with all the action has been quite a task. From price hikes, to new launches and new Dark editions, the month of July has kicked off with a bang. Let’s take a look at the most interesting news from the past seven days.

Bugatti-Rimac

Satan would be jealous of the offspring resulting from Bugatti and Rimac Automobili’s marriage. The famed Bugatti speed mixed with Rimac’s electric prowess can only result in one thing: goosebumps. Read more about this alliance here. 

Tata Dark Edition Additions

Arriverderci, Aventador

If you’re part of the sentimental tribe, this bit about the Aventador will probably hurt. Lamborghini has announced the last ever iteration of the supercar, dubbed the Aventador Ultimae, in what seems to be a fitting end. And it’s only available in limited numbers.

New BMW 2 Series Coupe

Bigger, better, and most importantly, touted to be more fun to drive. The new 2 Series Coupe has been revealed, with a rather interesting fact: it sits on a chassis that was initially designed for the 4 Series. To see the sedan in all its glory, head here.
