Koenigsegg Agera R BLT Is No Sandwich

So, you have got plenty of money. You have checked the private jet, mansion, yacht and latest gizmos off of your “to buy” list. It is now about time you bought yourself a new daily driver. Something evocative that packs more power than god? Koenigsegg can help you there with the new Agera. But wait one minute! You know of a couple of people with some money and the last thing you want whilst visiting Monaco is the embarrassment of trying to get into a car that looks just like yours. The answer is to go and get a BLT.

No, not a delicious sandwich! Koenigsegg are well aware of your little dilemma and so have a division named BLT. If you have got the cash they will build you your own unique car that is sure to tick every box. This specific car is the 1,185BHP Agera R BLT. It has been built for a Chinese customer but is also being used to showcase the customisation options. The headlines on this model come in the form of blue tinted carbon fibre bodywork, racey red stripes, blue leather and a copious amount of carbon fibre in the cockpit.

Lexus LF-CC Concept Guns For 3 Series

Casting your mind back a decade, Lexus was a brand you associated with big luxury cars. The serene saloons that wafted along the road made for excellent business cruisers and limos. Today the brand has a much broader focus with their incredible LF-A supercar and aggressive F-Sport range. A smattering of interesting concepts have further shown the winds of change and what Lexus has brought to Paris this year is also of intrigue.

Looking very much like a BMW 3 Series coupe rival, this concept car might not be all that far away from a production variation. Named the LF-CC Coupe, it previews the new IS range that will feature a coupe. Visually enticing, the concept is a real head turner and suggests that a more sporting nature to the brand will become commonplace. Power for this 2+2 comes courtesy of a four cylinder 2.5 litre engine as well as an electric motor. Lexus reckons is can get CO2 emissions produced by this car down to lower than 100g/km.
