What is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest car movie series ever (we love the Fast and Furious series, but are they car movies anymore?), the Cannonball Run will be remade as a brand new movie very soon.

Porsche is 70! What is possibly one of the greatest automakers in the world today, the German auto giant has gone from being a small time sportscar maker to appeal to the enthusiast to an automobile powerfhouse making cars for a wide cross section of users.

What is possibly one of the most famous Ferraris of its era and even amongst the 250s, a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO bearing the chassis number 4153 GT has sold for a record $ 70 million. And before you ask, that is about Rs 469 Crore! The car has been sold to known American Ferrari collector David MacNeil, CEO of a company called WeatherTech that makes floor mats and accessories for cars. It is not uncommon to see classic cars go for a pretty penny. After all, as an investment, classic cars are regarded to be one of the safest bets and at the end of the day, you can also drive and enjoy them. The Ferrari 250 GTO has been on the top of the charts when it comes to 'the most expensive car in the world' with one selling for about $ 35 million in auction a few years ago and then another allegedly going for $ 50 million to a private seller. And now all these records have been smashed and how!

Lego is one of the coolest toysyou can have as a kid (or even of you are an adult) and in the last few years, we have seen the block maker come up with some of the coolest automotive themed sets that we have laid our eyes on. From the likes of the awesome GT3 RS to the legendary Ferrari F40, Lego has now launched yet another car based kit - the Lego Bugatti Chiron. With 3,599 individual pieces, the kit is rated at about 1:8 scale and is one of the more expensive Lego box sets out there. At 22 inches in length, 9 inches in width and 5 inches in width, the complex Lego set will be quite a challenge - a challenge we accept * hint hint * The Lego Bugatti Chiron comes under the Lego Technic lineup and is the most expensive and most complex set of its kind launched by the toy maker so far. And it isn't just a static model. Oh no! ... You can actually set the rear wing to its correct position by inserting a miniature 'top speed key' and even the pistons in the engine accurately move as with the real car. The car also has an actual working gearbox where you can change through the gears using the actual paddles on the steering wheel. And if that doesn't excite the 9 year old kid in my head, I don't know what will!

The McLaren 720S will share its garage with a long list of supercars including an extremely desirable Ferrari, a Mercedes-Benz SLS and a long list of Rolls-Royces.
