Lamborghini to Introduce Rear Wheel Drive Huracan?

Image
According to Autocar, Lamborghini are planning to introduce a rear-wheel drive variant of the Huracan, much like the Gallardo did with the LP550-2, LP560-2 and the Balboni Edition. The head of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann has previously stated that a RWD version of the Huracan was being looked into.  “We did it with the Gallardo so it might be an option”, he said.  “We are a four-wheel-drive super-sports car manufacturer but why should we not do a rear-drive option?  We need lots of derivatives. Customers expect it and we always need something new to talk about”. The rear-wheel drive Gallardos were cheaper than the all-wheel drive alternative, but this is not likely to be repeated with the Huracan.  It is expected that the Huracan will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show which starts at the end of the month. source

An American woman has been hailed a ‘warrior not a victim’ after she allegedly fought off a teenager trying to rape her by biting off his tongue.

The biggest social network on earth keeps getting bigger.

Monday Facebook hit a huge milestone: a billion people used the service in one day, founder Mark Zuckerberg said in a post.  "On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family,“ he wrote.  "When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different.  This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it’s just the beginning of connecting the whole world.” The sheer size of Facebook’s active user base dwarfs other social networks.  And it’s an impressive feat for the company’s growth team, which has continually found ways to attract new users despite essentially saturating the market in its home base of the United States.  Efforts like Internet.org, which will deliver basic internet services to developing countries using solar-powered planes, position the company to grow its reach even further. “A more open and connected world is a better world,” Zucker...
