went pretty great for Aston Martin during this weekend: next to unveiling the CC100 Speedster, the company also obtained a record auction price for a unique DB4GT. The car was part of the Aston Martin Centenary Sale at Aston Martin Works on 18 May 2013, which totaled a record total of over £10 million (more than $15 million), with every lot sold. The DB4GT was auctioned for an impressive amount of £3,249,500 (a little over $4,9 million) - the highest ever price paid for an Aston Martin at auction. However, this is not a regular DB4GT: it is nicknamed "The Jet" and was the last DB4GT to be built. The model is a one-off edition and has been designed by the Italian design house Bertone. The model was unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show. This unique DB4GT won a total of 12 awards, including first in class at Pebble Beach and the Hurlingham Club, and best in show at Villa d’Este.

Cadillac ATS Drives Big Sales In January
cadillac has announced yesterday their best domestic monthly sales in 23 years. January numbers saw a sharp 47 percent increase thanks in large part to the new ATS sedan.
Cadillac’s hope of attracting new buyers to the brand with the ATS seems to be paying off. A massive 56 percent of ATS buyers either came from competing brands or didn’t trade in a car. One-fifth of buyers were under the age of 35.
The ATS is a solid performer in the luxury sport sedan segment – sales numbers aside. The sedan has 50/50 weight distribution, rides on GM’s Magnetic Ride Control, and is available with all-wheel-drive. Power comes from three different engine options: a 2.5-liter inline four, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four, or the 3.6-liter V-6.
Both four cylinders offer upwards of 30 mpg highway and the 3.6-liter V-6 churns out 321 hp and 274 lb-ft or torque. Prices start at $33,095 for the 2.5-liter.

In one fell swoop, Volvo has unveiled the 2012 V70, XC70 and S80.
redesigned interiors
In one fell swoop, Volvo has unveiled the 2012 V70, XC70 and S80.
On the design front, the updated models feature redesigned headlights, restyled wheels, and new door mirrors with LED indicators.
Inside, the cabin has been significantly improved with higher quality materials and advanced technology. Highlights include a new steering wheel, a redesigned center stack, and revised trim. In the tech department, there's a new Sensus infotainment system (with a five-inch or seven-inch touchscreen display), an updated adaptive cruise control system, Pedestrian Detection, and City Safety technology which automatically brakes the car if a collision is imminent.
Under the hood, two new engines are available. The 2.0-liter D3 is carried over from the S60/V60 and produces 163 hp (122 kW / 165 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque.
On the other hand, the twin-turbo 2.4-liter D5 has been upgraded to develop 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 10 hp (7 kW / 10 PS) and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). Despite the extra power, Volvo says fuel consumption has been reduced by up to eight percent.
According to Volvo President and CEO Stefan Jacoby, "These cars mark yet another step forward in our determination to be the brand that best interprets what buyers of modern prestige cars want. Concern for the individual's well-being is the very core of our Scandinavian origin. On this basis we create a logical, intuitive and ergonomically optimized driver's environment that promotes a feeling of relaxed control."

chevrolet is scheduled to debut the SS performance
chevrolet is scheduled to debut the SS performance sedan one week before the Daytona 500, says Jim Campbell, Chevy’s Vice President of performance vehicles and motorsports.
The SS is the consumer version of the newest NASCAR Sprint Cup Chevrolet is racing and will be marketed as a low-volume sports sedan slotted above the Impala.
Not much is know about the details, but we know it’s built on the Zeta platform that already underpins the Holden Commodore (think Pontiac G8), Chevrolet Camaro, and Chevrolet PPV Police Interceptor. Power will likely come from the 6.2-liter V-8 already found in the other cars.
This marks the first time in 17 years that Chevy has offered a rear-wheel-drive sedan in the United States. The SS will be manufactured in Australia along side its corporate twins. It’s expected to go on sale in late 2013 as a 2014 model, and pricing will likely fall just above the starting price of a Chevy Impala of $27,535.
Stay tuned to Autotalk for our full-coverage of the SS unveiling on February 16.
