This is a bizarre exotic car story indeed…but leave it to recently deceased English media mogul Sir Jimmy Savile to make headlines posthumously! It seems that the English television personality/disc jockey/presenter had a special Range Rover renovation done, allowing it to actually be lived in, and is about to hit the luxury car auction block in February.

Acura hit a homerun, or should I say touchdown, with the new NSX luxury car concept (following a lengthy lull in production, might I add). The brand nailed it once again with their first-ever Super Bowl ad featuring celebrity car collectors Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, see full commercial below!

Regardless of how you feel about he Porsche Cayenne, the model has achieved success in numbers, recently producing the 100,000th example. That is a large number, indicating its popularity as both a luxury SUV rental and presence in many garages around the globe.

Bentley is touting its badass side, offering up a new “Power on Ice” tour that allows customers to drive a Bentley over snow and ice. I suppose the brand feels it must compete with the likes of Ferrari and their Winter Driving Program, aimed to educate drivers on proper handling in all-weather conditions (follow link for full details and to see the Ferrari FF on ice!) Note: Bentleys can hit speeds of 205 mph on ice!

It seems that Lindsay Lohan spends more time and energy in legal battles than she does memorizing lines for roles! The actress has recently been slapped with yet another lawsuit, accused of striking a nanny while driving a Maserati rental on September 1st, 2010. Stories vary, some claim it was Lohan’s Maserati, others say it was a rental, the actress has owned a couple.

Deployed at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, the Falcon F7 sounds more like a military aircraft or private air charter, but it is actually a carbon fiber and monocoque fantasy. This car looks like an Audi R8 and a Ferrari mated from the front and side, and has some old-fashioned American muscle car appeal from the rear view. Overall, the Falcon F7 sizzles in both appearance and power, so let’s get down to specs.

The following compilation includes the top 10 strangest items, some luxury items, left behind at a not-so-luxurious hotel: the Travelodge. Some of these items are funny, while others are simply absurd—like the keys to a Ferrari 458 Italia. If one can afford a Ferrari, what are they doing in a roach motel? It is as insane as passing by a brand new Corvette parked outside of a trailer court! (You know you have seen this).

While the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO may be one of the world’s most coveted collector cars, the ultra-rare 330 GTO may be worth more. Ferrari made just two examples of the 4-liter V12 330s, and now one will be on display at the 2012 Concours d’Elegance in Amelia Island, Florida, giving gawkers a rare glimpse at an even rarer exotic slice of history! This car even has a bit of luxury racing experience, which only makes it cooler.

In November of 2011, Daimler announced that it intends to axe one of the world’s most potent symbols of wealth—the Maybach. Volkswagen AG (owner of Bentley and Rolls Royce) sees the opportunity to approach some of Maybach’s wealthy clients, including Jay-Z, Samuel L. Jackson, King Juan Carlos, Roman Abramovich and the Sultan of Brunei to perhaps capitalize from the luxury car’s cancellation.
