Welcome to the first in weekly automotive highlights. From a new McLaren to a Lamborghini with a giant teddy bear on its roof, here are the highlights for the week of Dec. 4.

  1. McLaren have revealed the new 675LT Spider. With the same 666hp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 as the 675LT Coupe, it does 0-62 mph in just 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 203 mph. Limited to 500 models globally, sighings will be rare. Check out some photos here.
  2. Toyota revealed a race car version of the S-FR concept sports car at the Tokyo Motor Show earlier this year. Take a look at some photos here.
  3. An interesting story from way across the world in China, where apparently a Lamborghini driver was fined for driving with a giant stuffed teddy bear on the roof. Click here to read the original story.
