Robert Kubica has finally been released from hospital following his terrifying February rally crash. In case you forgot, Kubica hit an Armco barrier, which punctured the cockpit of his Skoda Fabia S2000, nearly severing off his hand and casting doubt on the future of his driving career. Kubica's release is an important step in his overall recovery, but hardly means the Polish Formula One ace will be back in the cockpit any time soon. According to doctors, his recovery is moving along apace, but he still has seriously limited use of the injured appendage. The main concern is the extensive nerve damage Kubica's crash caused in the affected limb. How long the nerves will take to right themselves is anyone's guess. For now, Kubica will spend some time at home in Monaco before going back to Italy to start a long and extensive rehab program. It may be months or even years before the full implications of the crash on the 26-year-old Pole's F1 driving career are known, but we're glad to hear he's out of the hospital and on to the next stage in his recovery.

It took over nine years to complete, but the Spirra - South Korea’s very first supercar - is now ready to be unveiled. Originally the Proto Spirra, this supercar is now the Oullim Spirra due to Oullim’s purchase of Proto back in 2007. It wasn’t without any rough patches, but manufacturer Oullim Motors now has its eyes set for an unveiling very soon.
Powered by a 2.7-liter V6 Hyundai that’s sourced with four different outputs, the Spirra’s low-end line will produce 173hp and 245Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The next model configuration will come with a small turbo that pushes up the performance to 326hp and 471Nm, while the third level pushes the output even further to around 402hp and 490Nm. The highest end and most powerful version will come with twin-turbos that produce somewhere around 444hp to 493hp and a maximum torque of 539Nm. This top-of-the-line version also comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox and goes from 0-60 mph in just a little over 3.5 seconds with a top speed of around 186mph.
The 2,600lb Spirra is constructed entirely by hand using pretty expensive materials, like carbon fiber, for the supercar’s body. Seeing that the market for locally-manufactured supercars are still slim pickings in South Korea, the Spirra’s unveiling will be a breakthrough for a country that’s slowly making head-way in the auto industry as being one of the foremost producers of quality cars in the world.
UPDATE 04/25/2011: Oullim Motors has unveiled a video detailing all of the steps they have to take to build their phenomenal hand-built supercar. This isn’t your typical machine-made, mass produced vehicle; plenty of TLC goes into every model made. Check it out by clicking on the picture above, plus check out all of the new images of the super car in the gallery provided!

Jaguar not only brought the standard XF to the New York Show, they also brought the most powerful version in the line-up - the XF-R. This model has received a unique, assertive styling treatment that further differentiates it from other XF models.
The 2012 XF-R will be distinguished by a more aggressive bodywork treatment, a new front grille, a new hood, modified front fenders, and redesigned LED taillights. An "R" letter has been placed on both the front and the rear of the car giving onlookers the proof they need to distinguish the more powerful Xf from the standard version. If the badge isn’t enough then they can always take a look at the new exhaust system with four end pipes for instant clarification.
Of course, the easiest way to tell that you are dealing with a more powerful kitten is checking out what’s under the hood. The XFR comes packing the same 5.0-liter V8 engine but gets supercharged to deliver 510 hp. This engine is mated to an electronically controlled, six-speed transmission with additional clutch plates. The power is just enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.
