Koenigsegg Regera: First Look (12 photos)
What do you call a car that's more super than a supercar? It's a question that needs an answer in the wake of this — the Koenigsegg Regera. Designed to combine the traits of a high-end luxury cruiser with the power of the fastest car on earth, the Regera has a combined 1,800 hp, with 1,100 from its twin-turbo V-8 and an additional 700 hp from three electric motors. Top speed for the 80 copies Koenigsegg plans to sell for $1.9 million? Maybe 270 mph — not that there's anywhere the Swedish company could really test such a rocket.

AP sources: Eagles deal running back McCoy for Bills' Alonso
LeSean McCoy will lead Rex Ryan's ''ground and pound'' running attack for the Buffalo Bills next season. Two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade McCoy, their star running back, to the Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso. McCoy had an inconsistent season last year after leading the NFL with 1,607 yards rushing in 2013. Buffalo's 2010 first-round draft pick told the NFL Network the Bills informed him of the trade, and told him ''they were going in that direction, pretty much giving me a 'Thank you for your service.''' ''Nothing has changed,'' Spiller said about his offseason approach.

Volcano Villarrica erupts in southern Chile (8 photos)
Volcano Villarrica in southern Chile erupted in the early hours of Tuesday, sending a plume of ash and lava high into the sky, and forcing the evacuation of nearby communities. The volcano, located near the popular tourist resort of Pucon around 750 km (460 miles) south of the capital Santiago, is one of South America's most active. It last erupted in 2000. A column of ash and rock particles shot up to 3 km (nearly 2 miles) into the night sky at around 3 a.m., said the national geological service Sernageomin. Some 3,385 people had been evacuated as a preventative measure, said Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo. (Reuters) Find more news-related pictures in our photo galleries and follow us on Tumblr.

Is the Mysterious Light on This Dwarf Planet a Sign of Life?
A NASA spacecraft has detected strange bright spots on the surface of Ceres, the dwarf planet it is expected to begin orbiting on Friday. Researchers, some of whom have worked on the $473 million Dawn mission for more than a decade, say they’re surprised by the strange brightness from Ceres’s otherwise highly cratered, "dark surface of fairly primitive composition," according to Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator of the Dawn mission. It is probably unique in the solar system. NASA’s hope in dispatching Dawn to Ceres—and to the asteroid Vesta, which it visited previously—is to gain insight into the origin of the solar system.
