Anyway, here are some photos of what the car would look like.

2011 Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid








Lots of companies are getting economic and producing Hybrid versions of their cars. One of these companies is Lotus.

They have came up with a Eco version of the Evora and they called it the 414E Hybrid. The car includes a 1.2 liter 3 cylinder engine producing 306Kw of electric power. Otherwise, it can reach 100km/h in 4 seconds.

The car will be revealed at next week's Geneva Auto Show. It will be available in two drive modes; Eco and Sport.

2011 Pagani Zonda Tricolor













To honor the 50th anniversary of Italian Fleece Tricolor, Pagani has decided to make a special version Zonda. I am 99% sure that this will be the last Zonda.

Anyway, the Tricolor is based on the Cinque Coupé. Aerodynamics are better and a few exterior adjustments (not including the beautiful paintjob!).

Finally costumers will have to pay €1.3 Million for the car.

The car is supposed to be revealed at next week's Geneva Show.

Pagani C9 Mule Spied













As you might have guessed, the
Pagani C9 Mule will be later on replacing the current Zonda. C9 is not it's official name.

Pagani has decided to downsize the engine from a 7.3liter AMG V12 to a 6.0liter V12 twin-turbos that come from the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series.

We are expecting the car to be revealed at next month's Geneva Show.

Mansory Ghost




Geneva 2010 is coming quick and we have one of the best yet weirdest cars; the Mansory Rolls-Royce Ghost. You have to be drunk to like the color schemes but it is not horrible...

The good thing is the engine; a ECU 6.6 liter V12 producing 565hp and 575lb-ft of torque.

Performance wise, the cr reaches 62mph in 4.4 seconds, which is .4 seconds faster than the regular Ghost.

One more thing; 5450 pounds.

The only person to like the colours would be a San Diego Chargers fan!

Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera Preview







Here we go again; the Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera story continues. Well, this post is going to be a fun one to read because we now have decent specs! To start off, we would like to thank JonSibal.com who provided the only possible photos available of the Lambo and TeamSpeed.com who also provides awesome photos. So, let's get started. On January 5th, Singapore held a preview meeting for the car and provided some interesting specs. 100 km/h is supposed to be accomplished in 3.5 seconds. Horsepower wise, there is supposed to be a 10hp upgrade bringing it to a total output of 570hp. Another notable piece of info is that the Superleggera will be 70kg lighter. The Italian supercar will be available in 6 colours: Orange, Grey, Lime Green, Yellow, Black and White. There will be an exclusive Green, Red and White stripe coming up the side of the car and into the air intake. This will represent Italy's flag. Superleggera will be written on the White colour scheme. Interior wise, the car will be available with green, orange, and yellow stitching to match the exterior of green, orange and yellow Superleggeras. White, grey and black Superleggeras will have the same option but with grey stitching instead. Even more specs will be released in March at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show.

Ferrari 599 GTO to be based on 599XX

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/04-ferrari-599xx-live_opt.jpg

Rumours started near the end of 2009. Ferrari was going to release a 599 GTO; a car combining the 599 GTB Fiorano and the Ferrari GTO from back in time. Anyway, the rumours are getting bigger and bigger and finally we have came up with more information. Breaking news today explains us that the 599 GTO will be based on Ferrari's previously revealed 599XX, a 599 GTB Fiorano race car. This exiting news was leaked by Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa when he explained the following to EVO Magazine. He said that the car could pretty well be produced 50 times in the UK priced at £300,000. Otherwise, the whole world will receive 500 copies of the car, being priced at $480,077. The racer could very well deliver 700hp produced by it's V12 engine and 100 km/h will be reached in only 3.2 seconds. The top speed for it is 349 km/h (217 mph). The Ferrari will be revealed next March at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show when more specs will be released. Stay tuned until then!

Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible Spied!

The image “http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Bentley-Continental-Supersports-Convertible-Spy-Shots.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Back in October, the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible was only rumoured, but it has now been spied and photos were provided by PistonHeads.com. The car was spotted with a re-worked front bumper and bonnet. The car could very well feature the same W12 Flex-Fuel engine producing 621 horsepower and 800Nm of torque. Rumours also said that it would be revealed at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show and we are pretty keen on the idea!
