With its 600bhp-plus W12, the Conti does 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds, hits 200mph and costs over $100,000. Next to get the latest 911 tweaks are the GT3 and GT3 RS. Power stays at 415bhp from the 3.6-litre flat-six. Aston Martin is building what could be its greatest model yet – a hardcore Vantage. The standard car’s 4.3-litre V8 is set to be replaced by the 6.0 V12 used by the DB9 and DBS, with power upgraded to a huge 550bhp. But the $150,000 pricetag will leave buyers shaken and stirred! The GranTurismo was crying out to be made into a soft-top. It’s set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with power from the Coupé’s V8. A price tag of at least $85,000 is expected. The third new Aston due in 2009 will be the wildest yet. It offers a 700bhp V12 and a carbon fibre body, plus huge scope for personalisation – and costs $1.2million. The world’s fastest car is about to get even more exclusive! Two special Bugattis were launched in 2008 – but in 2009, the firm will cause a stir with the new targa-topped Grand Sport. The first example has been sold at auction... for 1 million.New 700HP Mercedes Super Car
There have been rumors for quite some time of a McLaren/Mercedes-Benz split from building high-end road cars.In fact, after the ambitious but not-very-successful Mercedes SLR McLaren, shared plans for a smaller (and more affordable) super-sports model were abandoned.
Instead, Mercedes’ DTM partner—HWA—has been chosen to develop and build the baby SLR. This new SLC will be based on the next-generation SL (code-named R231, scheduled for 2011), a front/mid-engine car with rear-wheel drive, in contrast to earlier speculation of a smaller mid-engine Mercedes-McLaren. A show car is under construction and will be displayed at Geneva next spring.Wednesday, June 3, 2009

The Farrari F430 Spider joins the F430 as the latest addition to the new generation of Ferrari V8-engined sports cars. The F430 Spider's innovative aerodynamics, honed to generate dynamic air flows to increase down-force and improve cooling, and the F1 gearbox featuring upgraded software, are just two examples of how Ferrari's technological excellence has been transferred from the track to road.
