A few months ago Opel gave us a brief look into their newest creation – the Opel Insignia. Since then we have remembered the car – but it has not been solely on our minds. Opel is changing that and hoping to rekindle the interest with their newest teaser picture.
It is never a dull moment at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. We were hoping to see some truly fantastic cars and concepts and we were not disappointed. There were several different concepts to feast our eyes on – but none grabbed our attention more than Pininfarina’s Sintesi concept. The smooth edges and the sleek look of the vehicle was something that was not easy to ignore.
One of the many surprises that we received at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show was from our friends at Renault. They decided that telling us everything that they would be showing off beforehand was not mysterious enough for them and they decided to wet our appetites with only a few details. We knew that they would be revealing the Laguna GT, Koleos, and Twingo RS – but we had no idea what the fourth car that they would be revealing would be.
Koenigsegg has decided to give us a sneak peek at their new exotic CCXR and CCX Edition supercars at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. The two supercars have been talked about for the past three months – but having the chance to see them up close is something that we have yet to do.
The Bugatti Veyron is a supercar that became a hit among society’s elite and the wealthy. It’s ability to reach the speed of 235 mph and the fact that there are only 300 make it a prize catch for anyone. Yet, it seems that Bugatti isn’t quite satisfied. They have worked on improving the luxury of the interior of the vehicle and have even hired their old friends Hermes to help with the job.
Ferrari is making plans to open up a new store in Sydney, Australia. They are known for selling all sorts of different merchandise that helps to promote their Ferrari line. By 2008, an extensive range of Ferrari merchandise including the usual caps, jackets and shirts - will be on sale in a dedicated Ferrari Store, most likely in Sydney.
Saab is showing off the new 9-1 next year at the London Motor Show preparing consumers for the time when they will be ready for purchase in 2009. Saab is determined to show off the car in all its glory by giving it a dramatic design with an iconic shape.
The Mazda Taiki concept is an unusual vehicle that reminds you of a futuristic movie that you once saw. That doesn’t mean that we don’t like it just that it is always strange to see a car that defies the designs that we are accustomed to seeing everyday.
The Taiki is built for speed and minimal eco-impact and if it makes it to production may very well be used as a vehicle for racing. The Taiki’s dramatic curves are supposed to give you the movement of air around the vehicle as it speeds down the road.
James Glickenhaus, the movie producer who changed careers to be a Wall Street fund manager, has grown bored of his well known Ferrari racer and is converting it into something better…again! His new Ferrari P4/5 was built by the Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina who was commissioned to convert a brand new Enzo supercar into the modern look of the P3/4 racers from the 60’s.
Noble has been trying to finish production of the M15, but have been having trouble obtaining the funds they need for it. So they decided to brach their market and sell the M12 and M400 outside of the UK. This decision was met with great success and they were able to raise enough capital to accomplish their goal.
In the United States, 1G Racing of Cincinnati, Ohio purchased rights to rename and rebadge the car as their own, naming the new car the “Rossion Q1” while refinining the raw feel of the previous Noble version.
