The main evolution for the 2008 Model Year XJR is its new exterior design. Changes to the front, sides and rear give it a sportier, more muscular stance. Look for major changes, inside and out, for the entire XJ lineup coming with the 2010 model year.

ImageTHE ITALDESIGN GIUGIARO MUSTANG 

 

The Turin-based automotive design company Italdesign Giugiaro has several cars on display in Geneva including this New Mustang concept car. It presents an aggressive style with a shorter and wider rear end, a single piece of glass forming windshield, roof and rear window, scissor-type doors, and a new interior.

 

Delicious.

ImageTHE LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SUPERLEGGERA

By extensive use of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and polycarbonate, as well as an engine with an additional 10 HP, Lamborghini has produced the fastest Gallardo yet.

Named ‘Superleggera’ (Italian for ‘superlight’), the company claims the car ‘has the fastest acceleration in its class’. It reduces the plain vanilla Gallardo’s 4.0 second 0 - 62 mph down to just 3.8 seconds, a fraction below the Ferrari 430 F1. No maximum speed is quoted…but who wouldn’t want to find out for themselves, anyway.

ImageSPYKER C12 ZAGATO UNVEILED

Victor Muller, CEO of Spyker Cars, and Andrea Zagato, CEO of Zagato, unveiled the Spyker C12 Zagato, a limited edition all aluminium rear wheel drive sports car based on the Spyker C12 Spyder.

The C12 is powered by the 6.0 liter 12 cylinder  engine from Volkswagen AG and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds...but you'll want to drive it much slower than that so people can get a real good look as you roll by.
