2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Sports Car Spider Concept

Pininfarina, an Italian car design studio, has released to the public the teaser image of their new Alfa Romeo concept. Pininfarina turns 80 years-old this year. As part of celebrating this important milestone the company will unveil this two-seater spider concept pictured here at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March. It will be presented as a tribute to its long relationship with Alfa Romeo. The unveiling coincides with Alfa's 100th anniversary so it is doubly fitting. The design has been managed by Lowie Vermeersch, head of Pininfarina’s style centre, and the rear reflects the old Alfa Romeo Duetto model, with its cuttlefish-bone inspiration.

2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept

A revival of the Alfa Duetto is an exciting proposition, and the prototype will be the same two-seater Spider vehicle. It will have a longitudinal engine placed in the front and rear-wheel drive. No production plan has been established as yet, so we can’t say if this could be an eventual replacement to the current Alfa Spider.

Apart from the obvious not much else is said or revealed about the car. But from this solitary sketch it can be noted that the current 8C Spider has some serious styling competition. The long sloping bonnet, two-door configuration and short rear overhangs are the main signs of a classic roadster. Whether this traditionalist approach will be kept intact with a soft folding roof remains to be seen.

Perhaps the Pininfarina/Alfa Romeo relationship is about to receive a new life. Hopefully the concept is as good, or even better than this sketch suggests.

2010 Tesla Electric Roadster TAG Heuer Sports Car Concept

With the 2010 Tesla Roadster TAG Heuer, on display at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, pioneering luxury Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer and electric carmaker Tesla Motors have teamed up in a worldwide partnership as the iconic Swiss brand celebrates its 150th anniversary.

The car's exterior color scheme is Foucault Field Gray, embodying the innovative spirit of both companies. The design was inspired by the new TAG Heuer concept watch, a technical milestone in mechanical movements, which brings technologically advanced art to life through motion.

Bugatti Veyron on sale for £1.2million 2010

One of the fastest cars on the planet, the Bugatti Veyron, is on sale in the UK - for a cool £1.2million.

It has a top speed of 253mph, one of the highest ever for a car designed for road use, and is the only one of its kind for sale in the UK at the moment.

Each of the 300 Veyrons cost a staggering £5million to build, so although this means a substantial loss on each one, Bugatti is said to be hoping it will emphasise the exclusivity of the brand.

British-built Acabion is fastest road vehicle

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo has been seen racing one in a TV advert for sportswear giant Nike, and footballers and millionaires are expected to fall over themselves to even get a viewing of the supercar.

There are thought to be only a dozen in the country, and it has taken pride of place at the Lamborghini Manchester dealership in Stockport and has already attracted a lot of interest.

"It would make an ideal Christmas gift but I think it's only going to appeal to footballers, celebrities, Russian billionaires or oil tycoons," said Mark Woore, sales manager at Lamborghini Manchester.

"You probably won't see it driving around the streets of Stockport as the insurance liability is too high.

"Anyone interested would have to go to our factory and arrange a test drive.

"It is awesome and a real piece of motoring history as no one will be able to replicate it. I won't be allowed to drive it. We have to keep it new for its lucky owner."

Security has had to be stepped up for the next week while the car - and its eight litre engine - remains at the showroom.

"We have to make sure it is very well protected so we have extra security including an alarm specifically for the area it is in," Mr Woore added.

However, the car's top speed is thought to be beaten by a 340mph "car", built with jet fighter technology and partly designed and built in Britain.

The Acabion GTBO reaches 300mph in just thirty seconds, say its designers, making it the fastest-ever road vehicle.
