    The only thing that can outshine all of the wonderful cars that are displayed at motor shows are the heavenly models that stand beside them. And to be honest, you can't have one without the other. So here's a tribute to all of those beautiful ladies that make such events a much nicer place to be.

    This was Geneva's show stopper and arguably one of the best concept cars unveiled at the motor show. The 4C is Alfa Romeo's foray into the compact performance coupes (think Mercedes SLK and company). This wonderfully crafted automobile is made from a mixture of aluminium and carbon fiber keepings its overall curbweight at 1870 pounds. Couple the latter with Alfa's customary turbo charged 4 cylinder 1.7L Turbo engine pumping out 200+ bhp and the 4C is capable of 0-100 km/h in less than five seconds.

    Reasonably priced at 40,000 and globally set for sale in 2012, the 4C will be the comeback of the Alfa Romeo Spider charm.

    Today is the day that the new Lamborghini Aventador will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor show and as previously mentioned in my earlier post it will be a powerful car that will be contending with the best from Modena.

    The Aventador will sport a V12 Engine that can churn out 691 horses out of its wonderfully crafted exhaust. All the while, it will be the first Lamborghini to have a monocoque, in other words, a unibody cockpit. The latter was made through a collaboration with Boeing, constructed entirely out of carbon fiber, and weighs in at 321.4 pounds making the Aventador a lighter and more powerful car compared to its predecessor the Murcielago.

    But what we've learnt from experience is that all of that power in the hands of the average driver is a recipe for disaster (judging by the numerous youtube videos out there). And if you were thinking : "Oh a carbon fiber body. That can't be fixed anywhere if it got damaged." Then you are correct! But fear not my prospective Aventador owner, for Lamborghini will train three specialist that will fly to you and fix your precious car for you; they will be Lamborghini's flying doctors. Each of these specialists will be handed carbon fiber repair kits that will allow them to fix most of the carbon fiber damage at predetermined repair centers.

    Phew! Now you know the $378,995 you'll put down for this baby aren't going to waste.

    The Geneva Motor Show is getting more and more exiting by the day. Here's another car that is due to be presented during the event, the B99 Jaguar, which is a collaboration between Jaguar and Bertone an Italian house of design who has been in business for an impressive 99 years, hence the B99 title.

    This concept Jaguar will be a compact four dour sedan distinghished by strong and muscular lines that remind us of the Jaguars of old. Its rear end takes inspiration from the classic design of the Jaguar Daimler, while its front end looks to its most recent siblings for design cues. It will be powered by a full hybrid long range power system tuned by Bertone Energy (something Bertone has been experimenting with for a while).

    Such a collaboration is not the first of its kind between Jaguar and Bertone as they have previously worked together to give us the 1957 XK150, the 1966 Jaguar FT Concept, 1967 Jaguar Priana, and the 1977 Jaguar Ascot.

    Between you and me the Fiat 500 is one hell of a car. Last summer I had the opportunity to drive it and let's just say that it may have been the most fun I've had on four wheels in a while. On top of that, I think it's one of the Best looking luxury compacts out there with lucrative market potential, leading others to follow suit (i.e. Aston Martin's Cygnet). Many variations of the Fiat 500 have been presented since its release, the most notable of them being the Fiat 500 C Abarth. However, just when you though it couldn't get any better, Fiat goes on to collaborate with Gucci (yes that Gucci!) to create a one of a kind ride.

    The official unveiling will be on March 1st at their website www.500bygucci.it.

    But for now, you can check out its pictures and related merchandise after the break.


    What do you get when you cross a bull and a 700 bhp V12 engine? The Lamborghini LP700-4 of course.

    Lambo's new flagship ride is bound to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor, for which I now am beginning to regret not being able attend. Not much has been known about the car, and the spy shots, although gratuitous, only show the general form of the vehicle without giving its subtle design lines away. Nonetheless, we can see clear indicators of design cues passed over from two breathtaking previous models, the first being the Lamborghini Reventon, and namely for the shape of the LP700-4's front bumper, lights, and rear spoiler, while the second comes from the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento concept, unvieled last november, which heavily influenced the LP700-4's sides with the huge air intakes placed towards the mid-rear of the car.

    It's not everyday that a new Ferrari is introduced. And when it is, you better expect them to go all out. But I'm still not sold on this new car. It kind of looks awkward, beautiful but still awkward. Its lines scream for its rear to be that of a coupe, but yet it extends to become a shooting break. Also the ferrari red paint job isn't the most complementing of colors. It kind of reminds of the Porsche Panamera and how it only looks good in certain colors. Nonetheless, it still is a Ferrari, and a pretty fast one topping a 208 MPH thanks to its 6.2 liter 660 bhp.
