Rolls Roye Wraith – final tease ahead of Geneva debut
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Rolls Royce has revealed the final tease photo of the new Wraith – the RR Ghost Coupe – ahead of its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It started out with the reveal of the return of the Wraith name – and an ethereal image of the Spirit of Ecstasy - in the middle of January, followed by a shadowy tease photo a week later of the Wraith and finally a couple of detail photos of the interior. Now, for the final tease of the Wraith ahead of its Geneva debut, Rolls Royce seem to have gone back to the beginning, with a tease photo of the Wraith that’s just a series of a few lines.
Bertone Jaguar B99 GT concept (2011) at the Geneva motor show
Thu, 03 Mar 2011Bertone B99 GT – the racing version Next to the fully-trimmed B99 show car on Bertone's stand is an exterior mock-up of a GT2-class racing B99. Two additional electric motors up front mean the GT has 972bhp all wheel drive capability. A carbonfibre splitter, diffuser and flat undertray are matched with a massive bootlid wing. There's enormous side-exit exhausts for the range-extender generator, a 100mm lowering job and a lurid green paintjob. It’s an extreme way for Bertone to highlight the dual images of luxury and performance that Jaguar has in its heritage – particularly since there aren’t currently any saloons in the FIA GT2 series. Perhaps they should have painted it in a '70s Broadspeed XJC touring car livery to get the full effect. More details on the Bertone B99 exterior design Bertone claims that it has modernized classic Jaguar three-box saloon design with the B99, with Bertone’s design chief Mike Robinson and his team drawing inspiration not just from past Jaguars, but the stealthy big cat that lends its name and image to the brand. They coined the slogan "Cunning Glamour with Race-Bred Innovation” to embody the B99’s design… but from the two cars on the stand it looks like reconciling those disparate aims in the one vehicle may have been a bit beyond them. The roofline has been shortened and lowered in proportion to a conventional three-box body, inspired by a Jaguar cat stalking its prey.
Official: Aston Martin Cygnet axed – fewer than 150 sold
Tue, 08 Oct 2013Sir Stirling Moss was one of fewer than 150 Aston Martin Cygnet buyers Last month we reported that Aston Martin appeared to have axed their take on a supermini – the Aston Martin Cygnet – after just a couple of years. Now that news seems to be official after Reuters spoke to an Aston Martin source who also said the Cygnet sold so poorly that fewer than 150 were sold. That must make the Cygnet one of the poorest performing cars in any company’s sales history, especially as that fewer than 150 total was supposed to be 4,000 a year.
