Everything we know is already on Cars UK somewhere, but for those who’ve turned up fresh looking for Paris Motor Show news it’ll help to have a preview page. We will try to update this page as we get more news from the Paris Motor Show, but you can always get to the latest stuff by checking out the Paris Motor Show 2010 category which lists all the show’s stories.

Pininfarina’s new Alfa concept at Geneva motor show 2010

Pininfarina will show this new Alfa Romeo-based concept car at the 2010 Geneva motor show. The two-seater is a celebration of the relationship between two of the most stylish names in motoring, in a year that will have Pininfarina blowing out 80 candles and Alfa Romeo 100. When you consider the original 8C, the 1966 Spider Duetto, the 1987 164 and the 2003 Alfa Romeo GTV, it is definitely a relationship worth celebrating.

The newly developed super-hydrophobic and oleophobic paint manages to repel water and oil, which means stuff like everyday dirt, mud and rain don’t have the chance to cling to the car’s paintwork.
