Upcoming…Ferrari

Everyone loves Ferrari. In fact, anyone will dare to ride and drive even the oldest Ferrari because that would be a collectors’ item. That sets the difference. No one will want to do the same if it is ‘just another marquee’. What more if what you are going to ride is a prototype of this newest car from Ferrari?? What if one of the very few of this when the model gets released? Cool, wouldn’t you say?

New Bentley Models: Design Series China Special Edition Cars

New Bentley Models: Design Series China Special Edition Cars

The coming 2010 Beijing Auto Show will showcase two new special edition Bentley models based on the Continental GT. The Design Series China models incorporates some bold offerings from Bentley, foremost of which can be seen in the cars’ exterior paint (Orange Flame and Magenta Metallic).

Other than that, the said vehicles also boast of a cabin featuring a three-tone interior: a leather hide color mixed with some orange and magenta accent colors.

The catch here is this: the said models are exclusively for the Chinese market. With China as one of Bentley’s fastest-growing markets and the third most important at that, I guess it makes sense to give the Chinese this kind of treat.

The Bufori Geneva Goes to Geneva

The Bufori Geneva Goes to Geneva

Mini bar, Espresso coffee maker, and fine tea set with boiling water and sink—how about these in your car? Those are just but a few of the main highlights of Bufori’s newest creation—the Bufori Geneva.

That’s right, friends, it’s named after the Swiss City where it was unveiled. The Geneva features a combination of advanced technology and classic styling, power, and the finest standards in luxury.

Other than the mentioned features, you’ll also find a cigar humidor inside the car, as well as a safe for keeping all your important belongings. Adaptive cruise control, touch-screen monitors, and surround sound are some of its other features. The body of the car is formed from a combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar materials. Under the hood, it sports a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 engine that can produce up to 430 horsepower.

All that class, luxury, and power can be yours, if you hurry enough—only 60 units will be produced every year. If you’re in the United States, however, you’re running out of luck. The car will not be offered in the U.S.
