After the Lotus-based Venom, Hennessey, the american tuner company modified a British sport car again, the McLaren MP4-12C. They tuned up the engine with two turbos (800HP instead of 600), and replaced some parts of the body. Looks nice on photoshop renderings.

Vincent Montreuil's favorite Alfa Romeo is the 1965 Giulia GTA, he tries to resurrect this car. What I really not understand, why he rendered a two-seater sport car instead a compact two-door sedan. Anyway, it's beautiful, even it's not Giulia-like.

The old one was old enough to retire, so Porsche unveiled the new Boxter. Who will be the first who render the new Cayman based on this?

Finally here are the first press photos of the first American Fiat, the Dodge Dart. Beautiful like an Alfa, maybe it will sell better than the Neon or the Caliber.
Lot of shots and a video on autoblog.
Not beautiful, but at least ugly. This was my first thought when I saw the first official photos of the new Dacia Lodgy.

The independent designers often fall into the trap overdesigning a car when they try to make a new model for a manufacturer. However the Lancia Imperiale from David Cardoso is so decent, it could go to production without any changes. It's true, it doesn't fit to the new (Chrysler) Thema, but it could be a nice flagship over the Ypsilon and Delta.

Audi doesn't make the S-version of its smallest car, because the S1 name tag belongs to the legendary old-Quattro. However, the 2013 A1 Quattro could worth it: four-wheel drive, 256 horsepower. Sounds good.
You can find 44 photos about it on CarScoop.
Yesterday the GM released a teaser photo about its new model, Buick Encore. It pictured a headlamp and the surroundings, but not revealed the whole car, some guessed the American version of the Opel Meriva. Now here are the leaked photos of the Opel version: it's not a Meriva, but a little, Corsa-based SUV. We don't have a clue about its name.

One day after the leaked broshure here are the press photos of the new Mercedes roadster. Why I feel it's only a major facelift, and not a completely new model?
