German tuner FAB DESIGN dropped two new Mercedes at Geneva that are without a doubt the most extravagant Benzes we’ve seen a tuner flaunt. The first, pictured above, is a modified SL dubbed the “Ultra Wing.” The second is a tricked out CL, renamed the “CL Widebody” because of its wide body kits.
While the names could use some work, the design schemes on these Benzes are off the hook. We’ll let the pictures explain themselves.
To keep the shock value coming, FAB’s priced the SL Ultra Wing at 195,000€ ($296,439) and the CL at 220,000€ ($334,000). And the CL’s already been snapped up unfortunately.

With a launch date of early 2009, pre-orders for Lightning Car Company’s electric GT are rolling in. If you heard about the Lightening GT back in June 2007 be prepared to meet a new vehicle, as the car’s design has been completely re-vamped.
Using nano titanate battery technology, the GT’s electric ‘Hi-Pa Drive’ engine pulls with 700 hp “in the wheels,” making 0-60 in four seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. The Lightning GT will come in a luxury model, a lightweight sport version, and an extended range model that can run up to 250 miles on one 10-minute charge. The car’s body is made from carbon fiber and Kevlar, and the interior has the option of full leather trim.

A year after unveiling its X-Bow concept, famed motorcycle maker KTM has officially debuted its production versions of the car in Geneva. While the company expects to turn out a maximum of 1,000 X-Bows per year, 2,000 people have already committed to the wait list.
On the production car, KTM has smoothed out some of the rough edges from the concept, including the exhaust/intake systems. The company has also added a fully adjustable suspension and tweaked the bodywork and cockpit. Like the concept, the production X-Bow comes with an Audi-sourced, 220 hp four-cylinder engine that powers that car from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Read the rest of this entry »

On display in Geneva is the latest callabo from Bugatti and Hermès: the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès. Just as Maserati has paired up in the past with Ferragamo, the French firms joined forces to create the ultimate luxury super car statement.
Draped in custom Hermès touches, the Bugatti boasts a two-tone color scheme that extends from the hood to the interior of the cockpit, and re-emerges behind, at the level of the rear wing.
The interior is outfitted with Hermès-prepared bull-calf skin, which is better quality than standard leather because bulls’ skins don’t stretch during child bearing. Throughout the cockpit, Hermès has installed its own unique touches, like door handles similar to those found on their travel bags and luggage.
On the exterior, the new Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès features eight-spoked polished aluminum wheels, central butterfly wheel locks branded with the letter H, and Read the rest of this entry »

One year after unveiling the GranTurismo, Maserati is back in Geneva debuting its latest and more powerful iteration of the car, the GranTurismo S.
The Pininfarina-designed sports car is powered by a 440 hp Ferrari-derived V8 engine and a new MC-Shift dual-clutch transmission.
Aesthetically, Maserati made its biggest changes to the car’s interior, which comes upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather and Alcantara to reflect the “sporty flair” of the Maserati GranTurismo S. The figure-hugging front and rear seats are distinguished by a new dynamic design with horizontal piping on the seats and seatbacks. Exterior changes to the car are subtle but still noticeable.
