Ferrari is going to show a couple new versions of its 599GTB coupe at the Geneva motor show in March. The 599XX will be a technology testbed, similar in philosophy to the Enzo-based FXX. The other model will be the ‘HGTE’ package, which is a $25,000 option for those who want a bit sportier suspension. (via AutoWeek)

Not surprisingly, Aston Martin is going to be producing a convertible version of its gorgeous DBS, with deliveries starting this fall. Yeah, you read that right. They start shipping their new convertible in the FALL, at the end of prime convertible season and just in time for winter. Interesting marketing strategy there. (via PistonHeads)

This batmobile-like car is the Tramontana R Edition, made in Spain…and has a Mercedes V12 producing 760bhp! Yikes. That’s sure to be one exciting ride, though I wonder if that’s just too much power for a small car like that (only weighs 1259kg). Read more at PistonHeads.

The Perana Z-One isn’t officially unveiled yet, but what we do know is that Zagato designed the body, and it’s powered by a 6.2 liter Corvette V8. It’s build in South Africa by a new company called Perana Performance Group, and we expect full details to be announced at the Geneva motor show. (via Jalopnik)

Fans of the Zonda will love this video…it features some great footage of the Zonda R, well really more like great SOUNDS the car makes. It’s truly more of a race car than street car (but that doesn’t make me want one any less). (via Evo)

The new Ford Focus RS is, quite simply, a great example of what’s wrong with the American auto industry. 300bhp, 0-60mph in under six seconds, in an economical hatch design. It’s just fantastic. And Ford doesn’t import it to the US. More pics over at AutoExpress.

Here’s a leaked image of the new roadster version of the LP-650, set to debut at Geneva in March. Only 50 will be built, and feature 650bhp and all sorts of cosmetic enhancements (paint, alcantara, etc).
