Well, this photo may not show much, but that’s the (disguised) replacement for the F430, to be called the F450. You can expect this to be unveiled this fall, with sales beginning in 2010. (via Jalopnik)

These CAD images show the production version of the Aston Martin Rapide, due to be released this fall. It’s quite similar to the concept first shown at Detroit in 2006, with some minor difference to the front fascia being the most apparent. Performance will suit its looks (and price), with 0-60 taking around 4.5 seconds and a top speed in the neighborhood of 180mph. (via AutoCar)

McLaren P11 spy shots

Photographers caught a near production-ready McLaren P11 (codename) testing recently. The mid-enginged sports car is expected to be powered by a Mercedes AMG-tuned 6.2 liter V8 producing 550hp, weigh around 1250kg, and be designed to compete against the Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo. So, perhaps not as revolutionary as the McLaren F1, but still a formidable machine. (via AutoExpress)
