Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

We would like to start off the New Year with eight cars that were recently launched or will be launched in the coming days and months. A subject of years of speculations has now finally been confirmed by Ford; the Focus RS will be built. The announcement and attached image are still very sketchy, but the successful World Rally Focus is most certainly the inspiration for the RS. Another high performance machine featured today is the Hennessey Venom 650R. Based off the latest Dodge Viper, it promises a Corvette ZR-1 matching performance with an estimated top speed north of 200 mph. In May the Corvette will be the official pace car for the Indy 500 for a record breaking tenth time. Racing legend Emerson Fittipaldi and ethanol producer will drive the Z06 E85.
In the build up to every Geneva Motor Show one of the questions is; what will Frank Rinderknecht come with up next? He rarely disappoints and his 2008 concept promises to be the craziest yet. Dubbed the sQuba, the new Rinspeed would not look out of place in a James Bond movie as it doubles as a submarine. At Detroit next week Nissan will show this Forum Concept. It combines a clean exterior with a nicely appointed and versatile interior, topped off by a full length and width glass roof. Suzuki has chosen the booming Indian market to showcase their future A-segment model with the A-Star Concept.
