Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

Today Italian luxury / sports car manufacturer Maserati revealed the first pictures of the face-lifted Quattroporte range. The biggest news though was the addition to the line-up of the Quattroporte S, which comes complete with the 4.7 V8 engine seen earlier this year in the GranTurismo S.
With the very unusual Gina Concept, BMW have presented an interesting direction for the possible future of the automobile. By using an easily adaptable textile fabric for the skin, the car's appearance can be changed at any given time. Better known for their ground-breaking concept cars is Mazda and during the upcoming Moscow Motorshow, the Japanese manufacturer will launch yet another design study.
One of our readers recently directed us to this rather stunning Dowdeswell & Hardie Concept 17.1 Falen, which will be limited to four examples only. Little technical detail is known at this time, but the racing-derived Judd V10 engine should be able to propel the mid-engined sportscar to mind boggling speeds.
Renowned Mercedes Benz tuner Brabus have released a second version of the very potent C-Class based V12 engined Bullit; the Black Arrow. Ford is increasing tension for the launch of the much-anticipated Focus RS by publishing two pictures of a thinly disguised test-car and some additional specifications.
By far the craziest car in this week's update is the aptly named Toyota Aygo Crazy, which is powered by a mid-mounted 200 bhp turbocharged engine.
