It is already known that Ferrari is working at a „top-secret” vehicle by the cars fans, a new GranTurismo model, which is to be presented in October at the Paris Motor Show, and even though it is classified as „secret” business, the profile magazines have already presented an idea of how the next Ferrari monster could look like or how it might just be. The very first rumors are saying that Ferrari will present a three-seated variant-which is very much to be doubted and was also officialy denied by Ferrari from the beginning.

In the second place, more plausible, rumors say that the model could be a coupe-cabriolet version with folding hard-top, to be powered by a V8 engine and bring out up to 450 horsepower. As Ferrari briefly mentioned so far, the upcoming 2+2 model will be the cheapest in the Ferrari line for the moment and it will have quite the same performances as the F430. From the design point of view all we know so far is that the new model will be 50cm shorter than the 612 Scaglietti.  For further details and keeping in touch with the automobile news, see the following: http://www.auto-power-girl.com/.

At the very famous Barrett-Jackson auction this year, there was put on the scene even a car that actually can fly: building wings to a 2004 Panoz Esperante car will seem quite silly for most, but you should know that is sold at 54,000$ which is a higher price that the organizers expected. But how on earth did they do it? Well, it takes a professional in such things to come to such a result- meet Jesse James of West Coast Choppers and now you will understand.

Panoz Esperante took flight on an episode of Monster Garage and it stayed in the air for about 300 feet before landing safely on the ground again. The interior has been stripped to make space for a full roll cage, a propeller is mounted in the trunk, and the 36′ wings were manufactured by hand. It is quite weird what the owner will actually do with the car (for sure he can not replace the flight between Europe and U.S.A. with it!), but nevertheless we have to admit it is one-of-a-kind piece after all.
