We are always looking forward to the news from the Ferrari. I just got the leaked photos of the brand new model 599 variation known so far as GTB Fiorano.
The latest version has gained a name inspired by the iconic 288 GTO built in the mid 80s. Unique features include: black matte roof, new intakes on the bonnet and rear darts to improve the car downforce on the bends.

Spies of the American automotive blog Autoblog have caught in the act totally new Bentley Continental GT. Thanks to them we can roughly assess the new body by the most popular British car manufacturer.
