The last time the Virage name was used on an Aston Martin was way back in the days of the big old V8 model, it was 1988 and the Ford Motor Company had just purchased Aston Martin and Jaguar to form its Premier Automotive Group (PAG).

Jaguar will launch its most powerful ever production car, at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1st.

This all-new XKR-S will broaden the appeal of the XK range combining GT luxury with incredible performance, with its more powerful supercharged V8 engine, uprated suspension and a new aerodynamic design. the XKR-S is the ultimate expression of Jaguar’s long held duality of purpose: GT luxury with incredible performance.

It's been almost a decade since BMW's less-than-diminutive MINI was launched and whilst it has been a tremendously successful model, the traditionalist have never embraced it as a true successor to the classic Issignosis Mini.

We've shown you pictures of Ferrari's new V12 four-wheel drive flagship model and brought you videos of it power-sliding in the snow, but tomorrow is the official debut of the most powerful and versatile Ferrari ever built.

You might not be a fan of Skoda, but these posters made for the 2011 Rallye Monte Carlo last month will look fabulous in any office, workshop or hallway. More please.

It's actually quite a refreshing change to see Lamborghini revealing its new V12 super sports car from the inside-out.

The new smart forspeed concept is a design study in the mould of the original 2002 smart crossblade - the two-seater has no roof or side windows and it features a low wind deflector instead of a windscreen. Unlike the crossblade, the forspeed is powered by a zero-emission all electric drive and has been created to demonstrate that zero emission cars can be great fun to drive.
