Mini presented last week at Geneva the new Rocketman, a concept that is regarded as a modern interpretation of the old and original Mini car.

MINI Rocketman measures 3.419 meters in length (133.8 inches), which means it is only a few centimeters longer than the original Mini launched in 1959.

MINI decided to construct the Rocketman from carbon fiber emphasizing a light weight body for fuel efficiency and top safety as carbon fiber crash properties are the best technology has to offer.

Jaguar has joined the 300 km/h club with the unveiling of its most powerful car yet, the XKR-S.

Offering a 5.0 liter V8 engine, Jaguar’s latest cub has been designed around its speed qualities with a dramatically redesigned front and a separate rear spoiler.

Toyota took another step towards a new sports model March 1 with the unveiling of the FT-86 II concept at the Geneva Motor Show.

The biggest hint yet of the styling expected from a new production sports model, the FT-86 II was described as a model that paid homage to Toyota’s previous sports cars of the past such as the 2000 GT of the 1960s.

The model features a long, low hood and rear-set cabin and measures 4,235 mm long and 1,270mm high.

Italian sports marque Lamborghini has unveiled the new flagship of its lineup at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 will be delivered to the first customers in late summer 2011, the company confirmed March 1, describing the model as a “new reference among super sports cars.”

The model uses a carbon fiber monocoque (integrated chassis) which gives the Aventador a weight of 1,575 kg and features the same upward-opening doors used on its predecessors such as the Diablo and Murcielago.

The collections include everything from purses and wallets, passport cases, luggage labels and portfolios, as well as the iconic Bentley key case.
