Bijan passed away already but his legacy lives on as the House of Bijan recently unwrapped the line of limited edition Phantoms of luxury car marque Rolls-Royce. The car was unveiled in front of his shop in Beverly Hills where he initiated the project back in 2010.

The Drophead Coupe by Bijian comes in his own color, Bijian Yellow but the limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantoms will come in several colors. The yellow of the late designer ruled over elemetns like the hood, mirrors, wheels, and window frame. The interior of the DHC has touches of Bijan like the diamond watch on the dashboard and a picnic set stored in the Phantom’s trunk

The run of this very unique Phanotms will be limited. There will also be convertible versions of the Bijan Rolls-Royce collaboration. The tag price for the vehicle is said to go from $850,000 and may hit around $1.6 million and will most likely be attracting the interest of sheikhs from the Middle East who got their luxurious styling from the late Bijan.

One unit was already shipped to another country. The designers are projecting to do a dozen of these luxury rides.

Recently, the newly revamped and redesigned version of the brand’s Continental GT has rolled out into showrooms. Now, another new model—the Continental GT Drop-Top model—is set to be revealed at the Frankfurt show this year. Of course, we all couldn’t wait to see the Speed and Flying Spur variants.

Another Bentley model, the Mulsann, has also been speculated to come up with a convertible and coupe versions some time soon. According to experts’ speculations and reports, the British carmaker is set to unveil new model lines one of which involves an SUV model. Ironically, after all the talks of expansion, it has been said that the British brand is planning to economize.

The new Bentley Continental models will have an additional 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 engine plus the optional 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbo engine. As for engine power, now official word has been released but we assume it will be somewhere between 567 horsepower. According to rumors, these models will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show this January. Perhaps by then, we would get a clearer picture of the engine speculations along with other details pertaining to exterior and interior aspects. Let’s keep tuned to that and see what the British brand has to offer this year and the next.

According to Sadikhov, Xezri takes its name from a wind gusting at the western portions of he Caspian Sea. For him, the name signifies high technology and innovations needed by a light car to perform well both on track and on the streets. Furthermore, he sees it as a Ferrari of years to come with the perfect blend of available technology and sportiness.

The design focused on giving the car excellent aerodynamics. Sadikhov removed elements like the wing mirrors plus other components that contribute to the drag of the vehicle. He also made use of aerolastic winglets and a flat underbody taking a hint from the 458 Italia.

The car designer also made sure that the car will be very lightweight making use of carbon fiber components for both the exterior and interior of the Xezri.

The Xezri concept also has some unique features like the centrally mounted driver’s cockpit making use of switches, analogue buttons, and touch screens instead of having wing mirrors. There are air propellers that help produce power for the gauges and the rest of the interior. The silver wing that dominates the top-down view acts as a spoiler and at the same time an air intake.

The Xezri ought to be a supercar that can provide the performance you need on the streets while giving you the rush when you hit track.

The GT3 traces its origin to the new MP4 12C supercar by McLaren only it is revised to even make it perform better.

The McLaren engineers and designers changed the radiator and gearbox cooler setup of the MP4 12 C to give the GT3 more margin of temperature to achieve its peak performance. They also upgraded its aerodynamic components and gave the new race car louvers and diffusers on the front bumper, rear wing, door blade, and front splitter. All of the aerodynamic components were fabricated from carbon fiber.

Just like its sibling road car, the MP4 12C GT3 also has a chassis made from carbon fiber. McLaren also equipped the car with the same steering wheel as the MP4-24 F1 car. The team will be tweaking the GT3 during the 2011 season while twenty cars are set to be delivered for privateer teams by next year.

The supercar will still depend on its M838T McLaren 3.8L V8 twin turbo engine but it will be detuned to output 500 PS. They are also using a lighter gear box to improve the weight of the car by eighty kilos and give it a more optimal power balanced with its all over performance.

The newly restyled Lamborghini Gallardo has a new design for the front grille, a complete set of fenders, smashing side skirts, new exhaust system made of stainless steel and a whole lot more that would make any Lamborghini enthusiast marvel. The interiors were also given an ego boost with its set of Alcantara racing seats made in carbon fiber that are just what every super car fan is after.

Of course, the new super car won’t get left behind in terms of power under the hood. Amari Design increased the initial 513BHP of the 5.10L V-10 engine to 740BHP. Nothing has been reported yet about Invidia Edition’s performance ratings but Amari Design has stated that their in-house engine tuning arm, the Amari Service garage, is overseeing the performance test for project Invidia Edition. Amari Service is headed by John Greatorex , who is one of the top five mechanics for supercars in UK.

The Lamborghini Gallardo’s Invidia Edition is expected to roll into UK’s showrooms sometime in April 2011. At present, a great deal of development work has already been finished for the initial prototype.

The purple Pagani was based on the Zonda Cinque and tagged it with 750 to come with its name. Pagani injected some exclusive features to this special production making it the crème de la crème of their garage. The details of its performance have not yet been revealed but everyone is speculating that its name denotes the power of its powerplant.

If we are guessing it right then this purple Zonda 750 will be the most powerful ever of the road-going supercar brood.  The top power rating of the Pagani garage so far is the track only version of the Zonda which makes use of the 6.0L engine supplied by the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz which blasts out 750 horsepower and a torque of 710 Nm.

The owner of the purple Zonda has not been named but has personally expressed his inkling for the loud, special color of the supercar. There were also two prior incarnations of the Zonda before, the Uno and the HH. The HH now belongs to the collection of David Heinemeier Hansson, the software mogul. This Zonda creation made use of a 687 horsepower V12 AMG engine.

So maybe Novitec doesn’t exactly ring a bell, right?  But this Dutch turning company has their share of fine-tuning Italian cars such as the Fiat 500 and the Alfa 159.  For those who are fans of exotic cars, you might have known them as the Novitec Rosso label that massages several of the Ferrari models.  Nevertheless, the Novitec Tridente is a special unit of the Novitec name, and this unit is dedicated solely for the tuning of Maserati models.

Novitec Tridente’s Maserati upgrade is available to both the Quattroporte S and its top-of-the-line sister Quattroporte GT S.  The upgrade package revamps the 4.7 liter V8 engine to supercharge its output up to 590 horsepower.  This gives the Quattroporte S a huge 160-horse boot and the GT S a hefty 150.  It also comes with the installation of an intercooler, a supercharger, remapped ECU, fuel injectors, new intake manifolds, and an adjustable sport suspension that comes with 21-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero rubber.  The fine-tuned Maseratti Quattroporte runs at the speed of 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds and at the top speed of 183 mph.

The DB5 of James Bond known by its United Kingdom registration FMP 7B is the only 007 Aston Martin DB5 remaining. As you may wonder, the car is fitted with the effects courtesy of academy award winner John Stears for the James Bond films. It was featured in the movie with Q modifications and gadgets like the revolving plate numbers, machine guns, tracking device, nail spreader, oil sprayer, detachable roof panel, smoke screen, and all other contraptions triggered with a flick of a switch on the arm rest.

The DB5 was loaned to the EON Productions for the making of the two movies and later went on tour before returning to the Aston Martin factory. Jerry Lee, a broadcasterd from Philadelphia was able to negotiate with Aston Martin and acquired the 007 DB5 for $12,000 back in 1969.

Today, the only ex-factory owner wants to put on sale the FMP 7B to use the proceeds for charitable work through his Jerry Lee Foundation.

The vehicle was recently restored to its running condition as commissioned by the RM Auction after being in display for years at the home of Mr. Lee.

The Mini got its unveiling at the motor show in Geneva.

It is the first of its kind in the Mini world. That is, it is the very first model to feature four doors as well as all wheel drive.

This offers more freedom in terms of capabilities and space. However, all the best characteristics of the Mini brand remain in tact.
