What do you get if you take a Yaris sized supermini, make it lighter, then power it using a smaller version of the powertrain from the Prius? This…the world’s saddest looking car. But apart from that, it’s the Toyota FT-Bh (short for “Future Toyota B-segment hybrid”) concept which made its debut at the 2012 Geneva [...]
Faster than a Porsche 911, cleaner than a Toyota Prius – That’s the Infiniti Emerg-E concept revealed at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It boasts an electric motor in each rear wheel for a total power output of 402bhp, 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, an EV range of 30 miles rising to 300 miles using [...]

After a protracted teaser campaign and eventual leak, this is the Pininfarina Cambiano concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. With looks straight from the past and the future the luxury sports saloon-coupe takes inspiration from the 1957 Lancia Florida II.

After that nasty Bentley SUV thing yesterday, here is the antidote in the form of the shapely Alfa Disco Volante. No, not Largo’s ship from Thunderball with the missiles and Domino.
