    FAB Design’s Amaze In Geneva: Custom McLaren P1 and Lambo Aventador

    FAB Design brought over two modified supercars to the Geneva motor show of 2014, though, one was far more special than the other… Despite the fact that they painted the Lamborghini Aventador they called the “Spridon” a striking shade of lime green, it was probably the subtly modded McLaren P1 that garnered more attention.

    Gh-Gh-Ghost! Rolls-Royce Teases The New Ghost Ahead of Geneva

    The appeal of Rolls-Royce’s Ghost is twofold: one, it’s a Roller, and two, it’s far more inviting to drive than the small house it appears to be lets on. Powered by a fortified variation of BMW’s 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12, it complements the Phantom upper-luxury sedan quite nicely, slotting into the entry-opulent segment somewhere between Bentley’s Flying Spur and Mulsanne. Now, five years into the Ghost’s life, Rolls will introduce a refresh for its most plebeian offering.

    Dubbed the Ghost Series II, it’s a slightly modified and updated variation of the current model, and will make its debut at the Geneva auto show in March. This image from Rolls-Royce provides us a glimpse of the redesigned headlights, which now feature a visual step—not unlike the shape of the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s peepers—as well as a slightly more streamlined fascia.

    Aston Martin DB9 Announces New Carbon Special Editions (VIDEO)

    In addition to its new V8 Vantage N430, Aston Martin will be showing off a pair of DB9 special editions at the upcoming 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The latest special editions revive Aston Martin’s ‘Carbon’ theme, which was last used on the DB9 back in 2010, prior to the car’s transformation into the Aston Martin formerly known as the Virage.

    This time around there is both a DB9 Carbon Black and a DB9 Carbon White. Rather than outright performance, style and what Aston Martin describes as “visual drama” are the hallmarks of the new special editions.

    Both cars feature carbon fiber elements for the exterior and cabin. Items include carbon side strakes and darkened window surrounds as well as bright red brake calipers.

    For the interior, Aston designers have gone with a black theme for both, but with contrasting red elements to match the brake calipers. The cars also feature bespoke sill plaques with the Carbon Black or Carbon White logo.

    No changes have been made to the powertrain, which means the cars still come with a 6.0-liter V-12 engine delivering 510 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. In case you were wondering, that will get you to a top speed of 183 mph.
