Rumors suggest a revival of the Alfa Romeo Duetto, popularized by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, which could feature a retractable hard-top for motoring al fresco under the Tuscan sun or closed again for parking in Rome and winding through the Alps.

But after years of loss, the Italian sports-car maker finally returned to profit in 2007.

That, in a nutshell, sums up the 2008 edition of the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, a 2-day automotive carnival that never ceased to amaze, no matter how many times we walked around the grounds. Each pass seemed to reveal something new -- something we somehow missed just a few minutes earlier. As always, Day 1 was dedicated to American cars and Day 2 paid tribute to... Full article...

Here, the only brief for a new car is to make it sexy, fast and desirable. The all-new Brera, which replaces the much-loved but ageing GTV, is an Alfa from the old school. Due to hit the UK next April, the powerhouse coupe will top the firm's restructured line-up. Two engines will be available from launch: a base 2.2-litre four-cylinder unit and a range-topping 3.2-litre V6, which is linked to a new hi-tech... Full article...

Perhaps that’s what makes Ugur Sahin Design’s work so impressive, although the cars the firm envisions - and in some cases, produces - are certainly responsible as well. The latest creation from Ugur Sahin Design USD is the GT-S Passionata, based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and modeled on the grand tourers of the 1960s. But it’s no... Full article...
