The 2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck blurs the line between cars and trucks and is creating an all-new segment in the North American car market. This dramatically different vehicle blends the sporty handling of a performance coupe with the cargo capabilities of a light truck.
Based on the all-new Pontiac G8 performance sedan, the newest member of the G8 family has a longer wheelbase and a cargo bed suitable for either work or recreation. The G8 sport truck significantly stretches Pontiac’s commitment to style and performance and is expected to arrive in dealers’ showrooms in late 2009.
“Pontiac has never shied away from offering segment-defining vehicles, going back to the original GTO,” said Jim Bunnell, Buick-Pontiac-GMC general manager. “There’s simply nothing else like the G8 sport truck on the road today, and we definitely believe that there are customers who will be excited by its distinctive design, performance and cargo capabilities.”
Morgan Motor Company reveals the Morgan Aero SuperSports to celebrate 100 years anniversary of the brand. Powered by an aluminum 4.8 liter BMW V8 engine, Morgan Aero SuperSports comes with a 6 speed automatic or a manual in house. Morgan Aero SuperSports automatic version will be the only one of its kind to offer such dynamic power transmission.
Designed and engineered in house, the Morgan Aero SuperSports is a lightweight aluminum sports car with a luxurious specification. The interior features a comfortable combination of polished hardwoods, hand stitched leather and electronic technology to create a driving environment that is efficient, ergonomic and sumptuous. In spite of all this opulence the overall weight of the car is still minimal so the car is responsive to driver inputs and economical to run. The unique way Morgan can achieve this is down to our use of aircraft style superformed aluminum outer panels and the skills of our craftsmen to hand finish the assembly of each car.
Morgan Aero SuperSports will be priced at 127,000 pounds.
This is an awesome car, a modern antique!

Maserati has introduced a special series of new options name “MC Sport Line”. In order to surpass its previous Maserati lines-ups, this Maserati can reach 0-60 mph in less than 4.8 seconds and achieving top speeds of 183 mph.
The sporty look of the exterior can be completed with the mirror housing and door handles, made from carbon fibre. The same dark shade is reflected in the glossy black 20″ wheel rims that match the dark line of the exterior perfectly. The steering wheel rim is made from carbon fibre, as are the control stalks for the electro-actuated transmission and the body of the instrument panel, dashboard and door panels, featuring carbon moulding. Looking at the central tunnel, carbon fibre dominates the entire section, acting as a backdrop to enhance the brilliance of the chrome. The “MC” pedal block complete with kickplate to the left is machined from a solid alumunium piece.<from Maserati press release>
