It’s a sexy infusion of both Boxster and Carrera GT influences, with a dash of hybrid power thrown in for good measure. What’s not to love about a 500-horsepower, V8-powered roadster that can hit 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds

FILLING THE GAP between the A3 and the upcoming A1, speculation that the German carmaker is developing a next generation A2 hatch has begun to grow.

JAGUAR'S DIRECTOR OF DESIGN Ian Callum has let slip that a design for a two-door version of the freshly-unveiled XJ sedan has already been penned, leading to speculation that a revival of the long-defunct XJC nameplate may be on the horizon. Callum makes no mention of any solid production plans for a next-gen XJC, but the fact that the British automaker's design department has already toyed with the idea shows that at least some within Jaguar's staff are interested in the idea.

FORMULA ONE GREAT Sir Stirling Moss is in intensive care after a three-storey fall at his home in London. The 80-year-old Briton, who won 16 grands prix, is not in a life-threatening condition but has broken ankles, feet and vertebrae damage. The Daily Mail newspaper reported that, with the lift in his house malfunctioning and remaining at the fourth floor, Moss stepped into the shaft on the third floor and fell to the concrete base

With that in mind, new rumors are cropping up about a possible successor to the A2 - the quirky little hatch that never came to the U.S.

FERRARI HAS UNVEILED its first hybrid concept at Geneva this week, in the form of the 599 HY-KERS vettura laboratorio (Italian for 'experimental vehicle'). Based on technology developed through its Formula 1 programme, Ferrari has developed a hybrid system that pairs a 40kg, 75kW electric motor with its 6.0 litre V12 engine and seven-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission.

CITROEN HAS TEAMED with GQ Magazine to develop the GQbyCitroen concept, described by designer Mark Lloyd as the “the perfect car for the GQ man”. The concept, its name a play on the GTbyCitroen concept, is set to debut in the magazine's April issue. While Citroen has yet to reveal the full details, the GQbyCitroen is powered by a hybrid system that combines a direct-injected 1.6 petrol engine with an electric motor

But forgetting the Wiesmann GT would be a cardinal sin and capital offense, because the niche-market sportscar is among the most tantalizing on the road. While the design may be decidedly old-school, Wiesmann works tirelessly to keep it fresh with successive updates to propel this time-machine well past the requisite 88 miles per hour and out from the past and into the present.

Feigned enthusiasm aside, this is the one that stands to take the job, and it’s a pretty sharp looking sedan. More telling, however, though dubbed a concept car, the 5 by Peugeot looks fairly close to production-ready status, especially compared to design studies like the RC HyMotion4 concept , another four-door concept from Peugeot unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2008

HYUNDAI HAS UNVEILED its i-Flow HED-7 concept at the Geneva Motor Show, a low-slung sedan that hides a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain beneath its curvaceous bodywork. Although much of its design is too wild to translate into production form, the i-Flow concept does at least hint at what styling cues may grace future Hyundais. The smooth, flowing bodywork helps improve aerodynamic slipperiness, and incorporates a flexible solar panel in the roof that helps keep the batteries topped up
