The Expected

Ferrari 458 Spider
Ferrari showed off the new stunning 458 Spider at the Frankfurt Show 2011. The car now features a retractable hard top roof, the first for a mid-engined two-seater and despite being almost identical to the original 458 the car proved to be extremely popular at the show. Prices will start from £198,000 with orders already being taken.



Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale
Lamborghini unveiled the new LP570-4 Gallardo Super Trofeo, the most extreme to date with top speed of 200mph and 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds. The car is lighter, faster and more responsive than the LP560-4 making it the closest a Gallardo will be to a race car.

Lamborghini will only produce 150 units and will be available in red, grey and white.

Prices are yet to be confirmed but are estimated at over £200,000.



Aston V12 Zagato
Aston Martin revealed the road version of the new V12 Zagato and the car will go into production next year. The engine is a 6.0litre, 517hp V12 and will be limited to just 150 road samples priced at around £330,000.



Mercedes SLS Roadster
Mercedes showed off its new £180,000 soft top version of the SLS AMG. It has the same 6.3 litre V8 engine and 571hp giving it an identical performance to the SLS coupe but without the roof and gullwing doors.

The roof can be opened at a speed of up to 30mph and takes an impressive 11 seconds to retract. Reaching 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed at almost 200mph; be sure not to wear a hat!

The car is expected to be on sale in 2012 with orders being taken next month and production to start in November.



Jaguar C-X16
Jaguar stole the show with the stunning C-X16 sport concept, a successor to the famous E-type and set to rival the Porsche 911. Not only is the car beautiful to look at it features the most up to date technology within the car industry.

The two seater, rear drive, petrol-electric hybrid has a 3.0 litre V6 supercharged engine reaching 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds and a 'push to pass' button allowing an extra power boost for 10 seconds. Despite all this, the new Jaguar is great for the economy only emitting 165g/km CO2.

Production hasn't yet been officially confirmed but should it go ahead you can expect to see the car within a year.

The Unexpected

Land Rover Defender Sport
Whilst it was common knowledge that Land Rover was to officially reveal the DC100 Defender concept, to be produced in 2015. A more surprising shock unveiled at the Frankfurt show was the Land Rover Defender Sport concept, an open top version of its DC100 Defender replacement.

The sporty, yellow painted, open topped DC100 Sport is also due for 2015.

Power for the new Defenders will be 2.0 litre petrol or diesel engine with both hybrid and plug in capabilities and an eight speed gearbox.

The DC100 will have solar panels on its roof, constant internet connectivity and a metallic silver finish to keep the car cool by reflecting the suns rays.

…and the bonkers!

Bugatti L'Or Blanc
Bugatti has revealed yet another special addition named Bugatti L'Or Blanc, but it's not like Bugatti to do anything normal and this time is no exception - the car has seven features made from fine porcelain inside and out – that's a 250mph car made of china! Including on the outside the wheel centres, fuel cap and badge and on the inside the centre console on a porcelain dish which can be used as a caviar tray. Only Bugatti could get away with this. If you have a spare £1.5million lying around then you're in with a chance, otherwise move on and forget about it!
