Mercedes SL Studiotorino Coupetorino

The Studiotorino Coupetorino Mercedes SL was premiered at the Turin World Design Capital 2008. It is a cultural, non-profit project. The goal of the project was to build a coupe while keeping the identity of the SL and add a touch of Italian flair.
This project includes a 1:4 scale maquette which was modeled by Alfredo Stola. The base 1:4 scale model of the SL that was later re-modeled was supplied by Mercedes. The project was done in collaboration with Istituto di Arte Applicata e Design (IAAD).

Aston Martin Rapide

Company released a second image that showing the Aston Martin Rapide rear end. The Aston Martin Rapide is a four-door four seater that will probably rival the new Porsche Panamera. This new image shows that this car will have a glass roof and a rear end similar as the Vantage.
With the Panamera already out in the open, there will probably be just a few months before the British brand will fully unveil the production version of the Aston Martin Rapide.
