Even after being on the market for a few years, it seems some are still unsettled on the styling of the Ferrari FF supercar and its relatively unique shooting brake bodystyle. In fact, one well-heeled Ferrari fan even went as far as to commission the automaker’s Special Projects division to transform the FF into a coupe. Perhaps Ferrari has also realized that the car’s styling has some detractors, because word on the street is that an FF coupe is being prepared for launch towards the end of this year or early next.

McLaren Prices The 650S From $265,500
The McLaren lineup has grown, over the span of just a few years, from one car to three.

That's the base price for...

A prototype for the second generation of Audi’s R8 supercar recently took to Germany’s Nürburgring, and we have an exclusive video of it. As the prototype confirms, Audi’s designers are taking an evolutionary approach to the styling of the new car. Wider and flatter lights are fitted at both ends, and these are joined by a more rigid hexagonal grille up front and rectangular exhaust tips at the rear. The car looks very fast in this video, meaning engineers are likely testing the range-topping V-10 model. The good news is that customers should still be able to opt for a...
