GENEVA PREVIEW: Bertone B99 concept for Jaguar

This sleek, classic profile belongs to the Bertone B99, a concept for a compact Jaguar sedan that is set to make an appearance at the Geneva Autosalon in March. 

It appears that Bertone drank deep from Sir William Lyon's design fountain because this concept clearly  paid homage to the low-slung design and sleek profile that Lyons made famous.

The very short front overhang and long tapering tail certainly followed the proportions of the XJ6, one of the most beautiful four-door saloons ever made.

The front three-quarter view further reinforce the classic Jaguar look with the prominent chrome framed grille with the leaping cat on the hood makes it unmistakably Jag and the face is brought up to date with slimline headlamps heavily sculpted lower portion.

The slim A-pillars and C-pillars set well back is another interpretation of the classic Lyons design language.

The tapering tail and and very long rear overhang gives the impression of a jaguar in full flight with its tail stretched for balance and agility.

I do hope that Jaguar will find the elegance and sporty flair that seem to come so easily to Sir William

Ferrari planning a very different car for Geneva Show - Hybrid or full Electric?

Of course when we think the unthinkable with Ferrari in mind, our thoughts will wander to electric cars or, best case scenario hybrids.

Luca De Montezemolo, Ferrari's long-standing President said to French reporters that his company is planning to show something very different at the Geneva Autosalon to show the world that they can and will adapt to change.



Earlier in September Ferrari had hinted that the replacement to their Enzo flagship will get Hybrid - Kinetic Energy Recovery System (Hy-KERS) technology and showed off the 599 Hy-KERS in Geneva.

so while other news sites are guessing that the new car at Geneva will be a hybrid Ferrari, we will hazard that it could well be something even more dramatic, an all-electric fuel-cell vehicle...

what do you guys think?
