Maybach Landaulet






With this study of an open-top landaulet, Maybach has re-enlivened the great art of building majestic automobiles. True to the tradition of exclusive landaulets, the roof of this sparkling white one-off study can be opened fully at the rear, while the chauffeur’s compartment remains completely enclosed. The passengers are then able to enjoy the clear, blue sky above. Seated in opulent armchairs upholstered in white leather, they are treated to a majestic open-air experience currently unrivalled by any other automobile in an environment of the utmost luxury and exquisite style. Romance close to the heart of nature is harmoniously combined with the ultimate in comfort and technological sophistication. With this unique study, Maybach is once again demonstrating its expertise in building the world’s most exclusive luxury cars.

Fiat 500 SW



The 500-mania has come! After creating a Cabrio and a sports Abarth version, today Infomotori.co.uk wants to suggest you a new version, the Fiat 500 Giardinetta.
It was 1960 when the family version (station wagon) of Fiat 500 had its debut.

The Italian designer Dante Giacosa desgined a new version, named Giardiniera, to create a simple solution for having a good baggage: the engine was placed inside the baggage, without loosing too much room.
But in Fiat 500, the engine and the wheel rdrive are both front.

Free time
This could definately be the perfect vehicle for your Sundays, or for a quiet holiday otu of the city traffic and towards nice green fields or hills.
Infomotori.co.uk's designer drew for this Fiat 500 Giardiniera version a new rear, whichaloows a wider room for passengers and baggage, for e more practical use. Anyway Fiat 500 Giardiniera is still compact, without missing its main essence of an hatchback.

The PHANTOM HUMMER





The people who make the Phantom Hummer want you to know that your imagination is their only limitation. Of course, if this is what resides in your imagination, there are probably people you should contact before you call Phantom Hummer. The doors were locked so we couldn't see why the roof needed to be replaced with a black hump, but we're sure there's a very good reason -- like it holds a bladder of champagne that is misted over the occupants via sprinklers in the headliner... Or something like that. To our eye, the only thing missing was a platinum chain hanging from the neck of the winged mascot. So if you'll excuse me, I need to make a phone call...

Opel Vivaro VPC





In the Netherlands, Opel has gotten into the game with the Vivaro VPC. The Vivaro is, like the Transit, a panel van. Apparently, GM sees an opportunity to sell 100 tricked-out versions (at € 34,900 each) to Dutch commercial customers who wish to make their delivery rounds in something more sporty-looking than the average panel. It comes in the same blue paint used on the Opel OPC cars, rolls on OPC wheels, and wears a full appearance package including color-matched everything, an aggressive front fascia with intrgrated foglights, and dual, trapezoid-shaped exhaust exits in the rear. The VPC moniker is the final, and most obvious, hat tip to the OPC performance wing of the car division. A 2.5L CDTi turbodiesel with 143 horses supplies the power, and it's mated to a 6-speed manual. As for the driver, the cab's no penalty box either, as evidenced by two-tone leather and Alcantara Recaro sport seats that look as if they've been pilfered from a GT1 car. Delivering goods has never been so good
