Maserati showed off its sexy new two-door coupe GranTurismo at Tokyo Motor Show 2007. The coupe is powered by 4.2L V8 engine with 405 horse power, fast enough to outrun crooked Italian cops. Designed by Pininfarina, the car became famous when it was used in the Sony PlayStation 3′s “GranTurismo 5: Prologue” video game. We assume this vehicle will make any chick outside a club kill to get in and “become a star.”

Here is a road test video of the 510hp Ferrari F430 Scuderia. Watch the video after the jump.
Like the Challenge Stradale was to the 360 Modena, this Scuderia is an evolution of the F430, taking the car from perennial contender in the high-end sports car market to weekend special. Think Gallardo Superleggera, Porsche GT3 RS, et al. In this case the Ferrari drops a couple hundred pounds and gets a slight cavallini bump. In real numbers that’s a weight savings of 100kg (220 lbs.) and 510 horsepower instead of 483 from Ferrari’s 4.3L V8.
Here is a road test video of the Caparo T1 prototype. The car is powered by 3.5 liter V8 engine that accelerates it from 0-60mph in just 2.5-second. Video after the jump.

The engine runs at 707 hp at 8,350 rpm and 525 lb/ft of torque at 6300 rpm. The Novitec Tunero also can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 216 mph.

AutoWeek provides us some leaked pics detailing the exterior and interior of the new Nissan Skyline GT-R. See more pics after the jump.
The Nissan GT-R will go toe-to-toe with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Porsche 911 Turbo. The GT-R’s twin-turbo V6 gives it a startling 0 to 60 mph time of near 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph. That V6 cranks out 473 hp and 433 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a rear-mounted transaxle. In between is a GR6 dual-clutch six-speed automatic you can operate via paddles on the steering wheel. Base price is expected to be less than $80,000.
