Pebble Beach's concept cars

Blatantly nicked from CNET

Infiniti Essence, a luxury concept with a 600-horsepower 3.6-liter engine hybridized with a battery.




Bugatti Sang Bleu is a one-off version of the Veyron 16.4



Lotus Evora. It reaches 60mph in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 162mph.



Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss has 5.5-liter, 650-horsepower V8 supercharged engine. It can accelerate to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds reache a top speed of 208 mph. The company plans to make only 75 of the machines (a.k.a. my next track day toy)




Tramontana's Formula 1-esque model here sports a 720-horsepower V12 engine and a carbon fiber body.




Come to Daddy That last one's just plain dirty

I like that Infiniti thing - none of the others appeal to me.

Is the American spelling of "litre" on purpose?

Not that I'm a spelling/grammar Nazi or anything

That Formula 1 thing is horrible! I like the Merc though :-)

I saw an Evora on on the road the other day. Have to say it would be something I'd look at if I was in that sportscar market at the moment, looked lovely.

Infiniti, God yes.

Evora, perhaps, but in another colour.

I hope you're not, because amongst other things, you're missing a few verbs!

Cheers,
