GTbyCitroen

A world where car design meets computer game – this is the sensational GTbyCitroen concept.

The concept Citroen - with help from the creators behind Gran Turismo 5 - is currently wowing Paris Motor Show goers with its bold design, and features upwards-opening ‘gullwing’ style doors, 21-inch aluminium wheels – and an electric engine with ZERO emissions.

And this stunning green-machine packs a massive 784bhp – meaning a 0-62mph time of just 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 204mph.

Renault Megane

The Renault Megane Trophy is built to compete in the Renault saloon car championship and comes fitted with a 360bhp 3.5-litre V6 engine.

The engine is planted in the middle of the car – for better weight distribution – and fixes to a six-speed gearbox with steering-wheel mounted shift paddles.

Catch the stunning, wide-bodied Renault racer throughout 2009 across European circuits in the special one-make racing series.

BMW X1

BMW has defied convention with the new X6 SUV-coupe – and now looks set to beef up the baby 1 series with this: the BMW X1.

The X1 is BMW’s smallest 4x4 and features a “visibly low centre of gravity” which BMW claims is a “clear reference” to the car’s dynamic capabilities – meaning it should handle superbly.

If it does go into production the BMW X1 will compete against the likes of the concept Mini 4x4 – which is also made by BMW.

Aston Martin One-77

This will be the fastest Aston Martin EVER – the One-77 looks set to be one of the world’s fastest and most exclusive supercars.

The Aston Martin One-77 – seen under wraps at Paris – will feature a hand-finished 7-litre V12 engine producing 700bhp and a top speed in excess of 200mph.

But the V12-engined, aluminium-bodied Aston will not come cheap – it will cost around £1 million when it hits the streets in 2009.

Audi A1 Sportback

Audi will enter the supermini market with this – the A1 Sportback concept.

Featuring a turbocharged AND supercharged 1.4-litre petrol engine, the A1 will emit just 92g/km of CO2 – making it road tax exempt.

And this is thanks to an extra electric motor which boosts power – and slashes emissions – to return an average 74mpg on the combined cycle.

Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer

One of the UK’s biggest-selling motors has been replaced – goodbye Vauxhall Vectra, hello Vauxhall Insignia.

Prices start from £17,185 on the road.

Volkswagen Golf GTi

The world’s most famous hot-hatch just got hotter – this is the all-new Volkswagen Golf GTi.

With a Scirocco-inspired front, Touareg-style rear and beefy alloys, the new Golf GTi looks fantastic.
