GENEVA — If you want to measure the extremes of design, consider Fioravanti's two concepts, the LF1 and the TRIS, debuting at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show. The LF1 looks like a refugee from a Formula 1 grid. In fact, it is a study intended to showcase how F1 technology and design might be incorporated into a production car.

It's not every day you get invited to the workshops of a new British sports-carmaker to drive its first car. But we're in a bit of a panic on this dark November morning in England because Farbio Sports Cars is tucked away off a narrow lane in rural Wiltshire, near Bristol. Good thing we've got satellite navigation. Finally we're in a smart reception area within a converted barn, not the kind of... more.

LARI, Italy — Named after an Italian sculptor, the Vulca V12 truly is a design masterpiece. With beauty and brawn to match, F&M's talent for crafting dreamlike cars is indisputable.
