Autumn 2013 LAMBORGHINI A special edition of the Gallardo, which is due to be phased out in the next round of Lamborghini supercars, the Squadra Corse has a 570hp 5.2 V10 in a lighter body and goes to 100km/h in 3.4 seconds. Squadra Corse is the company's new racing department. LEXUS LF-NX is a very in your face concept offers thoughts from Toyota's luxury brand on a smaller crossover/SUV than the current RX. The 2.5based hybrid powertrain includes the ability to work on electric power alone and the production car will target Audi's Q3 and the BMW X1 as well as the upcoming GLA from Mercedes-Benz. MASERATI A Quattraporte is a Quattraporte, right? Well yes, but there are always ways to make the 4-door supercar better, and for this Frankfurt the brand teamed up with high-end men's clothing, jewellery and fragrances maker Ermenegildo Zegna to show a special edition concept. It'll be available for sale, with special Zegna-themed upholstery and luggage. 38
