Amazing Lamborghini Aventador J
Starting with the everyday 700-hp Aventador, Lamborghini taunted the bull even further by removing the roof, adding several aerodynamic panels and generally shucking weight from a car that only had 3,472 lbs. to begin with. Even the seat fabrics have been swapped for something Lamborghini calls "Carbonskin," a fabric made from carbon fibers that's at least a decade away from being used on a teenager's hat. With no windshield, the interior has to get some form of waterproofing; the rear mirror pops up like Wall-E's head from the center of the dash. It and the roll bars behind the driver are the highest points in the car.

New Concept Car Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Ferrari has unveiled the F12 Berlinetta declaring it to be its “fastest road car ever".
Coming just days before the start of the Geneva Motor show, the F12 boasts a top speed of 211mph, reaching 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds.
Using tricks learned from its Formula 1 cars, Ferrari claims the F12 burns less fuel and goes faster than its predecessors thanks to combination of high-tech machinery, wickedly complex weight loss schemes and a bit of black magic aerodynamics.
The 6.3-liter V-12 shared with the Ferrari FF has been boosted to 730 hp and 509 ft-lbs of torque, yet can get nearly 19 mpg under Euro testing with an optional stop-start system.
That power goes through a seven-speed gearbox and electric differential, both resized to shrink the car's footprint.
