carscoop

Set to debut in Geneva (really really soon) is the Lamborghini Murcielago SV’s little brother. Called the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, it’s set to carry some of its older sibling’s feature characteristics (loud colors, swoopy graphics, big wing, and that black lower-body trim) while developing 570 horsepower
Unofficial numbers are claiming a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.4 blips and a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). For comparison’s sake, the former Superleggera cranked out 530 horsepower, hit 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, and topped out at 317 km/h (197 mph).

Hit the break for the leaked photos and don’t forget to check back soon for an updated gallery and official info.

For 2010, the Mondeo range benefits from the introduction of a new 2.0-liter Ecoboost turbocharged gasoline engine and reworked 2.0-liter TDCi diesel units, as well as a new six-speed dual-clutch Powershift transmission.

With an output of 203HP and a maximum torque of 300Nm, the 2.0L EcoBoost allows the Mondeo to achieve 0-62mph (100km/h) acceleration in 7.9sec (8.2sec for the estate) and reach a top speed of over 144mph (231km/h) for the four and five-door versions or 141mph for estates.

The 2.0-liter unit comes as standard with the Powershift dual-clutch transmission. Prices in the UK for the Ecoboost models start from £22,095.

Ford has also improved the Mondeo's 2.0-litre TDCi diesel that comes in three flavors with 115HP and 140HP and a new 163HP version. All new Mondeo TDCi models are equipped with six-speed manual transmission as standard, while the dual-clutch transmission is available as an option on the 140HP and 163HP 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi units.

The diesel-powered Mondeos start at £18,995 for the 115HP engine, £19,245 for the 140HP version and £19,895 for the range-topping 163HP unit.

Ferrari 458 Italia Themed after F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Jet Fighter

3:23 AM

carscoop

At a first glance, it appears that there's nothing really special about this 458 Italia other than it's a new Ferrari and that it's covered in dark grey vinyl wrap. However, take a closer look and things start to get interesting...

This Italian supercar was themed after the notorious F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft with the matte gray vinyl wrap incorporating a rivet-style design. Other notable features include the rivet graphics on the window and windshield frames as well as numerous other aircraft-inspired labels such as the "Heater Exhaust", "Beware of Jetblast" and "Pull to Open" [door-handle] signs. More photos after the jump.
