The Reventon is said to be the most outrageous Lamborghini ever made. Its production is limited to 20 models and it was sold out before the cars were even made.

The Bugatti Renaissance design project is designer John Mark Vicente’s vision for the supercar that will replace the (al)mighty Bugatti Veyron. Since the concept has really large shoes to fill, it works hard to carry the virtues of the Veyron along. There isn’t a radical change in the looks department, and we think there won’t be one in the performance either, what it does appear to change is by way of a few cosmetic changes, and perhaps a bit of green-ness. An interesting design exercise, but I wonder if Bugatti would consider a direct successor to the Veyron. More images after the jump.

Bugatti is one of the most celebrated marques of automobiles and one of the most exclusive French car producers of all time. The company is legendary for producing some of the best sports cars in the world. The original Bugatti failed with the advent of World War II, but the name has been resurrected twice, most recently under the Volkswagen group.

Bugatti’s cars were as much works of art as they were mechanical creations, with hand-turned finishes on the engine blocks, lightening holes in every conceivable location, and safety wires threaded through almost every fastener in intricately laced patterns. He regarded his arch competitor, Bentley, as “the world’s fastest trucks” for turning their attentions more towards durability. According to Bugatti, weight was the enemy. Bugatti’s disdain for his customers is as legendary as his devotion to his creations; in one apocryphal incident, upon greeting an unhappy customer returning to the factory with “What, you again?”, he replied to the subsequent tale of automotive mechanical woe with “Well, see that it does not happen again!” and strode away.

For months we have been seeing various renderings and spy shots as well as hearing tidbits of leaked information concerning the Ferrari F430 replacement. It has commonly been referred to as the Ferrari F450. However, we now have the official announcement on Maranello’s latest wondercar and it goes by the name Ferrari 458 Italia. Although we won’t get to see this car up close and personal until the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, we do have the official details as well as the first concrete pictures of this supercar.

The new direct-injection mid-rear mounted 4.5L V8 is seriously potent with 570 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, of which, 80% is available at 3,250 rpm. This brilliant engine is mated with a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox sending power to the rear axle. Similar to the outgoing Ferrari F430, the new 458 Italia has an aluminum frame which provides a very low dry weight of only 3,042 pounds. So, what’s the real story here?

The Ferrari 458 Italia now has the distinction of being the first production model capable of breaking the 200 mph barrier with a top speed of 202 mph. And the sprint from 0 to 62 mph takes only 3.4 seconds. Even though this car is much more powerful that the aging F430, the 458 Italia is more fuel efficient with a combined rating of 17.1 mpg as well as significantly reduced CO2 emissions.
