David Hilton is the man behind the designs for the Ford Mustang, Focus RS and S-Max. That's a nice resume.
He is now working on the MC1, a British supercar. Britain is not too bad at building supercars and concept cars - witness the latest batmobile. And the MC1 is very drool-worthy.

for some reason, this one makes me think of the Plymouth Prowler, and that cheapens the effect somewhat.
McLaren F1
Gull-wing doors - a supercar isn't a supercar without them.
I would have bought the McLaren, but the bottom would scrape over the bumps in my driveway. Too bad
The Ascari A10
Top speed is supposed to be 220 mph. Oh, and just where do you go drive to check that out?
Ok, so this one is (so far) a total myth. There has been a lot of talk about Mercedes coming out with a supercar to compete against the Audi R8. Auto Motor und Sport, a German auto mag, took a gander at creating this concept for Mercedes, thank you very much.
But I must say, I think it looks smashing! I would buy it!

Well, what can one think of the Porsche Panamera? The front is unmistakably Porsche. So is the rear.... after our hearts and minds adjusted to the Cayenne. And the minor camouflaging isn't enough to confuse impressions of what the spoiler would look like..... unless they ended up without a spoiler. But still, Porshe, you've just diluted your brand for me. I can never see Lamborghini doing this!
Random thought - if there's a spoiler, and some machinery to control it (assuming that its not fixed in place, which hopefully it isn't), then how far does that cut into trunk space?
The Ferrari F149 is now not called the Dino, eh. But who knows, we might find something else out in October at the Paris Motor Show.

I love spy shots, spy videos, spy anything for new upcoming cars. The Porsche Panamera has been a badly kept secret for a while; this uber German car, coming out in 2009, has been photographed and video taped quite a bit.
After the jump, we have 2-minute video footage of the Porsche Panamera, that shows off all the car's lines, as well as some really nice photos. I have to say, I'm still reserving my opinion on the car - I can't quite figure out what to make of its shape, and the fact that Porsche is now making.... gasp... sedans! But if I had the chance.. yes, I would indeed want to drive it on the autobahn.
Hope its worth it, to have Aston Martin and Porsche diving into the 4-door sedan market.
