Filandri Moreno may not be Enzo Ferrari, but he sure dreams like the late founder of the Italian supercar maker. Moreno, a 47-year old citizen of Northern Italy, has emerged from his garage after building his own supercar for the last four years. The amazing part about the car, which Moreno dubbed the Uragano (Italian for Hurricane), is that Moreno built the entire car himself — every detail, from the car’s brakes to suspension.

We have seen a fair amount of spy photos of Mercedes’ upcoming new super car, dating back to August 2007 in the US desert. Rumours about the car are various, ranging from plausible (Mercedes-Benz SLR replacement) to wild speculations (Maybach Coupe). Today we show you pictures of then new Gullwing undergoing some handling test at Germany’s famous Nurburgring.

The long awaited four-door Aston Martin Rapide has been spotted, almost completely undisguised, doing laps of the Nurburgring. The car was last spotted on the frozen lakes of Sweden for winter testing, and somewhere in between its journey from Sweden to Germany the Rapide was given a full-length glass roof starting at the top of its windshield and going all the way to the boot. While the rear lights in the spy shots are similar to the plain red ones found on the DB9, it is uncertain whether the production version will share the same clear taillights of the original concept version from 2006’s Detroit Auto Show.

A Maserati MC12 has been listed on eBay. Only 25 were made in 2005 and just 7 were federalized for use in USA, one of which is this blue-and-white gem you see above. Similar to its brother, the Ferrari Enzo, the MC12 shares not only the Ferrari 6.0-liter V12, but the same hefty price tag, as well.

The current bid for this particular example is over $1,205,100 with 19 Hours left. Originally owned by a collector in Florida, it is up for sale by Lamborghini of Las Vegas and only has 521 virgin miles on her.

BMW’s Concept CS is now showing off its futuristic interpretation of a sports coupe GT at the New York International Auto Show being held in Manhattan, NYC. The Concept CS you’ll recall, made its first public appearance at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2007. The car, bigger than a 7 Series, is the next style benchmark for BMW, taking flame surfacing to its next level.

Featuring an interior fit for a proper GT, the Concept CS will definitely be built, according to sources inside BMW.

Since 1984, Saleen has been modifying Mustangs, competing with the likes of Steeda and Roush. Five years ago, Steve Saleen announced the super exotic Saleen S7, which was a gigantic departure for the company. They went from taking on Corvettes to taking on Murcielagos, Carrera GTs, and Enzos.

Saleen continued its foray into the supercar world by contracting the painting and some assembly of Ford GTs and Dodge Vipers in its Troy, Michigan facility. The S7 Twin Turbo ended production in 2006, and Steve Saleen no longer has any connection with his namesake manufacturer. (He went on to work for Chinese car manufacturer Chamco last year, but parted ways soon after.)

We all love renderings of both future production vehicles and cars that will never see a production line in our lifetime. The Husmen 699 GTO likely falls in the latter camp, but that doesn’t make it less impressive. Designed by Emre Husmen, a Transportation Design student at IED - Turin, the 699 GTO takes inspiration from a file folder of past Ferraris including the 250 GTO, 250 TR, P4, the current 599 GTB Fiorano and even Alfa Romeo’s 8C Competizione. Quite a collection of muses, but the resulting work speaks for itself. Husmen says that while the 699 GTO sports dimensions similar to that of a present day 599, it would be 200 kg lighter thanks to its carbon fiber body and feature a twin-supercharged V8 that runs on biofuel. Oh, and for those worried about clipping curbs or trying to park this thing at the mall, it’s fitted with a hydraulic suspension and rear backup camera to aid the driver in real world situations.

Unlike most renderings AutoBlog receives from design students, the 699 GTO isn’t entirely a pie-in-the-sky art project. Husmen claims that he is in contact with a coachbuilder in Italy that’s considering putting the car into production. He said they wanted feedback on the car first, and that’s what we’re here for.
