When BMW introduced the 5-Series Gran Turismo at the start of last year as the replacement for its 5-Series Touring station wagon, there were hopes that the oddly styled vehicle, the first incarnation of the automaker’s ‘Progressive Activity Sedan’ (PAS) design philosophy, would manage to draw in new customers to the brand...
Your wristwatch can say a lot about you as a person. Rolex? Traditional topsider type. Casio? Hipster. TAG Heuer? Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, a new line of watches wants to tell the world that you're a gearhead -- and it's got Jay Leno on its side. The line is called Bianci, and one glance at its "Pro Racing Watch" series reveals design inspirations...

Well, Ferrari has built another exotic with the innovative roof system, this time based on the 575M’s successor, the 599 GTB Fiorano.
