First Recorded Crash of Ferrari 458 Italia!


It was bound to happen sooner or later; someone had the unfortunate luck of being the first one -or at least the first we've heard of- to crash Maranello's new 458 Italia supercar. Details remain scarce, though the guys over at Wreckexotics claim that this incident occurred in the city of Wroclaw in Poland.

Official Lancia Coupe and Ypsilon Designs from Centro Stile


Here are some conceptual drawings of Lancia models including a couple of unnamed coupes and proposals for a five-door replacement for the Ypsilon supermini found on the Italian automakers' official website.

The various drawings, which are posted alongside photos of older concepts that we've already seen at major car shows like the Fulvia Coupe and Granturismo Stilnovo, are projects designed in-house at the Fiat Group's Centro Stile. You can check them out in our gallery after the jump.

Black & White Limited Edition Part II: Vauxhall Corsa


Coincidently, Peugeot isn't the only carmaker launching a 'Black & White' edition of one of its models, so is Vauxhall that just announced a new special version of its Corsa supermini.

In Vauxhall's case, the new Corsa Black & White Limited Edition model combines a glacier white bodywork with black 17-inch twin spoke alloy wheels and detailing, topped off with a black sapphire roof.

Completing the look is a VXR styling kit comprising front and rear lower spoilers, side skirts and new roof spoiler while the car also sits on a lowered suspension.

The black and white theme is continued inside with the piano black centre console contrasted by the white air vents. The alloy sports pedals and Limited Edition badging round off the interior upgrades.

Standard specification on the limited edition Corsa includes air condition, fog lights, cruise control and CD changer with MP3 format including auxiliary connectivity.

UK buyers can choose from two engines, an 85PS 1.2-liter petrol, or the 75PS 1.3-liter CDTi ecoFLEX turbo diesel, with combined fuel consumption cycles of 53.3 and 65.7mpg UK respectively.

Prices for the Corsa Black & White range from £13,995 for the 3-door 1.2, to £15,400 for the 5-door ecoFLEX diesel.
