Feast For Your Eyes: Italian Tuning Show Babes

“My Special Car Show” is an automotive customisation exhibition that took place at Rimini Fiera in Italy from 28 to 30 March, 2008. As with all tuning salons, there was no shortage of babes at “My Special Car Show”. Luckily for us, our fellow blogger-buddies at Autoblog.it were kind enough to capture many of the babes on film so we can get a taste of what we missed out on. Did we mention that there were a lot of poles at the exhibition centre in Rimini? –Image gallery after the jump

Lumma Design CLR X650 Based on the BMW X6

Lumma Design, notorious for its extreme tuning propositions (remember the M5 based CLS 500 RS?) is getting ready to strike again; this time with the BMW X6 based CLR X650 that will make its first public appearance at the forthcoming Paris Auto Show in October. Aside from the teaser sketch, the German tuner hasn’t released any official details on its lime-green monster crossover but we gather it’ll pack plenty of more ponies under the hood than its stock siblings. -Continued

From what we can tell by looking at the teaser sketch, the CLR X650 will get a wide bodykit that includes new front and rear bumpers along with 20+ inch black alloy wheels wrapped in high performance tires.

Ford Focus RS Concept – First Official Images?

After the premature leak of the new BMW 7-Series, the second crack in the dam today comes once again from Germany. This time it’s the highly anticipated Ford Focus RS Concept that will be revealed to the public for the first time at the British Auto Show in London on July 22.

We traced these pictures -that look pretty official - back to the German car magazine “Autozeitung”. We remind you that a couple of weeks ago, Ford released a set of official images featuring a lightly camouflaged Focus RS on the Ring along with the initial details on the car’s specs - click here

Ford had told us then that the Focus RS will be equipped with a revised version of the Focus ST’s 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine generating over 280PS and more than 400 Nm of torque. According to Autozeitung, the RS will deliver exactly 300 Hp to the front wheels along with 410 Nm of torque. -Continued

We’re not so sure about the lime-green color of the concept, but the Focus RS sure looks menacing. As for the interior and apart from the bi-color bucket seats, we can’t see any visible changes compared to the Focus ST’s cabin.
