No, it’s not the Ferris Bueller car, but, to quote Yello, it’s “even more beautiful”. This is a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Cabriolet Pininfarina. It’s a stupidly long name for a car, but just look at it! Do 1960s cabrios get any better? 

Rolls Royce - Pininfarina project Hyperion will be present at Dubai this month

Rolls Royce - Pininfarina project 
 This unique car was first unveiled at Pebble Beach in 2008 and is due to appear at the Dubai International Motor Show later this month. Owner Alexander Pushlin will have it on display there at the Raxan Management stand.

The vehicle is truly one of a kind, because it is the only unit ever built. When it was commissioned the owner wanted Pininfarina to give the Rolls Royce Drophead coupe the look cars in the 30s had. And that means long hoods and short rears.

Police to get new trucks from Ram

Police to get new trucks from Ram

The First generation of Ram pickup trucks was built in 1981 and production still continues to this day. The current Forth generation has won multiple awards thanks to its excellent performances, adaptability and durability. 

Ram 1500 Special Services Police 

Along the years a number of special Rams were commissioned to fit various purposes, most of which involved looking good and having extra power added. Now it seems law enforcement agencies will have the privilege to enjoy purpose built Rams in performing heavy duties and other police related activities. 

While being a police officer has its rewards, the job also has a lot of hazards associated. For that reason they need tough cars capable of taking a beating and still be functional, as well as fast cars, though these are less often used. Current police cars offered by Chevrolet, dodge and other manufacturers are great cars in their own right, but when it comes to durability the Ram pickup truck has an edge over them.

Honda unveils electric sports car

First rumours of a new NSX, 

and now this: the ‘Small Sports EV Concept’

Honda has not one but two new sports cars up its sleeve, and here's the first: official sketches of The Small Sports Car EV Concept. And when they say small, they mean small. Very small.

(The second is a rumoured "new NSX", set to debut at the Detroit motorshow in January and the Avengers movie in May. Back to that in a minute, but you can see it below)

So, the small one pictured above. Honda says this little concept will preview a new sports car, so it is for real. But it's a little harder to work out exactly what it is.
