On the market since 2007, Nissan's GT-R has a unique functionalism that, in our eyes, is a perfect visual match for the car's titanic abilities. Facelifted and lightly fettled for both 2011 and 2012, the current GT-R is now in the twilight of its life, but a new model is promised for 2013

Rethinking the Mercedes Silver ArrowThe classic 1930s and 1950s Silver Arrows from Mercedes count as some of the most beautiful racing cars ever designed. Hubert Lee - the creative director of Mercedes' LA design operation - created a new Mercedes Silver Arrow for the 2011 LA auto show design competition, the LA Design Challenge. The theme for 2011 was cars for a futuristic Hollywood movie. 'We looked at many influences, but Syd Mead was definitely one,' Lee explains. Beneath the silver wheel shells are omni-directional diagonal rubber sections on a roller that allow steering in all directions. To enable access for passengers, 'the whole dashboard, bonnet and front grille slides forward as one section into the scooped area between the front wheels to create the space for the doors to open up, scissor-style'

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 ConvertibleChevrolet proved that not all muscle cars are created equal when it unveiled the 580hp supercharged 6.2-litre V8 Camaro ZL1, the most powerful convertible ever made. If it lagged behind the Shelby Mustang GT500 in muscle, it more than made up for it in looks. Chevrolet has spend a great deal of work reinforcing the chassis so performance may get close to its hardtop sibling. Despite looking like it's destined for the drag strip, a Magnetic Ride Control system should mean it can corner properly too. The model is due on sale in late 2012 www.chevrolet.com
