Even nostalgic throwback Morgan put on a good show this year in Geneva, displaying seven cars (okay, six-and-a-half—one was a cutaway) and unveiling the Aero 8 GT3, one of just three coupes purpose-built to compete in this season's FIA Championship (commencing May 6 at Silverstone).
Relying on a dry sump’d version of BMW’s 5.0-lite V-8 giving 420 brake horsepower, the GT3 is built on the Aero 8’s aluminum chassis and has a six-speed Hollinger sequential gearbox. The unusual-looking racer is clad in lightweight carbon composite panels.
There was a surprising amount of fuss being made over the GT3 at the stand, which leads us to wonder if the racer shown here will spawn a toned-down small-run production version at some point.

BMW cars for the future
Two graduates from Romanian industrial design, Andrei Avarvarii and Adrian Vasiliu, have presented a project for construction of a sports car BMW Z0 for the next decade working with hydrogen and has zero emissions of CO2, according auto.cz.Stocks fuels become increasingly smaller, and their prices have risen. Therefore, the two Romanian deemed ideal for their car would be a 1.6 liter engine and 147 kW (200 HP) to work with hydrogen. Internal combustion engine will have zero emissions of CO2, and the model name here Z0.

Peugeot wants to take a big step forward. In fact, three, as it aims to become the seventh biggest automaker in the world (it is currently the tenth). Besides changing its badge for the one you can see at the end of gallery below, it has announced 14 new cars from up to 2012. Will it work? If the new design directions it takes are well received by the public, perhaps. And the SR1 Concept gives us a hint on what this new design direction will be.
