Confession time: I have never, ever been behind the wheel of an air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Not even once
After the first spy shots and a look at the clay design model, AutoExpress had a good base to make this rendering of the future McLaren P11 supercar. The P11 will go on sale in 2010 and will move the company sightly more mainstream as it competes with models like the Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari F430.
The design of the P11 may be trying to connect it with the McLaren F1. The large dual-gill air intakes are almost an inverted version of the F1’s brake vents; the wraparound sideglass takes a similar hilltop shape; and front shares the same large hoodline with dual headlights under one housing. What is not expected from the F1 are items like the gold insulation in the engine compartment and the center driving position.

Roadster and Volante - these are the usual names for the open-top models from Aston Martin. But the topless version of the DBS may not follow the same rule.
An Aston Martin spokesman said that the company is still looking for a name suitable for the sports-car and that it “is not sure this will be Roadster or Volante.” The company is currently using the Roadster name for convertibles with two-seats and Volante for a four-seats, but the DBS is something a little more special that may deserve it own name.

Now that car keys have going electric (like having proximity sensors) have you ever wondered what else it may be able to do? How about a credit card?
