It looks like this year’s Auto Show in Geneva is definitely going to ignore this whole global recession thing. And one of the companies trying to impress, Bentley, is taking the green path with the new Continental Supersports. Considered “the fastest, most powerful and greenest Bentley ever”, it packs a mind blowing 6.0L twin-turbo W12 engine that outputs 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, tops at 204 mph and reaches 60 in just 3.7 seconds. Looking like a Bentley Continental GT Speed on steroids, the green aspect is that the white sexy coupe is capable of running on both gasoline and E85 biofuel. Please be advised that those giant black chrome wheels,the sporty black and red interior and the aggressive shapes, can cause some serious drooling… [via Autoblog]

Renowned for design consultancy and engineering services, the Italians from Zagato have hooked up with the South Africans from Perana Performance Group to come up with Perana Z-One. Expected to be unveiled in Switzerland next month, this limited-edition supercar looks like a Maseratti Gran Turismo with a longer hood and a shorter rear. Powered by a Vette 6.2L LS3 V8 engine that sports 440 horsepower, the stylish ride goes naught to 62mph in less than 4 seconds. With prices ranging from 50 to 90k Euro (US $63 to $115k), if the sexy coupe looks as good as these renderings, we have a hot seller. [via Autoblog]

Expected to be unveiled in Geneva next month, the new Audi TT RS managed to find its way out into the wild. Available in both coupe and cabriolet body styles, the sportiest TT ever packs front and rear fascias, slightly larger front air vents, those chic LED driving lamps, twin-spoked alloy wheels and a fixed rear spoiler that adds style and aggressiveness. As for what’s under the hood, expect a turbocharged 2.5 liter 5-banger mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel drive system, that manages to output nothing less than 340 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque. To the misfortune of North American buyers, the new Audi TT RS will be available in European markets two weeks after Geneva, with no sign of crossing the Atlantic. [via AutoBlog]
