RIP hongkongphooey



Renowned modifier, restorer and all-round good egg Simon Baldwin (aka hongkongphooey) was tragically killed in a car accident on Friday night. Our thoughts are with his family.

Here's to you Si, pulling a cheeky burnout through the pearly gates. May your legacy live on through your unique works.



Imperia GT



The Imperia GT is Belgium's answer to a question that nobody really asked: can an unknown low-volume manufacturer make a retro-styled hybrid sports car with ultra-low emissions and a 911 price tag?
Well, yes - Imperia can offer similar C02 levels to a Smart car from their combination of 210bhp 1600cc petrol four-pot mated to 136bhp electric motor. If they can overcome their battery weight issues, they'll be able to offer 0-60mph in sub-6s for around £65,000. Click here for more info.

It looks pretty cool. But who's going to buy it...?

Bertone B99



B is for Bertone, 99 is the number of years the firm have been around. Put them together and you get the latest Jaguar concept, due to debut at Geneva.
Whilst retaining a classic Jag silhouette, it's actually only the size of a 3-series. But much more luxurious, obviously. The pillarless doors cleverly disguise the fact that this coupe is actually a four-door, while the slitty lights echo those of the C-X75 concept. Apparently it has a hybrid drivetrain too, but we don't really give a toss about that. (C'mon, it's a Jag - it should have a big, lazy V8 and single-figure fuel economy.)

Trabant nT



I've always been a fan of the Trabant 601's cheeky styling, but even the most evangelical supporter of the brand would admit that the car had its problems. Chief among these were an asthmatic two-stroke engine that, while smelling brilliant, would struggle to relieve a rice pudding of its skin, and bodywork that was inexplicably delicious to livestock. Happily, both of these issues have been addressed with the new Trabant nT: the bodywork's made of good ol' steel, while the powerplant is - wait for it - electric.

The nT is just a prototype for now, while investors are sought. But if it enters production, it'll apparently only cost about £7000 to buy one. Which is fantastic news.

Mini Rocketman



In an ideal world, 'Mini Rocketman' would be what Elton John called his son. But it does equally well for Mini's latest concept, due to be unveiled at the Geneva show. It answers criticisms that have been circulating since the launch of the New Mini - that its inflated size is an insult to Issigonis' pure design - by being really rather small. Brilliantly, they're calling it a '3+1'; you can get three people in there in relative comfort, four at a push. But you're better off having two (or, ideally, one).

If it does go into production, we'll have to hope that they don't make a convertible... those funky rear light hoops would make it look like a shopping trolley.

Bugster

Take one Beetle bodyshell...



...mount it to a Boxster chassis...



...and you get a Bugster! Brilliantly simple, right?
Well, no, hideously complicated. But well worth it. 270bhp of mid-engined tomfoolery in a classic shape, liberally smothered in a controversial shade of Lamborghini grey. Click here for the full gallery.
