What to do if your 505-horsepower, 184-mph, 6.75-liter V-8 Bentley Mulsanne just doesn't seem quite sporty enough, despite hurtling the mass of the moon to 60 mph in a scant 5.1 seconds? Why, get a Mulsanne Mulliner Specification instead. The new package, set to debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, promises a sportier sensibility, coach-built luxury, and a few unique add-ons. Two-piece, bright-finished aluminum alloy 21-inch wheels with race-derived titanium fasteners, 265/40 ZR21 tires, and a new Sport setting on the Drive Dynamics Control system all add up to enhanced performance as well as...

Lotus' rebirth as a more luxurious, less lightness-focused company is well underway, and it will get a bit farther along come March's Geneva Motor Show. It looks like a convertible may be in the offing. While we can't be sure--Lotus's release is cryptic at best--all of the indicators point toward a drop-top version of one of its cars. We're putting our money on the Evora, since it's basically the only real car still in the company's global sales lineup, though a concept of one of the upcoming Lotus models due over the next few years is also possible. With images of a hat-pattern sunburned...

Another of Mopar's 75th anniversary special-editions, the Mopar '12 300 is based on the 2012 Chrysler 300, glossed up and tweaked to satisfy all your murder-sedan needs. Wearing a sinister coat of gloss black paint, accented by Mopar blue pinstripes and black chrome trim, the '12 300 looks stealth, but it definitely won't fly under the radar. Black wheels complete the murdered out look. Inside, there's Katzkin leather seats, limited edition badges, Mopar blue highlights, piano black trim, and something Chrysler calls "matte carbon hydrographic accents." OK, whatever. Even though the Mopar '12...
