The convertible version of Ferrari’s hardcore 458 Speciale has been revealed, and it’s called the 458 Speciale A. The A is for the Italian word Aperta, roughly translating to “open,” and the production run for this latest Prancing Horse will be just 499 units.

The new RC F coupe we recently drove isn’t the only high-performance F model Lexus has in the hopper. Today we have new spy shots of a prototype for the upcoming GS F, which looks to be almost complete and thus could be making its world debut as early as this November’s 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. All the tell-tale F signs are there, like the aggressive front bumper with huge air intakes and protruding splitter, front fender vents, chunky side sills, stacked exhaust tips, and integrated rear diffuser. The car also looks to be sitting lower than the regular GS and it wears much...

It's not as sharp a performer as some of its rivals, the automated manual version leaves a bit to be desired in the shifting arena, and it's generally a rather expensive proposition in its segment.

MUST SEE: Tesla Model S Convertible Is Real: Video There's another version of the V8 Vantage, however, that has created a bit of a stir in the exotic sports car segment. It's called the V8...
