Aston Martin has created a special one-off car called the CC100
During Aston Martin’s 100 years of existence, it has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans just once, and that was way back in 1959 (with no less than Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori as co-drivers). If it’s shocking that a dedicated sports-car manufacturer with a rich motorsports background only took the checkered flag once at the famed Circuit de la Sarthe, then it likely is entirely un-shocking that the same automaker mined the winning DBR1 racer for inspiration to create a celebratory show car. The result is the CC100 Speedster concept, which by and large resembles the DBR1 race car as formed in the crucible of 60 years of evolution and modernization.

This car known as Nissan Skyline 350-Z. The Nissan Skyline is a line of compact cars, sports cars and compact executive cars originally produced by the Prince Motor Company starting in 1955, and then by Nissan after the two companies merged in 1966. After the merger, the Skyline and its larger counterpart, the Nissan Gloria, were sold in Japan at dealership sales channels called Nissan Prince Shop.The Skyline also famous as Drifters choice.
The Skyline was largely designed and engineered by Shinichiro Sakurai from inception, and he remained a chief influence of the car until his death in 2011.
The Marussia B2
The Marussia B-Series is a series of sports coupés built by Russian automaker Marussia Motors (pronounced ma-rus-ya). The series consists of the B1 and the B2; the cars are very similar technically, but are very different in design. The two vehicles have the same engines, layout, features, suspension, brakes, and price (>4,000,000 rubles or about 100,000 € or 85,000₤). They are the first Russian sports cars ever built.

Aston Martin DB9
The Aston Martin DB9 is a grand tourer first shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Available both as a coupe and aconvertible, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7. It was the first model built at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility.
The DB9, designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, is made of largely aluminium. The chassis is the VH platform, also found in the Aston Martin DBS. The engine, on the other hand, is the 6.0L V12 from the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. The most recent Aston Martin has a top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph) and a 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) time of 4.1 seconds.
The DB9 is rated well by car critics, who appreciate the car's interior and exterior design. Additionally, in spite of the DB9's weaker engine and handling, reviewers liked the car's ride and driving experience. They held issue with the DB9's small rear seats and cargo space and poor satnav, however.
Aston Martin Racing has adapted the DB9 for sports car racing, producing the DBR9 for FIA GT1 and the DBRS9 for FIA GT3. These two cars are lightened DB9s; the interior features are removed and the aluminium body panels are replaced by carbon fibre panels. Additionally, engine has been tweaked in both the cars to produce more horsepower. The DBR9 has won in several events, including its debut event.
Saleen S5S Raptor
Anyone thinking that Steve Saleen's departure from the company that bears his name would result in the end of super cars such as the famous S7 its would be wrong. That's because now based in Troy, Michigan, as opposed to its former headquarters in Irvine California, has unveiled an all new super cars called the S5S Raptor.
If you're thinking the Raptor name has anything to do with the famous American fighter jet, guess again. Saleen chose this name because a raptor is a bird of prey - you know hawks, falcons and vultures that swoop down from the sky and hook innocent little mice and gophers with their claws and then tear them apart and eat them with their sharp beaks. In other words the S5S Raptor is intended to be one mean machine.
It also appears that besides the S5S Raptor being a more road and people friendly car than the S7 [which is no longer produced for sale in the U.S, although it is still sold abroad] it will also be a lot kinder on your wallet: Saleen expects to sell it for $185,000, compared to the price of $580,000.
