Frankfurt Motor Show: Top luxury models



Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale This beast of a car leaves nothing to be desired, boasting performance on par with the world's fastest -- 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and through to 200 km/h in 10.4 seconds. Just 150 will be built.Relaxnews


Ferrari 458 Spider Joining the 458 Italia, the new 458 Spider is also a world first when it comes to design -- the supercar is equipped with a fully retractable hard top, a world first for a sports car with this layout.Relaxnews


Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Dubbed the world's most expensive supercar (coming in at around €1.7 million), the Sesto Elemento is blisteringly fast, capable of reaching 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. Sadly, only 20 of the models will be produced, and even worse, you'll never see them on the road -- when they're delivered in 2013 they'll be destined for track use only.Relaxnews




Maserati GranCabrio Fendi A collaboration between two Italian greats, the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi is a special edition of the 4.7-liter V8 GranCabrio designed with legendary Italian designer Silvia Venturini Fendi.Relaxnews



Porsche 911 Carrera The Carrera returns, sleeker, lighter and more efficient than ever. The new model rides low on a 3.8-liter Boxer engine, delivering 14 percent better fuel consumption of just 8.2l/100km -- it's also the first Porsche to make it under the 200g/km mark in terms of emissions.Relaxnews



Bentley GTC Continental The latest incarnation of the footballer's favorite boasts a more powerful 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine as well as a new QuickShift transmission enabling faster gear changes than ever before. Customer deliveries are expected to begin later this year.Relaxnews



Maserati Kubang This is a concept for now, but it's among the most anticipated luxury models at the Frankfurt show -- a Maserati SUV, expected to hit production sometime in the next few years, based on the Porsche Cayenne platform but boasting a 4.7-liter V8 engine.Relaxnews
