What do fashion design and vehicles have in common? Plenty when you're talking about the 2009 Ford Flex. Former high-profile fashion designer, Anthony Prozzi, has drawn on his wealth of experience to create a luxurious upscale look for the Ford Flex. The New York-trained designer created a stylish interior with a fresh combination of colors, textures and materials that directly mirrors how we dress today. Flex is a convergence of form, function and fashion.

For car buffs it’s baffling (and pretty cool, too) to see a $70,000 Nissan weighing nearly 4,000 lbs whoop up on lighter, more powerful cars. The GT-R lapped more than five seconds quicker than a Corvette Z06 and 911 Turbo at Buttonwillow Raceway during Road and Track’s test, and Car and Driver pulled off some pretty incredible numbers during theirs, running 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in just 11.5 seconds. However, some have questioned the numbers. How does the GT-R, which has a weight-to-horsepower ratio 25% higher than the Turbo and Z06, beat both around the racetrack?
Motor Trend questioned the numbers too, and decided to check for themselves when they received a GT-R to review. They took the GT-R over to K&N Engineering in San Bernardino, CA, who strapped it to their in-house chassis dyno to see just how much horsepower the car was making. Three separate runs in fourth gear netted an average of about 430 horsepower at the wheels. Assuming a conservative 15% drivetrain loss, the GT-R is actually producing more than 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft torque at the flywheel. That helps explain the numbers, but it won’t give 911 Turbo and Corvette Z06 owners any comfort. Thanks for the tip, Jake!

It's no secret to anyone who follows auto news with us that we love the R8, as we followed most recently with the kick-off of Audi's new advertising blitz during the Superbowl. And Car Magazine's interpretation of what the R8 Spider may look like is incredible. No, this is not a production-ready convertible R8 but likely very close.
Now, is this better looking than other exotic convertibles? Ferrari's, both past and present, are always considered beautiful. Porsche's cabriolet, maybe not so much. Lamborghini's Gallardo Spyder also looks pretty good, but better than this R8?
Let us know what you think. Any exotic drop-top that you just love and couldn't live without? Do you own a convertible exotic? Let us know what you think.
