Some are definitely intriguing and even interesting, while (naturally) the Zonda C9 is a real-deal ladykiller

Well, maybe not all are great cars, they are indicative of the times we are living in, so I'm just keepin' y'all up to date, I guess... khm... you're welcome aaaaaanyhoo, here's the "gravy" (if it can be called that):

This here is going to be one hot mama of a supercar, methinks - when it finally comes out. Till then - spy shots:

And I've of course left the best for last - here's a concept of what the new open wheel racers in the IndyCar league may look like soon:

Not much about those wheels is very open. It would be fun to see a field of those racing!

Really, there is only two things I think this design has going against it:

1. it is way too big to be a race car

2. front track is too narrow to be stable in high speed turns.

Nevertheless, I'm very happy to see Indy finally thinking "outside the box" - I really wish racing became big again in the States.
