Most of the show’s 31 press conferences on Thursday were scheduled for 15 minutes, and Lotus crammed six new product presentations into that meager time span.

Thanks to our skilled spy photographers, we bring you more images of the so-called Pagani C9 supercar caught resting from high altitude runs in southern Europe. So far, this is the best look at the car’s curvaceous exterior, which, of course, is made from a lightweight carbon composite material. Unlike the smashed prototype in Germany, this prototype is completely intact, and by the looks of it, is in near production specification. Its rounded nose is interesting, to say the least — the huge sculpted a…

Infiniti chief Andy Palmer has confirmed that the brand will get a fully electric vehicle based on the Nissan Leaf. The car will be launched in 2013 and it will come to the U.S. market. This sketch, distributed at a press conference in London, shows what seems to be one of several styling proposals for the final car.
Besides the EV, Infiniti also will get another compact, entry-level car; think Audi A3 competitor. It will be decidedly sporty, with gasoline engines for the U.S. and available diesels for…
