Our classic car tribute continues this time with a more upscale and exclusive sportscar, Lamborghini's first ever production model, the 350 GT / 400 GT. Story has it that back in the early 1960s, Feruccio Lamborghini was so disgruntled with his personal Ferraris that he decided to build his own line of supercars. At the time, most thought that Lamborghini was foolish to even think that he could rival Ferrari but the strong-willed Italian who had amassed a large fortune through his successful Lamborghini-branded tractors as well as from other businesses, was to prove them wrong.

With its UgurSahinDesign-penned exotic sheet-metal and Mallett-engineered 999 HP twin-turbo V8 Corvette Z03 is looking more fleshed out than when we last saw it just over one year ago.

In fact, it's more likely to be mistaken for a wild new Lamborghini or Lotus than half-of-a-Z06. So if you've felt your standard Vette was a bit pedestrian and you didn't make it on to the ZR1 waitlist, USD has teamed up with Mallett Cars to create this limited edition conversion. From the images we've seen it's clear the design benchmark for this vehicle is more of the Italian, mid-engined variety than anything available on this side of the Atlantic. The cost of looking good will set you back $69,000 on top of the cost of your donor Corvette.

The updated Mercedes-Benz S-Class is due to be introduced at the New York International Auto Show tomorrow, but thanks to a brochure leak, we now have the first images of the facelift model. Visually, the new S-Class has received a subtle makeover that includes revised headlamps and tail lights, a restyled rear bumper and a newly designed front bumper that incorporates LED driving lights. Merc's designers also seem to have refreshed the luxury sedan's interior trim. We'll have more on the 2010 S-Class after its debut in New York.
