Aston Martin unveiled a scale model of the new One-77 at the Geneva Motor Show today. The technical showcase was on display alongside Chassis no.1 in an effort to show off Aston Martin's engineering and design expertise. "We wanted to create something that wows you as much when you see what's under the skin as the exterior styling itself," Chris Porritt, One-77 program manager said.

The highly-anticipated One-77 is claimed to be the definitive sports car, epitomizing the technology and hand-craftsmanship synonymous with the British marque. Though the full-scale model was an exterior only, pointing to the design of the forthcoming limited-edition vehicle, its interior rem ained unfinished. Aston says the body of the final car will be adorned with hand-rolled aluminum panels and the cabin will be finished using exotic materials.

Zagato Perana Z-One

Zagato will unveil a concept called the Perana Z-One at the Geneva Motor Show next week, commemorating the company's 90th anniversary. With a long hood and short rear deck, the supercar has been given proportions befitting a grand tourer.

Though the coachbuilder has not provided much information on the two-seat concept, the gaping oval grille and large air intakes above the sill and below the shoulderline indicate the car is powered by a large front-mounted conventional powerplant. Large vertical headlamps flank the hood, which features still more mesh-covered air outlets for dissipating heat. In profile, the concave fender morphs through the door to become a pronounced rear haunch. The grille's shape is also repeated at the rear on a broader scale, as is the headlamp design, with smaller circular lamps encased within the taillamp housing. The concept's double bubble roof, flowing from the steeply raked windscreen through to the backlight, is also a definitive Zagato design element.

We'll bring you additional details once we see the Perana Z-One in the metal at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
