VIDEO: Bentley Continental and Maybach 62 Scrape Sides in Russia

Whilst this incident isn't in way serious - thankfully, it's not every day that you see a Bentley Continental and a Maybach 62 scraping sides (or ends, we can't tell with certainty from the video). According to the Russian media, the accident happened somewhere in Moscow when the driver of the Bentley lost control of the car due the slippery conditions of the road. More pics and video after the break.

Thanks for the tip Allen!

Maserati Kuba SUV Design Study with a bit of Dodge Razor Flair

So what is this: a new Maserati SUV model; a concept teaser? Fortunately for those that think highly of the Italian automaker's latest designs such as the GrandTurismo, the answer to both questions is no. This is an extremely well executed but, sorry to say, far from sleek or stylish, independent design study for a crossover Maserati model created by Russian designer Andrey Trofimchuk. Furthermore, we couldn't help but notice some design similarities, especially up front, to the 2002 Dodge Razor Concept.

To be honest, if it weren't for the inverted A-pillar up front that was a dead giveaway, we wouldn't have thought of the American automaker's concept coupe. Well, at least that's what we think. As always, you can agree or disagree with us in the comment section below.

Iso Rivolta Marella Design Study Based on Corvette ZR-1

A Russian student from the Moscow State University of Industrial and Applied Arts has revived the famous Italian brand Iso Rivolta through a conceptual design study that was created as part of a "school" project in collaboration with Italy's Zagato design house. Fedor Stetskevich's proposal is called the Iso Rivolta Marella and it is based on the underpinnings of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - you know, the one that's powered by a supercharged V8 engine cranking out 640 ponnies.

All that in theory of course as the Iso Rivlota Marella exists only on paper and as a scaled down model. Overall we'd say that, while there are certainly attractive elements to the design, we reckon that Stetskevich's study needs more work to look the part.
