Fully redesigned in 2011, the Jeep Grand Cherokee retains its rugged image and performance, however it is now a CUV. This modern creation of an American icon is laced with its semi-European parent company’s innovations. Now benefiting from a refined suspension and interior, the Grand Cherokee provides the fine details in make and design found in other Daimler-Benz vehicles. With such a complete package, the Grand Cherokee continues to improve on the already historic name of Jeep.

Koenigsegg CCR
The Koenigsegg CCR is an automobile made by Koenigsegg. Designed and manufactured in Ängelholm, Sweden, it debuted at the 2004 Geneva Auto Show. It briefly held the world speed record for a production car. The CCR is currently the fourth fastest production car in the world, behind the Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
Ferrari 288 GTO
The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 through 1986, designated GT for Grand Turismo and O for Omologato (homologation in Italian).
The Ferrari GTO was built to compete in the new Group B Race series and a minimum of 200 cars were required for homologation. However as only Ferrari and Porsche, with their 959, entered, the series was soon abandoned leaving just Group B Rally championship. The Porsche 959 (as the Porsche 961) only raced three times in Group B, but the 288 GTO never raced and all 272 cars built remained purely road cars.
Some of the 288 GTO's styling features were first displayed on a 308 GTB design exercise by Pininfarina shown at the 1977 Geneva Salon. This included the deep front spoiler, fender flares, rear lip spoiler, front lid radiator cooling louvers and quadruple driving lights.
