Along with the forward-looking I-Pace, Jaguar has used the Geneva motor show to peek at the rear-view mirror. The 'Greatest Hits' XJ6, developed for Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, is designed to celebrate five decades of the XJ badge, and combines classic looks with tasteful modern touches. The car you see here isn't the work of a moment: Jaguar says the project involved 3500 man hours and more than 4000 refinished, replaced or refurbished parts throughout.

UPDATE (8/3): Mercedes-Benz Australia has confirmed there are no plans to bring the S-Class Exclusive Editions to Australia at this stage. Mercedes-Benz has revealed the S-Class Exclusive Edition in both Coupe and Cabriolet forms at the Geneva motor show. With European sales commencing in April, the Exclusive Edition can be added to "almost any engine variant", and carries a slew of unique appointments to make the already-exclusive flagship Benz that bit more special.

Kia has released a pair of sketches previewing its upcoming K900 flagship, ahead of a likely debut at the New York motor show next month. The company describes its large sedan as "sophisticated and stately", with a new grille containing 176 individual jewel-like cells. Apparently, it's designed to be "suggestive of released energy flowing away from its centre" but, to our eyes, it looks remarkably similar in concept to the Diamond Grille debuted on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Regular Aston Martin Valkyrie look too timid for you? Chasing a proper racing experience, but not keen on an actual race car? Meet the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, ready to crush tuned MX-5s and BRZs at your next track day. Okay, so it isn't really aimed at the amateur track set. Breathe easy, your Miata is safe. The AMR Pro designed to translate LMP1 or F1 performance to a language mere mortals can understand, provided they have the money to buy in. On looks alone, it seems capable.

Subaru has unveiled the latest addition to its ever-expanding lineup of Viziv show-cars, revealing the Viziv Tourer Concept in Geneva. Just like the concepts preceding it, the Viziv Tourer is unlikely to be a pure flight of fancy from Subaru. Its past show-cars closely previewed the Ascent, and elements of previous Viziv studies have found their way into the production Impreza and Outback.
