The two-seater convertible...

The two-seater convertible will be seen whizzing around the capital"s streets, with a young woman driving and a man on the passenger side. At the end of the clip, he climbs from the car and the line "Vauxhall Tigra. Two seats. Use them wisely" appears on screen. The advert - to accompany new cinema and video releases from November - will target young female buyers.



And as you can see...

And as you can see, the roadgoing model is virtually identical to the Prototipo which wowed crowds at March"s Geneva event. Thankfully, its designers have maintained the hatchback"s neat proportions and flowing curves, sacrificing few of the show car"s sharp edges and neat creases. The only things that are missing are the Prototipo"s centrally mounted exhaust and the deep bumpers with swanky honeycomb mesh.

So much so, the firm...

So much so, the firm is even importing an all-new version, the VXR8, from Australia later this year (read test here).

The current issue of...

The current issue of the mag features an exclusive first sight of the open-top Spider version, which is expected to go on sale in the UK early in 2006. Similar to the outgoing 360 Spider, the new drop-top loses none of the visual drama of the F430, and will come with a fabric hood which folds electrically into a compartment in front of the mid-mounted engine.

Roll hoops behind the seats will protect the driver and passenger in the event of an accident, and there"s a wind deflector screen between them to keep buffeting to a minimum.

The F430 Spider will have the same 490bhp, 4.3-litre V8 engine as the hard-top, which will help it hit 60mph from rest in less than four seconds. As with the coup탩, the Spider features a cutting-edge electronic differential called E-Diff, and will come with an array of steering wheel-mounted switches.

These controls will give the driver the ability to adjust the car"s dynamic set-up while on the move, a feature which has been taken directly from the company"s Formula One racer. The new Spider will cost slightly more than the current 360 version, which is í‚á£112,195.
