0 The design of the Italian supercar is the work of result of the collaboration between the Ferrari Styling Centre and Pininfarina. The company claims that downforce has been improved by 76 percent (123 kg at 200 km/h or 124mph) while drag has been reduced to Cd 0.299, thanks in part to the active aero parts such as the Aero Bridge that uses the bonnet to generate downforce at the front by channeling air away and the Active Brake Cooling ducts. As for the interior, Ferrari says it has optimized the cabin to ensure maximum usability of the interior space with additional luggage capacity behind the seats.

We heard earlier this month that Volkswagen might introduce the production version of its Golf GTI Cabriolet at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Salon.

Carscoop can now confirm the news and add that the German company will also premiere another new model, the Polo GT Blue fitted with VW's new 1.4 TSI with a cylinder deactivation system.

The Golf GTI Cabriolet was previewed as a thinly disguised concept model at last year's Wörthersee fest in Austria, alongside the Golf R Cabrio study .

In standard trim at least, the production model will drop the concept's aggressive body kit along with the LED headlamps and bespoke 19-inch wheels, but these may be offered on the optional list.

The soft-top version will be powered by the same 208bhp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot as the three-door GTI. During the presentation of the concept, Volkswagen had said that the Cabrio's performance matched that of the regular GTI with a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 7 seconds and a top speed of around 240km/h (149 mph).
