Bologna Motor Show 2008 gallery

Some of the weirder sights at the Italian motor show

It's motor show time again - and while Bologna normally ranks as one of the motoring calendar's smaller shows, it still has the power to surprise. Nobody saw the VW Scirocco Studie R coming, a major hint at a future hot coupe to take the Germans' fight to the Focus RS.

The Ferrari Scuderia Spider got its major debut on home turf, while the Gallardo LP560-4 has also dropped its roof in successful fashion, with a smart black car (pictured) on display alongside the ever-popular Estoque.
