This car is best-known for being featured as Bumblebee in both Transformers movies. The 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro is dirived from the 2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept and 2007 Camaro Convertible Concept. Production was approved in August 2006 but has only started in March of 2009 and the car is marked as a 2010 model. When the car was used in the first Transformers movie in 2007 it was still in concept phase. A modified fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro was used in the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 2009. As far as I know this car will not be released in South Africa by Chevrolet. It would probably cost a ton to import a car like this to my home country. I will probably find it easier to buy a 2nd hand Chevrolet Camaro in the classifieds, otherwise I’d simply have to go on living without ever owning one.

The GT by Citroën made its debut as a concept car in October 2008 at the Paris Motor Show. Its rumored that Citroën will only build 6 or 8 of these. Each vehicle will cost approxamitely $2.1 million. This sports car was originally designed by Takumi Yamamoto for the video game, Gran Tourismo 5. He sold the concept to both Polyphony Digital and Citroën. This sports car is 2 seater, mid-engine coupe. Sources at Citroën say that most of the GT by Citroën’s outlandish features will make it to production, notably its carbon-fibre construction and unique interior. There is no clarity about which engine will be featured with this car yet, but it probably will not feature the hydrogen cell engine that’s featured in Gran Tourismo 5. I don’t think I’ll ever see one of these cars “in the flesh” in my home country, South Africa. I also don’t think you’ll find this car advertised in a classifieds publication or on a website (maybe a replica in a few years).
