The convertible Camaros you see pictured above were spotted by Camaro5 forums member isszy at the Fisherman’s Bend Holden plant in Port Victoria, Australia.

At the Fisherman’s Bend Holden plant this morning, I spotted these - 8 production ready Camaro convertibles. The one at the end had a black roof, the rest were tan/brown. The roof line looks much nicer than the early prototypes.

Theye were all LHD from what I could see.

This comes as great news for Camaro fans (including us too), because lately GM has played a lot with the model’s launch date, which was recently pushed back from 2012 to 2011. The photos show the project’s doing good and latest reports say that the Camaro Convertible production is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2011.

I almost forgot to mention that last week I posted about the promised test drive with the 2009 BMW 330d xDrive, in our Test Drive Section. I really liked the car which, except for some minor flaws, is brilliant. Expensive car, but brilliant. You can read the full review by clicking HERE.

And right now I’m working on the review (hope it will be up soon) for the MINI Cooper S Cabrio I drove last week, about which all I can say is that it completely blew my mind.

German company Gemballa has been for creating some scary beasts based on Porsche models, like the Avalanche or the Tornado. And now they’re back, with the Gemballa Mistrale, a 750 hp monster based on the new Porsche Panamera.

The first thing you notice about the car is its appearance, Gemballa showing a more agressive body kit, with more sporty front skirt, larger air inlets, integrated carbon lip, restyled bonnet with slotted ventilation ducts, extended front and rear fenders and newly designed rear apron with integrated diffuser. All aerodynamics components are made of ultra-light and high-strength material carbon and the package is completed by a new sport exhaust with four end pipes and ultra-light 22-inch forged rims.

Under the hood, Gemballa offers powerful performance enhancements up to 750 hp for different serial engines. To handle all that power, the German tuner also made some changes to other components of the car, such as the newly programmed air suspension module with extended setting range which lowers the center of gravity by 40 milimetres and a high-performance brake system.

If we didn’t know better, we’d say Bumblebee (the famous Camaro from Transformers) is out of a job at Hollywood and has decided to make some money by promoting cars in Mexico. But it’s not the case, because a Mexican Chevrolet dealership found a new way to promote their cars: they took a man, dressed him up as Bumblebee and made him transform into a Camaro…literally. You have to see this! Enjoy!
