Bell & Ross normally makes fancy watches, but it seems to have diversified into, erm, supercars. This is the Aero GT Concept - a surprisingly excellent-looking design study presented alongside a couple of motoring-inspired watches at this week"s Baselworld exhibition in Switzerland. Think Geneva Motor Show, only for watches instead of cars.Even though the Aero GT doesn"t actually exist per se, it looks like B&R has gone about this whole thing quite seriously. Along with these computer-generated shots, it"s released a hypothetical set of specs. The engine is (well, would be) a bi-turbo 602bhp 4.2-litre V8, paired with an eight-speed double-clutch box and rear-wheel drive. It quotes a 0-62mph time of 2.9secs and a top speed of 196mph. B&R says it"d weigh 1320kg thanks to a carbon monocoque, plus carbon and aluminium body panels.
