When your talking about Automotive Inspired Timepieces, TAG Heuer is almost always somewhere close to the top of the list. Recently, they unveiled 7 new watch designs, 8 if you count the 2 different styles of the same design and they look promising.

Kimi Raikkonen Edition Chronograph

Designed to commemorate Kimi Raikkonen's career as a Formula 1 driver. More specifically his 2007 FIA World Championship Title behind the wheel of the Scuderia Ferrari. Black on black takes care of most of the color scheme while just a touch of red and white finish it up. The date is at the 12 o'clock position and Kimi's name is set at about 2 o'clock.

Indianapolis 500 Edition Chronograph

TAG Heuer has been an official sponsor and log time supporter of the Indy 500, so a special edition watch in its honor came as no real suprise. Most of the pieces are polished with black lettering. A red Indy 500 imprint is placed between the 12 and 2 o'clock position.

Formula 1 Edition Chronograph

Most of this watch is coated with black titanium carbide. The hands and hour markers are polished steel and most of the imprinting is white with some left over in red. The specific style is also available with a polished steel body and lighter face. Both can be fitted with either a steel or rubber band.

SLR Calibre S Chronograph

TAG designed this watch with one thing in mind : Racing. Being accurate to 1/10 of a second just wasn't enough, so they went to 1/100 of a second for a more precise laptime measurement. You can also recall the 20 best times from a small build in memory.

Grand Carrera Calibre 6RS

68 individual diamonds are set into the polished stainless steel bezel of this piece. It can be worn by either him or her and features a deep chocolate color that will math most casual and business attire. At the 6 o'clock position is a small rotating seconds dial.

Grand Carrera Calibre 8RS

If 68 diamonds isn't quite enough to satisfy your need for shiny things, maybe 72 diamonds will. The face is black with stainless hour markers and hands and the lead to 2 separate apertures. At 12 o'clock is a rotating date counter and at 6 o'clock is an additional time keeping reel for other timezones.

Grand Carrera Calibre 17RS - Rose Edition

In my opinion definitely the most stunning of the new releases, the rose edition is made of solid 18-carat rose gold. The face hold 3 windows one at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. The show the chronograph seconds, date and chronograph minutes respectively. The strap is hand sewn alligator and the clasp is also gold.

All of these are accurate to at least 1/10 of a second and come stamped with the TAG Heuer Logo. No word on the individual prices, but as with all TAG Heuer timepieces, they won't be cheap but most will be able afford them.
