Voigtlander/Cosina announced new Contax mount body. It will fit most if not all of your existing classic Contax rangefinder lenses. Camera is based on the Voigtlander R2 body (build in meter, frames). Some sneak pics can be seen here:

New lenses are 28mm, 50mm, 90,, and previously made: 21mm, 25mm and 35mm. Plus of course an additional trigger winder will also be available.
I think this is very exiting especially for owners of the good classic Zeiss glass but not so excellent bodies. At least this was my case. I got a body and a lens at a bargain but the body started to give up on me and I couldn't afford any extra focal lengths so I had to sell it off. Now I know I could have kept the lens and use the original Contax body as a backup.
