Sports Cars of the Future: 2012 Porsche 911 - New and Future Cars

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 06:44:00 +0000

Shocking news flash: The next update of Porsche’s iconic 911, scheduled to arrive in 2011 as a 2012 model, won’t look drastically different from the current car! Okay, not really a news flash, but apparently enough changes will take place, specifically under the skin, that the 2012 model will be designated a 998 (the current car is internally considered the 997 II).

Visually, the next 911 will sport reworked headlights, a new front fascia, larger LED taillights, a new rear bumper and an update to the speed-activated rear wing. Porsche is keen to add performance and improve efficiency of the 911 through weight savings (including extensive use of aluminum) and new engine technologies that increase horsepower while reducing fuel consumption. We expect the Carrera will jump to about 360 bhp and the Carrera S to 400 bhp.

2012 Nissan GT-R Review and Prices

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 06:41:00 +0000

Nissan’s flagship sports car is getting more power and numerous detail changes for 2012. Too bad GT-R prices are likely to go way up.

What We Know About the 2012 Nissan GT-R

Nissan Motor Corporation in Japan must have pink-slipped a few employees after the big summer-2010 news leak on the 2012 version of its flagship GT-R sports car. Various media outlets were quick to relay the intelligence, which applies mostly to the home-market 2011 models. The revised U.S. and European editions roll out as 2012 entries during calendar 2011 and are again likely to differ in some technical details, model choice, and available features. While it’s not yet clear what those differences will be, we can safely say that the 2011 U.S.-market GT-R will have an abbreviated sales run.

All New Nissan Reviews

The 2012 Nissan GT-R is not a full redesign--way too soon for that. Rather, it’s a thorough stem-to-stern honing of the critically acclaimed all-wheel-drive twin-turbo-V6 supercar. Though none of the changes aren’t major in and of themselves, there are enough of them to warrant a new factory model code, DBA-R35. The current GT-R broke cover in late 2007 with the designation CBA-R35 and is notable as the first of its kind to be officially sold in the U.S., arriving as an early-’09 entry. Predictably, the 2012 revamp focuses on improved acceleration and dynamic performance, but it also addresses ride comfort, structural rigidity, and cockpit appointments. There’s also talk of a more-luxurious Spec-M model, though it probably won’t be sold outside Japan.

For all its many changes, the 2012 Nissan GT-R will stick with existing dimensions, basic styling, and underskin hardware. The R35 series has been a global sales hit despite the iffy global economy, so Nissan isn’t about to tamper too much. The U.S. alone snapped up 1,730 R35s in calendar ’08 and another 1,534 in ’09, not bad for a pricey, high-performance, limited-edition 2+2-seater.

LP 670-4 SuperVeloce Chinese Edition at the Beijing Auto Show

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 20:38:00 +0000

The 2010 Beijing Auto Show that began just the other was open to the press on Friday. We did give our readers a preview of the Beijing show.Today we have something more. Almost all car makers are grabbing their share of the emerging markets and what can be better than the 2010 Beijing Auto show if any of them is interested in capturing the Chinese car buyer’s mind? Today, we bring to you details of the Italian super sports car maker Lamborghini.

When Lamborghini made its entry at the auto show, the audience was stunned. The car maker presented a highly exclusive edition of the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. It was the Chinese Edition. The car’s value is further hiked by the fact that the exclusive edition will be limited to a maximum of ten numbered cars and will be offered to the growing group of sports cars collectors in China only. Furthermore the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera celebrated its Asian premiere at the Beijing auto show.

Automobili Lamborghini's strong performance at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show and the special edition of the flagship Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce that the Italian super sports car maker unveiled exclusively for the Chinese market, draw attention to the car maker’s steadfast loyalty to China and the development of a super sports car culture in the country.

Last year, Automobili Lamborghini had pulled off an 11 per cent growth in China. Last week, on the 20th of April, Lamborghini launched its seventh Automobili Lamborghini China dealership in Shenzhen. This will soon be followed by the inauguration of an eighth showroom in Xiamen. Lamborghini considers it total pleasure to share its passion with China's super sports car drivers, collectors and fans. Nice way of pleasing the Chinese car buyers must say.

Just ten special edition Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce cars across the globe and these new cars would be designed and manufactured exclusively for China's most discriminating super sports car enthusiasts. Do you see the orange stripe on the car? This stripe symbolizes the power of an erupting volcano. But, it sure decorates the flat grey painted carbon shell of the car. Every model holds a numeration badge with the name of its owner. Personalization personified.

This car, Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce has been one of the most fascinating super sports cars of all times and Lamborghini describes it as "exceptionally purist". While the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 is a great model, the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is an even more extreme top model. It is more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murciélago LP 640. With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 bhp and a weight reduction of 100 kg, the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg per bhp. It leaps from zero to 100 km/h in merely 3.2 seconds and hits top speed at 342 km/h.

With its stupendous performance, cutting-edge precision and incomparable high-speed stability, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is the ultimate performance car for advanced sports car drivers. It was extensively altered and redeveloped in almost every aspect to make it achieve the substantial weight reduction of 100 kilograms. From chassis to engine and transmission, right through to the interior, the car was modified.

The engine output increase from 640 to 670 bhp was due to optimized valve timing and a reworked intake system. The significantly modified aerodynamics with substantially increased downforce enhances car stability even at very high speeds. The large "Aeropack Wing" and its added downforce give a top speed of 337 km/h.

Mercedes SLS AMG Officially Launched in India

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 20:16:00 +0000

A very auspicious day for car launches, or so it seems. Fiat India today launched the more powerful 90 bhp Punto here, and Mercedes Benz India has finalised on the same date to launch its much publicised SLS AMG. Thanks to Mercedes, rich Indians will now have means of flaunting their money. Ever since it was unveiled during the Auto Expo 2010, sports car lovers in India had been waiting for this piece of excellence to be launched.

The super luxury sports car, SLS AMG, has been launched today. The SLS AMG was supposed to be launched on 15th of July, but due to some reasons the launch had to be postponed by a day.

Mercedes Benz was the first of the German luxury car makers to foray into the Indian market and the car maker seems upbeat about launching its latest super luxury offering in the country. “We are very excited to come with SLS in India. We have started the production couple of weeks ago in Germany, there is no time lag to launch the vehicle in India,” Mercedes Benz India Managing Director and CEO Wilfried Aulbur said.

The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is priced between Rs 2 crore and Rs 2.5 crore in India. That’s mainly because the sports car is being imported as a Completely Built Unit, and thus attracts heavy import duties. But the high price of the SLS AMG should not pose a problem to the multi millionaire Indians. Further the price will vary among the prospective customers depending on the customisation level sought by them.

The SLS AMG comes with a technology package that will guarantee driving dynamics of the highest standard. The SLS AMG is powered by AMG 6.3-litre V8 front-mid-engine that can generate as much as 571 bhp and 650 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed double-declutch transmission in a transaxle configuration. The 8 cylinder engine can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in just 3.8 seconds. Now, that’s a figure which is bound to excite the people who love to burn some rubber on tracks.

Mercedes India has already received quite a few confirmed bookings for the SLS AMG but the company says that there will be a waiting period 6-8 months to deliver the car after booking.

Toyota to launch two new hybrid sports cars: MR2 and Supra

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 12:00:00 +0000

According to the latest reports it appears that Toyota is ready to built two hybrid sports cars: a successor to the MR2 and a reborn Supra.

First of all, we have the MR2 which is set to receive a hybrid powertrain based on a 1.5-liter petrol engine, just like the Honda CR-Z, which uses a 1.5-liter engine capable to deliver 102 hp but also an electric motor which develops an extra 20 hp. Apparently, the MR2, which will make its debut in 2013, was set to receive a V6 petrol engine but due to the success of the Honda CR-Z, Toyota changed its mind. Regarding the Supra successor, it seems that this car will be inspired by the FT-HS Concept unveiled back in 2007 at the Detroit Auto Show and will receive a V6 hybrid powertrain. Set to make its debut in late 2013 or 2014, the car’s development is now running almost in parallel with that of the FT-86.

2010 Peugeot 308 RCZ Sets For Frankfurt Auto Show

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:49:00 +0000

The first concept of the Peugeot 308 RCZ was showcased at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. Today the French automaker has announced that the car, which will be based on the 308 will be officially unveiled at this September’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Peugeot says the design is kept as close to the original concept as possible and make the driving dynamics. A compact coupe, the car has the similarity proportions of the Audi TT with heavily flared fenders, a longer rear deck and Peugeot’s chunky front-end design is noticeable.

The RCZ will be powered by a 220hp 1.6-litre turbo from the Mini JCW through a new six-speed gearbox. But rumours that the official version will have up to 250bhp (184kW). Peugeot also claims that it will be the first car that does not use the zero or double zero numbering system in its name.

The German supercar company, Gumpert, last moth claimed to have smashed the Nürburgring lap record for a production car with a lap time of just 7 minutes and 11 seconds in its Audi-powered Gumpert Apollo Sport supercar! That’s 11 seconds faster than the the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, and 15 seconds faster than the Nissan GT-R V-Spec! Truth be told though, the notion of a road legal production car is being stretched just a tad by this 700 bhp powered low production car.

The Aluminum karma

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:05:00 +0000

Car makers are all decking up their cars for the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. Are you ready? Looks matter. Do they? At least for cars, the answer would be a definite ‘Yes’. That is why Fisker has taken its Karma to the beauty parlour. Do you believe that? Is it just the looks? No. As far as Fisker is concerned, it is not the looks. Yes, you got it right. It’s the performance.

The Fisker is changing the skin of its Karma. The car wants to shed off some pounds. Yes, the beauty will look prettier. Not just that. Fisker is more bothered about the efficiency. The car is getting all set to show off its aluminum muscles. Yes, the lightweight, super-strong Karma will be walking the ramp at the Geneva Auto Show next month. Surprised? We were too. A car with an aluminum space frame will be displayed at the Geneva Auto Show.

The frame will be very strong, one of the strongest in the car industry. The torsional and bending rigidity too will beat that of other top sports cars. Let’s just wait till next month for the real picture. Aluminum will be giving the Karma the ease to move around quickly. The initial battery charge is believed to allow the car to run a mighty distance of 50 miles.

Would you like to see a picture of the Karma? No, Fisker will not show it. We will not even get to know the car’s weight. However, there’s something I can still tell you. The car uses 5000 and 6000 series high-strength aluminum alloys. It is built around a powertrain and drive system that includes a 2 Litre turbocharged GM Ecotec gas engine or generator up front, a lithium-ion battery pack down the center and a 403-horsepower, two-motor electric drive assembly in the rear. A structural tunnel down the center houses the battery pack and works as a torque tube connecting the front and rear frame sections. The whole thing is held together by 79 meters of precision welds and 1,058 self-piercing rivets. Isn’t this too much of news for the moment?

The frame had been designed keeping in mind the initial four-door sedan Karma. I just heard the rumour that Fisker would be coming up with a coupe and a convertible. No word from Fisker has come directly though. It also looks like the car will be using the same engineering and assembly parameters for the frames of the "Project Nina" family of smaller plug-in electrics. Isn’t that great news?

Now, will the Fisker Karma steal the show at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show? Will the lightweight aluminum muscles attract the right crowd? Well, hope we get just a little more news before the month end. I’m just too desperate to know more. You too? We will hopefully get some news very soon.

Lancia to revive the Stratos!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 18:21:00 +0000

The Lancia Stratos from the early 1970s was one of our favorite rally cars, winning the Group 4 World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975 and 1976. A pity that only about 500 models were produced to meet homologation requirements; and that FIAT decided to run the FIAT 131 Abarth in place of the Stratos in 1977. The good news is that Lancia is seriously contemplating the revival of the Stratos a new flagship sports car!

The reliable people at Autocar are reporting that Lancia’s CEO, Olivier Francois, is in discussion with Fiat Group boss Sergio Marchionne on the matter. However, the new Stratos probably won’t be a mid-engined rally car like its predecessor. In all probability, the new Stratos will be based on an existing Alfa Romeo or Fiat platform, but we live in hope that Lancia will prove us wrong.

Bugatti 16C Galibier coming in 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 18:19:00 +0000

More than a year ago, the Bugatti 16C Galibier, which was first conceived in 2006, made its world debut, as a concept car, during the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, though it wasn’t part of the motor show. Now AutoWeek are reporting that the Bugatti 16C Galibier is to go into production and will be available sometime in 2013 as a successor to the Bugatti Veyron, which will cease production in 2012.

The Bugatti Galibier will feature the 8.0-liter W126 engine from the Veyron supercar, but will be less powerful! Instead of the four turbochargers featured on the Veyron, the Galibier will feature two superchargers. The result is a power output of around 800 bhp. As with the Veyron, Bugatti will only produce 300 units of the Galibier, though the Galibier retail in the region of $1.5 million.
