2013 ACURA NSX Concept

2013-02-01T22:32:00.001-07:00

The 2013 Detroit Auto Show unveiled yet another avatar of the Acura NSX concept supercar. Car enthusiasts were expecting a production version of Acura NSX.

However, Acura decided to wait a bit more, and now presents another version of the NSX concept.

Acura NSX

Engine

The Acura NSX concept is equipped with an all-new Sport-Hybrid SH-AWD (Super-Handling All Wheel Drive) with three electric motor hybrid system. The new hybrid system combines a 3.5 liter V6 engine with an electric motor of 40 horsepower and two additional electric motors of 27 horsepower each powers the front wheels.

The engine is complemented by a dual-clutch transmission. The performance parameters of this car have not been released by the company but we expect an extremely quick performance by this car, thanks to the new SH-AWD hybrid system.

Design

Just like the previous version, the new NSX concept is marked by a clean, simple, yet modern surface enhanced by smooth lines. The design of the car is sporty and gives an appearance designed for speed.

For the first time, enthusiasts got a look at the interior of the NSX. The inside is as attractive as outside. The cabin provides a cockpit feel complemented by maroon leather to go with sport bucket seats. Overall, Acura has checked off all the right boxes with this concept vehicle.

Acura NSX

The release of the Acura NSX production version is uncertain. With Acura's penchant for perfection, we may yet see another NSX concept before the actual production version is rolled out.

However, the company seems to be moving closer to a final production with few, if any surprises. The Acura NSX would be in directly competition with the upcoming BMW i8 and Lexus LF-LC. Expect the production model to be priced northwards of the $100,000 mark.

2012 BMW Zagato Coupe

2012-10-24T21:04:00.001-06:00

With Italian and German influences collaborating, BMW has designed an aerodynamically optimized car, which is able to reach the high speeds of a sports car, yet is also comfortable for everyday driving.

The style of the Zagato reflects on what has worked previously, and adds mystique onto the trim lines, to the perfection of the exterior paint. While BMW has been quiet about the specifications, the Zagato Coupe has a familiar look, with a touch of Italian inspiration and technology.

Exterior

The 2012 BMW Zagato Coupe is a hand-built, aluminum body, with an elongated hood. The air intakes are integrated with the hood, which sends extra air to the engine. The grill is highlighted with "Zs" in its mesh in an intricate, classy design, portraying the name.

The rear of the car is formed in almost a single joint. The rear displays an upper transparent panel, and the three-section look uses dark-colored glass surfaces to open up the interior, creating a wider-open look.

The rear bumper is fed into a large diffuser, ending with tail pipes in matte finish. This gives the Zagato an aggressive and sportier look. The body rests on 19 inch, 5-spoke, alloy wheels, with a propeller-type look, and matte finish.

Two domes are built into the roof structure, this is a signature Zagato design, and provide greater headroom. This design also increases the car's aerodynamics, and the roof's rigidity.

Interior

Zagato has highlighted the instrument panel and doors with horizontal lines, creating a roomier and sportier look. The form-fitting seats of grey material, have contrasting red stitching and accents.

The remarkable craftsmanship of the team is displayed, and the letter "Z" is embroidered in red at the top of the seat. The interior is definitely sporty, and the attention to detail is pure class.

Zagato Paint Mystique

The exterior body begins with a coat of black paint. A second coat of metallic silver is then applied, followed by six extremely thin coats of red paint which was especially developed for the Zagato.

It is then sealed with two clear layers, for protection and resilience. The mystique is that this paint can reflect the light in such a way, as to appear from almost a black color, to a brilliant red color, depending on how the light hits the paint.

The broad and low appearance of the 2012 Zagato Coupe, allows for a very powerful and solid road stance.

It is built to go fast, yet meets all normal road requirements. For more information on the Zagato, watch for the upcoming BMW press releases on specifications, and pre-order availability dates.

2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Concept Racer

2012-10-22T20:54:00.000-06:00

Bentley will be returning to racing for the first time in almost a decade, thanks to the racing tuned 2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Concept Racer.

The Concept Racer capitalizes on outstanding high-speed stability, exceptional performance and renowned durability of the Continental GT Speed. Bentley intends to achieve this while tailoring its track's specification with the adoption of all-inclusive aerodynamic package, rear-wheel-drive chassis, and high-tech motorsport hardware in compliance with the regulations.

Engine

The Continental GT3 Concept Racer will have a 6.0L W-12 engine, which is expected to be changed to a V8 in the future. Bentley has not yet announced the power output of this racer, but if they were to borrow the 6.0L twin-turbocharged W-12 from the GT Speed; then, the output numbers can be expected to be around 616 hp and 590 lbs-ft of torque.

With the rear-wheel drive in place, it's no doubt that the GT3 will be doing away with the AWD system. In addition, the GT Speed's 8-speed automatic gearbox is also likely to be abandoned for a racier transmission.

Exterior & Interior

The exterior and interior specifications have yet to be provided, but it is expected that the car will come with a redesigned rear and front bumpers for aerodynamics, air intakes, flared wheel-arches of a race car, wide fenders, massive rear spoiler as well as center locking wheels.

The interior is made of high-end materials. The GT3 Concept Racer currently has an overall weight of 5,115 pounds.

The development of the 4-seat 2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Concept Racer is expected to continue in the next few months. The GT3 Concept has already received full support from the FIA, and is expected to be featured in motorsport arena including the Le Mans 24-hour marathon later in 2013.

All in all, it will face competition from rivals like Chevrolet Corvettes, Porsche 911s and Ferrari 458 Italias among others.

2012 Peugeot Onyx Concept

2012-10-22T20:50:00.001-06:00

The 2012 Peugeot Onyx Concept is tasked to steal the limelight from its rivals especially from its feline face.

An attractive body is not the only feature that this Peugeot supercar will be known for.

You will also get a powerful V8 engine and lightweight will also help this car to outsmart rivals in races.

Specifications

General Info
Vehicle Type: Hybrid	Est. Market Price: NA

Performance
Engine: V8 Hybrid	Displacement: 3.7 Liter
Horsepower: 600 HP	Max RPM: NA
Torque: 43 lb-ft	Transmission: 6-Speed Sequential
0-60 mph: NA	Top Speed: 93 mph (150 km/h)

Engine

Under the carbon fiber shell, the Onyx Concept is powered by a 3.7L V8 twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and an 80 HP electric motor. These two combine to bring the Onyx's total horsepower to 680. The gasoline engine generates 855 lbs-ft of torque while the electric motor adds 206 lb-ft resulting to a remarkable 1061 lbs-ft of torque.

The power is stored in lithium-ion batteries and sent to the rear wheels using a 6-speed sequential transmission. With such remarkable power output, the Onyx can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.2 seconds. The Onyx Concept's power to weight ratio is impressive and is approximated at 2kg per brake hp. This ratio enables this supercar to achieve high performance without compromising its elegance and purity.

Exterior

The Concept comes with unprotected copper polished doors and wings. The rest of the body is covered with carbon fiber pieces in matte black. The front fascia comes with a flat vertical grille with 4 horizontal louvers and a lion emblem. Both flanks of the grille feature a pair of squinting LED headlights.

On the top side, there is a double-hump roof that boasts 2 air intakes, channeling the air to the engine. This roof is made of Ply Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) material, which is light in weight and shatter resistant. The rear is fitted with a lot of LEDs including: the light bar, Onyx bade and Peugeot's signature 3-claw taillights.

Interior

The cockpit does not come with seats; rather it features a tub design with two indentations you slide into. The seating position provides you with excellent road feedback as well as a great view. The cockpit is soundproof, and is made of compressed and stretched felt. The dashboard is made of a new simulated wood, known as Newspaper wood.

The driver can view all engine activities and the vehicle's speed through the heads-up display, while the rearview camera display, located on the ceiling, provides the driver with images from the 3 rearview cameras. Another great feature is the camera mounted between the headrests that capture your driving experience which can later be uploaded to a laptop for review.

The 2012 Peugeot Onyx Concept can only be described as the future supercar that many enthusiasts can only dream of. At the moment, there cannot be any supercar which can be placed in the same class with the Onyx concept

2012 GSC Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Kit

2012-09-30T20:48:00.000-06:00

Finishing specialists, German Special Customs, have developed a new aerodynamic assembly kit designated with the nickname 'Stealth' to fit the current AMG CLS63 models.

The sportiness and elegance of the AMG remains, the additional aerodynamic accessories are subtly nestled into the outer body.

However, the kit makes the front of the AMG CLS63 series look a lot more aggressive and gives the impression of a broader frame thanks to the new bumper, new hood and other accessories. The bumper features integrated daytime LED running lights.

German Special Customs make their mark clear on the grill which has been proudly decorated with their emblem.

Engine

A broad shaft in the new engine hood ensures the hot air produced by the 5.5 liter Biturbo V8 engine is disposed of appropriately. Additionally, the broadness of the AMG CLS63 is accentuated via new side skirts and new mud guards.

It's not just the front end that has been styled into a more aggressive looking machine. A new rear bumper, built with an integrated diffuser, made from carbon fiber, air outlets and a four-pipe steel exhaust system with angular end-pipes also adds to the aggressiveness.

Performance

As well as the many aerodynamic component upgrades, the CLS63 AMG has also received a performance upgrade to 750 hp and it can now achieve a maximum of 848 ft lbs of torque produced by V8 Biturbo engine displacement.

To achieve the additional 225 hp, an additional water cooler, a larger set of turbochargers and a new exhaust has been added. The additional power output means that the CLS63 can go from 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds! Maximum speed is said to reach 217 mph.

Wheels

To avoid the loss of traction that comes with the increase in power, a new set of 20" rims have been provided along with a KW coilover on the CLS63's front axle, with adjustable suspension capabilities. The Stealth kit also comes fitted with 255/30R20 tires on the front and 295/25R20 tires on the rear.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SL R230

2012-04-08T02:31:00.000-06:00

German tuner PP Exclusive decided to start a new project based on the Mercedes-Benz SL R230, and in 2012 it has come up with a majestic looking vehicle.

PP Exclusive has incorporated a number of new features and designs to give the vehicle a whole new look and feel.

Modifications

The Mercedes-Benz SL R230 has been fitted with an electronic module, which has lowered the suspension by around 100 mm, that gives the car a truly ruthless wedge-like form. The steering wheel is adjusted to lower the height. The wheel arches have been stretched with extra sheet metal embedded onto the existing arches to expand them by 25 mm in the front and 55 mm in the rear.

Exhaust

In order to achieve a loud, rich and nice sound from back end of the vehicle, the exhaust system is entirely built with stainless steel staring from the catalytic converter, to four oval shaped exhaust pipes.

Fitted with the stainless steel exhaust system, the Mercedes-Benz SL R230, is wrapped in 255/30 and 305/25 Dunlop tires. It sports 11 x 20 inch front wheels and gigantic 13 x 20 inch rear wheels have been used. But one can easily select the tire up to 23 inches in size.

Interior

PP Exclusive did not stop here instead they have done a lot of work with the interior design. It has been restyled with the help of white Nappa leather with dark embroidery for the seats, wood inserts with matching color on the dashboard, and black Alcantara for the roof.

The steering wheel now has a compact rim and formed straight unlike the earlier curved bottom shape. This has given the vehicle a new look and feel from the inside.

In a nutshell, with the Mercedes-Benz SL R230, PP Exclusive has presented the seamless illustration of excellent deep and wide car tuning work, retaining the classic standards and qualities of tuning at the same time.

2012 Wheelsandmore Ferrari 599 GTO

2012-04-08T02:29:00.000-06:00

The Ferrari 599 GTO is soon to be retired. But before a final send off, Wheelsandmore (the German tuning company) will get a chance to work its make-over magic on this exotic Italian sports car.

The result is a souped-up 2012 Wheelsandmore Ferrari 599 GTO, and Wheelsandmore has hit a home run with its efforts.

Mechanical Upgrades

Wearing a magnificent yellow and black powder paint job reminiscent of a giant bumble bee (the Transformer movie comes to mind), the new Ferrari 599 GTO showcases a set of 21" three-piece handcrafted 6Sporz ultralight forged wheels encased by S1Evo Hankook tires.

The ultralight forged alloys also show off the yellow and black theme with dimensions of 9J x 21-inch for the front axle and 12.5J x 21-inch for the rear axle.

Wheelsandmore also incorporated into the supercar's suspension an additional hydraulic lift-able suspension triggered by a remote button.

This action will lift the front axle up 1.18 inches to permit the Ferrari 599 GTO to clear any type of road obstructions or debris that could pose a danger to the car's leading edge or undercarriage.

Tuned Performance

To top off the 599 GTO tune-up transition, Wheelsandmore gives it an overall improvement in performance which is the core of this upgrade program. Adding newly remapped ECU and hand-crafted stainless steel exhaust with remote-capable valve flaps, Wheelsandmore was successful in squeezing out more power from the already powerful supercar's massive V12 engine.

The result is an incredible potential leap from the standard of 670 horsepower and 457 lbs/ft of torque, to an ultra powerful 715 horsepower and 490 lbs/ft of torque.

Amazingly, this car is advertised to go from 0 to 100 km/hr in 3.35 seconds with a high end speed of 335 km/hr, or 208 mph. This gives the 599 GTO drag strip acceleration combined with Indy car speeds.

The Wheelsandmore tune up program for the 2012 Ferrari 599 GTO is a fine piece of work that will send this famous Italian sports car into retirement with style.

2012 Corvette Centennial Edition Z06

2012-04-06T07:50:00.002-06:00

In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Chevrolet launched the 2012 Corvette Centennial Edition Z06, which comes in a special Centennial Edition package.

The major changes in the 2012 Centennial Edition are almost purely cosmetic while most of the driving dynamics remain the same.

Exterior & Interior

The major changes in the 2012 Centennial Edition Z06 are more cosmetic which makes this Z06 strikingly different. The new Z06 gets the Centennial Edition package that includes exclusive Carbon Flash Metallic exteriors, car graphics in satin black color and characteristic Centennial wheels in Satin Black with Red outline and Red colored brake calipers.

Special badges including images of Louis Chevrolet have been placed at the B-pillar, Steering Wheel and Wheel Centre caps.

The wheels of the Centennial Z06 have been specially built with light weight Aluminum. The front wheels get 19-inch alloys while the rear wheels get 20-inch. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires have been used in the 2012 Z06, and these have been a significant performance enhancer for the car.

The black color scheme runs in the interiors as well. The instrument panel, doors, seats and gear-shift knob are wrapped with black leather with red stitching.

The car features racing inspired powertrain and suspension. Also, the car has been designed to reduce the overall weight by use of Aluminum frame and Carbon Fiber components.

Engine Performance

The Corvette Centennial Edition Z06 is fitted with a 7-litre V8 engine producing 505 horsepower. The car does the 0-60 mph sprint in 3.8 seconds and runs the quarter mile in about 11.9 seconds, a tad slower than some of its contemporaries like the Ferrari 458 Italia, Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, though the Z06 is much cheaper than these cars.

This special edition can attain a top speed of 198 mph.

The 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette Z06 is a perfect fit to celebrate the racing and performance heritage of Chevrolet. It's also a great tribute to Louis Chevrolet.

2011 Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow

2012-04-06T07:41:00.002-06:00

If you are in the market for a car like no other that will grab the attention of everyone along the strip, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow is the perfect vehicle for you.

This car debuted during the 2011 Los Angeles Design Challenge that attempted to find the best film car to use in movies. This sleek vehicle includes a unique body, fast speed and futuristic features.

Future from the Past

Innovative designers from Germany and the United States collaborated to create this model. This vehicle is more of a work of art than a common mode of transportation. The body is a combination of the 1930s Silberpfeil racecar and the 1950s Uhlenhaut SLR.

Mercedes-Benz also relied on its Formula 1 racing history to influence the design of the 2011 Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow Concept. The car is long and loaded with plenty of curves. It also adds pieces of current designs that help to identify the Mercedes-Benz line, such as the noticeable front grille.

The diagonal hubless roller track provides for steering in every direction, called omni-directional driving. The vehicle also features a Mag-Tech roof system that consists of a lightweight magnetic surface. The roof can be dropped to form a convertible or raised for a solid surface.">

Sci-Fi?

This vehicle blends utility and adventure. The car is easy to handle, while featuring an appearance straight out of sci-fi movies. The vehicle was made to commemorate Mercedes-Benz's 125th anniversary and is a testament to the innovation that the company provides.

The bright light strips help to draw attention to this one of a kind vehicle. The hubless wheels give the illusion that the car is floating over the road.

With its sleek design, unique maneuvering abilities, futuristic features and a style that is certain to attract the attention of anyone nearby, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow Concept would be an ideal vehicle to own.

The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador

2012-04-06T07:39:00.003-06:00

The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador J is designed to set a new standard in super sports vehicles due to the power and performance that it unleashes from the moment it starts.

Performance

Boasting an incredible 700 HP from the 6.5 liter V12 engine, this beast is simply unstoppable. The appearance of this vehicle is purely Lamborghini with some minor changes to the lines and curves to offer an updated and more futuristic visual.

The body is made of a new form of carbon fiber called Carbon skin and considering the expertise that Lamborghini has shown in this area over the years you are assured it is a lightweight and durable as anything on the market.

The seats themselves are even designed with carbon materials for an entirely different experience than most aficionados are accustomed to. The entire interior is flocked with this material for a completely different look than can be expected in high end sports cars.

Exterior

The exterior is a sight to behold and available in a chrome red finish thanks to the Carbon skin body that allows for colors in this range. The wheels and fan are also in this shade of red with the chrome tint effect.

The rear view mirror is mounted in periscope fashion on an arm and support bars between the seats. There is no windshield in this monster and at high speeds the air is deflected by air dams that are strategically located, however you will feel the force on your body as you drive.

The Real Deal

The front end itself has points similar to the Mach 5 in the Speed Racer animation, though they are less pronounced and clearly add to the aerodynamics of this vehicle.

The 2012 Lamborghini Aventador J is a spectacular visually and equally as impressive in performance making this a milestone for the company and those that supports the brand and its ingenuity.

2013 Porsche Boxster

2012-03-11T22:06:00.002-06:00

Porsche has introduced its all new 2013 Boxster, which has undergone significant changes and is looking pretty fresh.

The open-top entry level Boxster has been given a whole new platform and body work, which has helped the car shed some weight resulting in better fuel efficiency and power to weight ratio.

The car is scheduled to be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March, but Porsche has given out some preliminary details before unveiling the car'

Design Upgrade

Changes in design are more evolutionary than revolutionary. Still Porsche has managed to dish out a handsome design. The new square shaped headlamps, the wider stance and shorter overhangs, add to the character of the car. The new design seamlessly masks the increased length and width of the platform.

The new Boxster would be equipped with larger 20-inch alloys. The interior of the 2013 Boxster is inspired from the 2012 911. A fully electric top would close the cabin space and the company suggests that the cabin space for driver and passenger has increased in the new design.

Performance

Boxsters are known for their performance and the new model certainly won't disappoint. The standard Boxster will be powered by a 2.7 liter flat-six engine with direct fuel injection that churns out 265 horsepower, 10 hp higher than previous model.

The more powerful Boxster S would be powered by a 3.4 liter six cylinder engine generating 315 hp, which is a marginal increase over the previous model (by 5hp). The engine is available with a 7 speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or a 6 speed manual transmission.

The performance of the Boxster has always been top notch. The new standard Boxster does the 0-60mph dash in 5.4 seconds while the Boxster S takes 4.7 seconds for the same run, both with the automatic transmission.

The lighter chassis and body work of the new Boxster translates in better fuel economy as well and customers can expect an increase of 15%.

The 2013 Porsche Boxster is expected to hit the showrooms by summer. Expect the starting price tag to be around $49,500 for the standard model and $60,900 for the sportier Boxster S.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

2012-03-11T22:02:00.001-06:00

The new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL has been formed almost entirely with aluminum and, as a result, weighs nearly 125kg less than the SL predecessor.

The aluminum bodyshell and lower weight means the car is a lot more agile and easier to handle than previous Mercedes-Benz SL cars. The aluminum shell isn't the only outstanding new feature of the 2012 SL, either!

Engine

The BlueDIRECT engines in the new SL are far more powerful and yet up to 29% more economical than other SL engines. The fact that the car is carrying a lot less weight also aids less fuel consumption and increases the dynamism of the car.

In comparison to other SL versions, the 2012 edition offers a lot more comfort to drivers, thanks to the lengthening the body and the slight increase in width of the car. While the car has slightly larger dimensions that what you'd normally expect, it means there's a lot more space for you to enjoy inside the car (both shoulder room and elbow room have increased).

New Features

Several new features have been incorporated into the new SL including the unique and highly efficient Magic Vision Control system and the Front bass system. The Magic Vision Control system allows your windscreen to be wiped clean without obscuring your vision since it doesn't splash water across the whole windscreen. Fully heated wipers are also available for the first time, so you can stop ice forming on your wiper blades during cold weather.

The other unique feature, the Front bass system, uses free space near the footwells to increase bass resonance. Even when you have the top down, you'll still get crisp audio.

Existing features including the retractably vario-roof (now available as painted, glass or a panoramic roof that uses Magic Sky control) and the operating mechanisms have been modified. The roof now takes under 20 seconds to open/close completely!

As usual, the new SL follows the long-standing Mercedes-Benz tradition and has provided us with another aesthetically honed and luxurious new car that has been finished with the fine materials, style and character that you'd expect from Mercedes-Benz.

2012 Shelby GT 50th Anniversary Edition

2012-03-09T10:43:00.002-07:00

Shelby America is celebrating 50 years of style by producing 100 cars of 3 famous Mustang variants: the GTS, the GT350 and the GT500 (the Super Snake). Fifty models of each car will be decked in white and feature gold stripes, the other fifty will be black and feature gold stripes.

Since only 300 are being manufactured, the 50th Anniversary editions have become an instant collector's item and each represent a piece of automotive history.

Exterior & Interior

In addition to the gold stripes on the exterior, several other nods to the 50th anniversary are present in the interior of the cars. The color gold naturally represents the 50th anniversary and is used in the premium black leather stitching on the seats plus there is an embroidered anniversary logo present on the seat backs.

Along with the gold stripes, gold stitching and commemorative anniversary badge, each Shelby anniversary car comes with special wheels, car cover, unique VIN number, a special delivery ceremony, exclusive merchandise and a number of upgrades including 6-piston front brakes.

The interior isn't the only thing to get a style revamp, the base GTS and GT350 models both feature matte black wheels (for the black vehicles) and chrome wheels (for the white vehicles).

The classic 'deep draw' hood, unique rear and front fascias and Shelby badge all make the anniversary editions a classic beauty to behold. The GT500 (a.k.a. Super Snake) gets another set of upgrades too: leather shifter, perforated seat insets and painted rear quarter window plates amongst others.

Engines

One thing that Shelby didn't upgrade for the special anniversary edition are the engines. The GTS and GT350s already generate up to 624 HP depending on the chosen version and the Super Snake can deliver 720 HP through its V8 engine.

However, many additional upgrades are available including superchargers that will boost the performance but the 2012 Shelby GT 50th Anniversary Edition vehicles are all built to perform extremely well as they are.

2012 WheelsandMore Ferrari 599 GTO

2012-03-09T10:38:00.000-07:00

The Ferrari 599 GTO is soon to be retired. But before a final send off, Wheelsandmore (the German tuning company) will get a chance to work its make-over magic on this exotic Italian sports car.

The result is a souped-up 2012 Wheelsandmore Ferrari 599 GTO, and Wheelsandmore has hit a home run with its efforts.

Mechanical Upgrades

The ultralight forged alloys also show off the yellow and black theme with dimensions of 9J x 21-inch for the front axle and 12.5J x 21-inch for the rear axle.

Wheelsandmore also incorporated into the supercar's suspension an additional hydraulic lift-able suspension triggered by a remote button.

This action will lift the front axle up 1.18 inches to permit the Ferrari 599 GTO to clear any type of road obstructions or debris that could pose a danger to the car's leading edge or undercarriage.

Tuned Performance

The result is an incredible potential leap from the standard of 670 horsepower and 457 lbs/ft of torque, to an ultra powerful 715 horsepower and 490 lbs/ft of torque.

The Wheelsandmore tune up program for the 2012 Ferrari 599 GTO is a fine piece of work that will send this famous Italian sports car into retirement with style.

2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 convertible

2012-02-23T04:16:00.003-07:00

Chevrolet has launched the 427 Convertible, the latest edition to long line of Corvettes, as a farewell to the outgoing C6 model and before the introduction of the C7 in 2014.

The launch commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Chevrolet brand and after more than 40 years, a Corvette is being rolled out with the legendary 427 name.

The new Corvette 427 convertible is the quickest in the history of Corvette, thanks to its powerful engine and light-weight construction.

Interior & Exterior

The 2013 Corvette 427 collector edition will be available with the 60th anniversary package, which includes Arctic white exteriors with optional pearl blue racing stripes. The interior would be wrapped in Blue Diamond leather with suede accents. The car gets Corvette ZR1 style Michelin PS2 tires, 19-inch alloys in the front and 20-inch at the rear.

The 427 has been designed to have an improved power to weight ratio and several light-weight body components have been used in the construction, like Carbon fiber floor panels, carbon fiber raised hood, carbon fiber fenders and front splitter.

Performance

The Corvette 427 convertible has been fitted with a 427 cubic-inch engine (7 liters) which churns out 505 horsepower and 470 lb ft of torque. The engine has been derived from the Corvette Z06. It's the most potent engine to be installed on a Corvette. The engine has been matched to a 6-speed manual transmission and there is no option of automatic transmission.

This Corvette 427 is being designed for performance. With great emphasis given to the power to weight ratio, the car churns out staggering performance figures.

It goes from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and runs a quarter mile in 11.8 seconds. The convertible has maximum speed of more than 190mph. However, with this kind of performance, the car is not very fuel efficient.

Chevrolet has not decided on the number of Corvette 427s they will build, and the production numbers would likely depend on the demand of the vehicle. The company has not yet released the price of the vehicle.

2013 Rimac Concept One

2012-02-23T04:14:00.000-07:00

A maximum output of over 1000 horsepower, an acceleration of 3 seconds or less, and a top speed of almost 200 miles an hour, have all been attained by an electric powered car. Yes, seriously. Breaking the mold of supercars and shattering the stereotype of an electric car as a boring and unreliable enterprise, the 2013 Rimac Concept One breaks out of the closet as perhaps the first true supercar that is purely powered by electricity.

Exterior & Interior

The super dynamic body, created by designer Adriano Mudri, is both super elegant and super aerodynamic. Even better is that this body is sculpted out of carbon fiber, creating an audaciously lightweight car that has legitimate supercar dynamics. The interior is designed by people that are formerly associated with the famed designer Pininfarina, and is adorned with high quality materials such as leather-wrapped seats and an infotainment system.

Performance

A unique powertrain is integrated for the Concept One. Featuring 4 different subsystems, with each having its own engine, inverter, and reduction gearbox, they have a cumulative maximum power output of 1088 horsepower. This gives this car some stunning performance numbers: a zero to 100 kilometers per hour dash of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour just to name a few. In addition, with batteries that carry a maximum charge of 92kWh, it is enough to carry this car to a distance of up to 600 kilometers before needing a recharge.

The Rimac Concept One is one unique car. Only 88 of these cars are going to be produced, and each car has the lofty reputation of being perhaps the first ever electric powered hypercar.

2012 Wheelsandmore Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Epochal

2012-02-23T04:10:00.001-07:00

Are you looking for a luxury car that comes with great speed, durability and exceptional running performance? If so, the2012 Wheelsandmore Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Epochal is the right car for you.

Since 650 horsepower did not suit customers who are in to a fast and furious driving experience, intensive modifications have been done to the SLR.

What's the SLR McLaren 722?

"Maximum powered vehicle", that's the most apt description for the latest SLR McLaren 722. This rare edition is combined with all the up-to-date and finest upgrades which allows it to run like no other. It's all thanks to the whole Wheelsandmore team who's responsible for all the modifications which make the SLR even better than ever.

The sports car originally came with a 650 horsepower and a torque of 820 Nm which was did not make many clients happy. However, the McLaren 722 is now pumped up to a higher level with a newly customized V8 engine that produces 727 hp and a torque of 701 lb-ft. How's that possible?

Well, it all comes down to the newly designed exhaust system that has sports catalysts, as well as flaps that can be engaged by remote control; which are all easily adapted greatly by the V8 engine's pulley and recently mapped ecu software.

However, these modifications require a specialized suspension for the model. Due to that, the Wheelsandmore team decided to contact KW, their coil specialists in order to have a new suspension built which features a rebound adjustable contraption, and better compression which is highly compatible with the McLaren Mercedes-Benz SLR 722.

Interior

What's more? The SLR 727 comes with a better steering wheel and all the passengers can have a comfortable ride with Nappa leather seats. With great style, comfort and optimal running functionality, the McLaren Mercedes-Benz 722 can be your best choice for a unique supercar that can give you the exceptional luxury ride you have always wanted.

2012 Lexus LF-LC Concept

2012-02-20T08:05:00.002-07:00

The 2012 Lexus LF-LC Concept, a rear-wheel drive, front engine 2+2 hybrid sport coupe, was debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show with an eye toward indicating the direction of Lexus for the future.

The front instrumentation is completed by layered displays that suggest a combination of retro analog style and futuristic digital elements.

With leather and metal, suede and wood carefully and artistically employed for finishing and trimming the seats and surfaces, the interior of the 2012 Lexus LF-LC Concept is elegant and advanced, comfortable and sleek, and all Lexus.

2013 Bentley Continental GTC V8

2012-02-20T08:01:00.003-07:00

Bentley introduces the topless version of its Continental GT V8 in the Continental GTC V8, to join its line-up of cars to be launched this year.

The Continental GTC sports the same powerful V8 engine like its hard-top sibling which has been tuned to be a lot more frugal the previous generation.

New Design

The Continental GTC is identical to its hard-top sibling, barring its light-weight convertible roof. Both the V8 models feature the ‘B’ emblem with red wings. Glossy black front grille differentiates the V8 models from the W-12 ones. The V8 GTC carries the same muscular elegance of the W-12 models with characteristic wide rear track, powerful haunches and aggressive low stance.

Performance

The Bentley Continental GTC comes with a 4.0 litre V8 engine which churns out 500hp and 487 pound-feet of torque. The car does 0-60mph run in less than 5 seconds. The performance is almost equivalent to the Continental GT W-12 model. Not only is the car powerful, the engineers have managed to bump up the efficiency of the engine by 40% as compared to the old W-12.

To achieve this level of efficiency, the engine is designed to switch-off values of 4 out of 8 cylinders when the driver is maintaining a steady cruising speed. The engine switches back to V8 mode from V4 when the throttle is pressed harder. An intelligent Engine management system (EMS) works behind the scene to manage incredibly high level of precision in control of combustion process.

Transmission

The new 8 speed automatic transmission also contributes to the efficiency gain of the V8. Greater number of ratios makes sure that the engine is always at its most efficient shifting.

The Bentley Continental GTC V8 carries on the positives of the previous generation models, but with a much more efficient engine and vehicle dynamics. This open-top beauty is not just a great looker, but beneath the skin it’s a highly efficient vehicle as well.
