Car Today

When everything is relative: the saloon second Koenigsegg. There are those who aspires to comfort, who addressing size and weight too embarrassing to search for the maximum driving pleasure, who - and I am most - splitting these two focus. The Swedish manufacturer, however, goes further.

It develops a new V8 from about 700 horses for adagiarlo in a body inspired by the CCX. Top speed expected: over 350 km / h. Andreas Petre, responsible for the Middle Eastern market, provides reassurance about the maniacal attention to weight, with several components in carbon fibre, and aerodynamic development. Leave to escape even a car will be phenomenal.

The same Petre announced that from 2011 to be produced annually 70-80 copies of this dark sedan, in front of the “sun” 35 CCX.

Of you know a jumble of numbers (7:26.4), yet it is already talking about the next generation. Previdenti the Americans, no? One goal: subjugate the European competition. The end justifies the means: on this occasion the dual turbo propeller combined with a six-cylinder vu. The next Corvette ZR1, in fact, abandon the traditional V8 oversized to follow the example of Nissan GT-R. High specific power, less “cc”.No word about the exchange dual clutch, no word about the central propeller. The new ‘Vette, already in the C7, will (almost) all on the engine, looking at the same time to reduce consumption and pollutant emissions.

It will be designed and produced entirely by Tesla the new sedan, currently known as Model D, waiting for 2010. Do not serve this time, collaboration with Lotus, because the project, ready to 90%, will be based on a new platform with extensive use of aluminium, but without carbon fiber to contain costs.

The goal is to build 20,000 family cars each year, of course, with the only electric propulsion. The batteries lithium ion will recharge the car from any outlet and will reach 100 km / h departure from detention in 6 seconds, with the new exchange monomarcia about to be mounted on the Roadster.

In these last hot days of August, what would be better than the wet jets of water while a car wash their beloved four wheels? Now think about what could happen if, once arrived at the carwash, find a beautiful girls immortalized in promotional photos of Otto Christ AG Wash Systems specially delegated to the care of your car (and your eyes)… Well, you collect your language from the keyboard and enjoy all 12 photos of calendar 2009.

Imagine the 500 Dante Giacosa with traction and engine earlier. Or the Mini Issigonis with turbo propeller from 175 horses. There are those who really wanted to play with the time machine, creating a successful “medley” between two products divided by forty years of evolution. Blue Fusion, preparer with a lively inventiveness, has created Rossi 66, an original Corvette C6 faithful to the superb forms of C2 dated 1966. The result, unfortunately, can not be appreciated physical form until next SEMA, at which the manufacturer hopes to have already started production.

“It ‘easy as opening an umbrella. With these words, that after this video will become a tormentone, Bugatti wanted to emphasize how easy it was to install the emergency roof constructed canvas to repair fortunate heads of occupants of the Grand Sport in case of sudden rain. In fact his drive is very simple: it is a real umbrella-shaped rectangular with a handle.

It would be nice to be able to buy one with the magical “B” as a stylized logo at the prestigious brand, a way to have a piece of striking Veyron Grand Sport. Pending the prized accessory is sold separately (hoping that there remain the prerogative to select in the guest Bugatti), enjoy the new photo gallery of the official presentation of this super-car occurred at Pebble Beach.

The competition of elegance of Pebble Beach was the scene of debut for the new and expensive version of the Bugatti Veyron, the Grand Sport. In response to customer demand, sportivissima 16-cylinder was fitted with a tin roof completely removable (style Carrera GT). A combination of rigidity and lightness has enabled the chassis to keep the same resistance to twist: The objective was to ensure the same qualities road version of “standard”, contemplating the same time a degree of security even higher for passengers.

As in the case of EV Sunmotor, again hopefully in a fake: the image should reveal the lines of the new Lada SUV concept, ready to debut at the Moscow exhibition, which will begin at the end of August.While the voices around a vehicle of this kind were long concrete, no-one would have expected a line of its kind and, frankly, there is hope that this is a project discarded, a realization of the computer, or simply a joke.
