Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 First Details

If you’ve been lusting after the new Mercedes SLS AMG Gulllwing but wish it had the raw brazen performance of a fighter jet, you may very well get your wish. The internet is abuzz this morning with leaked details of a new race-ready


 version of the SLS known as the Mercedes SLS AMG GT3, a streamlined version of the Gullwing built along the lines of the FIA sanctioned GT3 series. At this point no official details have been confirmed, but rumors suggest the SLS AMG GT3 will be powered by a 600 horsepower version of AMG’s recently announced twin-turbocharged 5.5-Liter V8. Prevalent use of carbon fiber exterior is expected to keep weight to a minimum, while the interior has been nipped-and-tucked as well to further remove any unnecessary body fat.




At this point there’s still no word on an official release date, but rumors currently peg the SLS AMG GT3’s launch for the 2011 race season. If you’ve got the funds, pricing should follow the Audi R8 LMS GT3, putting the SLS AMG GT3 right around the $500,000 mark. To see more of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 Race Car, keep scrolling for the gallery. And a special thanks to Markus Jordan for the photos.

marussia b2


                                                 



What happens when newly-monied Russians design a super car? You get the successor to the first Russian super car, the B1. It's the Marussia B2 and it's got looks to shame a Ferrari Enzo and, supposedly, a 420HP Cosworth mill


We weren't holding out much hope for the Marussia B2, but it's turned out to be one of the pleasant surprises of the Frankfurt Motor Show with Enzo-like looks and supposedly a 420HP Cosworth mill.




We're still a little foggy on the details, but it seems the Marussia B2 is built on the same frame as it's B1 predecessor but gets a specially built 3.5 liter Cosworth V6, ranging from 245 HP to 420 HP. Whatever the powerplant, it's hard to argue on the looks — the thing is bad ass. It's got more cut lines than a knife fighter and while the forward visibility is probably pretty terrible, awesomely ridiculous is the only way we can describe it.

2011 Chevrolet CORVETTE Z06 Carbon Edition

When the 2006 Corvette Z06 was introduced, it represented the closest connection to the Corvette race cars ever. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 closed the gap between racing and production even further. This year, Corvette continues its tradition of track-to-street technology transfer with the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition.



The Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition is another example of the expanded Corvette line-up. Five years ago, customers had the choice of a Corvette coupe or convertible. With the addition of the Z06, Grand Sport coupe and convertible and ZR1, Corvette enthusiasts now have more choices than ever.





This limited edition Z06 will boast Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with specific dark gray metallic calipers. These powerful brakes were first introduced on the ZR1. Black 20-spoke 19-inch front/20-inch rear wheels complement the car's Michelin PS2 tires. Other mechanical features include Magnetic Selective Ride Control for the first time on the Z06 and enhanced cooling. The car also features a special carbon pattern engine cover.





The Corvette Z06 Carbon will be available in two colors: Inferno Orange and the all-new Supersonic Blue. Black headlamps and mirrors, a ZR1-style body color spoiler, body-color door handles, carbon-fiber raised hood, and black carbon-fiber rockers and splitter enhance the Z06's dynamic design and reduce mass and aerodynamic lift. For track events, customers can also install the Euro-styled racing numbers that come with each car.





The Z06 Carbon's ebony leather and suede interior is complemented by blue or orange seat stitching to match the exterior color chosen. Other features include a unique steering wheel emblem, sill plate, and logoed headrest. The suede used on the steering wheel, shifter, seat inserts, armrests, and doors add to the luxury of this limited edition Z06.





An optional Z07 performance package that includes the mechanical upgrades introduced on the Z06 Carbon can be added to a regular 2011 Z06. This package also includes Competition Gray 20-spoke wheels and all the chassis and cooling upgrades.





The CFZ Z06 carbon fiber package includes black carbon-fiber rockers, splitter, and roof panel with the full-width body color spoiler. It can also be purchased with or without the Z07 package on regular Z06 models.




The 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition, as well as the new Z07 and CFZ Z06 option packages will be available in late summer.

Lexus LFA Special Edition Is Revealed

Lexus is ramping up to the production launch of its LFA supercar by entering two vehicles in the Nurburgring 24 Hours and, according to U.K. publication Autocar, planning the release of an LFA Special Edition.



Two production LFAs, prepped by Gazoo Racing, will contest the Nurburgring endurance race in May, in what will be the first full-fledged competition for the two-seater. While Toyota previously had entered preproduction development versions of the car, this year's event will feature the LFA "in standard production car guise," the company says.



In the meantime, Lexus is planning to release the LFA Special Edition, according to Autocar and other Web sites. Rumored earlier as the LFA Nurburgring Edition, the Special Edition reportedly will get a 10-horsepower bump in output, a recalibrated transmission that slices 0.2 second from shift speeds, a stiffer suspension, new alloy rims with semi-slick tires, a larger fixed rear wing and a new front splitter, according to Autocar, which adds that the car will be available in four colors — Black, Matte Black, Whitest White and Orange.



No word yet on pricing or on whether the Special Edition will be part of the regular production run of 500 cars.

McLaren MP4-12C or the Ferrari 458 Italia?

Today McLaren released a video and confirmed the technical specifications of its upcoming supercar, the McLaren MP4-12C. The MP4-12C will be powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine making 592 hp. With a redline at 8,500 rpm and an engine that produces 442 lbs.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm, power should come on early and plateau to the upper limits of the rpm range.

Transferring that power to the rear wheels will be a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with gear changes actuated by F1-style paddle shifters. To keep weight to barely above 3,000 pounds, McLaren has decide to utilize a carbon composite chassis. No performance figures were supplied but you can anticipate acceleration to be brisk, with zero-to-60 mph requiring only a few milliseconds more than 3 seconds and top speed to touch 200 mph.
Since the McLaren will certainly be compared to the 458 Italia, let’s put some of the cars' features side by side. The Ferrari car uses a naturally-aspirated—Ferrari claims that the F136FB engine found in the 458 sets a new world record for specific output in a non-turbo production engine—4.5-liter V-8 making 562 hp at 9,000 rpm and 398 lbs.-ft. of torque at 6,000 rpm. Without putting both cars on a dynometer to compare their power curves, we can anticipate the McLaren to make more grunt in the low revs but the Ferrari engine to be able to hold onto to its power for a just a little longer before hitting its redline.




Both cars utilize seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. McLaren‘s gearbox comes with a F1-inspired Seamless Shift technology, which primes the gear change as soon as slight pressure is applied to the gear-change rocker and helps it save milliseconds when changing gears. You won’t need to worry about the Ferrari’s gear changes; at 0.4 seconds, you won’t even realize they are taking place.

The 458 Italia is a marvel on the track. Its integrated electronically managed shocks, electronic differential, and F1 Trac stability control system all work together to improve the longitudinal acceleration out of corners by 32 percent compared to the previous models

The Four Million Dollar Ferrari

For all you driving enthusiasts out there, here’s another one for you.




Based on the Ferrari Enzo, the car is valued at $4 million — yes, four million dollars! Pininfarina’s Ferrari P 4/5 was made exclusively for car collector James Glickenhaus.



This red exotic version of the “batmobile” was inspired by the P4 racer of the 1960s. Essentially, the P4/5 is a rebodied Ferrari Enzo, with a Pininfarina-designed and engineered exterior.


The video shows the car in its unpainted state, during the final stages of testing (more pictures below)

The Maybach Exelero can be yours... for $7.8 million


Big-bucks enthusiasts annoyed that they're not the only ones at the club with a Veyron can now ensure that they arrive in total exclusivity.

 That's because the one-off Maybach Exelero, commissioned by Fulda to act as a high-profile demonstrator for its tire line of the same name, is now for sale. The Exelero isn't some delicate flower of a show car. Based on the Maybach 57 and powered by a 700-horsepower



 version of that car's turbocharged V12, the Exelero reached 218 mph at Nardo. In many ways, Exelero represents what Maybach could have and should have been -- a place where daring styling and incredible performance could merge with extreme luxury to compete with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Instead, while the marque's sedans clearly get the luxury part of the equation right, in terms of styling, they basically work in anonymity, looking like peculiar old S-Class sedans. There's nothing anonymous about the Exelero, though, and for €5,000,000 (around $7.8 million USD), you can drive the sybaritic supercar that Daimler should have given Maybach all along.

2010 Audi R8 Abt GT R



Sure, the R8 is no lame duck and now even more so thanks to ABT Sportsline. The result is just like a real athlete: it oozes power and doesn’t have a single gram of fat on its body. With the limited version R8 GT R (with only 25 units available) engineers and designers have gone one logical step further: Using their motorsport experience in the design, all the components have been systematically trimmed to ensure a light-weight construction and optimal weight distribution. As a result the hood, front and rear aprons, and the adjustable rear wing are now made of carbon. The external mirrors and the door panel are also made of the same material. The side windows are made of Makrolon—a high-tech polycarbonate that not only reduces weight, but also has impressive strength properties. The result: the ABT R8 GT R is a proud 220 lbs. lighter than its stock counterpart.




Recaro racing seats, a 4-point seat belt system, stainless steel roll-over bar with seat belt attachment, and hand-held fire extinguisher are just some of the race-ready equipment available.





The sports car has enormous performance potential: the 5.2 FSI in the ABT R8 GT R provides a massive 620 hp and a extremely quick top speed of 202 mph. The car can do zero-to-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds can reach 124-mph mark in a mere 9.9 seconds.



In order to ensure that the power can be optimally applied on the road and on the race track, height-adjustable ABT sports suspension and adjustable dampers are standard. The ceramic brake system with modified brake pads has been adjusted to meet the enormous performance potential of the super sports car. Extremely light ABT CR alloys wheels round out the package. The ABT R8 GT R is a unique vehicle which provides maximum driving enjoyment. It has been designed for driving at the limit: from the weight-optimized exhaust unit to the ABT Titanium special coating—ABT’s love of motorsport can be seen in every detail.

WOW!!! The New Bugatti Galibier See it here first

After months of speculation, Bugatti has finally pulled the wraps off its new four-door supercar concept just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for past customers and Bugatti-intenders. Up to this point, we've been referring to the French uber-sedan as the Bordeaux, but it seems the actual car's moniker will be Galibier – the name of a difficult Alpine pass along the Tour de France.



One of the Galibier's most striking features is undoubtedly its two-tone outer shell, which is comprised of both polished aluminum for the doors and front fenders and a unique dark blue carbon fiber weave that shines through when illuminated. We also note a prominent center spine that recalls past Bugattis like the Type 35 and the classically beautiful Type 57.



Powering the Galibier concept will be a version of Bugatti's ridiculously powerful eight-liter W16 powerplant. Unlike the mill propelling the Veyron to ludicrous speed, this version is mounted up front and is capable of running on ethanol fuel, which may or may not allow the automaker to squeeze a few more ponies out of the engine... not that it needs it, of course.



Current reports peg the Galibier's top speed at 217 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour), which, while slower than the Veyron's epic terminal velocity, is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Check out our gallery of high-res images below.

Gumpert Apollo


Gumpert are now assembling a range of the most daring supercars built around Audi components. Their first saleable product, which has started its show rounds, is a production version of the Apollo mid-engine supercar seen earlier this year. It's powered by a twin turbo Audi V8, and if the spec tables are to be believed, new owners can be treated to 60mph in just 3.0 seconds.




The Apollo just might be capable of such a run. Its carbon fibre body sits atop a chrome molybdenum alloy and steel frame that supports an RS6 engine cranked out to 650 bhp. With this setup the Gumpert has a better power to weight ratio than the big 'Mac'Laren F1. Although, some customers might opt out of the carbon for a GRP body and a have the superchared 440 bhp option to save a few dollars, or maybe a little sanity.



Other niceties include a sequential 6-speed transmission, a twin clutch system attached to that, an inboard suspension setup and as much down force as a DTM car. All of this down force is created by the under tray which means the Apollo has no fussy wings and instead, two massive venturis extending the length of the car that increase the drag to 0.43 Cd.



Sensibly, the Apollo has huge brakes hiding behind its 19 inch center-lock wheels. To keep speed in check, 8-piston calipers grab 15 inch discs on all four wheels and an ABS system is included.



Gumpert say they are production ready and can make cars ranging from 150 to 220 thousand euros. They are suggesting that a full-on race version might be feasible, but until then we patiently wait for The Nurburgring lap time.

Lotus Evora Hybrid concept at Geneva

After Telsa was successful in marketing a $100,000 electric sports car based on the Elise, it is easy to see why Lotus has decided to venture into the hybrid car market. Based on the Evora, the concept car shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show replaces the 3.5-liter Toyota-based V-6 with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine. The gasoline engine does not put any power to the pavement, but is designed to replenish the centrally located lithium-ion battery pack. The battery pack is connected to two electric motors; one at each rear wheel. Each motor churns out 204 hp and 295 lbs.-ft. of torque for a whopping total output of 408 hp and 590 lbs.-ft. of torque. Because the electric motors operate separately, Lotus will be able to mimic a limited-slip differential/stability control system by simply modulating the power that each wheel receives.




The Evora 414e Hybrid can run up to 35 miles without using a drop of gasoline and has a full range of more than 300 miles. Like the Tesla, the car can be plugged in at home to refill the battery. Keeping in line with the rest of the lineup and despite the extra weight of the battery pack, the Evora will be able to squirt to 60 mph in less than four seconds. Because electric cars can be a safety hazard to those that do not hear them, the electric Evora will come with a sound generator to create an artificial driving sound. The driver has four choices to scare warn pedestrians with: a V-6, a V-12, a futuristic car sound (?), or a combination of futuristic and gasoline-engine sounds.



The most interesting and disturbing part the concept car is the fake transmission operation. The car utilizes a single-speed geartrain for each motor but the car comes equipped with steering-column-mount shift paddles. Press for an upshift and the car will imitate a normal car by jumping forward by increasing torque to the rear wheels or press for a downshift and the car will mimic engine braking by throwing the transmission into regenerative mode, the severity of which is dependent on what gear you came from and went to. The car's fake sound will also work with the car's fake gear changes to give driver the sense that he is driving a normal sports car. If you want you can turn the whole fake seven-speed F1-style gearbox off.



To round out the concept, Lotus painted the Evora in a nice black-and-copper scheme (think Duracell battery) and even painted on some sort of circuit-board

2010 Pagani ZONDA Tricolore

Designed to be even more rare than the Zonda Cinque and Cinque Roadster, Pagani has built a one-off model presumably before the car is replaced by the new C9 and rumored to be for Guarnieri—the sole importer for Pagani cars in Spain. The car pays tribute to the Frecce Tricolori or the Italian Air Force aerobatic team.




The car has some added aerodynamic and cooling features including a small fin that sits atop the engine cover, scoops on top of the rear fenders, and the front splitter, diffuser, and rear wing off the Cinque. The blue-tinted carbon fiber, yellow rims, and tri-color strips are some of the car’s more distinctive features. Price is approximately $1.75 million

Porsche Panamera revealed


Pictures and details of Porsche’s new venture into the four-door coupe marketplace have finally been released. The car is rumored to come with a standard V-6 engine, a 400-hp V-8, and a turbocharged V-8 with 500 hp.

The Panamera will utilize the 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission that first debuted in the 2009 911. Rear-wheel drive will be standard on the naturally-aspirated engines, with four-wheel drive being standard on the Panamera Turbo model and optional on its siblings.

 A hybrid is in the works; to be released later in the car’s life. A full release, including more juicy details, of the Panamera is expected in the spring of 2009. More pictures Porche Panamera

Porsche 918 Spyder


Porsche has unveiled what looks to be a better-looking version of the Carrera GT to the motor-head public at the Geneva Motor Show. The mid-engine 918 Spyder concept is a plug-in hybrid that also utilizes a 3.4-liter V-8 for propulsion. The electric motors at both the front and rear axles (yes, that means all-wheel drive) provide a combined output of 218 hp. The engine’s power will be routed solely to the rear wheels via a seven-speed PDK.




With more than 500 hp on tap and a curb weight of a mere 3,285 pounds, performance is nothing short of extraordinary. Zero-to-60 mph is a scant 3.2 seconds, top speed touches 198 mph, and the car is said to get 78 miles to the gallon. Does it sound like Porsche is trying to sell you on a pyramid scheme? The lithium-ion battery pack that powers the electric motors, three in total, is squeezed between the back of the passenger cabin and the engine. You can plug the battery in and it is also recharged via regenerative braking.



The 918 runs in one of four driving modes:



The E-Drive mode is for running the car under electric power alone, with a range of up to 16 miles. In the Hybrid mode, the 918 Spyder uses both the electric motors and the combustion engine as a function of driving conditions and requirements, offering a range from particularly fuel efficient to extra powerful.





The Sport Hybrid mode uses both drive systems, but with the focus on performance. Most of the drive power goes to the rear wheels.



In the Race Hybrid mode the drive systems are focused on pure performance with the highest standard of driving dynamics on the track, running at the limit to their power and dynamic output. With the battery sufficiently charged, a push-to-pass button feeds in additional electrical power (E-Boost), when overtaking or for even better performance.

Bentley Hatchback? Yup. Only at the Geneva Auto Show

To some this is a shooting brake. To which we say, "Gimme a break. It's a hatchback." And by that we mean no disrespect for the machine, which is without a doubt one of the coolest hatchbacks we've ever seen.




Actually it's called the Bentley Continental Flying Star by Touring, and it was built out of a Continental GTC for a very rich customer. But you can have your own. Touring, which built this Flying Star with the blessing of Bentley, is planning on building some more. You just have to cough up the cash. How much? Well, you know the old saying, "If you have to ask..."



And if the GTC's 560-hp 6.0-liter W12 just isn't enough, Touring will build you one from a Continental GTC Speed, which packs 610 hp. Can a Supersports variant be far behind? All Flying Stars get an alloy power tailgate, hand-crafted steel rear fenders and aluminum door skins. Touring says it'll torch together somewhere in the neighborhood of "less than 20 a year."



And then there's the cargo volume. With the rear seats folded (yes, like a hatchback) it'll hold four sets of golf clubs. Of course, with the rear seats folded only two blokes are goin' golfin' in this thing, but that's besides the point.



What is the point? We want one.



By the way, Touring would like to point out that shooting brake conversions are part of its "genetic heritage" that includes the Lamborghini-based 1966 Flying Star II prototype. Google it. It's cool.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS Gullwing



The new super sports car from Mercedes-Benz and AMG dazzles with its unparalleled package which includes: an aluminum space frame body with gullwing doors; an AMG 6.3-liter, front-mid V-8 engine with top power of 571 hp, 479 lb-ft of torque, and dry sump lubrication; seven-speed dual-clutch in a transaxle configuration; a sports chassis with aluminum double-wishbone suspension; and a curb weight of 3,571 pounds. It's a combination that guarantees supreme handling dynamics. The car's ideal weight distribution between the front and rear axles (47-to-53 percent respectively) and its low center of gravity emphasize the concept's pronounced sports car nature. The gullwing accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 197 mph (electronically limited).

The distinctive design of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG dazzles with its passionate sportiness and reinterprets the breathtaking design of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, one of the most recognized design icons of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The nearly 6.5 foot bonnet, the low, far back positioned cabin, and the short rear with the extendable rear spoiler symbolize dynamism, as do the long wheelbase, the wide track, and the large wheels.


Drivers who raise the gullwing doors of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and sit down in the sports seats will experience a very special interior. In its conception, the Mercedes-Benz designers took their cue from aircraft construction to create an ambience that immediately evokes associations with plane cockpits. The defining stylistic element is the dashboard, whose powerfully extended wing-like profile creates the impression of great width. The main feature between the dashboard's two center air vents is the COMAND multi-media system with its 7-inch screen.


The backrests of the sports seats are made of magnesium, a high-tech material that is strong as well as light. The three-spoke performance leather steering wheel with a 14-inch rim, gearshift paddles and a metal detailing emphasize the vehicle's authentic hand-crafted character and provide the best possible assistance in maintaining control of the car.


The SLS is also taking a new approach in its body concept. For the first time ever, Mercedes-Benz and AMG are presenting an automobile, where both chassis and body are made of aluminum. This leads to significant weight savings compared to the traditional steel construction.


The heart of the new SLS is a high-powered eight-cylinder engine manufactured by Mercedes-AMG. The advanced 6.3-liter V-8 engine, which has an output of 571 hp at 6,800 rpm, makes the gullwing vehicle one of the most powerful sports cars in its segment.


The AMG 6.3-litre V-8 engine transmits its tremendous power to the rear axle via an especially lightweight drive shaft made of carbon. The new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT seven-speed sports transmission is responsible for the power transmission. This dual-clutch transmission is characterized by quick shifting without any interruption of traction—minimum speeds of 100 milliseconds are possible.


The reinterpretation of the legendary gullwing will celebrate its market launch in the UK in early Summer 2010.

2011 Koenigsegg Agera

Koenigsegg is celebrating 15 years of making dream cars by unleashing its latest jewel—the Koenigsegg Agera. A new supercar aimed to take the Koenigsegg experience to the next level, both on the road and the track.




Agera, a Swedish verb meaning "to act,” has been chosen as the name for Koenigsegg´s latest super creation, as it symbolizes the Koenigsegg philosophy. Koenigsegg is always striving forward, seeking challenges beyond limitations. The new supercar Koenigsegg Agera is an outcome of that creative process and its functions respond very well to the given name.





The development of the Koenigsegg Agera has been evolutionary (as you can see from the car’s styling), following the Koenigsegg tradition of continuous improvements, by honing and perfecting based on previous experience and innovative mindsets. The focus when developing the Koenigsegg Agera was to maximize driving experience, cornering speed, braking, and adaptability.





The Koenigsegg Agera is a testament to time. The original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago, is still valid, fresh, and highly competitive today. The Koenigsegg Agera will stay true to the shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels, and performs like something belonging to the future.





The Koenigsegg Agera is as wide at the front as in the rear of the car. This gives very good balance in corners and minimizes body roll.





The Koenigsegg Agera also features 15.4-inch and 14.9-inch ventilated and drilled ceramic discs for unparalleled braking performance and zero-fade braking regardless of track or road condition. Thanks to optimized breathing and twin superchargers, power is now 898 hp, running on regular petrol. Torque is maximum 811 lbs.-ft. and is reached at 5,100 rpm. There is more than 737 lbs.-ft. of torque available from 2,680 to 6,100 rpm.





The new traction control is the fastest reacting in the industry, with auto adapt functionality for different road conditions and driving styles as well as several manual settings.





Koenigsegg has also developed a new type of interior illumination called Ghost light. The illumination shines through the billet aluminum buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent visibility of the symbols, as well as a very clean and stylish appearance, framed by an all-new carbon fiber center console and tunnel assembly.





Furthermore, the driver can easily select the information he wants displayed in front of him, on the all new multi-information cluster. The car display can range from G-force meter, power meters, satellite navigation, music, lap timer or compasses. Furthermore the interior features the new Koenigsegg Agera stitching and seams, which gives a beautiful fluidity to the interior.





All in all the Koenigsegg Agera is created to maintain Koenigsegg's position as one of the most engaging and top performing cars on the road, on the track, and on the planet. Maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry, the novel Koenigsegg doors, and detachable/stow-able hardtop really makes the Koenigsegg cars stand out when it comes time to buy a new supercar.




The Koenigsegg Agera will be produced in parallel to the Award winning CCX and CCXR models. This gives Koenigsegg the ability to live up to our customers varying wishes and demands.
