Next Concept Cars

TechArt attracts attention initially because of the exterior modifications applied on a Porsche 911 Turbo, many carbon fiber parts, obviously modified spoilers, an aerodynamic bonnet and TechArt Formula III 20-inch wheels with some Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Plus tires of 245/30 and 315/25.

The standard engine of 3,6 liters double supercharged, which has a standard maximum power of 480 HP now reached 660 HP and has a maximum torque of 860 Nm. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in only 3.4 seconds, the maximum speed of this bullet on four wheels being 340 km/h. How come have these specifications been achieved? Well, there were used some sport air filters, the admission was modified, special intercoolers were installed and a sport exhaust system. Last but not least, we also have two new turbines. Such a power was expected, right?via

The main attraction of the Ford stand from the Thailand Motor Expo which takes place between Nov. 28 and Dec. 10 is a pick-up concept. A team of experts from Ford Thailand have prepared a new model that seems to be promising.

With an orange exterior and a chromed front grille, the concept is likely to be an inspiration source for a future generation. Or, at least this is what the Ford officials said. Not a word about the technical side, but a hybrid transmission system certainly would increase people’s attention to this new pick-up.

The Japanese microvan has recently received a facelift, after about 6 years since its launch in 2002, looking now more like Nissan Cube.

The car which looks like a box is very resistant, managing to stay long time on the market without too many changes. But, it has recently received a substantial facelift which took care more about the design part although it doesn’t look much better now. Regarding the technical chapter, we can find the classic recipe: two type of engines available, a 0.66 liter one of 54 HP and a supercharged version of it of 64 HP. There is also available the possibility of choosing between 4×4 transmission or transmission only on the front wheels.

Could General Motors in these crisis times to choose for a future Corvette a retro design, as they did with the new Camaro?

Christian Cyrulewski is the one who shares with the officials from General Motors an interesting perspective for a new Corvette with retro influences. The inspiration source was the third generation of the American supercar, with many stylistic elements interpreted in a modern way.

And we must admit that the car does not look bad at all. Obviously, we can not really talk about life saver for Chevrolet, but the adoption of such a design could be a smart move in the context of a sustained effort to relaunch the brand.

This vehicle made almost entirely of wood really is a piece of art. His story began back in 1959, when a boat builder located on the west coast of America introduced its own version of a unique hotrod, that, in the same time shows his ability in shaping wood.

This vehicle was equipped with an Ariel Square Four motorcycle engine of 42 HP, coupled to a sequential transmission in four steps. Seems to be a little power for a hotrod, but, think again! This work of art only weights 350 kg!

The suspension was “borrowed” from a Citroen, and the steering box from a Renault. Some pieces, including the taillights, are Cadillac original while the remaining components were manufactured by hand.

This unique automobile wasn’t used too much by its creator, who then sold it to a collector from Nevada. From this collector, the hotrod got into the propriety of the Auto Museum St. Louis, which now sells it on eBay. The price? Only $22,500 for such a great creation!

In these pictures you can see an Audi R8 relpica made by a Spanish guy who started from a technical platform provided by a Ford.

All this story started from a Ford Cougar V6 of 2.5 liters, to which was added a body which keeps almost to perfection the dimensions and shapes of the German model, an Audi R8. Alberto Gavach Fuertes from Zaragoza is the genius who created this model, and the result is impressive given the facts that the front transmission and engine mounted in the front were kept, although Audi R8 is a model with the engine positioned in the center.

There were applied modifications only to the car’s exterior, because in the interior only a R8 logo was mounted on the steering wheel, nothing more. Interesting is that the owner put the car up for sale and wants 40.000 euro for it, three times less than an original model but more expensive than a brand new Audi TT 2.0 TFSI. Hard to choose, right?
