The builders from Edo have decided to take this beast on the streets for a test drive.

MC 12 Corsa is a special edition with 12 cylinders, which Maserati created for celebrating the victory from the GT1 championship in 2006. The car’s weight has been drastically reduced, being 400kg lighter than the series model – which gives this car a weight/power ratio of only 1.5kg/HP. The interesting thing is that Edo hasn’t upgraded the V12 engine, the power of 755HP being the same (although the car that was launched in spring could reach 800 HP, in order to stand up to the Ferrari FXX).

Still, substantial modification have been brought to other subsystems. The suspension has been rebuilt and, in partnership with the KW specialist, it has been improved, allowing three levels for adjusting compression. The evacution system has also been completely redesigned, the two exhaust pipes having a diameter of 100mm and a hard racing sound, whose intensity can be modified by pushing a button on the central console. The breaking system is based on ceramic high performance discs, with outrageous dimensions of 396 mm in the front and 360 mm in the back. The wheels have been developed by Edo Competition, being 19 inch wheels in the front and 20 inch in the back, with superflat 265/35 tyres, respectively 335/30.

The interesting thing about this car is that it will certified for running on public roads, where the maximum speed of 326 km/h and the sprint to 100 km/h in only 3 seconds won’t be fully used. Still, the small number of cars that will be produced and the prohibitive price of 1.2 million dollars means that it will be rarely seen on the streets.

Nissan is planning to build an all-electric vehicle, which will probably be sold in Japan and the US by 2010 for fleet customers and in 2012 for everyone else.

Nissan is planning to preview its intentions at the New York Auto Show in 2008, with an all-electric concept car. At this moment, we only know that the car might have an autonomy of 100 miles and a maximum speed of 75 mph. This is quite limiting, so this car isn’t made for passing on the freeway at high speeds.

We know that Nissan has been testing a system that uses li-ion batteries on the Cube runabout, but it’s not certain if the Cube will go on sale in the US with an electric drivetrain.

The Maltese designer Reuben Zammit has designed a 4-seat Bugatti GT, which also has lots of luggage space.

We don’t know if Bugatti would ever make such a car, but if they did, it would certainly be more expensive than the Ferrari 612. The car would use a W12 twin turbocharged engine and have only rear wheel drive, which would give it a different driving feeling than a normal Bugatti. The design is also interesting because it only uses curves, which give it a retro look.

Even though the Husmen 699 GTO might not ever go into production, it is still a very impressive car.

The car was designed by Emre Husmen, a Transportation Design student at IED-Turin. He took his inspiration from past Ferrari models such as the 250 GTO, 250TR, P4, the current 599 GTB Fiorano and even the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

Husmen says that the dimensions are similar to those of the 599, but that it will be 200 kg lighter thanks to the carbon fiber doby and the twin-supercharged V8 engine that is based on biofuel. What is more, the car is equipped with hydraulic suspensions and a rear backup camera to aid the driver.

Even though this is still a rendering, Husmen says that he is in contact with a builder in Italy, so, who knows, maybe this car will see the light of day after all. And, to be honest, if I had the money, I’d definetly buy one.

The problem with Aston Martin DBS is that it’s very expansive in comparison with DB9, and it’s being fabricated in limited series, what means that many people couldn’t buy a beauty like this.

For people like them exists Mansor, a German tuner specialized in Britannic luxurious models, who proposes an individualization package like the one for Gaydon coupe.

In some way, the Germans succeeded in upgrading the amazing design of DB9 model without making it look worst, the 20″ wheels with double spokes and a new frontal spoiler, adding the exact amount of sportsmanship that the car needed. Beside all these, DB9 “by Mansory” proposes changes for the doorsteps (which are bigger now), evacuation (chromed now), and posterior (which it was added an aerodynamic diffuser).

This custom model has a new breaking system with brake discs of 405 mm and a kit for lowering the suspension.

BMW X5 it’s not a discreet presence neither in the series configuration, but if you dress it with gigantic wheels, you put it spoilers from Darth Vader and you will cover it in white paint, the result will be amazing.

The power resulted after the German’s intervention it is of 330HP and 660Nm, and that’s a big difference because the standard numbers were 257HP and 600Nm. Only the engine has a sport character easily subdued, the exterior having the same aggressive elements shown by the white paint.

CLR X530 Diesel will have the same body kit format from spoiler with fog light, big doorsteps and a posterior spoiler with a diffuser integrated in it. Lumma has available some other components too, like aileron and carbon fiber bonnet which is very light (only 10,5 kg). For the recipe to be complete, the wheels have are 22″ big and yes, are white. I truly think that the combination made by the white paint and aggressive details looks amazing.
