THE R WITH MORE OOMPH! THAN BEFORE

The 2013 Agera R is the result of Koenigseggs endless persuit for perfection.


The 2013 model features new Aircore hollow carbon fiber wheels, uprated power and enhanced aerodynamics. The Agera R has an incredible top
speed of approximately 440 km/h (273  mph).
Recent Records for the Agera R: 0-300 km/h in 14.53 sec, 300-0 km/h in 6.66 sec, 0-200 mph in 17.68 sec, 200-0 mph in 7.28 sec.
The Agera R is the only roadster Hypercar with a detachable and stowable hardtop, bringing the best of two worlds. This in combination with
120 litres of luggage space, truly combine extreme performance with everyday usability.

The 2013 Agera R has all the features and functionalities of previous year models, but also features new and unique solutions to enhance
performance and visual appearance even further.
Example of these enhancements are; Visible carbon area on the front bonnet and bumper, new  front side winglets, revolutionary Aircore
carbon fiber wheels, the new Aero exhaust, the increased power and the raised rpm limit.
Koenigsegg was the first Hypercar manufacturer to take steps toward green technology with the release of the biofuel CCXR in 2007. The
Agera R, based on the highly competitive Agera, follows in the footsteps of the CCXR as it also runs on E85 biofuel.
Among many differences to the standard Agera, the Agera R has an upgraded fuel and engine management system with enough flow capacity to
generate 1140 hp and 1200 nm of torque on E85 and E100 biofuel. As there is less energy content per given volume in these biofuels compared
to normal petrol, the fuel-system has to manage a flow that is similar to a 2000hp petrol engine, which means that the Agera R’s return-less
fuel system has the highest capacity of any car presently in production.
As the Agera R is a flexfuel car, it can also be run on normal petrol. As 95 octane fuel has less octane than E85, the power is reduced to
960hp with 1100nm of torque due to the boost pressure and ignition timing being altered to match the fuel characteristics.
In order to give the Agera R maximum flexibility when it comes to power delivery, Koenigsegg has implement the latest technology when it
comes to turbo materials and design. This reduces the inertia of the turbine wheel and axle and therefore gives improved response.

MASERATI KUBANG OPULENT BLEND OF BOTH COUPE AND SUV





Maserati has decided to reinvent the sport-utility vehicle (SUV) by infusing it with the kind of uplifting driving pleasure
and luxury atmosphere offered by today's high-end sports and luxury cars to create a sport luxury SUV concept.
Known as the Kubang, Maserati calls it "the forerunner of the future Maserati range," creating a new segment for the Italian
carmaker while still maintaining the integrity of Maserati's DNA.
The Kubang builds on the idea of a luxury SUV that Maserati first unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in 2003--a concept that bears
the same name. Today, with the help of its sister brand, Jeep, the Maserati Kubang is now closer than ever to production.
According to the Italian carmaker, the essence and all major components of the Kubang luxury SUV is unmistakably Maserati.
Its style, engine, suspensions, brakes, handling and performance is  100-percent Maserati in keeping with the brand's core
values of sportiness, style, elegance, luxury, performance and craftsmanship.
New-generation high-tech Maserati engines designed in Modena by Paolo Martinelli, chief of the carmaker's powertrain department
and for nearly 30 years at Ferrari where he also served as the engine chief of the Formula 1 racing team, and produced in
Maranello by Ferrari will power the Kubang.An eight-speed automatic transmission and specific performance settings such as
suspensions, brakes, steering will be exclusively developed in Modena for the Kubang by the Maserati product development
department.Some analysts predicted that the Maserati Kubang will be equipped with V8 or V12 engine. However, the special
thing can be found in Maserati Kubang will not only its big engine and power but analysts also believed that the Italian
luxury car maker will put premium-class features there.

BENTLEY MULSANNE FUSION OF EXTREMES EPITOME OF OPULENCE

Bentley Mulsane

Power & Refinement



Performance
A V8 for the 21st Century.
When developing the engine for the Mulsanne, the engineers set themselves three challenges. First, the engine needed to produce effortless
torque from extremely low revs. Secondly, it should maintain the highest levels of refinement at any speed. Thirdly, and of equal importance,
it would need to satisfy strict environmental emissions standards for years to come. Challenge accepted.
While other powertrain configurations were considered by the Mulsanne engineers, it became clear that these targets, along with the massive
torque that is such a trademark of every grand Bentley, could be best achieved with a V8 engine.
Every major component from the forged crankshaft to the pistons to the connecting rods are now designed to be light and strong to reduce
internal loads and friction for even better engine response. To achieve a significant reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions plus
improved refinement and torque, the Mulsanne’s V8 sees the introduction of two revolutionary control systems: Cam Phasing and, a first for
the flagship motoring sector, Variable Displacement.
The pioneering use of these two technologies in combination allows the engine management system to adjust the V8’s breathing, thereby
improving idle quality and increasing torque from low revs. The overall result is an improvement in fuel economy and CO2 emissions of up to 15 percent.
Not to mention that massive 1020Nm of torque. Challenge, well and truly met.

BUGATTI 16C GALIBIER price : $1.4 million






The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and Veyron Super Sport have shared the supercar limelight for some time now. Well,
Bugatti is staging an upset within in its own automotive ranks by releasing production news of the supremely
opulent Bugatti 16C Galibier. A 1000 horsepower W16 (yes, mating V8s) and enough torque to move it to 60 in about
3 sconds, the Galibier will run on gasoline or biofuel (because Bugatti is SO eco-conscious). Jumping on that
environmental thing, Bugatti has covered its interior with enough burled wood and leather to send a gaggle of
hippies running. Luxurious without being ostentatious, this flagship among flagships should prove to be one of
the poshest four-doors to ever roam the earth. The rumor mill started churning on this four-wheeled Taj Mahal
in 2009, but production news was recently made official. It’ll set you back a cool $1.4 million. More gorgeous
images after the jump.

The new BMW M6 Coupé and the new BMW M6 Convertible


Two new high-performance sports cars. The BMW M6 Coupé and BMW M6 Convertible.



The new BMW M6 Coupé.
The new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible offer top-class performance attributes and an ambience defined by luxury and innovative comfort features.
In so doing, the high-performance sports cars developed by BMW M GmbH exude a level of poise and assurance unmatched in the premium segment of the
executive class – and reflected authentically in the expressive design of the two models.





Both get the same twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 used in the new BMW M5 sedan. In M6 duty, the engine is rated at 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque,
which BMW says is good for a 4.2 second run from 0 – 62 mph in a coupe equipped with BMW’s seven-speed automatic. Since the convertible will be a bit
heavier and slightly less aerodynamic, BMW says you can expect a 0 – 62 mph run in 4.3 seconds, also with the seven-speed automatic gearbox. A six-speed
manual transmission is said to be under consideration, although BMW won’t officially comment on it .



Wide air intakes, stunningly contoured headlight units and large, smooth surfaces shape the front end of the new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible.
Another eye-catching element of the car’s nose is its newly designed M kidney grille, which bears an “M6” badge. The grille’s black, paired kidney grille
slats take their cues from the characteristic double-spoke design of the M light-alloy wheels.

TATA PIXEL

Pocket-sized dynamo: Tata Pixel


                The Tata Pixel, with 'Zero Turn' drive and an innovative diamond-shaped door system, is a new city car concept for
Europe from Tata Motors. Based on the Tata Nano, the Pixel - at just over three metres in length - is the most package
efficient four-seater in the world, comfortably accommodating four adults,unlike a typical city car which is either a
two-seater or can accommodate two adults and two children only.  



The Tata Pixel's ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its Zero Turn toroidal
traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). This highly efficient, cost-effective system assists rotation
of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards during low-speed manoeuvres, while the front wheels
turn at acute angles. The result is a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres. The glass area on the scissor doors
provides excellent visibility even in the most extreme turning manoeuvre.

The Bentley Luxury Concept

The Bentley Luxury Concept is a design study of a prestigious, six meters-long car inspired by wooden boats
and by the brand’s heritage. The author is 3D artist Andreas Fougner.


                                          



The Bentley Luxury Concept is an extreme proposal of a luxurious car, with a design characterized by the massive
length of 6+ meters.

The exterior uses several elements inspired from the luxury cars of the pre-WWII period, such as the detached fenders
and the dominating front grille matched by circular headlights.

Speaking about the project, Swedish designer Andreas Fougner explains, “The inspiration for this concept comes from
wooden boats, old classic cars with wood panels and the luxurious look of the brand Bentley.


Taking inspiration by yacht design, the upper surface of the fenders, side sills and trunk lid form a distinctive
stripe trimmed in birch wood, a material which is commonly used in Swedish furniture design

Lamborghini Aventador Polizia Concept Design By Milanno Artworks and Carrera

Lamborghini Aventador Polizia Concept Design By Milanno Artworks and Carrera







                   

This new concept car from Lamborgini company, named Lamborghini Aventador Polizia. The exerior view with blue and
white color on body. This Lamborghini Aventador Polizia project design by Milanno Artworks and Carrera. Milanno
Artworks and CarreraDesign have created variety of renderings of what the Aventador Polizia ought to appear as if
if it were to safeguard the Italian roads. the photographs reveal a blue and white paint theme and lettering, the
same as that of the Gallardo Polizia

  

                                                        


It ought to even be fitted with a defibrillator and a refrigerated container for fast organ transport. additionally,
all the LED lights on the automobile are located among the air intakes and on the dashboard. As you would possibly
 have guessed, an enormous light-pod on the roof would ruin the Aventador’s aerodynamic lines. However, the police
 beacon on the roof of the Gallardo currently in use has been aerodynamically optimized. Despite the extraordinarily
flat construction of the signal lighting, blue LEDs are fitted around the base to make sure the visual signal can not
 be missed. The roof-mounted lighting is supported by additional blue LED signals on the front, sides and rear of the
light’s aluminum shell. a complete of 4 sirens integrated into the front and rear of the Gallardo generate the audible
 warning signals.


                            

The Aventador uses a six.5l V12 engine capable of developing 700 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque, not to mention a
Graziano ISR 7-speed automatic transmission. The naught to sixty acceleration rated at a pair of.9 seconds, whereas
the highest speed stands at 217 mph (350 km/h). For the sake of comparison, we’ll tell you that the Gallardo LP560-4
Polizia contains a 560 horsepower engine that may reach speeds of up to 203 mph (327 km/h).
