Rinspeed E2 Concept
Rinspeed’s creation is based on the Abarth version of the Fiat 500. Its name ‘E2’ signals the fact that the nimble little Italian car is equipped with two different power levels. In this mode the ‘E2’ consumes just some four liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Based on the Fiat 500 Abarth that has been modified, Rinspeed E2 concept offer two levels of fuel consumption with its two levels of power. Two power levels of Rinspeed E2 concept will be at 60 or 160 hp, that can be switched with pressing a button only. Rinspeed E2 concept needs seven liters of fuel for 100 km in Highway mode (160 hp). While in Commuting mode (60 hp), it needs four liters for the same distance.

2012 Bugatti Veyron
CEO of Bugatti has confirmed the new model 2012 Bugatti Veyron will be coming in either 2011 or 2012. The original 2012 Bugatti Veyron is an engineering masterpiece with its 987hp 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine and politics demands a meaner machine for the next generation. Recent rumours have pointed towards a targa version featuring a detachable roof and even a four-door sedan variant, but maintaining the 2012 Bugatti Veyron’s awesome performance is unlikely to be achievable with the weight and aerodynamic disadvantages of either of these.
2012 BMW M1
The powertrain will bundle a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with an electric motor, a combination which in production trim should deliver more than 350 horsepower and nearly 600 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a dual-clutch gearbox, the hybrid system will propel the future M1 from zero to 60 in less than 5 seconds. Top speed will be electronically governed to 155 mph, while fuel economy is projected to be class-leading.
Other production features adapted from the concept include an ultralow ride height, active aerodynamics, aggressive styling and cutting-edge technology.The new M1 is anticipated to target the Audi R8, suggesting a sticker price of more than $115,000.
2012 BMW M6
BMW M6 is expected to have a sleeker design, rear headlights closely resembling the BMW CS Concept, and some sporty wheels, probably 21″. It is not sure whether the 2012 BMW M6 will have a carbon fiber roof or a glass roof, and how its hood will look like. The present generation BMW M6 already churns out 500hp, and with further tweaking it can easily deliver 650+ hp, with the help of a turbocharger, other performance parts or a BMW M6 engine stroker.
Audi R Zero
The R Zero sports car will be equipped with four electric in-wheel motors as its engine. R Zero's engine will be powered by lithium-ion 800 volts batteries that are capable of releasing great mass of power, not less than 450 watts/kg. The supercar R Zero will have an estimated weight of 2.2 tons (4,850 lbs), given that the batteries will weigh around 1,200kg and the four engines around 340kg, plus the body weight and accessories. Torque is expected to reach 2,168 lb-ft while horsepower is set at around 1,091 hp at 12,900 rpm. With individual batteries providing power to each individual engine, the sports car is estimated to go at a top speed of 460 km/h (286 mph), with the fast car capable of going from 0-100 km/h in less the 3 seconds. The front headlights of R Zero are made from LED technology and are divided into three separate parts, each made to serve specific purposes. The 5 wide radial wheel discs are basically massive. They have been set in low-profile Michelin tires. The large air cooled disc brakes with red colored brake stirrups can be clearly seen from the spokes of the radial wheel.

Daihatsu UFE III Concept Car
The Daihatsu UFE-III is powered by a diminutive 660 cc Atkinson 3 cylinder engine and two electric motors. Add this to a 440 kg overall weight and it is a recipe for efficiency.The interior of the UFE III is set out in a 1+2 configuration, with two small seats crammed in behind the single central drivers seat. The UFE-III is controlled by steer-by-wire technology. The Daihatsu UFE III achieves category leading fuel economy of 72km/litre.
The Daihatsu UFE III features new 3-seater package with driver in front and two rear seats. Cd of 0.168 world’s lowest aerodynamic drag coefficient for this class of minivehicle, with polymer and aluminum ultra-light (440kg kerb weight) body and other measures to reduce rolling resistance. New-generation styling with a streamlined super aerodynamic shape, canopy door and pointed LED headlamps.
Lotus Elise R
The Lotus Elise is a two seat, rear-wheel drive, mid-engined roadster conceived in early 1994 and released in September 1996 by the English manufacturer Lotus Cars.The roadster is capable of speeds up to 240 km/h (150 mph). The Elise was named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Romano Artioli who was chairman of Lotus at the time of the car's launch.Two more track-focused models, the 135R and Sport 190 were available with 135 bhp (101 kW; 137 PS) and 192 bhp (143 kW; 195 PS) respectively. These also came with associated handling upgrades such as Lotus Sport Suspension and wider wheels with Yokohama Advan A048 tyres. In certain markets, the 135R was replaced by the "Sport 111", which was similar, apart from sporting the 156 bhp (116 kW; 158 PS) VVC engine in place of the 135 bhp (101 kW; 137 PS) tuned K-series.
Pagani Zonda R
While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving around the Nürburgring in 7:32 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. In September 2006 the first drawings were ready, but it was crucial to have the support of Mercedes-AMG for a high revving engine with a power output of 750hp, dry sump, light and with a low centre of gravity.The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track is increased by 50mm.This self-supporting engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight carbon fibre highperformance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation.
The 5.0-liter engine also will continue to be highlighted in the Mustang Boss 302R running in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race series.Available in only two models originally, the 1964 ½ as it was dubbed, came as either a coupe or a convertible. Both of these models showcased a lengthened hood, a shortened rear deck, chrome grille with a running horse, full wheel covers and chrome wrap-around bumpers. A characteristic standard on the Mustang for years was the three taillights on both sides. Three-speed automatic was optional, while four-speed manual transmissions were standard behind all engines.The 2.8-liter V6 and the 5.0-liter V8 were both deleted from the line, while the only six available was the pathetic 3.3-liter straight six.
Peugeot Hoggar
The Peugeot Hoggar will be launched in Brazil on 15th May 2010, in three equipment levels and two Flex Fuel engine options: 1.4 and 1.6.The Peugeot Hoggar is evidence of the company's international ambitions and confirmation that Peugeot is speeding up its new product launch strategy.The Peugeot Hoggar project is also notable for having produced a well-balanced compact pick-up, with good interior space and the largest load space in its segment, with a volume of 1,151 litres, able to take a live load of 742 kg.While it is the range entry model, the X-Line pick-up, with a working vocation, is equipped with the Flex 8V 1.4 (1,360 cc) engine, developing maximum power of 82 h.p. when operating on alcohol and 80 h.p. on petrol, at 5,250 rpm. It is economic, with maximum torque of 12.85 mkg at 3,250 rpm, whatever fuel is used.The X-Line version has a front bumper in body colour, a gear lever knob with imitation aluminium details, and 14 inch steel wheels.In addition, there is the "follow me home" system (rear lights and dipped headlights can stay on for 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked), a socket ready to take audio equipment and four-speed forced-air ventilation.They support two dual position transverse bars that can hold certain items and can take a maximum weight of 70 kg.The high-end version, the Escapade, is equipped with the Flex 1.6 (1,587 cc) engine which develops maximum power of 113 h.p. on alcohol and 110 h.p. on petrol at 5,600 rpm, with 15.5 mkg maximum torque at 4,000 rpm in alcohol mode.
Mercedes SLS AMG
The styling of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is not only very special because of the exclusive gullwing doors.The E-SELECT shift lever, whose styling recalls the thrust control of a jet, controls the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission. All the controls are made out of solid metal, with a high-sheen Silver Shadow surface.At the design stage great attention was paid to the widest possible opening angle - it is a full 70 degrees. Equally importantly, the distance between the open doors and the road surface is a generous 1.50 metres, while the entry aperture between the open doors and the upper edge of the door sills measures no less than 1.08 metres. The entrance height, i.e. the distance between the road surface and the upper edge of the door sills is a very low 45 centimetres.The feeling of comfortable spaciousness is in large measure due to the generous shoulder-room of 1483 millimetres and elbow room of no less than 1606 millimetres. The luggage compartment can hold up to 176 litres. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is also breaking the mould when it comes to the body concept: for the first time, Mercedes-Benz and AMG are presenting a car with an aluminium chassis and body. Compared with the traditional steel design, this results in a significant weight saving, clearly illustrated in the DIN kerb weight of 1620 kilograms.45 percent of the intelligent, weight-optimised aluminium spaceframe is made out of aluminium sections, 31 percent out of aluminium sheet, 20 percent out of aluminium cast and 4 percent out of steel. Maximum occupant safety requires the use of ultra-high-strength, heat-formed steel in the A-pillars. The bodyshell weighs 241 kilograms - an absolute benchmark in the super sports car segment when compared with the peak output of 420 kW/571 hp.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG consumes 13.2 litres per 100 kilometres (combined, provisional figure), earning it a place at the top of the competitor rankings. Efficiency-enhancing measures include the familiar AMG-exclusive, friction-optimised twin-wire-arc-sprayed coating on the cylinder walls as well as the on-demand, map-optimised oil supply and intelligent generator management: during the engine's overrun phases and braking, kinetic energy is used to charge the battery, rather than being wasted by simply generating heat.
Peugeot 4002
The Peugeot introduced a web-based amateur style competition at the 2002 Paris Motor Show[1], inviting aspiring designers to create a completely unhinged retro-futurist design that incorporated distinct styling features of a historic Peugeot model.A total of 2800 proposals from 90 countries were registered, and Stephen Schulze, a 32-year-old German graphic artist, was selected as the winner.It featured a body of aluminum and fiberglass, and 21-inch wheels.[2] The 4002 incorporated headlights hidden behind the grille itself, as a stylistic nod to the streamlined Peugeot 402 from 1936. As merely a show car, it was not powered and not road-legal. As a styling experiment and supremely daring[3].
