Mosler announces first features for the new model, the Raptor, designed to compete on an equal footing with the best supercar on the streets and that will be unveiled in the coming months. The car will be powered by a mighty twin-turbo 7.0 V8 capable of 660 hp. A fact that the latter, when compared with some competing units in the same category, there is certainly a miracle for a specific power. The real trump card, however, the weight of the car, very low: we speak of just 1134 kg ensuring a terrifying power to weight ratio of 1.745 kg / hp. The approximate words of the chief designer: “This car will upset your mind. It will have a massive dose of sex appeal. “And, given the precedents of the house, do not we find it hard to believe.

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage Zagato presented with great success at the recent Concours d’Elegance Villa d’Este, could be produced in a limited number of copies. At the back are GTSpirit colleagues, who have recently visited the company in Milan. Currently plans to produce some of the stunning coupé units are under scrutiny, and that both Aston Zagato confirm that the launch of the model is a real possibility.

Ulrich Bez, the British number one in the house, is convinced of this scenario: “Based on feedback from our customers to the Vantage Zagato, we hope to offer it for a small group of fans as soon as possible. ” And the press office Zagato echoed: “Officially, neither we nor Aston we still pronounced, but both companies are planning to proceed on the path of limited production. ”

“Its size, the specifications of the car, its price and the date of his debut are not yet established, but in the coming months it will most certainly, “said the Milan-based company.

Nissan continues to develop the GT-R and, despite delays caused by the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, will resume early texts of development. As anticipated by 7Tune, as well as possible and a further strengthening of the 3.8-liter V6 engine from 530 to 560 hp, Nissan plans to build a road version even more extreme than the Spec V. Called Spec R, this super GT-R should provide a further reduction of approximately 40 kg, in addition to a specific coverage of the gold tested. The Spec R Spec V should therefore be replaced in production in 2012, but tests at the Nurburgring are shifted until the month of October and is not yet possible to forecast the precise timing necessary to approve the final specifications.

What is certain is his arrival in early 2012. On the product name instead of number, yet it was not decided anything definite. Both the assumptions that continue to flourish. The latest? Celica. Yes, the Toyota FT-86 in his capacity as the production could go to dust off the name of long-lived sport of Japan, returning to bring the front-engine rear-drive layout, abandoned by the Celica in 1985.

The Japanese coupe will be offered in the U.S. under the brand Scion, while in Europe and Japan as Toyota, according to an insider quoted by Autocar-should also contain the number 86, quote “educated” of the AE86, the 83 sports which is explicitly rebuilt the concept FT-86. The car will be at the top of its priorities and optimize the driving pleasure of driving dynamics, the objective for which you have chosen the four-cylinder Subaru boxer motor, characterized by an architecture that favors the lower center of gravity.

Initially, the nose of the new Celica was to be even lower than it will be, but the regulations for pedestrian protection in frontal collisions have imposed less extreme solutions. The new sport of the Rising Sun should be given its world premiere in November at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The success of the Porsche 918 Spyder led the children of Patrick Motorsports to restore three copies of the 906, racing car introduced in 1966 and later also marketed in the guise of race-replica. The German boat weighs 580 pounds, uses a space-frame chassis with tubular structure and a car body in fiberglass. The six-cylinder boxer engine 2.0 air-cooled and placed in the center delivers a maximum power of 220 hp, while maximum speed is 280 km / h. Patrick Motorsports The U.S. warrant that you have completed a restoration, paying particular attention to the pavilion area and suspensions, both have been redesigned from scratch and using existing components. No information about the purchase price.

Chrysler has unveiled a surprise 300 S Concept at the ‘Spring Festival of LX in Irvine California. The images published on the official Facebook page and then show the appearance of the sports version of the American sedan and S versions of the Chrysler 200 and Town & Country. The changes include grille, bumpers, headlights, alloy wheels and aerodynamic, while the interior offers some dedicated coatings. Not confirmed yet, but perhaps even a change to the calibration of the framework.

The interest in 300S, of course, is linked to the European market to changes in key sports of the newly Lancia Thema: Changes designed for S could indeed be easily replicated on the European cousin and the same could happen for the 200S, alias Lancia Flavia. More difficult, however, consider the possibility of the Town and Country sports accessories, which is the new Lancia Grand Voyager.

Jaguar confirmed the availability of the 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel for the new XF, awaiting in September with a slight facelift. Journalists Whatcha have in fact been able to drive a prototype of this version, expected to be available to respond to the success of newer models like the new BMW 520d. This downsizing, feared by the public to the risk of buying a car “under-powered,” has been carefully evaluated by Jaguar: thanks to the torque output and the presence of the start-stop system allows the result obtained performance comparable to that of competitors, with an acceleration of 0-100 km / h in 8.5 seconds, with an average consumption of about 4.5 l/100 km and emission of 149 g / km of CO2.

Noise and smooth automatic transmission are key elements to ensure the comfort and Jaguar customers certainly will not miss the new XF, even if the stressed test drive the car is definitely devoted to use laid, without insisting too much on the accelerator, so nice being able to exploit the maximum torque and excellent steering feel. Despite the absence of data, is logical to assume that the 2.2-liter version of Jaguar’s choice for the application that is 190 hp and 420 Nm already used for some model Land Rover, or the power of 200 hp already seen step up Ford Galaxy and Mondeo at this point the entry-level version of the 3-liter diesel V6 with 211 hp might even be unnecessary.

After the big surprise of the Ferrari FF, which exceeded the 612 Scaglietti ancestor with a real revolution in terms of style and technological content, is preparing to replace the Ferrari 599 GTB evergreen with a model-according to rumors first-, will continue in the wake of ultraprestazionali GT Maranello.

Priority of a car is to replace the Fiorano will only be performance. So, let’s start with the numbers: the future will have at least 700 hp Ferrari supercar. To provide this veritable flood of power, will not miss a V12, which-as it is today and as tradition-Ferrari wants to drain all his anger on the rear wheels only.

The mechanical layout, according to PistonHeads will remain true today: the twelve-cylinder will stay in place in the front hood. A significant improvement compared to the 599, will be the weight, and consequently, the fast acceleration performance. But we’re going to go into detail.

Blood red, chrome wheels and a rear-engined all-consuming. So I prefer my Koenigsegg.

What makes brands like Koenigsegg and Pagani so special? Production numbers, power, even beauty is only relative. The marks are on a pedestal because they are downright weird cars and while you complete freedom in composing the perfect “optie’ package. Of course that brings with it a nice price. The next door to impossible to get the same car drive, there’d still like to pay?

The Royal Family of Oman crashes ahead of things and what is right but a “R” version made. Agera with a 200hp more than ‘normal’. You turn the steering wheel with paddles, with which the characteristic long Koenigsegg poker expired. It’s good to be the king!

Forward and back. Could this be the ideal base for your lame front wheel drive car a head turner rear-wheel drive to rear-engined?

If you have the basics of graphics software under your belt at any rate. In practice, the more difficult because you need example, ff you adjust steering and gearbox. Maybe there is a better option than ‘forwards backwards “to drive. But if you are able in a graphics program the roof of a car in reverse and cut back in place you can get great results!

The GT-R is similar to a pusher and the Maserati GranTurismo, the shop also have surprisingly good. The image gallerys are plenty of pictures which you find yourself trying to car.
