2009 Audi R8 GT3

The Audi R8 GT3 sports car comes with powerful 500 hp plus GT3 version of the Audi R8 which will be available from autumn 2009. Because the GT3 regulations prohibit the use of four-wheel drive the Audi R8 comes with the typical GT rear-wheel drive. The Audi R8 GT3 power is transmitted via a newly developed six-speed sequential sports gearbox. The suspension uses almost exclusively components from the production line. A comprehensive list of safety equipment and a modified front end and a large rear-wing generate the required downforce for the race track.

Porsche Carrera 4S

Design

Every element fulfils a function. From this principle, the new 911 draws its inner strength. The logical consequence of this is the new 911 Carrera’s very low drag coefficient of 0.29.

The air intakes on the new front end have been enlarged to provide increased cooling power and give an even more dynamic appearance.

Bi-xenon headlights are fitted as standard on all 911 models. The indicators and LED daytime running lights and position lights are harmoniously integrated into the separate front light units above the outer air intakes for an imposing look. The optional dynamic cornering lights have a swivelling module for the dipped beams – visible engineering for improved visibility.

As with the modified exterior mirrors which provide an even better rearward view.

The rear end, too, has undergone a restyling. The new, imposing LED taillights are drawn right into the wing and taper off to the outside. Unmistakable – especially at night. The stainless steel tailpipes, designed as twin tailpipes on the S model range, are integrated seamlessly. Another important aesthetic contribution is the new wheel design. As standard, 911 Carrera models are fitted with 18-inch wheels and Carrera S models with 19-inch wheels.

Specific to the all-wheel drive variants is the 44 mm wider stance at the rear and the new taillight strip, which, as a striking design feature, lends even more impact to the rear end.

In every respect, the design is unmistakably 911 – because its form follows function. And all the while it maintains its unique appeal.

Character

Outstanding driving dynamics and traction are what the allwheel drive variants of the 911 have to offer above all else. And they’re instantly recognisable. By their wider body – an extra 44 mm at the rear wings. By the wider rear track – 32 mm more in Carrera 4S models – and the wider rear tyres. Also, by their titanium-coloured front air intake grilles and slats, and new seamless taillight strip. Painted in black for contrast, the trims on the lower rear panel and the side skirts provide improved protection against stone impact.

In terms of measurable values:

The performance of the 911 Carrera 4 with the 3.6-litre engine is 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.0 seconds with a top speed of 284 km/h (177 mph).

The 911 Carrera 4S completes the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 4.7 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 297 km/h (185 mph).

On to the internal values:

Both models are equipped with Porsche Traction Management intelligent all-wheel drive, which until now has been exclusive to the 911 Turbo. PTM has been optimised for outstanding driving dynamics, which are also underpinned by the mechanically locking rear differential. In addition, the traction offered by PTM represents a significant safety feature – especially in wet and snowy conditions.

The new 911 Carrera 4 models therefore deliver improvements in both safety and dynamics. However, this is no surprise to their drivers, who see them as an indication of their inner strength.

2009 Mr. Norm’s Dodge Super Challenger

Based on the new 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, the Mr. Norm’s Super Challenger draw inspiration from their race bred relatives, the original 1971 Mr. Norm’s Super Challenger Super Fuel Funny Car and the legendary 1970 Cuda. These vehicles feature a dramatic appearance that matches heart stopping good looks with heart pounding performance.

2009 Faralli & Mazzanti Auto Vulca S

The name, as per Faralli & Mazzanti tradition, is inspired by the Etruscan world. Vulca da Veio is the most famous Etruscan sculptor, responsible for some of the most well known artistical expressions of this great and mysterious ancient population, including the “Apollo di Veio”.







Vulca classically interprets the typical concept of “GT all’italiana”: lightweight, hand beaten all aluminium bodywork, 2+2 coupe, sinuous and modern, elegant yet aggressive style. Under the hood pulsates a powerful, reliable, latest generation engine which provides in all its guises exhilarating performance. Vulca will be produced in very limited numbers: only 10, individually numbered. This will ensure exclusivity and unbelievable attention to detail.

2009 Hyundai Blue-Will Concept

Hyundai has revealed the first pictures of an innovative plug-in hybrid concept car, Blue-Will. Due to be revealed at the Seoul Motor Show which opens on April 2nd, the “BLUE-WILL”, has exceptionally advanced technology crammed inside its striking bodyshell.

The BLUE-WILL concept is powered by an all-aluminium Gasoline Direct Injected 1.6-litre engine which is coupled to a Continuously Variable Transmission and a 100kw electric motor which is at the heart of Hyundai`s parallel hybrid drive architecture.

Electric power, stored by a Lithium Ion Polymer battery pack, is neatly bundled with the fuel tank under the rear seat to maximise luggage space.

2009 Sector111 Lotus Exige

Sector111 has turned its 2006 Lotus Exige into a hardcore, track-ready supercar capable of world-class performance. Every part on the Sector111 Exige is focused and purpose built to the highest standards.

The Sector111 Exige started life with a normally aspirated 1.8 liter Toyota 2ZZ inline-4 engine producing 189 hp. The addition of Sector111’s Katana roots hybrid type supercharger increased the high-revving engine’s power to 240+ hp.





The Sector111 Exige has a comprehensive aerodynamic package that keeps the lightened supercar planted on the road or track. A ReVerie carbon fiber front splitter, carbon fiber undertray and 5-element carbon fiber rear diffuser make the Sector111 Exige a truly flat-bottom car. The aero kit also includes ReVerie carbon fiber side skirts and carbon fiber arch louvers. A ReVerie 1650mm rear wing spans the entire width of the car and keeps the rear wheels glued to the ground.

2009 Mansory Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron

Already the Bugatti Veyron serial edition sets standards in terms of price, maximum speed and engine power and leaves its competitors far behind when a contender for the super sports car is to be crowned. Whoever now thinks that everything possible has been achieved, can be proved wrong. Already visually, the changes clearly show. The front part gets a comprehensive face-lift including modified wings, a shorter hood and a striking front apron. The LED daytime running lights integrated in the front mount and the implemented stylised “V” as a special tribute to the name “Vincerò” draw even more attention to the car.

The newly developed side skirts are the visual and aerodynamic connection between the axles. Larger air outlets at the sides and at the back render optimal engine cooling and in combination with the new diffuser, they underline the powerful car design. Mansory manufactures nearly all auto body parts from ultra-light and high-strength carbon. The applied hardening technique with strong pressure and high temperatures in the autoclave thereby enormously improve the material quality.

In order to perfect the entire visual appearance, Mansory devised new, striking fully-forged turbine-design wheels for the Linea Vincerò in serial dimensions. Also, the power engine is refined by Mansory. Technical innovation is combined with technical expertise and thereby, an increased cooling air supply and optimised exhaust system produce an unbelievable 1109 hp and 1310 Nm.

The Mansory individualisation programme for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is offered in a limited edition via the Middle East partner “Prestige Cars Abu Dhabi”.

2010 Lotus Exige S

The 79th International Geneva Motor Show sees the introduction of the exciting new 2010 Model Year Lotus Exige S with a newly designed front end, a new rear wing and impressive emissions of just 199 g/km CO2. The Lotus Exige is a renowned high performance coupe that has a well earned reputation of choice for drivers who demand uncompromised performance, both on the road and on the track.



Lotus has always pursued efficiency and fuel economy and for the 2010 Model Year Lotus Exige S, Lotus has reduced the emissions to only 199 g/km CO2 and increased the fuel economy to an impressive 8.5 litres/100 km on the Official European Combined Cycle and a frugal 6.5 litres/100 km on the Official European Extra Urban Cycle.





The 2010 Model Year also sees the introduction of a few key changes to the Exige to enhance the look and improve aerodynamic performance.

Since the Exige S2 was launched in 2004, the power has increased from 190 hp through 220 hp to 240 hp in standard road form more for the track centric Exige Cup 260 – and the new larger air intakes improve engine cooling for these current higher powered Exige variants.

Mounted below the three new air intakes is a new aerodynamic splitter for the 2010 Model Year Exige. Made from a lightweight composite, the splitter is now extended to wrap around the whole of the front end and chiseled side lips are raised to deflect air around the tyres to reduce drag.
