Lamborghini Ankonian – Concept

The Lamborghini Reventon, inspired by a fighter jet, offers a virtual version and mix of utopian and Reventon Murcielago LP640, the fruit of a union with an F117 Night Hawk stealth fighter American. The result is a supercar tortured, angular, aggressive, classy, bestial traits that could almost evoke a concept unveiled by the manufacturer in two rafters at the last Mondial de l’Automobile in Paris. It’s not too long ago it turned on the IAA 2009 Lamborghini before the fighter jet as Reventon sports roadster, the successor comes as a concept car now, therefore, virtually. The angular Ankonian comes from the pen of design students Slavche Tanevsky from the FH Munich. The Stealth combines striking design language of the Reventon, the young Italian designer with an elegant touch. The triangular area of the study can be seen only at the rear and the front fenders, while the rather narrow side-effect. The name of the Ankonian goes back to a rather slow object, it comes from a strong breed of cattle, which is famous for her black fur. The designer Slavche Tanevsky is cowardly when he imagines his version of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, an exercise in style full virtual rendering final concept but the least bad. Nothing to say this concept Ankonian enjoys a sacred “mouth”. To see more, just visit the picture gallery below. Then a feeling? ...

Test Drive: Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport – everything a man wants

Test Drive: Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport – everything a man wants

Mar 1, 2010

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is a violent, taunting, confounding and punctiliously engineered maelstrom. It is a handmade wonder built in a castle, and yet resembles a slightly squashed jelly bean. It has a $30,000 stereo, but it’s too much work to actually listen to it. The 16-cylinder, quad-turbocharged engine with 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque is programmed not to let you damage it, but in just one afternoon, the leather-trimmed coachwork on the doors will be a mess of shoe marks. The car’s brake rotors are chaperoned by 28 brake pistons, but using them forcefully is like begging someone to plow into the aforementioned engine. The car will cost you €1.6 million (roughly $2.24M USD), for which you get, as a soft top, an umbrella. That’s right, an umbrella. Own it and you’ll be master of the quickest accelerating production car in the world, and yet you’ll probably never remember what that acceleration is like. When we drove the Veyron coupe, we admitted to not being carried away by its looks, but we found a greater appreciation for the lines of this car. Excising a portion of the roof doesn’t change our minds, but that isn’t to say that the design doesn’t look good. More importantly, that isn’t to say that the Bugatti doesn’t have a certain… something… that will impress itself upon you even after just one meeting. From the side, although the car’s surfaces are austere, how they intersect in three dimensions is rather lively. Our favorite line is from the rear three-quarter, the...

The CCXR is finally held a FlexFuel variant for operation with bio-ethanol. Now, the evolution continues. The result is the Koenigsegg Agera, which is celebrating its world premiere in Geneva. In the middle of the vehicle directly behind the passengers, comes the familiar 4.7-liter V8 powerplant. While this obviously does however consider that the technician with 806 bhp Koenigsegg CCX is suffering from a lack of performance in, he gets in Agera 679 kW/923 hp and 1098 Newton meters of torque missed. He runs in 3.1 seconds and to 100 in 8.9 seconds at 200 km/h. For very open highway are more than 395 km/h possible.
