2011 Tesla Electric Sports Cars Roadster 2.5

Tesla launched the new Roadster this week and is delivering to customers now. More than 1,200 current Tesla owners in at least 23 countries have logged over five million electric miles in their Roadsters. CHICHESTER, UK — Tesla Motors (TSLA) will unveil its next-generation sports car to the public this weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The latest version of revolutionary electric sports car, Tesla Roadster 2.5.

‘Goodwood is one of the most beloved motoring events in the world and a highlight of the English summer – so it’s only appropriate that this iconic celebration will be the public launch of the latest Roadster,’ said Cristiano Carlutti, Tesla’s Vice President of European Operations.

The Festival of Speed is the world's largest motoring garden party - a unique weekend that brings together a heady mix of cars, stars and motor sport 'royalty' to create the largest car culture festival worldwide. Held in the immaculate grounds of Goodwood House, this annual hill-climb extravaganza celebrates all things automotive.

Its two newest Tesla Stores–in Newport Beach, California, and Copenhagen, Denmark–will open with evening receptions. Both will have the Roadster 2.5 on display. The 2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5 features improvements in design and technology, including a new front fascia, rear diffuser, improved seat comfort, sound dampening and an optional large touch screen navigation system with back-up camera.

Inside, the most significant alteration is undoubtedly more comfortable seats, which have larger bolsters and now include a lumbar support system. Interior noise has been reduced in several ways, including new sound-suppressing front fender liners.

Finally, Tesla has further modified the Roadster’s power-control system, adding unspecified hardware to permit “spirited driving” (which we presume means maximum electric power) in exceptionally hot climates.
Prospective customers can see the Tesla Roadster 2.5 at Goodwood or at the London showroom at 49-51 Cheval Place in Knightsbridge, near Harrod’s. Tesla is now delivering this latest version of the car in all Tesla markets in Europe, Asia and North America.

2010 Ferrari Sports Cars 612 GTO Concept Cars

 2010 Ferrari Sports Cars 612 GTO Concept Cars

Sasha calls himself 'the angry car designer' for some reason, and has no time for fools. A pure conceptual study for a top-end Ferrari, possibly a future generation of the 612 Scaglietti, Selipanov design proposal appears to borrow bits and pieces from certain supercars like the Aston Martin One-77 as well as Maranello’s own 458 Italia.

The Ferrari 612 GTO concept is the work of Sasha Selipanov, an extremely talented, and also incredibly irate, automotive designer based in Berlin, Germany.

The 612 GTO concept is a proposal for the next generation 612 Scaglietti, but with a high-performance GTO twist and completely revised aesthetics. Sasha calls himself 'the angry car designer' for some reason, and has no time for fools.

For the 612 GTO concept Sasha has used influences from the classic Ferrari 250 GTO - which is evident in the triple air intakes molded into the hood.

Bugatti Sports Cars Type 12-2 Concept Car

Bugatti Sports Cars Type 12-2 Concept Car

Here is a Bugatti Concept Car – Bugatti Type 12-2. Racer X has lifted the covers on a new concept vehicle they are calling the Bugatti Type 12-2 concept car which is highlighted by ample storage space and new practical designs. Bugatti is a most famous sports car manufacture, so it is just about power, speed, luxury and everything, designed especially for those who love speed, comfort and style.

Bugatti Type 12-2 concept has been created as a 2+2 sports GT for the Bugatti brand. it is not intended for production. Designed as an example of a luxurious four seater GT, the type 12-2 is the artwork of Reuben Zammit.

The idea is to use a VW derived W12 engine with a twin turbo layout hence the name 12-2. Although not as extravagant as the W16 used in the Veyron, there would be enough power to propel the Type 12-2 to over 200 mph. Every time it competed with 4 different demo cars in 2 different classes for bodystyling.

On the subject of performance, things get considerably more hypothetical. This being purely a design study (and not even a Bugatti-commissioned one) any power-train speculation should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Racer X's specified FR configuration seems to eliminate the Veyron's all-wheel drive, quad-turbo W-16 configuration. Meanwhile, the name "12-2" seems to hint at a 12-cylinder mill sleeping beneath the coupe's hood.

2010 Noble Supercar M600 The British Sports Cars

Here is a new supercar, aimed at the top of the market sector with sensational performance. And it comes from a company with an established record for fast fine-handling cars. That sums up the Noble M600. Noble has released the first images and details of its latest supercar, new M600 supercar. The M600 - built as a purist's car - features very little in the way of Ferrari-like computer control, with the main driver-assist system being a switchable traction control, deactivated via missile-launch-like switch labeled simply 'TC'. There is no ESP, and no anti-lock brakes.

Boasting generic supercar styling, the M600 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-liter Volvo V8. While it's odd hearing "Volvo" and "supercar" in the same sentence, the M600 is anything but Volvo-like. Packing 650 bhp, the car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.0 seconds, 0-100 mph in around 6.5 seconds, and tops out at 225 mph.

To keep things under control, the driver has a choice of three power levels. At the twist of a dial, outputs of 335kW, 410kW and 485kW are available. At the highest power setting, the M600 develops 820Nm of torque. A six-speed Graziano manual transmission is responsible for delivering power from the twin-turbocharged V8 to the rear wheels.

The M600 designer would like to defy these features of a modern car by turning off computer-assisted controls and the like. The design of M600 is focused on the more “analogue” quality of design that uses the principle of pure engineering integrity from building the chassis up to every tiny detail a car must have. A person who is driving this car definitely deserves to be called a driver in the real sense.

Featuring fixed-rate dampers and steering, along with Alcon brakes - with iron discs and limited servo assistance for increased feedback and ease of modulation - the M600 has been developed with an almost archaic sensibility.

It was established in 1999 by Lee Noble in Barwell, Leicestershire, for producing high-speed sports cars with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Lee Noble was the chief designer and owner of Noble. He sold the company in August 2006. He resigned from the company in February 2008 and announced his new venture, Fenix Automotive in 2009.

Deliveries to customers are expected mid 2010. With a retail price of GBP200,000 the cost is as mind blowing as its 225 mph top speed.

Wacana Perkembangan Otomotif Terbaru

Berbicara masalah perkembangan dunia otomotif bilah di telaah dari sudut pandang dunia indonesia tidak ada perkembangan yang sangat signifikan..!!!tapi jika di telaah dari segi perkembangan dunia maka kita bisa membandingkan dari beberapa perusahaan pembuat otomotif seperti.,toyota,honda,corolla,daihatsu,BMW,dll. coba kita liat artikel dibawah dari beberapa. keluaran.
BMW
Sebuah mobil terbaru jenis Audi R8 V-12 TDI Concept sedang dipamerkan di pameran kendaraan Detroit Auto show 2008. Pameran mobil keluaran terbaru ini diikuti oleh berbagai macam merk kendaraan seperti Toyota, Cadillac, Mercedez Benz dan lain-lain

BMW Corp. kembali merilis mobil terbarunya, BMW1 2009 series coupe. BMW terbaru ini merupakan penyempurnaan yang dilakukan terhadap seri-1.

Mobil terbaru ini merupakan hasil riset panjang produsen mobil asal Jerman ini terhadap produk sebelumnya. Riset juga melibatkan seri-seri yang berbeda. Situs caranddriver.com mereview BMW1 2009 ini merupakan produk paket hemat dari BMW. Tujuannya untuk memperluas pangsa pasar Eropa dan Asia.

Yang patut menjadi catatan, dengan harga yang sedikit murah, bukan berarti teknologi yang dimunculkan minim. BMW masih menampilkan kesan high class, penuh kemewahan.

Mobil ini juga dilengkapi teknologi terbaru. iDrive dan smart engine juga terplikasi di tunggangan ini. Upright grille, stubby front overhang, tall roof, dan glassy greenhouse pada dinding kiri-kanan masih mencerminkan khas BMW.

Meski dirahasiakan, perusahaan otomotif rekanan BMW, Brenda Priddy and Company, sempat mengambil gambar BMW1 2009 ini.

Desain eksterior tampak begitu sporty dan elegan. Layaknya sedan BMW lainnya, bagian depan (moncong) dirancang standar. Hanya saja pada bagian belakang dibuat agak pendek. Bagian depan dihiasi headlamp segi lima yang menampilkan kesan mata dengan pandangan tajam.

Spatboard dibuat agak lebar dan ditampilkan dengan sejumlah lubang. Selain mengesankan trendi/modis, bagian ini berfungsi melepas angin dari luar untuk kemudian dihembuskan ke dalam.Grille dibuat sejajar dengan headlamp.

Untuk urusan dapur pacu, belum terendus. Dan, BMW masih sangat merahasiakannya. Jika dilihat dari penampilan, dan beberapa penjelasan pejabat BMW, BMW1 2009 kemungkinan menyandang mesin 3.0 liter inline six, tenaga 215 hingga 255 HP.(http://euniketaylor.blog.com)
