A lot of readers were intrigued and some even confused by the video teaser we showed you a couple of days ago, some even had stabs at telling us what the machine really was, and although we knew the facts we were sworn to secrecy.

Now the secret is out and BMW has revealed that the Vision EfficientDynamics is a 2+2 sport car that can hit 250km/h, go from zero to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds yet consumes diesel, yes diesel, fuel at the rate of 3.76 litres per 100 kilometres, which makes it more fuel efficient than a Toyota Prius.

What happens when you try to build a car using parts from several different other cars.

Well a Nissan Maxima owner from Kuwait wanted to find out first hand so he started working.

Audi Shark - The Flying Car Of Future

2010-12-07T05:32:00.000-08:00

Winner of the World Auto Design Contest 2009, the Italian competition Domus Academy which awards the most innovative in the automotive scene, the Audi Shark promises to be one of the most exciting cars of the future .

The designer Karim Doku inspired by motorcycles and airplanes to create a 3D model of a futuristic car that has no wheels and is capable of flying. Reinterpretation of the language Audi born a vehicle that lives up to its name. Their sharp edges, its structure, the matte finish and very gray make it resemble a shark, and Audi Shark aspires to be so on the road.

In subsequent appendages that look like a tail and looks that complement the environment while ensuring speed and stability, has other interesting features. Recalling his inspirations, the door not only differs from a plane that wraps itself around the cockpit and the two places where this unusual sports car put passengers in a very comfortable position.

It features underwater allied himself with a modern aesthetic where either the headlights or the rear, are composed of LED units mounted on plastic tubes. The end result is plain: a conceptual vehicle similar to a flying submarine.

In the vision of its creator would be a means of transporting high-power and advanced technology, able to overcome the limitations of ordinary cars, offering passengers “strong feelings and high security.”

This is a great example of futurism is not far from reality, which may one day reduce the risk of road accidents while providing a unique feeling of flying.

Futuristic Bugatti Stratos Concept

The mesmerizing Buggati Stratos created by the French graphic designer affirms that it is favorable to let go the tech spec considerations to create a gem of a design. Bruno was inspired by the ever so beautiful Buggati Type 57 Atlantic and that inspiration did help him weave magic. Some design cues were also picked up from the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Mille Miglia (for the front end) and Raymond Loewy’s locomotive designs. I must say that it for the first time I don’t really bother whether the Stratos will ever make the cut or not.

Toyota will offer first plug-in hybrid cars

2010-11-02T07:42:00.000-07:00

To save the environment, more and more auto makers are moving into making hybrid-electric vehicles the type of vehicles that can feed on bio oil and use batteries alternatively, which the main objective is to improve fuel efficiency. Now, Toyota, as the leader of green auto makers, has announced that itâ€™d build its first plug-in hybrid car by 2010. The plug-in hybrid is different from the current hybrid models, which allows recharging of the batteries from any ordinary power outlet. Conventional hybrids are recharged by power generated by the wheels.

The plug-in hybrid vehicle that is to be developed by Toyota, will run on lithium-ion batteries, instead of the nickel-metal hydride batteries that power the Prius and other Toyota models. The plug-in hybrid and lithium-ion powered vehicles are said to be capable of achieving fuel efficiency of 99.9 miles-per-gallon in electric mode. But it can only go up to 7 miles on pure battery power.

Toyota will unveil the models that will have plug-in hybrid versions available at the 2009 Detroit auto show. The new lithium-ion-equipped vehicles will first be made available to Toyotaâ€™s commercial customers â€” such as government agencies and corporations.

The announcement of Toyota is seen as a strong competitor to GM, which has also announced that theyâ€™d produce their own plug-ins around the same time.

Lamborghini Reventon beat bugati Veyron

2010-04-11T13:15:00.000-07:00

Lamborghini Reventon

Lamborghini Reventon super car was first introduced at the Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany, in 2007. Now, in 2009, looks increasingly changing with kevlar-like material body F-117 Stealth aircraft Night Bird. Yet the real inspiration is also a stealth fighter interceptor, the F-22 Raptor, unprecedented in the east and west.
Reventon is designed to cost up to $ 1.6 million, in a special hangar where the F-22 raptor also "stay". It is estimated that, if sold on the market must be redeemed for $ 3 million dollars, or about USD $ 30 billion more. This can be for a Boeing commercial aircraft used 737-300/400s.

Bugatty Veyron Compare prices which have been sold into the market at a price $ 1.4 million, or approximately USD 14 billion. What are the advantages Reventon so expensive?

Look at the engine which heat-resistant glass cylinder with 6.5-liter V12. The result amounted to 650 horsepower power (hp) and 487 pound-feet of torque. It's still under Bugatty Veyron which can shoot up to 1001 hp power. Either too fast as Reventon Bugatti Veyron which can go up to 435 km / h with acceleration 0-100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds!

Bugatti Veyron

But remember, this Lamborghini Reventon will only be made as much as 20 units. That is, only the Sultan of Brunei's classmates who might have them. 11 unit itself already booked for the United States market alone. So we have to imagine will be able to enjoy driving sensations. Just imagine enough huh?

Do not ask the interior, which is also designed based on the F-22 Raptor. All-digital and versatile "flight-by-wire". Clad headlights bonnet typical radiate powerful stealth thanks to the Bi-Xenon units. Created using Alcantara material, carbon fiber, aluminum and leather interior. Space is also exactly the steering cockpit F-22 Raptor. Raw material is also similar, clad in aluminum and carbon fiber.

All tuning there, including even the G-force, which will assess the level of gravity that can be felt by the driver if the car "fly" and float when maneuvering in very high speed, then brake suddenly. Similar cars in films science fiction movies, 3D LCD will give all information to the "pilot" with very accurate. Everything just the same as that used in fighter aircraft, and some have similar F-1 racing cars.

Pagani’s Zonda Car

Only 10 percent of the Zonda F’s DNA has been retained in the R version, and the remaining 90 percent designed by Horacio Pagani from scratch. The Zonda R goes one up over the F in every sense of the word: it is longer and wider than the F, shells out 750hp from a Mercedes-Benz AMG-sourced 6.0 liter V12, and catapults from rest to 100km/h in less than 2.7 seconds. That’s three-quarters of the time the Zonda F takes to achieve the same acceleration. Pagani claims the Zonda R is capable for a top speed of more than 350km/h.

Presenting aggressive looks and features, the car is capable of reaching a speed of about 160 km/h with a range of around 500km, which is ideal for short distance travel in a crowded city. The body of the car is finished with aluminum composite, hard plastic, carbon fiber and glass, giving a foolproof protection to commuters in case of an accident. Replacing the interior rearview mirror, the hybrid features an LCD screen in the main console to display the video captured by the hi-resolution camera located at the rear of the car. The Leonin would set you back something between €18,000 and €25,000, according to the intensity of technology and equipment used in the car.

The FAB-Design Mercedes Mclaren

2010-02-24T07:35:00.000-08:00

The SLR Desire is a creation of Swiss tuners FAB-Design, specialists in Mercedes-Benz customization. The SLR Desire is their first attempt at modifying the SLR and the vehicle was first unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

The FAB-Design Mercedes Mclaren SLR Desire features a very noticeable and polarizing body modification which is sure to have both the "love it" and "hate it" camps split into equal numbers. The styling seems to be partially inspired by the design of the original Mercedes-Benz 300 SL from the 1950s, and the two cars share the same distinctive horizontal wheel arch extensions.

The radical front end of the SLR Desire features enlarged intakes and a much deeper front bumper with an integrated lip spoiler, new vents have also been incorporated into the bumper just forward of the front wheels. Down the sides the new side sills are noticeably deeper and wider and help to connect the front and rear wheel arch extensions. At the rear of the SLR Desire a distinctive 'V' shaped design divides the larger diffuser into two separate side. This v-shaped styling is echoed in the upside-down v-shape of the rear spoiler mounting. The massive 20" wheels of the SLR Desire are also a product of FAB-Design.

Powering the SLR Desire is the same 5.4 litre supercharged V8 found in the standard car, however FAB-Design have managed to up the power output to 750 horsepower and, raise the torque level to an enormous 1,080 Nm. This setup gives the SLR Desire a top speed of 196 mph and a 0-62 mph (100km/h) time of 3.6 seconds

Top 20 Fastest cars in the World 2009

2009-12-19T06:18:00.000-08:00

Faced with the recent pub quiz question ‘ what is the top speed of the world ‘ s fastest production car? ‘ the Sky Motoring quiz crew were quite appalled when (a) they had to ponder the question for a good three minutes and (b) couldn ‘ t rank the other fastest cars in an appropriate order.

So taking this simple premise, we ‘ ve decided to geek up and show you (in order) the world ‘ s fastest production cars so that (a) should this quiz question ever arise again, you are in no doubt as to the answer and (b) should you have Ronaldo ‘ s level of wedge in your pocket and fancy going 200+mph, you know exactly what to buy. Enjoy!

The 204mph, 621bhp Bentley Continental Supersport is the fastest production Bentley ever. (328 Km/hr)

The 205mph Porsche Carrera GT is Stuttgart engineering at its best. (329 Km/hr)

The Mercedes McLaren SLR can hit 207mph. And it ' s an automatic. (333 Km/hr)

One Dodge Viper V10 + an eccentric British coach builder = the 525bhp, 210mph Bristol Fighter. (337 Km/hr)

The first Italian supercar in our list is the 211mph Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. (339 Km/hr)

The retro-shaped Ford GT uses a thoroughly modern supercharged 5.4-litre V8 to hit 212mph. (341 Km/hr)

The new Lamborghini Murcielago SV is lighter, harder and at 213mph, faster than the standard Murci. (342 Km/hr)

Lamborghini ' s Italian neighbour Pagani has developed the stunning 215mph Zonda F. (346 Km/hr)

It may not quite have been the car we were hoping for, but the Jaguar XJ220 could still hit 217mph. (349 Km/hr)

That ' s the same top-speed as the much more recent Ferrari Enzo, named after Ferrari ' s founder.

The British-built Ascari A10 uses a tuned BMW V10 to hit 220mph. (354 Km/hr)

The Gumpert Apollo may be a bit of an ugger and have a stupid name, but how many cars can go 224mph? ... (360 Km/hr)

The B-engineering Edonis develops 680bhp from its quad turbo 3.7litre V6 to hit 227mph. Gulp. (365 Km/hr)

Obviously the standard Apollo wasn’t fast (or ugly) enough, hence the 230mph Gumpert Apollo Speed. (370Km/hr)

The McLaren F1 was doing 240mph 17-years ago! Just shows how much of an engineering marvel it was. (386 Km/hr)

You can tell the Koenigsegg CCX has a blistering top speed of 245mph just by looking at it. Scary. (394Km/hr)

The American-built Saleen S7 can hit 248mph. OK, this is getting ridiculous now... (399Km/hr)

The Porsche 9ff GT9 is one of three cars able to break the 250mph barrier. (402 Km/hr)

And you thought the 253mph Bugatti Veyron would be top of the list. Not any more. (403Km/hr)

The top spot now goes to Shelby Supercars and the 257mph SSC Ultimate Aero. (413.60Km/hr)

2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG

2009-11-01T08:03:00.000-08:00

AMG, Mercedes' in-house hot-rod shop, might have recently called an end to the horsepower war it helped instigate, but the 518-hp 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG indicates the company is not exactly ready to lay down its arms completely.

True, this new model, which will be unveiled at the New York auto show, brings only an additional 11 hp to the E-Class hot rod, compared to the E63 it replaces. We grew accustomed to great leaps in power every time the E-Class AMG was renewed. The big 6.2-liter that arrived for 2007 brought a 38-hp bump from the previous car. And by slapping a supercharger on the 5.5-liter in 2003, AMG added a whopping 120 hp to the existing E55 AMG.

So, by adding the powertrain of the SL63, AMG might not be catapulting over the new horsepower heavy in the class, the 556-hp Cadillac CTS-V, but 518 is still a staggering amount of juice. And its bark is as gnarly as its bite. An AMG official started up a 2010 E63 at a sneak peek of the car in Affalterbach, Germany, and gave the throttle a few quick stabs. It sounded very perturbed.

In addition to the 518-hp rip-snorter of an engine, the E63 AMG also snatches from the SL63 its seven-speed AMG Speedshift MCT transmission. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission, this unit has no torque converter. Instead it uses a wet-clutch system in which a series of clutches (six in total) allows for quicker shifting and a more direct connection between the engine and the gears. The tranny incorporates four shift programs — Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Manual — and can, says Mercedes, swap gears as quickly as the automated manual used in many Ferraris. Steering column-mounted paddles are the preferred mode for shifting. But gearchanges can also be activated by the console-mounted shift lever. Like the SL63's unit, the E63's also automatically blips the throttle on downshifts and incorporates a "Race Start" launch control function that requires so many steps to activate that we lost track of the full procedure.

Mercedes (modestly) claims a 0-62-mph sprint of 4.5 seconds.

Naturally, AMG also worked over the suspension and steering systems of the new E-Class sedan (referred to internally as W212). Unlike the previous E63, the 2010 model uses steel springs up front in place of the Airmatic air spring units. The rear suspension maintains the air springs for their self-leveling ability. It's not just the springs either, as much of the front suspension is new for the AMG model. With new control arms, the front suspension results in a 2.2-inch-wider track than the standard 2010 E-Class and is set for more negative camber. New electronically controlled dampers can be set in Comfort, Sport or Sport Plus modes, depending on the driver's mood. If all of the different transmission and suspension modes confuse you, the E63 comes with an "AMG" button that saves your preferred settings for both.

The wider front track required unique bulging front fenders to go along with the expected AMG body upgrades such as side skirts, a deeper rear apron with a diffuser panel in the center, four squared-off exhaust tips and a deeper chin spoiler. The standard E63 will wear 18-inch wheels, although 19s, like those on the car we saw, will be optional. The 19-inch forged aluminum wheels carry 255/35 front and 285/30 rear Pirelli P Zero rubber. The 18-inch wheels will carry Michelin Pilot Sport PS3 tires, making it the first production car to wear the new top Michelins. The big compound brake discs are slotted and pierced. Carbon ceramic brake discs — measuring almost 16 inches across in front — will be optional. The E63 also carries a 14:1 steering ratio, some 22 percent quicker than the standard E-Class.

All of this adds up to a sport sedan that is "a galaxy apart from its predecessor," and that "corners better than a C63," according to AMG. You'll get your chance to test those assertions at the end of 2009 when the car goes on sale. Be aware, though, that if you order up an E63 with a bunch of options, you won't get much change back from your $100,000 bill.

New concept car - BMW Vision EfficientDynamics

The official world premier will take place this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
BMW will never fail to surprise me because every time they introduce a new car it is always a masterpiece.

The new BMW Vision is a hybrid car that has 2 electric motors and a three-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. The total capacity is of 356 HP. The car can reach 100 km/h in only 4.8 seconds. And the best about this hybrid is the fuel consumption – no more than 3,76 liters for 100 km. Incredible! Love this car.

Electric Vehicle Concept

2009-09-08T09:17:00.000-07:00

A new electric concept car was shown at the 2009 Shanghai Motor Show. The vehicle comes from Brilliance, a company with very little experience in the making of electric cars. Nevertheless they have presented this EV which they currently have no plans of producing. It runs on a choice of one or two motors that are powered by lithium-ion batteries.

Brilliance says one motor produces 30bhp (22kW) and 44 lb ft (60Nm) of torque. Using this setting the car will travel 93 miles (150km) at a speed of 25mph (40km/h). Powering both motors will produce 63bhp (47kW) and 89lb ft (121Nm) of torque and a top speed of 81mph (130km/h). No range has been declared for this dual mode.

Charging the batteries using normal household electrical outlets will take eight hours while using a fast charger will take 30 minutes.
