Peugeot is building a brand new sport scar, yes, you read it correctly. Personally I didn’t expect this at all. Peugeot and sports car, is that a combination? Well after seeing the images, I think it is.
The specs are even great too! Who could think about that?! (more…)
The Project One-77 is ‘the final expression of what Aston Martin stands for’, blending modern technology with craftsmanship and exclusiveness.
It marks the first appearance of a new Aston Martin engine, a 7.3-litre V12 to give over 700bhp and a top speed of over 200mph. A two-door, two-seat coupe with a new carbonfibre monococque body structure, the One-77 is to feature active aerodynamics and ‘deliver breathtaking levels of power and performance.’
The ‘Project One-77′ name is just a working title, says Aston, but it does symbolize the planned production run: just 77 will be made. Customer deliveries will start late next year.
Honda will renew the Insight name, but this most recent model will be more practical than the original two-seat Insight.
The proposal is to make this a true challenger for the Toyota Prius. It’s an appropriate small family-sized five-door, five-seater, with cabin space uncompromised by its battery pack, which is put on underneath the boot.
The new, protuberant-bodied Insight looks a lot like Honda’s FCX Clarity fuel cell car, and even though it’s not much of a looker it does have one very alluring selling point – it’s going to be priced ‘extensively lower than any other hybrid car on the market,’ says Honda, which hopes to sell 200,000 a year.
On the Internet we did found some really nice Audi. It’s called the Audi O concept car, designed by Czech Ondrej Jirec.
The real reason about this car was to design the Audi O, “to fuse a powerful and innovative audio system with a stylish and sporty four-seat hatchback”. We think it went pretty good! Here some images, thanks to AudiTalk that wrote about the Audi O Concept car.
There is also another great thing about this car. People who are really interested into Alternative Fuels, “it’s designed to be a low-sound Hybrid to make sure passengers can enjoy their Drum ‘n Bass without any background noise…”
Here some nice images:
Fiat has formed an open-bodied beach-buggy perception called Portofino for the Caravan Salon show in Düsseldorf.
The Portofino is based on the Fiorino Qubo mini-van, and has room for five with added room for luggage. Its seats are made of waterproof natural-fiber with upholstery and trim, with a boat-style laminated wood floor. The rear seat can be divided or even detached.
