Aston Martin Super Sport

British car manufacturer Aston Martin has been collaborating with Star Electric Cars France to create a new project dubbed Aston Martin Super Sport. The new model will be produced in a limited run of only 8 units, each priced at a whooping €7,500,000 (around $9,600,000 at the current exchange rates).

  The Super Sport will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4 liter V-8 engine producing up to 950 horsepower, this awesome engine is mated to a six-speed manual transaxle synchronized with an integral, torque sensing limited-slip differential. The exhaust system is powder coated. The brake kit includes Brembo or AP carbon ceramic brakes.

 The limited edition supercar is only available in left-hand drive and features upward hinging doors. Furthermore, the Aston Martin Super Sport will feature carbon fiber bodywork, scissor doors, and a DB9-inspired front end. The interior will boast Recaro seats, leather/alcantara upholstery, carbon fiber trim, and a satellite navigation system with iPod connectivity.

 The coachbuilder will only make eight cars worldwide, each color will only be made once. Sky blue is available immediately. As a customer you can visit the company to see the car and test drive it. He or she can choose the color for the exterior and interior as well as any additional option.

 Simply awesome, I bet the billionaire car enthusiasts can't wait to add this beauty to their collections.

Arash AF10 Supercar

Those car enthusiasts with a strong memory might recall the Arash AF10, a prototype supercar which was displayed at the 2006 London Motor Show. Come November and this car will be back in the spotlight as the company is now finally ready to unveil the first production version of the AF10 to the world.

 

The supercar will make its world debut at the 2010 MPH The Prestige & Performance Motor Show. The AF10, which to some may look like the ugly sibling of the Ferrari Enzo, was originally slated to be an affordable supercar. However, pricing is to start at £620,000 (approximately $1 million), which Arash hopes will allow the AF10 to steal sales away from other small-scale supercar manufacturers, such as Koenigsegg and Pagani.

 

 

The car is said to use the 550-horsepower seven-liter LS7 V8 engine from a Corvette ZR-1. For this car, the engine would crank out up to 475 ft-lb of torque. The engine would be mated to a six-speed Graziano GT-ME1 transmission. The car would ride on custom two-piece aluminum wheels measuring 9.5×19 inches in the front, and 12.5×20 inches in the rear.

 

The body of the Arash AF10 is made of a carbon fiber body and panels with a core of aluminum in honeycomb configuration. The body will be manufactured, Arash says, by F1 engineers, who are used to using carbon fiber on top of a honeycomb aluminum core. The Arash AF-10 comes straight from the factory hitting a top speed of 205 mph, however for those of you who crave more than the standard 550 HP offering, the British super car builder will also prepare an 800 HP and 1200 HP version.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Panamericana

The Gullwing-America team lead by Chief Engineer Arturo Alonso has started work on an exterior styling package for the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in an effort to make it look more retro and closer to that of the legendary Gullwing 300 SL.

As you can see from the stunning renderings, the clean grille, the ribs on the bonnet and fenders and other details that made the original Gullwing a collector's item are featured in the conversion kit - dubbed "Panamericana" - and consists of seven body parts made from a hybrid of aluminium and carbon fibre, two side vents, a set of chrome details including a grille frame, new oval dual xenon headlights, a staggered set of GWA wheels (19-inches at the front; 20-inches at the rear), a sports exhaust system plus other bits and pieces.

Alcantara centre-piece insert for the seats with special contrast stitching to resemble the plaid design of the past and a set of illuminated brushed aluminium door sills that light up with the engraved Panamericana logo as you open the doors are the only optional upgrades for the stunning interior.

The Bugatti Veyron Diamond Edition

The Bugatti Veyron Diamond Edition, 1:18 scale of the real car, is undoubtedly the world's most expensive model car. The attention to detail while designing and creating this model is most definitely commendable. The engine and all parts are modeled to perfection and the hood and steering are functional. The bespoke creation comes accompanied with a certification of authenticity, glass house, aluminum case as well as a photo documentation of the manufacturing process.
Despite being the size of a toy, Bugatti Veyron Diamond Edition costs twice as much as the real Veyron. An exclusive creation, this model is limited to just 3 examples only.

Porsche 918 Spyder

The 918  Spyder is one of three hybrid models Porsche presented at the Geneva Auto Show in March, The car is powered by a V8 engine capable to deliver 500 hp but also by two electric motors, one on the front and one on the rear axle with an overall mechanical output of 218 horsepower. This means that the car delivers a total output of over 700 hp which can push the car from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and a top speed limited electronically to 198 mph.
Although the power output of the Porsche 918 Spyder is enough to start a nuclear power plant, its CO2 emissions are low enough for it to be driven by the Green Peace. It sends out in the atmosphere just 70 g/km.

The Koenigsegg Solar-Electric Quant Concept

The Koenigsegg Solar-Electric Quant Concept Car looks like a toy car.
This is an innovative concept that takes energy from the sun. This solar-electric car amazed spectators at the Geneva Motor Show and earned bragging rights to Swedish car manufacturer NLV Solar and Koenigsegg.
With a charging time of less than 20 minutes which is good for 300 miles, the Koenigsegg Solar-Electric Quant Concept Car is indeed a car to watch out for when it if it makes it to production stage. Thanks to fool's gold or pyrite, this novelty of a car takes advantage of the tremendous photovoltaic properties that can revolutionize solar technology and the car industry.
NLV is a leader in pyrite technology and it has managed to prove this leadership to the world with the Koenigsegg Solar-Electric Quant Concept Car. It has assured car enthusiasts about the high efficiency of their Pyradian solar cells which will turn the Quant into a massive moving solar panel.
It seems this concept will soon become a reality because prototypes are already being made to scale up and in preparation for production. But even if it sees production will the Koenigsegg Solar-Electric Quant Concept Car gather enough interest for the market to gobble it up as a practical auto?

Corvette Stingray Concept

Have you seen Transformers : Revenge of the fallen ? will I did , and I did see the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept .As you can see from the pictures, this is no ordinary Vette. The body has been changed dramatically to resemble the old Stingray from 1959 while also using bits and pieces from other generations.
There has been some major work done to the body of the new Stingray. The grill, lights, the rear. Pretty much the entire car has had extensive remodeling.but the quad exhaust has been replaced.
I don't have information about what's beneath the hood, yet.
The Stingray Concept looks futuristic and unique and modern, progressive interpretation of the 1959 Stingray. Or a bad looking car , I only for the best .

Mercedes Benz CL63 AMG 2010

Mercedes unleashes the new CL63 AMG, with a hand-built AMG 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 with 571bhp and 663lb ft of pulling power. wich according to BBC TV Show Top Gear Website is considerable,if you are in the mood for pulling.

Using subtle forms of witchcraft and some Big Brains, the CL63 AMG sends its power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed AMG semi-automatic gearbox to hit 62mph in just 4.4 secs, and a top speed of 186mph with the AMG performance pack.

Despite the massive power, the new 5.5-litre V8 - which replaces the 6.3-litre AMG of old - gives 7.4mpg more than before, and emits 29 per cent less CO2.

Still, drive-it-like-you-stole-it and you'll notice the AMG's standard fit Direct-Steer and torque vectoring brake systems, the latter of which gently applies the brake on the inner wheel when cornering.

You get a range of AMG trinkets to trumpet your autobahn-crushing dominance to puny earth-cars, including some rather tasty 19-inch light-alloy wheels.
