2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept

Bertone will also present a full-race GT2 variant of the B99 at the 2011 Geneva show. Bertone will present not only the Luxury Sport Sedan in Geneva but also a full GT2 race version, maintaining the exceptional "double soul" tradition of the Jaguar brand, adding high speed aerodynamic appendages and aggressive graphics for continued success on the race track. The name B99 stands for B as in Bertone and 99 for the company near 100 year anniversary in 2012, one of the oldest design companies in the world. The concept projects Jaguar's classic style into the future with refined Bertone elegance, exploring a fascinating new form language with a "dynamic imbalance" between parallel lines and leaping forms.

In terms of technological innovation, the 2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept uses a full hybrid long range power system tuned by Bertone Energy (the newest Bertone division dedicated to renewable energy research). Bertone has been studying alternative powertrains for the past twenty years, with many examples including full electric "extreme" concept cars like the 1992 Blitz or 1994 Zer record car, which was the first full electric car to break the 300 km/h speed barrier in the world.

With the 2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept, Bertone establishes a new record in its 99 year history as the only Italian designer to have created five different Jaguars. The previous models are the 1957 XK 150, produced in a limited edition of four copies, the 1966 Jaguar FT concept car, the 1967 Jaguar Pirana, and 1977Jaguar Ascot.

As for all the techie goodness, among the additions found on the interior of the 2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept are trumpet gauges wrapped in aluminum and suspended between the wing and the dashboard, a discrete multi-media screen, “Ebony Macasar African Wood, and air vents that are partly hidden just behind the car’s wrap-around wing. On top of that, there’s also an infotainment controller that rises from the B99’s center console.

Just like with a lot of high-grade cars these days, the 2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept comes with its own powertrain in the form of a 1.4-liter gas engine with 168 horsepower that goes together with two 150 kW motors - each motor has 201 horsepower apiece - rounding out the total output to around 570 horsepower while only emitting 30g/km of CO2.

2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept

Bertone didn’t divulge any pricing information on the 2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept so your guess is as good as ours. Jaguar and Bertone are pegging the car as a future luxury car so we expect the price tag attached to this baby to hit somewhere around $70,000 to $80,000.

2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept

Looking since this is a concept, the 2011 Jaguar Bertone Race Car B99 Concept still offers a ways to go prior to it is delivered the green light for production. But from what we have looked of the car so quick, we wouldn’t be shocked if this mysterious concept discovers its way past a dream of pipe and into production lines real immediately.

Lamborghini Sport Cars Concept Rompighiaccio by Denis Archambault

This was designed by Denis Archambault and wants to be the next future supercar. Lamborghini releases on the market amazing fast cars almost every year, proving that incredible vehicles can be manufactured by imperfect human beings. All the Lamborghini cars are usually impressive because of their exterior design which is meant to follow the aerodynamic rules in order to improve the top speed of these supercars. In addition, the Italian automaker tried to improve each and every one of the components used for manufacturing the cars no matter if it was about the main material (nowadays mainly carbon fiber) used to build the frame and the interior of the car or about the engineering and technical components.

The Lamborghini Sport Cars Concept Rompighiaccio by Denis Archambault that allows an eco drive without compromising on luxury. Conceived by designer Denis Archambault, the electric car draws inspiration from the snow sculpts created by wind in the Arctic landscape to provide a zero-emission ride in utmost luxury. The rear spoiler of the Lamborghini Sport Cars Concept Rompighiaccio by Denis Archambault adjusts its shape to lower the speed without much braking force.

The vehicle takes inspiration from the snow sculpts created by wind in the Arctic landscape and also by a wolf’s anatomy. The absence of the distinctive engine allows utilization of space in a better way.

Lamborghini Sport Cars Concept Rompighiaccio by Denis Archambault

Being an electrical model, the Lamborghini Sport Cars Concept Rompighiaccio by Denis Archambault will not feature it’s bulky engine that other cars have and because of this, there will be more interior space to use. Nevertheless, the Lamborghini Sport Cars Concept Rompighiaccio by Denis Archambault is said to deliver the same or even better performance as it’s competitor models, which is frankly a very daring statement. It will be interesting to see a Lamborghini will have more or less the same power and also have no emissions.

This future Lamborghini is unique due to its ultra modern and compact design that is completed with an interior that goes to the next level when it comes to luxury. The competition between these two “green” supercars will be fierce, but interesting and exciting for the ones that will take advantage of the final products.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

FRANKFURT, Germany — The 2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept, the latest concept that’s scheduled to break cover at the biggest auto show of the year is the Kia Sport Cars Sedan GT Concept, a 390-horsepower rear-wheel-drive Sport sedan with suicide doors, was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. It has certainly taken the company too long to get around to designing a sports car, but Kia's first rear-wheel drive car is a beauty, and it's packing a V-6 turbo, too. Kia has been changing what people think about Korean cars for well over a year now thanks to some impressive designs, and now the automaker is looking to add some performance to its lineup with the new GT Concept – the first ever rear-drive vehicle by Kia.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

This is the GT concept. Kia has appeared to step out of their zone of bland economy cars and into the arena of sleek custom cars. The GT apparently gives a hint to the company's new design direction inspired by "the iconic 1970s GT cars, capable of whisking passengers from Paris to the South of France in effortless style and at high speed. It would be a dream to put this into production" says Peter Schreyer, Kia design chief. "It's exactly the kind of car Kia should be making."

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

Set to be unveiled tomorrow at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept is a rear-drive coupe-styled sedan that we can now confirm is powered by a turbocharged and direct-injection 3.3-liter V6 making 395-hp and 394 lb-ft of torque. Helping get power to the ground in a smooth and fuel efficient manner is an 8-speed automatic transmission. This four-seat concept, introduced at the Frankfurt auto show, hints at the expected rear-wheel-drive sports sedan from Kia—which would be a first for the brand. It’s looking like a pretty sure thing, while also looking pretty darn good and unlike anything we’ve seen yet from Korea.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

It’s a turbocharged version of the direct-injected 3.3-liter V-6 engine the conglomerate sells in other markets. In this application, it’s tied to the new eight-speed automatic seen in the Genesis and Equus, and delivers 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. The engine  2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept makes sense as the downsized replacement for the Koreans’ current 4.6-liter V-8. When the GT—or some semblance thereof—goes into production, either a turbocharged four-cylinder or a naturally aspirated V-6 will likely power the base model.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

“This concept allows us to explore exciting new design directions, as using a rear-drive layout creates very different proportions compared to a front-wheel drive car,” says Peter Schreyer, Kia’s Chief Design Officer.  ”The classic front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout of a performance saloon has distinct appeal not just for the domestic Korean audience, but also for the European and American markets.”

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

Ignore the carbon-fiber wheel fins and sills, the glass-panel OLED interior controls, and the suicide doors, and you still end up with an attractive and eye-catching design. Kia design chief Peter Schreyer has gone on record saying he wants to build more interesting and fun-to-drive cars, and this is one about which he’s clearly excited. The GT’s silhouette reminds somewhat of the Porsche Panamera and Audi A7, which is no bad thing. At least when it comes to styling, where it has in the past diverged most from its Hyundai sibling, Kia seems to be heading in the right direction.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

New vehicle platforms being the expensive, engineering-intensive undertakings that they are, we fully expect the production version of this concept to ride on underpinnings shared with Hyundai. Kia even supplied dimensions for the GT (more evidence of an imminent if not already lit green light), quoting a wheelbase of 112.6 inches, which is three inches shy of the Hyundai Genesis sedan’s and 1.6 greater than the Genesis Coupe’s. In other words, it’s doable with the company’s current rear-drive parts.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

The 4.690 mm long and 1.890 mm wide concept car, which signals Kia’s distinctive new design direction, has the classic front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout of a high performance sport sedan which ensures very different proportions from a front-wheel drive car.

2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept

The new concept allowed Kia to explore exciting new visual paths – with an extended bonnet, the front wheels pushed to the very front of the 2011 Kia Sport Cars Kia GT Concept, the cab-rearward stance with powerful rear shoulders and a truncated rear end. The front doors and rear-hinged back doors open at a slight upward angle ensuring easy access to the spacious and airy interior which provides generous, uncluttered cabin accommodation for four – thanks in part to the Kia GT’s unusually long wheelbase (2.860 mm) and despite its low stance, overall height is just 1.380 mm.

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

To the Frankfurt motor show 2011 Audi has brought new A5 DTM racer. Internally named "R17," the A5 DTM will replace the four-door A4 DTM with which Audi has won the DTM title four times since 2004. Referred to internally at Audi Sport Cars as the "R17", the New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept features a unique hybrid construction coupling a carbon monocoque body and a steel cage forming the cockpit.

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

The new upgraded A5 that is will be arriving at dealerships shortly provides the basis for the new DTM car. “In 2012 new Technical Regulations will come into effect in the DTM,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. “We’ve got exactly the right model for that in the A5. We’re convinced that we’ll be able to continue Audi’s success story with it in the DTM.”

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

The company was quiet on specifics, but said the New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept has a high-strength carbon-fiber monocoque with a steel roll cage that is fully-compliant with the latest safety regulations. Ingolstadt’s new touring model is based on the facelifted New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept that was presented earlier this week and it complies with the new technical and safety regulations that will come in effect in the German touring model championship next year.

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

The New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept a high-strength carbon-fiber monocoque combined with a steel tube cage. The racing model adopts the current A4 DTM’s V8 engine with some minor changes and an output or around 460-horses. A six-speed transmission will continue to be used as well. Furthermore, power will be provided by a V8 engine - that is adopted from the A4 DTM - with approximately 460 PS (340 kW / 456 PS).

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

“Our engineers have been involved in bringing up safety in the DTM, which had already been high before, to the highest possible level,” explains Dr. Ullrich. “At Le Mans this year we learned again that our concept of designing safety structures is a very good and appropriate one. This is exactly what we’ve been trying to feed into the DTM’s safety concept together with our colleagues from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. This new principle is an outstanding example of what is possible when employees of three premium manufacturers try to achieve a common aim: to get the best possible, lowest-cost and safest vehicle – and a fantastic car in general – off the ground.”

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

The New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept is 5.01 meters long, 1.95 meters wide, and 1.15 meters low, and is completely made in carbon fiber. It is powered by a V8 engine mated to six-speed transmission, now pneumatically operated using paddle shifters in the steering wheel. The shifting events are more precise compared with conventional manual gearshifts and allow the mileage of the unit to be quadrupled to up to 24,000 kilometers. The whole setup delivers a total of 460 HP. The race car has also received a safety fuel tank with a capacity of 120 liters integrated with the carbon fiber cell of the Audi A5 DTM that allows the current distance of a DTM race to be covered without a refueling stop.

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

However, it’s under the skin that the biggest changes have been made. The new rules have been designed to cut costs (the main reason that BMW has re-joined the series) but also to make the cars even safer. Which means a carbonfibre monocoque (with an integrated fuel tank) and steel roll cage, together with sidewalls made of a carbon, Zylon and Rohacell hybrid, as the new DTM racers now have to be able to withstand a static load that is four times higher than before. And rather than just the front and rear crash elements of each DTM car being individually crash-tested, the whole vehicle is now fired against a wall to make sure the entire structure is up to scratch.

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

Given the rules of DTM racers, which all have to sport certain identical features such as the 2,750 mm (108 inches) wheelbase, Audi was able to lower costs on the New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept development by up to 40 percent. The model will be homologated for March 1st and will compete in the 2012 DTM series against German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz

New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept

While the renderings show a pre-facelift model, Audi says the production vehicle will closely resemble the 2012 A5 Coupe which is slated to go on sale later this year. Audi has shared a trio of renderings of the New Audi A5 DTM Concept Audi Sport Cars Concept but we’ll get the chance to see the real thing at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

Jahong Hur who has founded the company has put his caliber in the designing of the newly developed super car. In the process of doing so, he proved that if someone wants something badly enough, it is always possible to realize that. Thanks to a wealthy Korean businessman, Canada's Multimatic Inc. is now in the business of building exotic sports cars.

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

The newest and the only super car from Canada is heading fast towards its production line. Beauty in the eye of......Canadians. This is a completely homespun supercar that we can be proud of. Early indications point to a vehicle that will be every bit a match for the world's best supercars. It is an attempt to disturb the calm of minds of the big three and smaller sports car manufacturers present in North America and abroad.

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

Mr Johang Hur loves cars and wanted transportation evocative of the Le Mans cars of the '60s but suitable for street driving. For the creation he went to Ontario's Multimatic, responsible for no less than building the Mustang Boss 302R for Ford Racing and the Canadian homologation of the Ford GT. They also build the carbon-fiber monocoque passenger cell for the Aston Martin One-77.

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

Canada is not exactly a mecca for exotic car creation. We're known more for our Corollas than Europe's Paganis, Bugattis and Koenigseggs. That is, until recently: First came Quebec's Pléthore LC-750 and now, almost out of the blue, the De Macross GT1, the first super sports car from upstart, Vancouver-based automaker De Macross Motors Corporation (DMMC).

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

Working closely with Multimatic Engineering, a motorsports engineering firm that has worked with the likes of Shelby Automotive and Aston Martin in the past, The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar has created a new mid-engine supercar platform composed of an aluminum monocoque tub structure, with integrated front and rear sub-frame modules for suspension, steering, engine and driveline mounting.

The platform also combines plenty of carbon fiber and has been structurally optimized to provide a stiff and stable platform at the lowest possible weight, while meeting global safety standards. Installed within this structure is an independently adjustable push-rod suspension system similar to that used in F1. There is also a hydraulic anti-roll device similar to that used by the new McLaren MP4-12C supercar.

 The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

Unveiled to the world early this year at the Multimatic headquarters outside of Toronto, the GT1 is no fly-by-night prototype, but a production-ready machine that hits all of the high notes expected of a hand-built, rear-drive super car: aluminum and carbon-fibre construction, power comes from the aforementioned Roush 5.4-liter V8 connected to a six-speed manual, a top-speed near 350 km/h and of course, a million-dollar price tag. The goal is to produce more than 800 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque, enough they think to propel the car to 62 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds.

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

The Multimatic team is heading to Florida in March to begin fine-tuning the car's dynamics on-track, but will return to the True North, Strong and Free once the snow disappears. The company has a long-term relationship with Calabogie Motorsports Park west of Ottawa as a location for homegrown vehicle development work.

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar

The Exotic Sports Cars De Macross GT1, Canada's Supercar will likely begin sales of the GT1 towards the middle of this year through what Wang describes as a "one-on-one type of sales and delivery process you'd expect from this caliber of car." The on-sale date will coincide with a world tour to introduce the globe to Canada's newest super car.

Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels

Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels

By using only three wheels and achieving motorcycle classification, the Energya has two wheels in the front and one at the back that makes it very balanced. The half-doors provide access to the cockpit and also provide side-impact protection, the design team can do away with heavy and unwanted mandatory car design features in pursuit of the project's lofty performance targets: 0-100kmh in less than four seconds and lateral acceleration in excess of 1 G.

Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels

Designers from The Creative Unit have spent time working, Higgins-Aube Inc, a Canadian company has created the Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels vehicle. It is a light vehicle but delivers high performance. Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels vehicle has its engine at the rear and the whole feel is like a racecar. The Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels even looks and feels like a racecar when you drive it. The innovative three-wheeler looks awesome, feels awesome and drives awesome. It even has supportive seats, which are also very similar to racecars. The ENERGYA Hybrids with three wheels is designed to bring racecar levels of ultra-low weight, big power and massive grip to the road that would be impossible if it was registered as a car. As such, it's got a much wider front wheelbase, enclosed seating, roll protection and double the horsepower of the Can-Am roadster.

Energya Sport Cars Hybrids Concept With Three Wheels

The two-seater is expected to weigh as little as 350kg, and pack a 200hp performance motorcycle engine. As Lotus and Caterham have proven, light weight can be as much of a performance consideration as big power - and this puppy will be well under half the weight of the 901kg 2008 Elise, with about 10 horsepower more than the base-model Lotus engine. That's some serious power-to-weight advantage.
