1000 horses by ton. It gives an idea of the extreme eccentricity of this version announced by the Ariel Atom.

The Ariel Atom is a very light minimalist car because almost without body. With its 300 hp, it is already a toy for the driver who ruffles the hair openly. And indeed the British craftsman still goes farther with the installation of V8 2.4 Russel Savory ( RS) any aluminium showing 500 horses in 10.000 tr / min. Given that the whole weighs hardly more than 500 kg, the report weight power is simply colossal. The transmission appeals to a sequential box to six reports Sadev. We do not still know the performances of this ground-to-ground missile which will arrive during the year, but the version of 300 hp already makes a success of one 0 - 100 in 3 and reaches 100 mph (approximately 161 kph) in 7 s Then with 500 hp, this funny machine should annihilate all which runs on road or almost.

In the show of New York, the Korean builder presented his Genesis Coupé with more than 300 hp under the hood.

Built on base of the berlina Hyundai Genesis revealed in 2007, the coupe takes advantage however of a muscular motorization, just like V6 of 3,8 liters. This last one develops 310 hp in 6000 tr/min and a couple of 356 Nm. Hyundai can so cross 0 to 100 kph in 6 sec and in 240 kph. More wisely, Genesis Coupe will also exist with one 2 liters turbo, in four cylinders, of 223 horses in 6000 tr/min showing hurriedly state-of-the-art 220 kph. This propulsion has a manual box to six reports either automatic in five speeds for the 2.0t and in six speeds for V6.

Hyundai is 4630 mm long, for a footing 2820 mm, 1865 mm wide and 1380 mm high. It puts shoes on wheel rims of 18 or 19 thumbs in five sticks. The driver will have in front of him two big analogical meters to watch his speed and the regime of the engine. The music lovers will appreciate the possibility of connecting their audio reader to the system Infinity. Bucket seats are heating. And the car starts via a button thanks to the key system in pocket.

Genesis Coupe will arrive on the Asian and American markets in 2009. In Europe, a number limited by copies could arrive a little later.

The Japanese builder adapted his Japanese Cube to make an electric motor car which he presented in concept in New York.

Denki, in Japanese, it means “electric”. 1.3 in four cylinders of the original Cubic model was replaced by an electric engine fed by flattened batteries lithium-ion installed under the floor and the seats. To welcome them, the cockpit of the Cube counts only two rows of seats, against three for the model with marketed oil, and the footing was stretched out by 23,9 cms. The concept can roll 160 km before having to reload for 8 hours. Its announced top speed is 120 kph.

Economic solution of development because it is a question of transplanting a mode of electric propulsion on an already existing model. To justify its qualifier of concept, the Cube benefits however from some aesthetic retouch to make show-bus. So, the cockpit was completely rebuilt. Outside, Denki Cube offers itself of new shields, of which a bumper before raising electric flashes of lighting and indicators in star. Rear-view mirrors and hub caps for the wheels of 16 thumbs are also unpublished.

This concept is also there to accustom the public American to the look of this city-dweller who, after Japan, will dash in the assault of the American market in 2009. At least, Nissan settled as objective of throw on the market, before 2015, an electric motor car. For 2010, the builder aspires to produce a thermal power-driven car showing an average consumption from 3 liters to 100 km.

Funny machine presented in New York by Scion, the “young” brand of the group Toyota not distributed to us.

According to the press release follower of the borborygme, this concept Hako Coupé “translated a dynamic global vision of the current youth”. The builder presents this car as “a sports box”. To draw this concept, the division design of Tokyo studied the last tendencies of the American youth and that of Japan. As far as these two cultures, according to Scion, influence mutually. Having said that, this automobile draws the attention with its lively color, its rectangular radiator grill and its curves. We can see it as a mixing of hot-rod American and the model xB of the brand (cousin of the Daihatsu Materia).

In fact, this concept is especially worth seeing by his aesthetic boldness. We also notice lights DEL in front as behind, vertical windscreen, truncated roof and wheels of 18 thumbs. The passenger compartment is a mixture of black and orange with metal touches. Scion also indicates that seats are easy to wash by the use of a cover it urethane and rubber. The central console separating both front seats (orange for the driver, the black for the passenger) can receive numerous objects. It is not moreover the storage spaces which miss. Addressing the young people, the designers chose to be inspired by video games for the dashboard, the control lever of the box and the steering wheel of this 4 places. Moreover, the system of multimedia has two screens because we can download some music, videos and images via Bluetooth there.

It makes no more doubt today that Audi prepares versions on - vitamins of its coupé TT and its supercar R8.

Indeed, the TT-RS - if this name passes through the veto of Porsche, which considers that the ‘ RS ‘ in suffix is reserved for him - is waited with one five cylinders turbocompressé to develop around 350hp. At the same time, R8 will receive V10 of the RS6 to look to him 580 hp But quid the weighty reduction, eternal enemy of the fun? According to the American site Inside Line - generally reliable - Audi considers versions “Sport” for these two models, and we shall remember that from 2005, the previous generation of the TT had received the naming of Quattro Sport, thanks to a light increase of power, but more still thanks to a severe weighty reduction. We can thus hope to see tumbling down in 2010 R8 of 500 hp, and with 100kgs at least further to a massive use of fibers of carbon or the TT and its 300 hp for 1300kgs thus let us hope that Inside Line is right!

Treatment of shock

Opel GT misses character? The version enchanted by Irmscher should fill you with its aggressive style and its V8 of 480 hp.

Considered as its kits body and its preparations on base of Opel, Irmscher wished to mark the occasion for its 40 years. For the occasion, the roadster GT of the firm in Blitz receives a serious cure of testosterone. It threads the sports holding with a spoiler before prominent, a radiator grill with chrome-plated pin, and wheel rims of 19″. But the main attraction is under the hood, which swallows V8 6.0 of 480 hp. The story does not say to us on the other hand if it returned in the shoehorn… From his part, the frame was for the occasion decreased, but no information circulates on a strengthened braking … But be that as it may, this Irsmscher calls back to us the time or the assistants realized crazy mechanical transplantations.

The flying Dutch

The last creation of the brand, C8 Aileron resumes receipts expensive to Spyker with an aeronautical style and an aluminum construction, with this time an extended footing.

Certainly C8 Aileron has airs of déjà vu with regard to the other Spyker. But at a closer look, this version has a footing extended by 10 cms, supposed to offer more stability. This supplementary space also meets itself at the level of doors, to facilitate the accessibility. We also find the style house ampli of details borrowed from the world of the former aviation and a leather surpiqué inside. The wheel rims of 19 thumbs in ten sticks are new on the other hand. From his part, the technique resumes the spirit Spyker, with an aluminum frame and a V8 4.2 of 400 ch of origin Audi implanted in central position. You do not have more than to choose between the manual or automatic boxes, both endowed to six reports. From 199 000 EUROS.
