Stagnation means death in any business, which is why automakers are constantly evolving and expanding their lineups. But, while market research and focus groups design some vehicles—witness the BMW 5-series GT—Audi seems to follow a different approach in which intuition plays a bigger role. Cars like the low-slung, beautiful A7 and the R8 need no lengthy explanations
So, i find myself in a constant struggle to come up with something new, playing with shapes and relations. here is one of the models, i think it looks pretty good. the renders are low quality, and as you can see the model lacks any details.
It seems, rather becomes clear, that 1,001hp Bugatti Veyron is not enough for someone who’s overweening ambitions for power and speed. Well, there is no end of freak people in this world who even would ask to ride more than those 2000 mules at 300mph that Dagger GT is the only one to provide in 2011.
B7- flying together in same theme – Aviation. This is a hybrid vehicle designed for the road pilot. It is powered by four brush-less wheel hub motors charged by a LPG V8 engine via Super-capacitors. The car is a two seater, in-line, with pilot and co-pilot just like in a jet fighter.
The B7’s State of the art electronic speed control system manages everything from independent hub-motor drive and ABS braking, to adaptive wing angle adjustment. It is a true drive-by-wire car, with no traditional mechanical drive connections. High tech, light weight, extremely fast and agile – this design pushes the boundaries of on-road vehicle performance, and burns the way for HYBRID TECHNOLOGY.
The tuning Gods that created the DTM touring cars, and a majority of the Porsche GT3 race car, have taken an already fire breathing Audi R8 GT and given it an injection of steroids. ABT-Sportsline is the company behind the automotive bliss you see right before your eyes and the details are better than the pictures… if that’s even possible. For starters the “stock” GT-R hits your wallet for more than $400,000. The hood, front and rear bumpers, the rear wing and trunk have all been replaced with carbon fiber and the rear vented window and side windows are made from lightweight polycarbonate.
Check out these renders from 18-year old designer from Tunisia Khalfi Oussama from Tunisia of what would be a 4×4 BMW concept. He did not provide any info behind the design of the vehicle but feel free to check out the rest of the pictures and have you say in the comments section.
Aston Martin has unveiled a refreshed DB9 for the 2011 model year. Although its been around for seven years now, it hardly looks its age. The front of the DB9 gets a new front bumper with a re-shaped lower intake and a new bright finish grille. Other changes include 20-spoke alloy wheels, clear rear taillights and inside there is an optional Double Apex alloy finish.
Under the hood the DB9 is still powered by the same 470-hp 6.0L V12 engine that can be mated to either a six-speed ‘Touchtronic’ paddle-shift automatic or a six-speed H-pattern manual transmission. It has a top speed of 190 mph and reaches 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds. A new adaptive damping system is now standard as well.
Production of the revised 2011 Aston Martin DB9 has already started and deliveries are expected to start next month.

Dutch NL Architects’ newest bridge is part of their proposal to connect Hong Kong with the mainland of China. The bridge’s dynamic twisted form is a great resolution to the differences in driving styles, namely that in Hong Kong, people drive on the left side of the road and in the mainland China, they drive on the right side.
Shadow HawkWe usually hear about designers working on superyachts and supercars but now, there’s the “super terrain vehicle” or STV. Shadow Hawk describes this 1 million vehicle as a Hummer on steroids.
The Shadow Hawk STV was developed to be both a high performance road machine and a highly versatile off road vehicle with a full complement of armor plating. Only a dozen examples will be built each year of this vehicle, which is only built to order. The vehicle is fully customizable. Buyers may choose from several configurations: Steel Hawk, Street Hawk, Terra Hawk, Desert Hawk, Armor Hawk and Battle Hawk. It features daylight cameras, active suspension, camber and caster control systems, driver activated ride height control, 46-inch wheel travel and 3/16 inch monocoque construction. The Street Hawk is powered by a 1,100 hp engine.
