Sport Car Pictures

A private Vehicle is a transport to do any activities. But a vehicle can be tool to fight in racing arena are like car pictures above. Before, they could be ordinary car on street. With a good modification by a car designer, those cars become sport cars that will be ready to come in racing car arena.

Porsche steps up with 2011 Boxster Spyder

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder - Click above for high-res image gallery

"More for Less." It's the call to prayer of every car salesman to ever don a plaid jacket. Guys with sturdy names like Wally and Chuck would stop dead in their tracks and tell Porsche "Pal, this Boxster Spyder thing, you're all upside-down." You see, with the 2011 Boxster Spyder, Porsche has inverted the polarity on "more for less." You pay more but get less.

The Boxster Spyder has a high-performance mission: It's a race car that doesn't need a trailer. Porsche undertook a lightening program that started with a Boxster S and stripped a slew of equipment, lowered the suspension 3/4 of an inch and substituted aluminum for steel where possible in the body. One-hundred seventy-six pounds later, you've got a Boxster Spyder; lighter, lower, sharper. Has it worked for Porsche to go the Lotus route of obsessive weight reduction? Find out after the jump.

 

Modern technology – and Porsche's in particular – is so good that the Boxster Spyder can serve as a day-to-day car, too. Back in the time of the Boxster Spyder's spiritual predecessors, the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder, lumpy, idle-averse camshafts and finicky dual carburetors were the price you paid for performance. Instead of all that ruckus, the 320-horsepower 3.4-liter flat six in the Boxster Spyder is wonderfully flexible, happy to loll along in sixth gear or go roaring off for redline. Maximum horsepower happens at 7,200 rpm, and the full 273 pound-feet of torque punches in at 4,750 rpm. Though the powertrain doesn't feel peaky or high strung, there is a distinct determination that kicks in above 4,000 rpm, the result of the Variocam Plus variable valve-timing and lift system doing its thing. The engine also has the classic Porsche-six snarl that adds to the thrill of running through the gears. Fuel economy turned out to be an entirely reasonable 23 mpg despite a week of redline shifts. Weight reduction doesn't just aid performance.

Numbers freaks will note that the PDK gearbox is the one to have for extracting absolute speed from the Spyder. Equipped with the traditional manual, the run from zero to 60 mph clocks in at 4.9 seconds, while the PDK drops a tenth off that figure. Springing for the Sport Chrono Package Plus shaves the PDK's run to 60 even more, down to 4.6 seconds and costs you $1,320 extra. Fine, it's quicker with PDK, but the joy with which Porsche's traditional six-speed manual transmission operates, finding perfect synergy between road, man and machine, is worth a few tenths. Simply put, a manual-transmission Boxster Spyder on a windy road is revelatory.

Aston Martin One-77 Gets 750 Horses

How fast can fast go? How about with 750 horespower? The Aston Martin One-77 Gets 750 Horses and that’s not a misprint my friends. Aston will produce 77 models at a price of 1.2 million pounds. That comes to 1600 pounds per horse…….

From MotorCrave.com:

Aston Martin announced official output figures for its limited-edition One-77, and the car will get even more horsepower than originally thought. By Aston’s reckoning the One-77’s 750 horses will make it the most powerful naturally aspirated supercar in the world. In terms of torque, the One-77’s 7.3-liter V12 engine provides 553 lb-ft.

It may be the most powerful naturally aspirated car, but Aston’s clearly contrived 220.007 mph time leaves the car about 20 mph short of the McLaren F1 for all-time fastest.

Aston is confident that it will sell all 77 models of the supercar, which carries a retail price over 1.2 million pounds.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept

here are times when you’ve seen so many incredible super cars you just have to wonder “can it get any better’? Well, Lamborghini has an answer to that question and it’s a big “Yes!”. Check out the newly leaked pics from our friends at MotorCrave.com of the Concept Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, which means Sixth Element . I have to say the design level of this piece of art is a GrandSlam!

After yesterday’s leak, we figured Lamborghini would have no choice but to unveil its new concept today, and indeed it has. After dropping the sixth and final teaser, which we won’t waste any more time on, Lamborghini released photos and information on the concept.

The Sesto Elemento, which means Sixth Element, uses a carbon fiber monocoque tub and carbon fiber all over–front end frame, body panels, suspension parts, rims–pretty much everywhere you look. As such, it cuts hundreds of pounds over other Lamborghinis and comes in at a featherweight 2,202 lbs. (or 999 kg if you want to be catchy). The 570-hp 5.2-liter V10 engine has no problem pushing that light, skeletal body to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds on up to around 218 mph.

The car’s distinctive exterior is made with a fashion-out-of-function ethic, and the interior is stripped down to the most basic of basics–essentially an empty carbon tub with controls and padding in key places. Drop down below to see some more pictures and read the full story from Lamborghini’s press release.

New Car 2011 Jaguar XJ Supersport

 

After spending a number of hours flogging the new Jaguar XJ Supersport down some of the best back roads the Monterey Bay area has to offer, we’re convinced there’s some kind of trickery going on. It’s simply unnatural that a car this large can feel so small when it’s hustling down twisty two-lanes.

Don’t believe us? Secure the keys to an XJ Supersport, blindfold your passenger and seat him shotgun, then drive him (with a bit of urgency, mind you) down the nearest stretch of serpentine road.

Let him listen to the V-8 growl from the quad exhaust pipes; let him feel the lateral g-loading the XJ is capable of while remaining surprisingly flat. Pin him against the seatbelts as the XJ’s massive stoppers haul the car down from triple-digit speeds again and again without fail. Then ask him what car he’s in. We guarantee you, he won’t respond with “Jaguar XJ.” He probably won’t even respond with a sedan.

We could barely believe it ourselves. Even with the steering wheel directly in front of us and the XJ’s gargantuan rear seat directly behind, it was difficult to conclude we were piloting a vehicle 206 inches long with a curb weight of 4223 pounds (201.7 inches and 4172 pounds in short-wheelbase form – the XJ Supersport is available in both lengths).

In our defense, the XJ Supersport’s supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 does churn out 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque, providing enough urge to propel the XJ from 0 to 60 mph in a claimed 4.7 seconds. That’s also just enough torque to cause the Grey Poupon bottle on the rear-seat tea tray to fly backwards into your rear passenger’s forehead.

2010 Lamborghini Rev-Air Roadster

You have to check out Bullz-Eye.com’s photo gallery of the 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster with model Brittany Myers! The car is freaking badass and Brittany is smokin’ hot! Here’s a small taste of the write up by Paul Miller and for more photos, see our gallery below.

We love sports cars here at Bullz-Eye.com, and this will be the first installment in an ongoing series of profiles of some of the world’s top exotic cars along with some classic muscle cars. The 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago Reventon Roadster is a special conversion option offered by Rev-Air of West Palm Beach, Florida. By utilizing the modern day 2010 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster, and by supplying it with exact replicas of the limited production Reventon options from Lamborghini, Rev-Air has created a rare masterpiece – a custom Reventon roadster. 

The Murciélago Roadster was introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model. Lambo designers cited the B-2 stealth 2010 Lamborghini Rbomber as their inspiration for the roadster’s revised rear pillars and engine cover, and that inspiration comes across in the photos of this supercar. The hard top coupe version on the limited production Reventon model has never been seen as a roadster, until now.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C XP Beta test cars

Features XP8 and XP10, two XP Beta-phase prototypes, wrapped almost entirely in matt black vinyl.

The XP Beta test cars feature significant technological advancements taking the 12C nearer to production. A revised version of the M838T twin-turbo engine, transmission featuring new gear ratios, a more efficient cooling package, new suspension geometry and upgraded electrical architecture are the headline features of current prototypes.

McLaren Automotive program director, Mark Vinnels, is leading the engineering team and said indicative performance figures generated by the XP Beta cars are expected to be announced in March.

“There is an extensive list of subjective and objective targets set for our prototype vehicles. These XP Beta cars are already achieving outstanding results in many of the subjective areas, which includes ride quality, handling and many other aspects of dynamic performance.

“Between now and production the vehicles and the team are working flat out.  All this is geared towards not just achieving our unprecedented levels of performance but also guaranteeing the levels of quality, reliability and durability with which we expect to delight future McLaren customers.”

McLaren to build new range of sports cars

 

McLaren has announced news of a drastic restructuring over the coming years, including the introduction of a range of new sports cars beginning in 2010.

Ron Dennis will step down from his position as boss of McLaren’s hugely successful F1 team, handing over the reigns to Martin Whitmarsh in order to direct his focus onto McLaren Automotive.

The new venture plans to produce a range of up to three different sports cars, spearheaded by the P11 that is already in testing for release in 2010.

McLaren is reported to be aiming at a production run of 1000 vehicles by 2011, with plans to push out to 4000 vehicles in 2015.

Production of a new plant is yet to be announced, but is expected to create an extra 800 jobs to facilitate McLaren’s major growth plans.

Mr Dennis has aims of doubling the value of McLaren in the next three to five years by expanding beyond its current motorsport interests and delving once more and into car production.

Aided by Credit Suisse, McLaren is looking for a £250million injection of funds and is offering 49 per cent of the automotive arm for sale to prospective investors.

Codenamed P11, McLaren’s next mid-engined road car seems to be aimed at the like of Ferrari’s F430 and Lamborghini’s Gallardo, funnelling much of the company’s race-sourced technology and materials in its production. Expect a lot of carbon-fibre in the new McLarens, including the brakes.

The main contender picked for powering the P11 is a 6.3-litre V8, sourced from its old buddy and business colleague, Mercedes Benz. Power output could push towards 400kW, and could definitely shake up an already competitive sector.

McLaren have a long and illustrious history with fast cars, and if this newly planned batch of road cars is anything like their first, we better hold onto our hats.

BMW luxury cars for modified car projects

The New BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics Edition: Yet Another Step Ahead.

BMW announced today that it will unveil its new BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition at next month’s 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics is the first premium model to output less than 110g/km of CO2. The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics is powered by a 2.0 liter diesel engine that develops 163 hp and 360 Nm of torque while offering a fuel economy of 68.9 mpg. The top speed of the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics is 137 mph and the new model is able to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 8.2 seconds.

The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics price has not been announced yet, but the company says it will go on sale in January 2010.

Teaming up with the BMW 320d, the new BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition is being presented for the first time at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. This unique saloon combines fuel consumption of just 4.1 litres diesel/100 kilometres (equal to 68.9 mpg imp) and a CO2 rating of 109 grams per kilometre in the EU test cycle with engine output of 120 kW/163 hp. 

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine of this high-tech model boasts an all-aluminium crankcase, turbocharging with variable intake geometry and common-rail direct fuel injection complete with piezo-injectors. With the engine and the entire car modified once again for an even higher standard of efficiency, this unique saloon targeted above all at the German, Italian, French and Spanish markets comes with optimised aerodynamics, an extra-long final drive ratio, and an innovative two-mass flywheel incorporating a centrifugal-force pendulum. 

All this makes the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition the most fuel-efficient and lowest-emission car in BMW's current model range. In the fiercely contested midrange segment it is an unparalleled, highly attractive premium offer for the truly demanding and progressive customer focusing primarily on superior economy and the environment, without wishing to forego the sporting driving characteristics so typical of a genuine BMW. 

google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); The enhanced efficiency already offered by the existing models in the BMW 3-Series thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics making these cars superior to their competitors, is now raised to an even higher level in the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition.  Four-cylinder diesel engine with optimised efficiency and superior performance all in one. 

The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition is powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine specifically optimised for even greater fuel economy and emission management and, therefore, for a standard of efficiency never seen before. All this comes from the 2.0-litre four-cylinder power unit with its all-aluminium crankcase, turbocharging and the latest generation of common-rail fuel injection featured with various power stages also in the BMW 316d, the BMW 318d and the BMW 320d. The engine specially conceived for the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition develops maximum output of 120 kW/163 hp at an engine speed of 3,500-4,200 rpm and peak torque of 360 Newton-metres/265 lb-ft all the way from 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. 

The engine stands out in particular through its sporting and dynamic power from low revs. The innovative centrifugal-force pendulum incorporated in the two-mass flywheel, together with the longer transmission ratio, serves to significantly reduce the level of engine speed at all road speeds relevant in practice in the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition. The shift in load points beneficial to fuel economy and emissions goes together in this case with full maintenance of the spontaneity and running smoothness so typical of a BMW diesel. 

Centrifugal pendulum in the two-mass flywheel for smooth and comfortable motoring without vibrations even at very low engine speeds. To ensure smooth driving characteristics free of vibration also when driving at particularly low engine speeds, the power unit of the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition features a so-called centrifugal pendulum efficiently compensating any unsmoothness in running characteristics typically encountered at low revs. This innovative component is integrated in the engine's two-mass flywheel where it dampens the vibrations generated under load, thus ensuring comfortable and acoustically optimised development of power and performance all the way from low engine speeds. 

This increase in motoring comfort will encourage the driver to use a higher gear more often or, respectively, not to shift back as he otherwise would do. But when accelerating the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition still offers the driving behaviour and agility so typical of BMW. 

The driving dynamics characteristic of a BMW are borne out also by the car's acceleration to 100 km/h in just 8.2 seconds and by the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition accelerating in fifth gear from 80-120 km/h in 9.6 seconds. Top speed is 225 km/h or 140 mph. Lower emissions, more driving pleasure: consistently implementing the potential of BMW EfficientDynamics. 

The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition comes with the complete range of technologies serving to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions and already featured as standard on the other models in the BMW 3-Series. Brake Energy Regeneration, for example, serves to concentrate the generation of electric power for the on-board network on overrun and the application of the brakes, thus avoiding even the slightest increase in fuel consumption. The Auto Start Stop function, in turn, switches off the engine even during a short stop in traffic, avoiding any unnecessary consumption of fuel while idling. The gearshift point indicator on the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition, to mention yet a further example, tells the driver in good time when to shift gears in the interest of optimum efficiency. And like the detachable climate compressor, EPS Electronic Power Steering operates only when needed, again in the interest of maximum efficiency. 

The electric motor featured within the EPS system therefore takes up energy only when really needed for power assistance or when required by the driver. Active cooling through air flap control and tyres with reduced roll resistance also serve to enhance the car's efficiency, and the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition is likewise fitted with a diesel particulates filter close to the engine. It almost goes without saying, finally, that the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition fulfils the EU5 emission standard in full. 

The fuel economy and emission management also featured in the other models in the BMW 3-Series are combined in the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition with additional innovations, which, together with the decrease in engine power on the BMW 320d by 10 kW or 14 hp, serve to reduce fuel consumption and emissions to an even lower level, below the CO2 standard of 110 grams per kilometre relevant to taxation in many countries. 

These additional features include a longer final drive ratio and the lower chassis and suspension of the car. Newly developed Aero wheel rims in turbine wheel design - the only optical sign of distinction on the car to be seen from outside - improve the level of aerodynamics to an even higher standard, giving the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition a drag coefficient of just 0.26. 

Within the BMW 3-Series the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition is the so far most consistent implementation of the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy, offering the motorist who really appreciates the premium character and sporting driving qualities of a BMW 3-Series and at the same time attaches utmost significance to superior economy exactly the right choice in the midrange market segment. 

Comparing the efficiency of all models in this segment, BMW, introducing the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition, is once again moving a step ahead of the competition. And following BMW's general policy, the improvement of efficiency offered by this innovative technology does not even require the payment of a higher price for the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition, which therefore comes at the same price as the "regular" BMW 320d, which naturally is still included in BMW's model range.
