While details are limited, the combined output is expected to be more than 350 bhp and 800 Nm of torque.

With its four wheel chassis, Renault Twizy ZE Concept offers the driver and passenger – seated one behind the other – an all-electric means of transport which produces no CO2 emissions.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Renault Twizy ZE Concept is compact, nimble and practical – everything you need in city traffic.<br /><br /><br /><br />The wraparound bodywork creates a safe, reassuring cocoon which offers first class protection for both the driver and the passenger.<br /><br /><br /><br />Power comes from a 15kW electric motor which develops 70Nm of torque, making it versatile and easy to drive. The acceleration performance of Renault Twizy ZE Concept in urban and suburban traffic is comparable to that of a 125cc motorbike.<br /><br /><br /><br />A VEHICLE FOR BUSY CITY-DWELLERS…<br /><br /><br /><br />Renault Twizy ZE Concept is an all-electric vehicle aimed primarily at busy city dwellers who need to pick their way through the urban jungle. Every day, they juggle work commitments with a busy social life, so efficiency, speed and simplicity are key.<br /><br /><br /><br />The ultra-compact dimensions of Renault Twizy ZE Concept (2.30m in length, and just 1.13m wide) ensure that it is nimble enough for urban use. The four-wheel arrangement, open bodywork and a seat formatwhich puts the driver and passenger behind one another express Renault Twizy ZE Concept's distinctive character.<br /><br /><br /><br />...LOOKING FOR A PRACTICAL AND SAFE MEANS OF TRANSPORT<br /><br /><br /><br />For its occupants, Renault Twizy ZE Concept represents a highly practical solution to the problem of urban mobility. With a turning circle of just three meters and a footprint barely larger than that of a scooter,Renault Twizy ZE Concept is easy to park in town. At the wheel, easy, agile handling ensures that it rarelygets stuck in traffic, while the four wheels and low center of gravity provide excellent stability.<br /><br /><br /><br />Inside, the priority has been to make Renault Twizy ZE Concept easy to drive. Data is easy for the driver to take in, with displays located at eye level at the base of the windscreen, and grouped in honeycomb10 shape clusters which are easy to differentiate. For the passenger, getting into the rear seat is simple:<br /><br /><br /><br />the seatback is attached to the roof of the vehicle, allowing the lower part of the seat to pivot. The rear seat can even be adjusted to suit the passenger's height: the seat cushion can be turned over to become a booster cushion and afford a child better visibility. When the cushion is used as a booster inthis way, it frees up a load volume of 10 liters, as a complement to the initial 50 liters, and in complement to the 3 liters provided by the cubbies on either side of the steering wheel.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><object height="260" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/auwQLcO5H2w&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/auwQLcO5H2w&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="260" width="400"></object></center><br /><br /><br /><br />Renault Twizy ZE Concept provides optimum levels of safety. The bodywork doesn't just protect the occupants from poor weather; it is also far more visible in traffic to other road users and effectivelyconstitutes a safety cell. A deformable structure protects occupants in the event of a frontal impact while lateral reinforcement bars provide protection in the case of an impact from the side. The retention systems include a four-point harness for the front seat and a three-point seatbelt at the rear, plus a driver airbag and two lateral airbags.<br /><br /><br /><br />A NEW ERA OF ALL-ELECTRIC MOBILITY<br /><br /><br /><br />With its futuristic, pearlescent white bodywork, Renault Twizy ZE Concept clearly belongs to a new era of urban mobility. As opposed to a conventional car, the body colour wheel fairings are not spherical but octagonal, and cover the tyres entirely. Along with the pearlescent white and blue hub caps, they form a pleasing, harmonious design in which the wheels can no longer be seen rotating. Instead, the only visible movement is that of the hub caps, so Twizy ZE Concept appears to glide gracefully and silently, along the road.<br /><br /><br /><br />In keeping with this fresh approach to mobility, Twizy ZE Concept offers its occupants a new, simple and reassuring environment. The front and rear ends of Renault Twizy ZE Concept are equipped with a luminous matrix display, the honeycomb-shaped diodes of which allow the driver to interrelate with his or her immediate surroundings. In addition to serving as headlights and rear lights, these diodes can also produce 'smileys' which change expression as a function of the message the driver wishes to communicate.<br /><br /><br /><br />Inside, the cabin is brightly lit thanks to the bodywork's extensive glazed surface. The blue and white colour scheme creates a soothing atmosphere which isolates the passengers from the stress of urban activity. Optimizing the vehicle's range is simple and worry-free, with a poetic touch: remaining range is depicted by a lotus flower on the dashboard, with petals that close progressively as the range decreases.<br /><br /><br /><br />Renault Twizy ZE Concept is powered by a 15kW (20hp) electric motor. This develops 70Nm of torque, and combines comfort with responsive performance at all engine speeds. Twizy ZE Concept can accelerate at a similar rate to a 125cc bike, and pulls away briskly from standstill. With a top speed of 75kph, Renault Twizy ZE Concept will also be in its element in suburban traffic.<br /><br /><br /><br />The energy available onboard Twizy ZE Concept serves just one purpose – mobility. The open chassis calls for neither heating nor climate control, both of which consume a significant amount of energy. This, coupled with the vehicle's low weight (it tips the scales at just 420kg, complete with batteries), contributes directly to Renault Twizy ZE Concept's range which can reach 100km. The lithium-ion batteries for Twizy ZE Concept are located beneath the two seats. They are charged by means of an extendible cable located behind the Renault logo at the front. This cable can be plugged into a 220V 10A or 16A domestic socket, and will fully charge the batteries in just three and a half hours.<br /><br /><br /><br />Renault Twizy ZE Concept is the forerunner of one of the all-electric mobility solutions that Renault will introduce from 2011.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span><p><br /><br />

Now, it's time for video, and Bugatti seems to have released exactly what we're looking for. The looks of the French supercar maker's Galibier concept are nothing if not striking and controversial, but at the level Bugatti's playing at those descriptors are certainly vastly preferable to boring and staid.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUPfoEHs5X3NC7U4hNKhVVMe18dJb_XE2zovLOjtpM2mAHnBQZ8glCgt2f33Pb0ZXZzEnqkIyaojZHUwILvRK5g7lA1qgxju6EzECumAC-UvDWe24Ss9AThUoM6eAmHqfiqD8ciWFkcM/s1600-h/bugatti-galibier-large_3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382369406517363538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUPfoEHs5X3NC7U4hNKhVVMe18dJb_XE2zovLOjtpM2mAHnBQZ8glCgt2f33Pb0ZXZzEnqkIyaojZHUwILvRK5g7lA1qgxju6EzECumAC-UvDWe24Ss9AThUoM6eAmHqfiqD8ciWFkcM/s400/bugatti-galibier-large_3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" /></a><br />Bugatti says the Galibier's unique dark carbon fiber skin shines blue when illuminated, and you can see that effect much better on video than with static images. Pay special attention to the hood, which features twin side-by-side portals to access the front-mounted, ethanol-burning W16 engine.

2010 Mazda3 MPS in Depth - With Video

<center><object height="280" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Grocy7EfPf8"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Grocy7EfPf8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="280" width="400"></embed></object></center><br />The all-new Mazda3 was launched earlier this year with an exciting new design, a stiffer chassis and lively engines that make it one of the world’s sportiest-looking and driving compacts. In fact, it was chosen as the best-looking compact on an AutoBild magazine reader poll of 200,000 Europeans in June. Mazda now expands the Mazda3 line-up with an all-new Mazda Performance Series (MPS) flagship version that is sure to make the hearts of sports car enthusiasts beat faster. It is a unique combination of exhilarating fun and everyday compact car practicality. It inherits an evolved version of the high-performance MZR 2.3-litre DISI petrol from the previous MPS, has a dynamic design based on the new hatchback that’s even more emotional than its predecessor, with a refined driving experience, more comfort, and a long list of new technical features as standard.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />The all-new Mazda3 MPS replaces a flagship model that has been a popular sports car around the world since launch in 2006. In just two years, the first-generation Mazda3 MPS quickly made a name for itself by selling 31,100 units globally, a third of them in the USA. Europe is its second-largest market for sales, with one out of every five Mazda3 MPS finding owners here, a total of 6,300 units. The first-generation’s biggest markets in Europe are the UK and Germany, which account for a third of all sales in Europe, followed by Switzerland and Spain.<br /><br />The new model enters a European C non-premium sports compact segment that grew steadily until 2008, when sales decreased for the first time since 2004 due to the economic downturn at the end of the calendar year. Yet the Mazda3 MPS was very successful between 2007 and 2008, coming from a zero percent market share to take 4.5% of the segment by the end of 2008. This brought new kinds of customers to the brand and helped Mazda solidify its sporty Zoom-Zoom reputation.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVhz37W3ylmo3WIAlJ4tYc3Sxi63-YE437cgdtKXpod4UyPZjfpyJ_nvitGzZa0ljeq5lXnL-V0SbIlSpLh_UinOINFdJfgD8FJQgaDZfQZyjhY8pQT62gqzqOLppTqyEmrvNlheH-KA/s1600-h/497924.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378282177303801602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmVhz37W3ylmo3WIAlJ4tYc3Sxi63-YE437cgdtKXpod4UyPZjfpyJ_nvitGzZa0ljeq5lXnL-V0SbIlSpLh_UinOINFdJfgD8FJQgaDZfQZyjhY8pQT62gqzqOLppTqyEmrvNlheH-KA/s400/497924.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Just a reminder -- the carbon fiber frame also doubles as a feeder for the intake plenums. <span class="fullpost">Ridiculous. Almost as cool: the way the 7.3-liter V12 rockets up its rev range. It's something you simply have to hear to understand. Luckily, we found some video of the reveal party that includes the sound and the fury. After the jump, fast forward to about the 5:00 mark. trust us, you won't believe your ears.

Today comes the video of said run.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><object height="220" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rIXK3vsiLkw&hl=zh_CN&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rIXK3vsiLkw&hl=zh_CN&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="220"></embed></object></center><br />Having just watched the footage, a few things jump to mind. The first being "Yay!" for Gumpert and their Rat Fink-style shifter, rather than, say, a set of (yawn) flapper paddles. The second is: my word, does the Nürburgring look fantastic. Third, right around Metzgesfeld (around 2:30 or so), Gruber starts to leave a tenth of a second here and a tenth of a second there on the tarmac. You can finally hear some squeal from the tires and the veal-fat smoothness he displayed early on gets a bit herky-jerky. Could we have done any better? Absolutely, 100%, no way, no how.

This has turned into the crash heard 'round the world for a few simple reasons.<span class="fullpost"> Make that thirty four reasons, to be exact. That's right Ferrari only made 34 250 Testa Rossas from 1956 to 1961. Actually, let's just make that 21 reasons, as the 250 TR is the preferred version of the car, and only 19 customer cars and 2 racers were built between 1958 and 1959. And while a 1957 250 Testa Rossa just sold this past May for $12,200,000, making it the most expensive car, well, ever -- the 1958 TR that cashed this weekend is "only" worth about $8 million.<br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/250trcrash_29.jpg" width="400"></center><br /><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/17/video-sort-of-multi-million-dollar-ferrari-250-tr-crashing-at/"><br />more detail.</a> ...<br /><br /></span><p>

Unfortunately, the Mitsubishi Evo X Streamside is just a design concept made by a talented Evo enthusiast. While drawing the Mitsubishi Evo X Streamside he tried to keep it's road car feel while giving it a time-attack style. <br /><br /><span class="fullpost"> <br /><br />Olli says the inspiration for the Mitsubishi Evo X Streamside came from the Darth Maul BMW, but speaking from an Evo X owner's point of view I have to say this: I don't want M3 side mirrors on my car and I'm not too found of a CSL trunk lid lip either. The good news is, those two elements are about the only objections we have to Olli's design. Everything else is just stunning. We especially love the center double exhaust and the rear diffuser. The black rims with the red accent is actually something on our "to-do" list.
