here’s another concept that surfaced at the Frankfurt Motor Show that looks pretty “real”. the 2013 Mercedes-Benz Concept S-Class Coupe is nothing out of this world in terms of both form – inside and out – and the drivetrain. powered by a 4.7-liter V8 Biturbo unit, it has 455 horsepower (335 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque on the tab. the only thing that it doesn’t have to offer that hints that this in fact is a concept is
we all know the future of automobile is going to be all-out electric, but between now and then, reducing your carbon footprint while still keeping up with your passion for cars would be by the way of plug-in hybrid. hybrid, being a close relative to all-electric vehicle, need not to look tame as proven by the BMW i8 Plug-in Hybrid Coupe.
still feeling nostalgic about the rides of yesteryear, in particular the 80s where Euro-made cars were rattling the dirt playground? well, don’t be cos’ as much as would love to flashback on our love for Lancia Delta, there are much to look forward to like this Audi Sport Quattro Concept. the new Sport Quattro marks the 30th birthday of the Sport Quattro first introduced at the 1983 IAA
there are two types of concept cars: one that you know it will be made; and two, one that doesn’t. the Opel Monza Concept you see here is resigned to being the latter and much like the Volvo Concept Coupe, it will, however, offer an insight into the German automaker’s styling and technology in future.
when it comes brute power, Bentley is certainly not lacking of any, but that never stops the Crewe folks from adding a wee bit more to the new V8-powered Continental GT S. the new S model will be available in both the coupe and convertible form. at the heart of the S models, is the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 powertrain with an extra 21 horses and 20 Nm of torque wrung out.
for a moment we got pretty excited when Volvo’s new Senior Vice President of Design, Thomas Ingeniath referred the Volvo Concept Coupe as not a futuristic dream car. alas, that does not necessary means what you here would come to fruition as is, but rather it points toward the capability of Volvo’s new architecture which will be carried forward to future Volvo cars.
power hungry richie rich rejoice cos’ the most powerful naturally aspirated block on the Prancing Horse marque’s stable has gotten a little more powerful. meet the the Ferrari 458 Speciale and as the name suggests, this ain’t your regular 458 – it is special – starting of with the 4.5-liter V8 petrol unit that’s tweaked to deliver
though branded under Subaru performance arm, Subaru Technica International (STI), the newly announced Subaru BRZ tS Coupe is hardly the STI you might have expected. simply put, it is like the Beemer 3 Series M Sport to the M3, which means expectation of any boost in the power department is virtually zero, instead look forward to the aerodynamic and handling improvements
as far as hard specs are concerned, little is known about this “Aurum Dust” colored BMW Concept M4 Coupe – which means there’s no information of what goes under the hood or whatsoever. the wrap was taken off this striking concept on August 15 at the BMW opening media reception for the iconic annual Pebble Beach/Monterey automobile weekend.
this is a car you are not destined to own, but it is a car that you might have a shot at driving it once. such is what the German automaker is offering with a competition on its Facebook fan page. as for the car, it will be the “fan-sourced” Porsche based on the 911 Carrera 4S. “fan-sourced” meaning 54,000 social media users
i know what you are thinking. didn’t we saw this featured here sometime late last year? yes, you are right but the BMW i3 Electric Car was then a concept, and now it is officially an electric car that you purchase this November if you have €39,450 to spare ($41,350 in the US).
