This creative, limo hot rod or hot rod limo, was surprised in California. It can be elsewhere than in town hot rod design?
The concept is interesting and even nice … but if the rain starts?

Citroen introduced the first pictures and information with the new C3 Picasso, a model which will start on the market this year.
Citroen’s new generation of the model C3 and chose to do so in a way particularly May. The French have now presented a new mono-volume based C3, which they called C3 Picasso and you’ll see, exhibited at Auto Salon in Paris in the autumn.
C3 Picasso certainly attracts attention because of design, one very personal - if the right can say. The style adopted by Citroen dealings with the fact that the current generation C3 was preferred in particular women and likely the new model will target mainly the same. However, the car does not look bad at all and promises great practical advantages.
On launching (the beginning of 2009), C3 Picasso will be offered with 2 gas propeller (1.4 liters - 95 HP and 1.6 liters - 120 CP) and a HDi turbo diesel, 1.6 liters, in two versions of power: 90 HP and 110 HP.
In Paris it seems that will be presented and the new generation C3 (the hatchback), which will probably notice about the same design, with the sales to debut at the beginning of next year.

Two graduates from Romanian industrial design, Andrei Avarvarii and Adrian Vasiliu, have presented a project for construction of a sports car BMW Z0 for the next decade working with hydrogen and has zero emissions of CO2, according auto.cz.
Stocks fuels become increasingly smaller, and their prices have risen. Therefore, the two Romanian deemed ideal for their car would be a 1.6 liter engine and 147 kW (200 HP) to work with hydrogen. Internal combustion engine will have zero emissions of CO2, and the model name here Z0.
BMW Z0 having a weight of 450 kg, can reach 100 km / h in less than 4 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of around 220 km / h.
The two designers say that such a car could appear on the market over 10 years, because the development of hydrogen engines for serial production will take much more.
BMW cars for the future
How will the future cars look like? It is a question to which each of us, the passionate cars, we thought many times. Automotive evolve and should be somehow to handle as many constraints: low fuel consumption, to find other sources of energy, constant limiting emissions of pollutants, in proportion to use increasingly higher recyclable materials.
It is clear that these constraints will change the way in which a car show, the way in which a driver feels, the way they go and sensations they cause. And yet, until now at least, we can not make a clear idea about what we drive (or will lead us) in the future. There are electric cars, but they do not seem at all prepared to offer - for now - the same advantages as cars with classic propulsion. There are also hybrid cars, but they do not sell, except in very small quantities and are truly less polluting and more economical only on some markets, due to traffic conditions.
Volkswagen tries to imagine how will show cars over 20 years, from now on; or better say the year 2028 cars. The Germans have created a special website www.volkswagen2028.com, which we propose to imagine us “relationship” that we could have with a car at that time. Volkswagen engineers their pictures interactive car, which “thinks” critical situations, avoids traffic bottlenecks and increases the degree of comfort and accessibility.
Volkswagen Cars in 2028
Special for this site, Volkswagen designers have imagined three concepts, which the German manufacturer associates them with the possible range of Volkswagen models at that time. It is “one”, “ego” and “room”.
“One is a model with a single place, practically, for transport quickly and efficiently,” ego “is like a sports car with two seats, and” room “plays the role of the family car.
I’ll do you? How realistic are these interpretations? There’s too close for the year 2028 also kind of car?
The head of Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo, said the German publication Welt am Sonntag that emissions of polluting machines brand will drop by 40% until 2012, and the cars will be easier and could use and hybrid technologies in the future. “We work in a Ferrari to use alternative sources of energy and will be based on what we do now in Formula 1,” said di Montezemolo. He referred to the KERS system (Kinetic Energy Recycling System), which will be used in Formula 1 in the year. The energy stored by the new technology can be used to improve acceleration or taking the curves.
Montezemolo held to stress that a hybrid Ferrari will not lose anything in the sports specific brand, and the first such hybrid cars will not appear soon for 2015.
To reduce emissions, Italians could choose to go to something smaller engines and more efficient, and the V12 and V8 engines today might be replaced, even partially, V6 engine.
Ferrari thinks hybrid!
It comes against the backdrop of draft EU authorities to limit CO2 emissions of auto manufacturers to levels unthinkable, especially for manufacturers of sports cars which by definition have powerful engines and emissions several times higher than cars of the city. For example, if the most “green” cars on the market of CO2 emissions under 100 g / km, the model Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, the value is approaching 500 g / km.
Two years since the introduction of Murcielago LP640 (Coupe) Versace, Lamborghini and Versace is again joining forces to create a new special edition, this time based on the Murcielago LP640 Roadster.
The new limited edition Murcielago LP640 Roadster VERSACE, which will be made only upon request, provides a color from white exterior with decorative insert known as the Greek Versace. Another distinguishing element of this edition is transparent front engine. At find seats inside white leather embroidered with the same characteristic insert Versace.

Volkswagen introduced a new hybrid technology that we see in a series.
Volkswagen introduced the concept Golf Twin Drive which wants to join the constructors that bet on hybrid propulsion, as a future technology.
The model presented by VW has the advantage that has an electric motor that can be downloaded from an outlet power. The electric power propeller provides a maximum of 82 HP and allows the car to reach a maximum speed of 120 km / h. Autonomy’s Golf Twin Drive is approximately 50 kilometers, only the electric motor. The value is very good, given that most roads in towns (and back from work - for example) do not exceed 50 kilometers, so it can reach the level at which car to go only with electric engine.
To prevent situations in which the engine remain without electric power, and VW has installed a conventional turbodiesel, 2 liters, which provides 122 HP, which automatically enters into operation when the batteries were downloaded, or when there is a need for a power record.

A new set of pictures of California, the CC’s from Ferrari. After Ferrari presented the technical details of the model California, Italians were quite tight with pictures. Fortunately, the Germans from AutoBild have succeeded to take picture of the newest creation of the Italian manufacturer. So we admire California model in a set of pictures made on the street, you can see what it looks like the car with the hardtop up.
California has the first for Ferrari, a retractable hardtop that is fully in just 15 seconds. Basically it is a solution which allows the car to be both coupe and cabriolet.
CC-sized segment was opened for cars “normal” with the model Peugeot 206 CC, and the solution was immediately taken over by more and more builders.
The design of the new California doesn’t shock, but the car looks good and promises excellent performance on the circuit, despite the fact that it is not as rigid as a classic coupe. The aesthetically tubes be noticed by filtering arranged vertically in kind from Lexus IS-F.
The engine, mounted in front is a 4.3 liter V8 of providing 460 CP/7.500 rpm. Ferrari says that the car can accelerate to 100 km / h in less than 4 seconds, and that with a speed boxes with double clutch and 7 steps. Also, in equipping the series listed system and traction control F1-Trac, available on the same 599 GTB Fiorano. All of the standard equipment is part and disc brakes with ceramic and carbon, so braking performance should be excellent.

The super-sport cars market will be enriching with a new model. It comes from Scotland and proposes 800 CP. Although this information is now quite vague, it seems that the Scottish car, produced by Dowdeswell and Hardie and only Falen, will enter in series production. And what production! The Scottish wants to produce only 4 copies, they will probably sell at an exorbitant price to cover the costs of investment and development.
The good part for collectors is that D & H Falen will be … extremely rare.
Scottish car of 800 HP! Vehicle which attracts attention by its very aggressive design (and optical blocks to remember the model Gallardo) has a V10 engine of 5.5 liters located central, company officials announced that he will deliver around 800-HP. Equipment is made almost entirely of carbon fiber, so that the total weight is estimated at 1,000 kg.
The car will most likely be presented at the Auto Salon in Geneva next year.
Italians continue to promote Granturismo model S, GT-inspired Ferrari.
Maserati Granturismo is practically the third model in which Maserati returned in a world of good Europeans super cars. Running starts with the Coupe model (and its versions), but the car was good enough as to attract attention, but without excel. He attracted so much criticism regarding the way and held the way in which the engine potential through the gear box.
Quattroporte is a big name in the history of Maserati and the current generation has been very well received on the market, being seen as a real alternative to luxury Audi A8, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Klasse because offered a single engine (not a the full range limo German) and that came directly from … Ferrari. However the return of Maserati was built on the foundations Ferrari. Technical platforms share a number of components and engines are produced by Ferrari. GranTurismo is a big step forward, first as design, it’s unlikely that Maserati to show ever (real) Ferrari regarding the technical side patterns.
Maserati Granturismo S
The car looks good and drive of the first tests done very well magazine listed it seems that goes well. And GranTurismo S is the tort cherry d: more powerful and more exclusive - priceless when the owner will meet with a “simple” GranTurismo.
Maserati Granturismo S
GranTurismo has a 4.2 liter V8 and the 405 HP, S GranTurismo comes equipped with a V8, but with a cylinder capacity of 4.7 liters and a maximum power of 440 HP.
Furthermore it seems that future customers have Quattroporte reasons joy: italienii will provide Quattroporte and S, May powerful version of limo, equipped with the same 4.7 liter engine and 440 HP on GranTurismo S. In range and will remain Quattroporte model “normal” for the 400 HP I thank fully.

The action aims to clear the maintenance limousine the attention of the public at 5 years from the launch on the market.
