AUTO SHOWS: 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe

Between the basic Carrera and the wild GT2 RS, Porsche presently offers roughly 17 different versions of its legendary 911 sports car in North America. That figure, however, will soon jump to 19, as Porsche's rolling out its new 2011 911 Carrera GTS Coupe and Cabriolet at the 2010 Paris Motor Show later this month.

The 911 Carrera GTS is destined for the top of Porsche's Carrera lineup -- in fact, the new model will reportedly slot into the portfolio between the Carrera S and the hardcore GT3. Porsche rates the GTS-spec direct-injection, 3.8-liter flat-six at 408 horsepower, roughly 23 ponies more than the Carrera S and 27 shy of the GT3. Peak torque remains steady at 310 pound-feet, but it's delivered at 4200 rpm --200 rpm earlier than in the Carrera S -- thanks in part to a revised intake manifold and other engine tweaks.

A six-speed manual transaxle is standard equipment on the 911 Carrera GTS, but Porsche's swanky seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox is optional. Power is put to the ground only through the rear wheels, but when launched properly, a manual-transmission GTS Coupe can sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, shaving roughly a tenth of a second off a Carrera S coupe. Opt for the PDK, and that number falls to 4.0 seconds flat, which is three-tenths of a second below a PDK-equipped Carrera S. GTS Cabriolets perform the same sprint in 4.6 seconds with a manual transmission and 4.4 seconds with the PDK, both representing a 0.1 second improvement over Carrera S Cabriolet models.

The new 911 Carrera GTS isn't quite as wild as the GT3 or the, but it isn't exactly a sleeper, either. To set its latest 911 model apart from other, Porsche sprinkled a few cosmetic revisions into the recipe, including a front fascia, the wide rear fenders (and track) of the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera, darkened tailpipes, and black, center-locking 19-inch RS Spyder aluminum wheels. Special GTS emblems on both doors and the rear decklid also command attention, but as is the case on any Porsche product, buyers can have said emblems deleted.

Look for the new 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS to make its world premiere in Paris, and arrive stateside in early 2011. According to a press release issued by Porsche's North American wing, the GTS coupe should sticker at $104,050, including a $950 destination fee, while the Cabriolet will command $113,850.

Lamborghini Bike Inspired by Countach and Osmos Wheel

After seeing a  Ferrari bike, everything seems possible now, so a Lamborghini motorcycle is not something too incredible to envision. Flavio Adriani is the designer of the vehicle and we know that the idea was derived from Marcello Gandini, Bertone’s chief designer.

This Lamborghini bike is based on the Countach model and the Osmos wheel and we could say that this is rather a chopper than a regular motorcycle. The riding position is kind of weird though, since the person on the bike would be very far back, practically on the back wheel and barely reaching out to the handle.
Nice aerodynamic element beneath the bike’s fork, I’ll give you that much! It’s so sharp, it looks piercing…

Lamborghini X Concept Supercar, What Reventon Could Have Been…

(12 votes, average: 4.33 out of 5)

Emil Baddal didn’t seem to like the Lamborghini Reventon supercar, so the talent Iranian artist created his own view of the vehicle, known as the Lamborghini X Concept. Who needs a complicated branding for such a beautiful concept car?

The front of the supercar looks great, but I have to say that Lamborghini X is a tad bulky and its wheels are far too big to be practical. Also, the concept is square-ish and it lacks the sensuality and curves that were present (although a little bit) on the latest Lamborghini models.
Since Lambos are usually associated with bulls, I’d have to compare the X with a shark, simply by having a look at its front side. How many horse power would one hide under this beast’s carbon fibre chassis? Would this defeat a Veyron? How about a GTR?

IAB Comment: Is this a new path taken by Lamborghini to compensate for the ‘Global Warming’ caused by its cars?

Fastest Lambo now in India; all yours for 3.6 crore rupees!

Exclusive Motors, the sole retailer of Lamborghini cars in India has launched the insanely powerful & the fastest Lambo to ever go into production – the Murcielago LP670-4 SV (Super Veloce) in the Indian market.
The car is powered by a 6.5 litre V12 engine that churns out 658 rampageous Italian horses. The SV comes equipped with a 6-speed sequential, automated manual transmission E-gear, which uses electro-hydraulics to shift gear extremely quickly. It does a 0-100 in a breathtaking 3.2 seconds & can touch speeds of 342 km/h.
The car gets a lot of carbon fiber kit which makes it 34 kg lighter than the standard Murcielago at 1565 kg. The car gets a new chassis, transmission & new interiors as well over the standard Murcielago. The car has a construction similar to that of a race car & the transmission tunnel on this one is also made up of carbon fiber. There is a choice of two aerodynamic setups featuring either a small or large rear spoiler.
On the inside too there is oodles of carbon fiber with the bucket seats made out of them & lined with alcantara micro fiber. The Murci has a double wishbone suspension & spring struts, two on each of the rear wheels & one each on the front wheels. It gets 245 section rubber in the front & 335 at the rear on the 18 inch alloy wheels. It also has carbon ceramic brakes & a race prepped ABS.
The car is priced at a cool 3.6 crore rupees ex-showroom Delhi. It is available in eight color options but the tastiest of the lot has to be the trademark Lambo i.e Yellow!

Ferrari in Lamborghini edition...

 Take a very close look at this car , because you’ll probably not see anything like this very soon! It looks like a cross breed between a Lamborghini Reventon and a Ferrari Enzo ! The bad bit is that it is not as good looking as any of them.

Named Predator Xtreme, it divides amazing creative design elements from several cars: Enzo front type, and seats in the headlights like Lamborghini, the arrangement of seats as McLaren F1 and even stop lights from the Infiniti G35. Besides the final result is horrible, quality of construction is not as good as you can infer from the pictures.

The interiors seem to be put together with low quality components and just look at the aftermarket stereo which is out of place. The guy would have spent as much money in making this car as Lamborghini/Ferrari spend on designing their wheel rims! Anyways share your views

lamborghi reventon roadster

A roadster version of the vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Cars UK reported the production of 9 Lamborghini Reventón Roadsters, with a MSRP of €1,200,000. The car would use the engine from the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Autocar has since published a report, in July 2009, saying that potential buyers have been shown the car - although a Lamborghini spokesman told the publication that reports of the car were "just speculation". Production was set for a run of 20 units, with a MSRP of €1,100,000.

The Reventón's engine was a slightly tuned version of the Murciélago LP640's 6.5 L V-12, rated at 640 hp (480 kW).^[1][6] According to the official release, the Reventón accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the same time as the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 (3.4 seconds), and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of over 340 km/h (210 mph).^[2] Using the internal speedometer, the recorded top speed was displayed as 356 km/h (221 mph).^[15][16]

lamborghi marcielago

 

The Murciélago is a four-wheel drive, mid-engined sports car. Its coupé body is especially low-slung, with its roof rising to just under four feet above the ground. The supercar features scissor doors, which contribute to its exotic image. First-generation Murciélagos, produced between 2001 and 2006, were powered by a 6.2-litre V12 which traces its roots back to the company's beginnings in the 1960s. The rear differential is integrated into the engine unit, and the four-wheel drive features a central viscous coupler. Power was sent to the wheels through a six-speed manual. The Murciélago possesses an independent double-wishbone suspension design, and features a combination of carbon-fiber and steel bodywork. The rear spoiler and the air scoops integrated into the car's shoulders are electromechanically activated, and fold out from the body at high speeds to aid aerodynamic performance and provide additional engine cooling, respectively.

Lamborghini gallardo

   It is a limited (250 units) version named after Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni. The engine was rated at 550 PS (405 kW; 542 hp). The vehicle had dry weight of 1,380 kg (3,000 lb). Unlike the contemporary line-up, this model is rear wheel drive (because the standard all-wheel drive system was removed).
The CORSA ESP setting allows greater drift angles over regular models.
Other features include re-calibrated optional e-gear transmission, redeveloped 45% limited slip differential, full leather black upholstery with white colour strips, Polar white centre console, a stripe down the centre of the car, and a badge below the left side window bears the signature of Valentino Balboni and the production number of the car.
The Lamborghini LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni can reach a top speed of 199 mph and reach 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.^[27]
The vehicle has MSRP of €162000 (Europe), £137900 (UK), $219800 (US).^[28]
In 2009, the car was voted Top Gear's car of the year; Richard Hammond explained: "We were impressed with its stripe, its V10 engine, its rear wheel drive, the savagery of its exhaust, and its, er, stripe."
