Rolls-Royce started the production of a limited edition version of their Ghost series. Specially designed for its Middle Eastern customers, the version is now publicly known as the 2013 Rolls-Royce One Thousand and One Nights Ghost Collection.

The manufacturer mentioned that this limited edition will be part of a trilogy, two more using related a related theme will be released sometime in 2013.

Specifications

Engine

Rolls-Royce introduced the model in November 2012, it comes with a 6.6 liter V12 with twin turbochargers. At 5250 rpm, the Ghost was capable of generating 563 HP, it also provides 575 lbs-ft of torque, allowing it to hit a top limited speed of 155 mph.

Performance

The electric air-sprung suspension system has been design to absorb road undulations. During poor road conditions, the suspensions are not enough and handling becomes difficult. Due to its weight, road grip gives it a stable feel during long drives. Light steering becomes an issue as the car tends to over steer on light corners.

Exterior

The design has been sprayed with two different shades of brown and hand-painted coach lines. The paintwork also includes the Arabic words “One Thousand and One Nights” on the back of the car. Except the paintwork, no other design modifications have been executed.

Interior

The interior of the car will be available only in white. Very few elements have remained black such as the leather-covered steering wheel and the dashboard. The lower part of the dashboard, the seats and the doors are covered in white leather with chrome elements.

Part of a trilogy, the 2013 Rolls-Royce One Thousand and One Nights Ghost Collection edition will only be available for the Middle East consumers due to its cultural adaptation. At the same time, the production of these models will be limited, similar to other editions such as the white version of the car.

With the release of the 2012 Novitec Rosso Ferrari F12 Berlinetta the Italian automotive manufacturer introduces its next generation of sports cars re-tuned.

The first batch of the F12 Berlinetta has reached their customers with improvements and a more powerful engine than the stock edition. If its power and style you’re looking for, this is a car worth taking a second look at.

Specifications

Engine

The F12 Berlinetta is powered by a 6.3 liter V12 engine producing 763 HP at 8500 RPM that allows it to reach 214 MPH. This performance gain was possible due to a newly calibrated injection and an ignition boost.

The added HP is gained by adjusting the calibrations on the engine, not by changing anything to it. Similar to the California, 458 Italia and the FF model, the Berlinetta uses a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Performance

Ferrari introduced their new high-tech wheels which are now the lightest of its kind in the world. This caused the Berlinetta to behave a bit more agile when compared with the previous model. At the same time, the increased downforce adds more stability at high speeds and under steering is no longer an issue as in early models.

Exterior

The exterior design of this version of the F12 Berlinetta is almost the same as the stock version. Novitec changed the front and back tire size to 21 and respectively 22 inch. Other than the tires, the Novitec version did not receive any visual improvements. The main focus was the improvement of performance and handling.

Interior

The Novitec Rosso’s F12 Berlinetta did not receive any changes in its interior. It comes with the same carbon fiber and leather interior options

At first glance, the 2012 Novitec Rosso Ferrari F12 Berlinetta resembles the 599 series. A few subtle design and performance tweaks allow it to stand out. The new car from the Italian manufacturer and Stuttgart based tuning company Novitec Rosso has given this offering higher horse power output, improved handling an improved reliability during tight corners.

The German tuning company Wheelsandmore has come up with their own re-tuned version of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. The 2012 Wheelsandmore Ferrari F12 Berlinetta has been developed by Wheelsandmore that adds horse power boost and improved handling.

How can you improve on an already awesome sports car? There is adding the extra horsepower and the tweaks necessary to handle that extra horsepower, that’s how.

Specifications

Engine

Wheelsandmore worked on improving the Berlinetta software and adjusted flow optimization elements. The stock V12 engine receives an extra 45 HP with the aid of adjusting the flow. So it goes from 740 horsepower to 785 horsepower. The German tuners also improved the exhaust system that allows the engine to breathe properly. Equipped with a remote control system, the exhaust valves can be regulated by the driver, modifying the volume.

Performance

They have also lowered the Berlinetta by 30 millimeters, thanks to the sports springs upgrade, which increases the downforce on the car, improving road handling while steering at high speeds. The tire upgrades provide better traction and control. To achieve this, Wheelsandmore replaced the stock tires with 21 inch wheels for the front and 22 inch for the back.

Exterior

The F12 Berlinetta version presented by Wheelsandmore does not have visible enhancements other than the black stripe that goes from the front of the car over the hood and to the rear spoiler. Carbon fiber parts are under development and will be released sometime in the future.

The 2012 Wheelsandmore Ferrari F12 Berlinetta focuses on performance and driving dynamics. The final upgrade kit include carbon fiber elements for the body of the car, reducing its weight and enhancing the aerodynamics.

Currently, the tuned version is one-of-a-kind but the German tuners plan to develop upgrade kits for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. All items will be available for custom paint and artwork.

Rolls-Royce is always associated with luxury and high class vehicle designs. The 2012 Rolls-Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II by Ugur Sahin Design, a Dutch design company, aims to resurrect an old concept.

Even if there are no plans for future production of the concept design, Ugur Sahin Design plans to find investors to build one. The original manufacturer of the 77 year old design ordered this re-mastered version as a tribute to the 1935 model.

Engine

Ugur Sahin focused mainly on the exterior look of the car. No details are known about what will be under the hood. However, the size of the car makes easy to guess that a large engine will be required to sustain such a heavy vehicle.

Exterior

Curved lines are apparent throughout the car. The rear preserves the original bold lines while the front hosts the headlights that drop into the fenders. At the same time, the rear fins have been downsized.

Right at the center of the front, the Rolls-Royce frontal grill has been increased giving it the classic look of a 70 year old car.

Interior

It is difficult to anticipate how technology will evolve in the future and what materials will be used. Since the car is still in its conceptual stage and no investor has been announced, the interior details of the Coupe are unknown. The Dutch design company is yet to release details of how the inside of this concept will look like.

The 2012 Rolls-Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II by Ugur Sahin Design will be a one-of-a-kind car. Based on a 1935 model by Jonckheere Works, the concept showcases an adaptation a classic car that was never build to the current design trends.

Even if the project receives the funding it needs, Rolls-Royce has not expressed any kind of intentions to take it to mass production. The concept will remain a collectable for any potential investor.

The 2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport by Bernar Venet is an interpretation of the car by the French artist who is world famous. His conceptual style is on exhibit worldwide. The collaboration is a natural progression, one artiste to another.

Bernar expressed his passion for the supercar by designing a special edition that included detailed artwork for the front and inside of the supercar.

Specifications

Engine

Bernar’s Bugatti Veyron has an 8 liter W16 engine capable of generating 1200 HP with 1106 lbs ft of torque. The top speed has been limited to 255 MPH and it can go from 0 to 62 in just 2.6 seconds with the aid of the quad turbocharger system.

Performance

The Benet Veyron still has the same handling challenges. It can drive in a straight line no problem, but when it comes making the turns and sharp corners, the Bugatti tends to understeer. Due to its size and weight, the car does tents to stick to the road but steering at high speeds needs some improvement.

Exterior

Bernar Venet’s work on the Veyron was limited to a splashy artwork. The front of the car is painted in orange, fading into black. The transition is made of mathematical equations used by the engineering team during the design stage.

Interior

The inside matches the overall chromatic pallet of the exterior. The dashboard is covered with dark brown leather while the seats are lighter in color. On the left and right front doors, Bernar added custom artwork inspired by the same equations used on the exterior.

Despite the fact that the manufacturer only built one, the 2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport by Bernar Venet comes with visually appealing characteristics. Designed by an enthusiast, Bernar used the engineer’s equations to make the artwork. Besides the inside and outside do have visual elements that make it a conversation starter, no other changes have been on this model in terms of its overall specifications.
