The 2012 Chevrolet Tru 140S Concept is one of two new concept coupes revealed for 2012 at the North American International Auto Show.

This futuristic looking model is designed to appeal to young car buyers looking for something that they can infuse with their personality.

History Lesson

Although Chevrolet is a name synonymous with some of the best American cars, it should be noted that Louis Chevrolet, the brands namesake, was born in Switzerland. He went on to have a career in motor racing and this led to his involvement with W.C.Grant and the formation of the Chevrolet Motor Car Company, one hundred years ago. He would almost certainly have approved of the stylish design of the Tru 140S as a sports car of the future.

The new generation of concept cars being introduced by General Motors reflects their desire to move with the times. The company listens to the comments and opinions of their customers to strive to meet their visions of the perfect auto to aspire to.

With 40 percent of the car buying public in America being under 30 years of age, the importance of capturing the qualities of style combined with functionality these young drivers require is paramount.

Exterior

The new Chevrolet concepts including the Tru 140S, are the answer to what these young consumers have been asking for. This model which is a sporty 3-door hatchback has all the style of an expensive, luxury sports car without the outrageous price tag.

The ground-breaking concept Tru 140S introduced at the International Auto Show is finished in a matte white color with chrome wheels incorporating all the design features the sports car lover could desire.

The designers of the Tru 140S want this performance concept Chevy to have functional features that you would normally expect in much more expensive autos, such as direct injection. Plus convenience features including space for four passengers, WiFi and smart phone connectivity.

Inspired Interior

The interior of this concept car is still being developed receiving input from potential customers. Overall the 2012 Chevrolet Tru 140S Concept is a Chevy that is being created to give young consumers what they want in terms of design and functionality to enhance their driving experience.

The Mercedes Benz CL600 is one of the best luxury sports cars in the market today. Combining the signature luxury and toughness of the Mercedes Benz product line, this car is also known as one of the quicker luxury cars that you can find today. However, Brabus had other ideas. They used this car as a template for creating arguably the world’s fastest luxury car: the 2012 Brabus Mercedes Benz CL800 Coupe.

Re Tuned

This re-tuned Mercedes Benz made its debut in the 2011 Dubai International Motor Show, and is arguably the best tuner car that appeared in that said show. On the shell, it looks like your typical CL600. But take a closer look, and you are going to see a body kit that is both elegant and aerodynamic at the same time. Then in the interior, you are going to see a high quality interior clad with leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber, befitting of this car’s stature as a luxury sports car.

High Performance

But of course, performance is the name of the game for this car. 21 inch Brabus Monoblock wheels give superior grip for this monster car, and this massive diameter enables this car to house massive disc brakes (16 inches in the front and 15 inches in the rear) to provide superior braking.

These 2 factors are essential, because the tuned version of the CL600’s V12 engine, now equipped with 2 turbos, provides a whopping 800 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque, enabling the 2012 Brabus Mercedes Benz CL800 Coupe to have a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest luxury coupe on the planet today.

The latest incarnation of the Dodge Challenger has proven to be popular to the masses ever since it was released a few years ago. Integrating classic styling with modern equipment, it exemplifies how a 21st century muscle car must be like.

It proved to be quite a hit that Dodge, together with their SRT team, created a limited edition Challenger model that gives a salute to the original Challenger’s storied past. This is the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket.

History

For those who aren’t familiar with the Challenger’s colorful history, the Yellow Jacket is a yellow show car developed by Dodge in 1969 based on the 1970 model of the Challenger.
Equipped with a 426 Hemi and the Scat Pack performance package, it is one of the more memorable special models in the original Dodge Challenger lineup. And with this new Yellow Jacket, Dodge pays salute to this legend.

Performance

Of course, the first thing that you see in this car is the striking “Stinger Yellow” paint, a salute to the original Yellow Jacket. But if you think that only the looks got upgraded for this model, you have another thing coming. The already menacing Hemi engine was upgraded to produce 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque and with improved transmission, brakes, suspension, and aerodynamic parts, this car is certainly a well rounded performer.

The Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 Yellow Jacket did proper justice to the legend of the original Yellow Jacket, and is seemingly bound to create a legend of its own soon. To be produced in limited numbers, this car would be released in early 2012.

Gemballa, one of the world’s best tuners of Porsches, is at it again. They have stolen the thunder at the Top Marques Monaco, which some people say is the world’s most exclusive car show. They did it with their 2 new cars, one based on the Porsche Panamera, the Mistrale, and the other, based on the Porsche Cayenne, the Tornado. Thus, we take a look at the Mistrale.

Styling & Performance

The body of the stock Panamera has been replaced with carbon fiber composites that Gemballa themselves have created and designed. These unique panels impart the Mistrale with a style that is unique from all Panamera’s and a body weight that is significantly dropped. Gemballa then installs 22 inch forged wheels into the Mistrale, which is both lighter and stronger than the stock 20s Porsche equipped when it made its way off the assembly line. 380mm brakes on the rear and 410mm brakes on the front are co-developed with Brembo, ensuring serious stopping power.

Going inside the car, and you will find that its craftsmanship is top notch, to say the least. Wrapped in Alcantara leather, even the smallest details in this car have been well thought of. But if you think this is just all show, just wait until you press on the accelerator. Modifications on the Porsche twin turbo V8 allows it to gain a maximum output of 610 horsepower, guaranteeing some dizzying speeds when provoked.

Gemballa has done it again. With the Gemballa Porsche Panamera Mistrale, they have shown once again their expertise, and they did it on one of the biggest automotive stages in the world at that.
