2011 Hamann Hawk Mercedes Benz SLS AMG

Are you ready for one of the fastest vehicles of the year? It is the 2011 Hamann Hawk Mercedes Benz SLS AMG – hugging the asphalt at 320km/h. Under the hood is an amazing 6.2 liter V8 engine. If the design of this explosive vehicle will not amaze you, better get around it to see the following:

• side skirts for added height reduction
• 21 inch wheels
• Leather with ultra suede interiors

That is just on the outside but wait when you look inside. There are new improvements to the Hamann Hawk SLS. For starters, power up with its torque at 502 lb-ft @ 4850 rpm. This is such a powerful vehicle topped with a top maximum speed of 190 mph. No matter how fast a car can go, it all depends on the horsepower it can kick in. The SLS can achieve 3.6 seconds from 0-62 mph.

Exhaust mechanisms allow air to pass through the entire vehicle thus allowing it to increase its torque. The SLS has now the improved high performance exhaust system that is made in titanium. The hood scoop is nowhere to see found but a larger air inlet is set up.

2011 Weismann Spyder Design Study

The 2011 Weismann Spyder Design Study was unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Sports Show, showing off a classic design combined with state-of-the-art technology that is typical of Weismann sports cars. The convertible sports machine features the best qualities of the manufacturer’s early designs, incorporating many years of sports car building experience with current trends as perceived by the Weismann brothers.

The Spyder can reach a speed of 100 kph (62 mph) from rest in no more than 4 seconds and can reach a top speed of 290 kph (180 mph). Weighing less than 1000 kg (2205 lbs), it is ultra-light weight, yet very powerful. The 4 liter V8 engine can produce energy relay output of 420 hp.
Touted to be the most extreme Weismann-built car ever in terms of design innovation, the 2-seater purist Spyder model is designed without doors or window screens. Like all other Weismann cars that are individually manufactured since 1988, the Spyder is manually crafted and carefully assembled by hand – every piece, every detail.

Each Weismann car is unique and like no other because each one is specifically designed depending on the customers’ personal preferences. This is why each car provides a unique driving experience for the owner.

2011 Saab PhoeniX Concept

The 2011 Saab PhoeniX Concept is considered as Saab Motor’s most economically efficient car today. Initially derived from innovative architectural designs, the PhoeniX is noted for its “Aeromotional” feature: A visual hint of aerodynamic designs popularized by Saab Motors since its launch of the “UrSaab” edition. Jason Castriota of Saab Motors praised the car’s aeromotional concept, fluidity, and power.

The PhoeniX’s aeromotional design was inspired from the company’s early release of other UrSaab models. A team of aircraft engineers designed the first batch of UrSaab cars using aeromotional designs. The car’s rare-side window frames have a darker screen appearance while the “central body wing” corner is designed with minimal LED headlamps that highlight the interior part’s visibility.

The signature Saab Three-pointed Grille” is located on the PhoeniX’s front grille. The car’s “butterfly-like” door handles is essential in providing easy access into the “low-slung cabin” cab. The PhoeniX has a customized “Winglets” feature which allows the car to enable air to circulate into the car. The car’s engine is supported by the “Saab eXWD System”. This is said to determine the average housing of generators powered by battery packs. The car’s battery charges are done by “Regenerative Braking”.

2011 Koenigsegg Agera

The 2011 Koenigsegg Agera was launched in celebration of the car manufacturer’s 15 years of existence.

It is expected to be the best-ever performing Koenigsegg car ever, both on the road and on the tracks although still bearing fresh traces of the original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC which was crafted 15 years earlier.

Koenigsegg believes that only the tires should be between the car and the road, that super cars are no better than the tires they use. For many years Koenigsegg has been collaborating with Michelin in the area of tire development. The latest creation stays true to that philosophy and is setting new standards in overall performance, both in wet and dry handling.

The car’s excellent balance comes from the fact that the front of the car is as wide as its rear. Because of the balanced corners, body roll is minimized. Agera also boasts of the latest in braking technology with the introduction of an ABS system in their models. The result is incredible braking performance in all track and road conditions.

On regular petrol, the twin-turbo engine, featuring optimized breathing, can generate an output of 910 hp. This sports car has a lot of other advanced features that make it unique in its own class.
