DeZir marks the dawn of a series of cars that will be the foundation for the design and style of future cars. It is an expression of the company’s vision—simple, sensuous and warm. It is environmentally-friendly because it is 100% powered by electricity. Its front end exhibits a full-width air-intake and the chrome finish of the diamond contrasts of the grille both honor the Renault logo. The lightness of the interior is inspired from a romantic encounter, thus, a splash of white leather calmed with red lacquered accessories. A dashboard, which uses graphics similar to video games, allows the driver to see the real-time signal of the energy supply.

The lithium-ion battery, located behind the bench seat, provides an upgraded power of 150 hp and a torque of 226 Nm. The body is made from Kevlar®, thus minimizing the weight. A double wishbone arrangement is observed in the suspension, providing a high standard precision in handling. The full underbody fairing and a rear diffuser improve the aerodynamics of DeZir.

The Audi R8 is a showcase of Audi’s technical advancements. Named after Audi’s legendary R8 cars that dominated Le Mans 24 hour endurance races over the past decade, it is a car that is more than capable of holding its own against any sports car out there. And yet, the crowd asked for more. More performance to be exact. In response to this, Audi have come up with the 2011 Audi R8 GT.

The production of a R8 with added power and lessened weight has been in the rumor mill for a while now, and this is the answer for all these rumors. The 2011 Audi R8 GT represents a weight reduction of 220 pounds. This was done by using a thinner glass for the front windshield and lightweight polycarbonate for the rear window. Other weight reducing modifications include the generous use of carbon fiber to parts like the rear bumper, the side blades, and diffusers. A fixed rear wing, and thinner sheet metal added up to create weight loss. In the interior, glass reinforced plastic seats and lightweight carpeting helped this car to save further weight. In addition, the aerodynamics of this car was enhanced. Downforce produced by this car is increased while keeping the stock R8’s excellent drag coefficient of 0.36.

Performance

The engine equipped in this car is the same 5.2 liter V10 engine (essentially the same engine as the Lamborghini Gallardo) equipped in the R8 V10. Some minor modifications and electronic dialing allows it to increase its maximum output to 560 horsepower, while increasing fuel efficiency to 17 miles per gallon. These modifications allow the R8 GT to turn out some huge performance numbers: a zero-to-100 kilometer per hour dash is completed within 3.6 seconds, and a top speed approaching 200 miles per hour. A 6-speed R-tronic transmission transfers the engine’s force into Audi’s Quattro all wheel drive system and is capable of making gear shifts within 0.1 seconds. An adjustable suspension is equipped, endowing this car with better cornering characteristics. 15 inch brakes ensure strong braking performance, and racing tires is even optional for its 19 inch wheels.

Features

Unbelievably though, the R8 GT is still very practical to use on the road despite its stupendous credentials on the track. Unlike most of its competition, its interior is still equipped with creature comforts such as climate control, a premium sound system, power windows, and navigation. The interior remains practically the same with the exception of some sporty touches. A badge that signifies the production of the car (i.e. ___ out of 333) is installed on the aluminum shift lever. And for those that are looking for something extreme, a race package that includes a roll cage, four point seat belts, a fire extinguisher, and an engine kill switch is optional equipment.

With strong competition from the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Mercedes Benz SLS, the Audi R8 GT definitely has stepped up to the challenge. It is a critically acclaimed sports car that is well received by the general public. And to prove its world beating capability, it lapped the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 34 seconds. However, this car is destined to be pretty exclusive. The Audi R8 GT is priced at $196,800. And if that’s not enough, only 333 are to be made.

An agitator refers to an apparatus that stirs up or shakes, disturbing the present condition. The M3 Agitator, based on E92 BMW M3, is yet another innovation by RENM. However, the focus of this creation is to allocate a more linear and practical spread of power from the entire power band, specifically the lower to middle range, with the engine lacking response in standard form. Since power is not the major concern, it is raised to 450PS/331KW/440NM from 420PS/309KW/400NM. The M3 Agitator package allows an improved driving dynamic compared to E9 BMW M3 in which its OEM components restricts a high performance.

Features are added to the tuning program that include ECU re-calibration, carbon fiber air-intake, sports air filters, inconel high-performance exhaust, and adjustable ride height or dampening suspension. The agitator offers an extremely stable and better heat resistance due to its inconel Formula 1 exhaust technology. The rear silencer is also 40% lighter over the production unit, increasing then the performance of the car.

The 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster is a hybrid of its ancestors, the 356 Speedsters, and the current generation of Speedsters. Adopting the classic two-seater, the raked windscreen, the double-bubble hardcover and the flat contour of the hood, together with the superior driving performance of its contemporaries, are the striking features of the 911 Speedster. The new Speedster has a 3.8 liter flat-6 engine that carries an additional 23 hp, totaling to 408 hp. Additional protection gears are included for the safety of the drivers and passengers and these are the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK), Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

Porsche Exclusive, a company enhancer that focuses on the individualization of Porsche cars, initiates the idea of the Speedster hybrid. Because of this, their signature black handmade leather interior plus extensive detailed color patterns are found exclusively in the vehicle. The blue exterior adds to the sporty appearance of the automobile.

The newest automobile from Maserati, the Gran Turismo MC Stradale, is considered to be the fastest, lightest and most powerful among the company’s series of racing cars. Drawing its inspiration from the Trofeo Gran Turismo MC and GT4 motorsport units, the Stradale will be shown at the Paris Auto Show. With a V8 power engine, the two-seater vehicle produces 336 kW or 450 hp. It also helps reduce the consumption of fuel, thus saving more energy and costs. Its top speed reaches more than 186 miles/hour. It also generates less aerodynamic drag to provide a more aerodynamic force downwards.

The 2011 Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale assures that it will take action to cater to the demands of a Gran Turismo. This Stradale will meet the needs of on-road driving and racing into an equilibrium to ensure its usability. It incorporates the lessons from the Maserati’s three racing programs in order to come up with an improve handling and aerodynamics efficiency.
