Aston Martin DBX

The Aston Martin DBX concept is Aston Martin's vision of an all-electric, all-wheel drive vehicle. It was designed to be different from conventional luxury GT cars in terms of both design and technology.
The Aston Martin DBX is not a production-ready vehicle, nor is it a preview of anything the company has in the pipeline. Instead it is a glimpse into just one possible future for Aston Martin.
Unfortunatley, while the DBX might be bold and original, it's also nowhere near as stylish, graceful and desireable as the Aston Martins of a few years ago. It looks a bit fake, tacky and gimicky. It just doesn't have the effortless poise of cars like the DB9 and V8 Vantage. In fact, it's pretty ugly.

Styled at Aston Martin's headquarters in Gaydon, England, by lead designer Marek Reichman, the all-electric DBX concept is capable of accommodating four adults in comfort. Due to the fact it has both front and rear cargo areas it is also surprisingly good at hauling luggage and cargo.
The interior trim features velvet-like Nubuck leather which is contrasted with the concept's hard, hi-tech equipment.
Powering the Aston Martin DBX are four electric motors, one for each wheel. These are powered by lithium sulphur batteries. The concept also features a drive-by-wire electric steering system, carbon ceramic brakes with a regenerative braking system built in, and rear view cameras in place of conventional mirrors.

Lamborghini Diamante

Thomas Granjard's Final year degree project at Coventry University Lamborghini Diamante University project (not developed with Lamborghini) Trailer We're in the year 2023. Oil is getting depleted on our planet. However, mobility will continue to exist, it needs to. Such mobility not only includes boring electric vehicles for the city but also supersportcars with alternative drive systems. Flat, fast, extreme – cars that still set everyone in the mood for mobility without having a bad conscience – such as the eco-friendly Diamante Concept Car. This concept combines exclusivity and extremes in one single supersportcar. The name says it all. The most valuable mineral in the world stands for luxury, but also for naturalness, pureness, hardness and beauty – exactly as the dream car with the white collar. Its extremely flat silhouette is flanked by sharply outlined edges, the curved surface appears to be unpolished, rough, precious. The aerodynamic system uses movable wings to ...

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers. Yet regardless of identical displacement and analogous induction technology, Maserati serves its Ghibli clients with significantly greater quantities of horsepower and torque. In addition to t...

BMS Nehme-Sis

By winning the prestigious Rats Hole show in Daytona, the outlandish Nehme-sis from BMS Choppers has vaulted the Star Motorcycles brand to the top in custom bike building. An amazing thing happened at the Rats Hole show in Daytona Beach, Fla. during last October’s Biketoberfest – a custom Star Motorcycle won the show’s top prize. In doing so, it garnered the first win for a metric chopper in the premier category that’s traditionally ruled by American machines. Even more amazing the machine, named Nehme-sis after its builder, Broward Motorsports and BMS Choppers owner Sam Nehme, was the only metric cruiser ever to compete against American machines in Rats Hole’s prestigious Over 1000cc Super Radical category. “This year was the first time in 38 years they have ever allowed a metric bike to compete in the American class,” Nehme explains. In building Nehme-sis, Nehme literally took the Star Motorcycles tagline to heart. “We build it, you ...
