Bentley Brooklands

Bentley’s rich coupé heritage provided the stimulus for the design team to create a powerful, muscular and rakish grand touring coupé. Beautiful flowing lines pay tribute to the traditional coach-building skills synonymous with Bentley whilst its design and engineering allow for a contemporary take on tradition.
As the 2007 Brooklands is to be strictly limited in volume, only 550 cars will be produced, the design allows Bentley to introduce unique features that necessitate specialist coach-building techniques. The ‘floating’ rear screen with it’s lower edge sitting well above the upper edge of the boot lid provides a flowing, flawless line to the back of the car. A feature that can only be achieved by individually hand-welding the rear wings to the C-pillars.
Beneath the muscular, coach-built body of the Bentley Brooklands lies the most powerful Crewe-built V8 ever produced, developing 530bhp (395kW) and a maximum torque of an astonishing 774lb ft (1050Nm). Although performance figures are subject to final confirmation, the Brooklands will deliver supercar levels of in-gear acceleration combined with understated refinement.
The interior design of the Bentley Brooklands coupe echoes the sleek profile of the elegant exterior by offering a new, single-piece, hide-trimmed roof lining which flows uninterrupted from the front windscreen to the rear of the car. The pillarless window design and wider front and rear cabin with individual, electronically operated seats in the rear, help to enhance this feeling of comfort and space.

Porsche 913

Forgetting the Panamera, Cayenne and Macan, Porsche offer a pretty well-rounded sports car range. Starting with the Boxster and Cayman, and moving up the multitude of variations of the Porsche 911, all the way up to the 918 Spyder supercar. But there is a HUGE price gap between the top of the range 911 Turbo ($250,000 will all the options ticked), to the 918 Spyder ($800,000). Somewhere in that range Porsche could surely offer something to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Something like the 913 possibly? Conceived by the fertile mind of Rene Garcia, a professional 3D modeller who has created conceptual vehicles and highly detailed models for some of the biggest movies of the past decade, including the Matrix Trilogy, Transformers, the latest Star Trekthrillers and The Avengers, the Porsche 913 is an exquisitely rendered design in every detail. It has a bit of the 918 Spyder about it, but there’s also a lot of originality to the design. It looks like a Porsche, but a

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Back in the late 1990s, when Lamborghini were starting to realise they needed a replacement for the ageing Diablo, they started reviewing design proposals from various automotive design firms. Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes. The engine was also up
