BMW 6-series Gran Coupe

Whatever your view on the recently coined "four-door coupe" phrase, BMW’s largest take on the concept, the 6-series Gran Coupe, is a stunner. It is a far-better-looking 5-series sedan, terminology be damned. And unlike its rivals from Audi and Mercedes-Benz, the BMW is actually based on a real two-door coupe. (That car itself shares much with a sedan, but we’ll let that slide.) Given how that 6er receives updates for 2015, it should come as no surprise that the Gran Coupe is getting a refresh, too.
As with the 2015 6-series coupe and convertible, the Gran Coupe’s changes will be noticeable only to experts and BMW fanatics. The front fascia inherits a full-width lower-intake design reminiscent of that used on Mercedes-AMG’s latest products, while the kidney grilles lose one vertical slat. BMW has fitted full-LED headlights as standard, and the turn-signal element migrates from the bottom to the top of the lighting units. There are also turn-signal indicators in the door mirrors and a few tweaks to the color, trim, and wheel choices.

The light-refresh theme continues inside. The cabin gets a bit more chrome but no more usable space. The back seat remains tight—make no mistake, the 6-series Gran Coupe is not a viable alternative to a 7-series (or even a 5er) for people-hauling duty.

BMW hasn’t meddled with the 6-series Gran Coupe’s mechanicals. Buyers can once again choose between rear- or xDrive all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic remains the sole transmission option. The entry-level 640i Gran Coupe is powered by a 315-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and gets a new sports exhaust system, while the stronger choice remains the 650i Gran Coupe and its 445-hp twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8.
The 6-series Gran Coupe commands a massive price premium over the 5-series and costs more than the two-door 6-series coupe, but its seductive sheetmetal may justify the outlay. And given how the Gran Coupe makes up nearly half of all 6-series sales, clearly customers agree—even in the face of less-expensive competitors such as the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS. Given how the 6-series Gran Coupe is good business for BMW and even better business for our eyes, it’s easy to see why there are minimal updates for 2015.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Lamborghini has already confirmed that the Sesto Elemento will indeed be headed to the production line, albeit in a very limited run. With such a minute number being produced, anyone would be hard-pressed to get know when Lamborghini is even actively selling it, let alone be able to grab hold of one of those units. The task of purchasing an Elemento got even harder as a high-end dealership in La Jolla, just north of San Diego, confirmed that Lamborghini was already accepting orders for the car and that only three units were headed over to the United States. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be offered at a princely sum and rumors suggest that payment will be taken Reventon-style, which means three equal payments of $300,000 or higher with the remainder being paid at the end of the deal. That kind of price tag will bring its owner a 570 HP V10 engine and a power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per HP. This allows the Sesto Elemento to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a sensational 2...
