Lamborghini Concept S

Make: Lamborghini
Model: Concept S
Concept year: 2005
Production year: -
Engine: 5.0 litre V10
The Lamborghini Concept S would be a radical car for any manufacturer, except Lamborghini. Cutting edge extroverted style has long been associated with the Lamborghini badge and the Concept S car is no exception.
Looking like two wingless fighter jets strapped side by side the Concept S is the brain child of Lamborghini's design chief Luc Donckerwolke. The original design was for a single seater however Lamborghini bosses dictated that the driver of a Lamborghini should always have a spectator.
A full size clay model of the concept S was first constructed at the start of 2004 however work on the car was overtaken by the need to get the Lamborghini Murcielago Barchetta and Gallardo Spyder into production.
Early 2005 work resumed on the concept S supercar and the car was unveiled at the Geneva motorshow in march.
The car is based on the Gallardo Spyder chassis with a modified bonnet, engine cover and bumpers. The bonnet features a retractable rear view mirror mounted in between the two cockpits basically stating 'I don't really care what's going on back there, I'm not there".
The Lamborghini Concept S supercar is powered by the Lamborghini 5.0 litre V-10 used in the Lamborghini Gallardo Coupé. However the Concept S car is 75kg lighter and more aerodynamically efficient than the Lamborghini Gallardo so performance figures should be around 4 seconds to 60 and 200 mph flat out.

KTM X-Bow Superlight

The extensive use of bare carbon fibre has kept the weight to a minimum The KTM X-Bow Superlight is one of the variants of the KTM X-Bow model range. As the name suggests the Superlight is the lightest model in the range - but not by much, the base model KTM X-Bow is just 5 kg (11 lbs) heavier. Although the Superlight is a full 40 kg (88 lbs) lighter than the GT4 version. The weight reductions to the KTM X-Bow Superlight have been made possible through the extensive use of carbon fibre. The monocoque structure with integrated crash protection is composed entirely of carbon fibre and left unpainted to show of the carbon fibre weave. The few body panels which are fitted to the X-Bow Superlight are also formed from carbon fibre. Additional weight savings were also achieved through the use of unique light-alloy wheels finished in a dark lacquer. Powering the KTM X-Bow Superlight is the same Audi-sourced 2.0 litre turbocharged engine found in all the X-Bow models. This engine puts out 24...

McLaren 650S Sprint

McLaren’s new 650S model now comes in three flavors, the standard road going 650S, the competition-spec 650S GT3 for serious racers, and now there’s the 650S Sprint which is aimed at track enthusiasts who still want a little bit of comfort. The 650S Sprint also replaces the MP4-12C-based 12C Sprint as McLaren’s track toy for the super-rich. Compared to the road model, the 650S Sprint features increased downforce and better cooling airflow to the 3.8 litre twin-turbocharged V8. It also features a competition-spec fuel tank and quick-fill cap, a larger radiator borrowed from the GT3 car, a new hood with additional cooling ducts for the radiator, front wing louvres for improved airflow, reduced ride height and recalibrated damping and spring rates, 19-inch center-locking race wheels with either Pirelli slicks or wet tires, onboard air jack system, and an upgraded braking system. On the inside the McLaren 650S Sprint features a stripped-out design with a FIA-approved rol...

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...
