Aspid GT-21 Invictus

The striking Aspid GT-21 Invictus concept car is a sports coupe designed by Spanish automobile manufacturer Aspid (founded in 2003). The GT-21 is bigger, more powerful and more modernized replacement to Aspid’s Super Sport (Aspid SS) car, a retro-inspired open-wheeled concept unveiled back in 2008. The GT-21 represents the latest attempt in Aspid’s goal to build a super-light car with race-like driving characteristics. It combines BMW power, lightweight components like aerospace-grade aluminum body and unique looks into a driver-oriented platform designed to roll like a real race car.
The Aspid GT-21 semi-open-wheel 2+2 GT is powered by 450-hp 4.4-liter V-8 engine sourced from BMW. Transmission is managed by choice of 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or a 6-speed manual. The most interesting fact about the concept is that it only weighs 990kg (2183 lbs), which equals out to just 2.2kg (4.85 lbs) per horsepower. This allows the Aspid GT-21 to hit from 0-62mph (100km/h) time of under 3 seconds and reach a top speed of around 189mph (305km/h).
GT-21 Invictus production will be limited at 250 models per year to maintain exclusivity, and each model will be hand-made. Buyers will be able to choose from more than 100 options, ensuring a personalized touch. Aspid plans to get production started on both the GT-21 and the Super Sport in 2015.

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...

Lamborghini Estoque

The Lamborghini Estoque (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtoke]) is a concept car built by Lamborghini. Unlike current production Lamborghini cars, which are mid-engine two-seat sports cars, the Estoque is a four-door sedan. The Estoque was introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Estoque is the first front-engine vehicle by Lamborghini since the LM002 utility vehicle. It is described as a "concept for a $230,000 four-door sedan". It currently houses a 5.2 litre V10 engine, although there has been speculation that this could be replaced by a V12, V8, or possibly even a hybrid or turbo-diesel engine, as suggested by Lamborghini's Brand Director, Manfred Fitzgerald. As with other Lamborghinis, the Estoque derives its name from the sport and tradition of bullfighting: An estoque is a type of sword traditionally used by matadors. Speculation regarding production It was reported on 22 March 2009 that production plans for the Lamborghini Estoque were cancelled. Lamborghini ex...
