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.

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

Lamborghini Resonare Concept

The Lamborghini Resonare concept was created by 29-year-old Polish designer Pawel Czyzewski, it took him whole year to complete in exterior and interior details by using the Autodesk 3DS MAX software for modeling and rendering. According to Pawel Czyzewski, the main goal was to create a very futuristic, luxury, provocative and aggressive look, while still keep the Lamborghini style with the body line of the brand. Pawel Czyzewski was born in 1985 and currently resides in Lubin, Poland. He graduated from the University of Maria Curie-Sklodowska in Lublin and is focused on: Automotive Design, Industrial Design, and Interior Design.
