Dagger GT by TranStar

The Dagger GT is an American high-performance supercar currently being developed by TranStar Racing, LLC. It is being designed for the single purpose to be the world’s fastest production car. It’s based on the Corvette Cheetah, a mid-engine concept car that was penned by industrial designer, Ivan Luccion. It’s being developed by former NASA engineers.
The Dagger GT will be sold in 6 different models, 3 race-only (GT-R, GT-LS, GT-D) for breaking speed records and 3 road-legal (GT-S, GT-SS, GT-X) models.
Racing editions of the Dagger GT: ↓
- Dagger GT-R – will feature “Racing” package, with a 2000 hp engine, FIA safety package, dynamic, split rear wing, set up to challenge and establish new lap records at Virginia International Raceway and at Nurburgring, Germany.
- Dagger GT-LS – will be the “Land Speed” package with massive 3000 hp engine, 500 mph rated M/T landspeed tires, 1000 pounds of low front-end ballast, full bellypan with twin Venturi tunnels, land-speed wheel covers, landspeed parachute, backup chute, bonneville rollcage and a range of other options to help the buyers set new landspeed records in excess of 315 mph (507km/h). Options will include landspeed instrumentation and avionics packages, windshield options and other possibilities.
- Dagger GT-D - will be the “Drag” racing package equipped with 3000 hp engine, Goodyear pro stock slicks or DOT ET Drag tires, hydraulic launched double NHRA drag chutes, drag wing, NHRA rollcage, drag racing transaxle, a drag racing rear suspension that will emulate a Pro Stock Dragster and enable 260+ mph in the quarter mile for the fans who love to drag race. The Dagger GT-D should be shooting out for 1.2 seconds in the 0-60 mph (0-100km/h) acceleration, and TranStar also wants to hit 300 mph to set a new IMRA Standing Mile record (almost a 100mph faster than the Bugatti Veyron at 204 mph in the Standing Mile).
Street Legal editions of the Dagger GT: ↓
- Dagger GT-SS - will be the “Super Sport” model, a European street-legal 2000 hp version of the GT-R model. The owner of this edition can specify his/her suspension preference and interior design features.
- Dagger GT-S - will be the “Sport” model, a street-legal 600 to 800 hp version of the GT-R model. The buyer can choose custom suspension preference and interior design features. It will cost about $450,000.
- Dagger GT-LX - will be the “Luxury” model with engine by choice and all the interior luxuries and customization by the owner. This model will have about 300 pounds of insulation and sound-proofing material to give it the feel and sound suppression associated with high-end luxury motorcars. Suspension can be soft, sport or race mode, as preferred by the owner.
The 2000 hp+ editions of the Dagger GT will cost over $1,5 million.
Designs for the Dagger GT have been floating around for about three years now, and the company is still looking for investors on its home page, so we probably not going to see the Dagger go into production any time soon. It is a neighbor American rival with the ongoing luxury Trion Nemesis project  offering similar power of 2000 hp.

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

BMW GINA

The BMW GINA changes the design rulebook concept which features clever use of materials and technology. The GINA acronym stands for 'Geometry In "N" Adaptions'. The 'N' stands for infinite. Quite logical really... While at first glance the BMW GINA appears to be nothing more than a modified and stretched BMW Z4. As soon as the doors are opened it reveals its true nature. Covering the lightweight spaceframe of the BMW GINA are not conventional metal bodypanels, but instead an elastic, rubber-like material is stretched across the structural members and wire frame to form an attractive design which follows BMW's flame surfacing styling philosophy. This elastic material has given BMW's designers more options when designing various moving parts of the GINA concept. The doors for example have no shut line along their front edge as the material just moves with the door. At the rear the electro-hydraulic adjustable spoiler rises and lowers under the skin of
