Jaguar XKX Concept

The XKX Jaguar is a new generation electric concept car, aimed at pushing both performance and power efficiency to a new level, while at the same time tries to keep the glorious design lines of the Jaguar brand. Inspired by the classic 1960’s jaguar e-type, the concept features fresh solutions, a cutting-edge energy feedback, unique new aerodynamics, as well as improved electric power.
The concept was created with combined effort from the Bahrain based Skyrill design studio and the Albanian designer Marin Myftiu in order to create a next generation electric vehicle.
Both from the front and the back if feature tunnel-like air-scoops that allow air to pass through passageways all the way through the car, and reduce overall drag and resistance. That not only means a faster car, but also a more efficient car.
Another innovative development in the car includes layer piezoelectric cells which covers the entire body of Jaguar XKX. These cells when stimulated by the airflow over the vehicle during its movement could produce electricity that can recharge the car’s battery. The technology function as a dynamo, faster the vehicle goes more the electricity is generated.
Reviewing the research statistic that damage side mirrors, is has been the second most highly reported act of car damage, so skyrill developed ‘disappearing’ side mirrors. With a thickness of 1-centimeter, the mirrors fit snugly into a shallow hatch in the doorpiece when the car is parked and unfolding into working position when the vehicle is started.
Despite of all the technological advantages that we see in the car, it is very unlikely that the car will make it to real production in near future, and even if it does then surely the cost of this Jaguar XKX Concept can be seriously high.

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...

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...

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....
