BMW S.X

The BMW S.X Concept is a proposal for a premium sports coupe developed by Iulian Bumbu, a graduate of the Transportation Design Course at the Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan. Bumbu's previous designs include the Lamborghini Insectaconcept.
The BMW S.X Concept represents a personal vision of what a next generation luxury sports coupe from BMW could look like. The S.X would be well positioned to take over where the current 6 Series BMW leaves off, and the styling of the S.X should gather more positive responses than the 6 Series does. The dimensions of the S.X Concept dictate that the vehicle would be wider and lower than the current car, with a longer wheelbase but slightly shorter overall length.
The exterior design of the BMW S.X Concept continues the flame-surfacing styling language of all current BMW's, a trend pioneered by BMW's former chief designer Chris Bangle. However whereas some BMW design elements could be described as awkward, the S.X does a good job at maintaining a sense of continuity throughout the bodywork. Some of the more unique styling features are the additional high mount brake lights which are incorporated into the edges of the rear window, and the lateral vents located just behind the front wheels provide a point of origin for the styling lines which break up the otherwise smooth shape of the doors.
Although the designer gave little information regarding the drivetrain as this is merely a styling exercise, the proportions suggests a mid-front engine layout, and like all BMW sports cars RWD.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

The Ferrari Millenio designed by Marko Petrovic (27-year-old Serbian designer), is a two-seater supercar concept that features ultra-light weight design with implemented high tech body materials. Inspired from the Ferrari World Park in Abu Dhabi, it features complex back-and-forth body surfaces, textures and materials. Unique about the Ferrari Millenio concept is its body structure made of Buckypaper, a thin sheet made from compressed carbon nanotubes, which is 10 times lighter and over 500 times stronger than steel. The concept feature two electric motors (one for every axle) which can be recharged via solar panels molded around the bodywork or through a traditional power point socket.

1947 - 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith

SPECIFICATIONS: year: 1947 - 1959 make: Rolls-Royce Model: Wraith Engine: Inline-6 Transmission: 4-Speed Manual Horsepower @ RPM: 135 Displacement: 4880 L The Silver Wraith, launched in 1947, was an evolution of the pre-war Wraith and was offered in the traditional chassis form ready for the fitting of Bespoke coachwork. The 4,257cc overhead-inlet, side-exhaust engine developed before the war was used, as well as a modified coil and wishbone independent front suspension. Hydraulic brakes were used for the first time on a Rolls-Royce with hydraulic brakes. Following their pre-war tradition of manufacturing a rolling-chassis only, Rolls-Royce delivered these cars to be bodied by independent coachbuilders. Some rationalization however was apparent because the sister model Bentley Mark VI incorporated into a 7 inches shorter frame the same major technical components. The Silver Wraith outlived the Mark VI and in fact survived until 1959 having been modernised step by step with vit...
