Ferrari SA Aperta

Only 80 Ferrari SA Aperta's will be built

The Ferrari SA Aperta is a limited edition roadster version of the Ferrari 599. Only 80 examples will be built, and they were all sold to hand picked Ferrari customers before the car was even revealed!

Ferrari chose to build 80 SA Aperta's because this year Ferrari's design studio of choice, Pininfarina, turns 80. The SA name also pays homage to both Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina.

The Ferrari SA Aperta is a stunning roadster which builds on the already sublime proportions of the 599 coupe. The fabric roof which comes with the car isn't designed for regular use - it's basically a last resort if you get caught out in the rain. Ferrari don't even try and pretend it's a practical weatherproof solution.

The Ferrari SA Aperta roadster sits closer to the ground than the standard 599, and it also has a slightly lower windscreen. Overall this gives the car a more slippery aerodynamic profile befitting a high-end roadster. The silver fins built into the rear deck of the car nicely compliment the car's silver colored windscreen surround and side mirrors.

The chassis of the Ferrari 599 SA Aperta has been redesigned to offer comparable stiffness to that of a closed berlinetta and there is a negligible weight difference also, thanks to the engineering work done on the chassis structure.

Powering the Ferrari SA Aperta is the same 670 horsepower, 6.0 litre V12 Ferrari put in the 599 GTO. That means this isn't some special edition poser's convertible - well it might be that too - but it's also a serious performance machine designed to compete with the very best supercars on the planet.

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. Some of the most successful projects of car concepts designs by Pawel Czyzewski include the: Gangloff Bugatti, Ferrari Invisum, Mazda Tamashii, Tricar Invisum, Arrano Invisum, Legarto Invisum and the Invisum among others.

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
