Hennessey Venom GT2

Hennessey Performance have just released a number of renderings which show the latest iteration of the their Lotus Elise based supercar. The original Venom GT from 2010 showed just what was possible given a decent donor car, an twin-turbocharged LS9 V8, and lots and lots of clever engineering. With the Venom GT2 Hennessey have raised their own, already stratospheric, performance bar, considerably, and also made a few alterations to the car’s exterior design.
The Hennessey Venom GT2 is powered by a 7.0 litre twin-turbocharged V8 which produces a mind-blowing 1,500 + horsepower. In addition a seven-speed paddle-shift transmission appears in the options list. Hennessey are keeping any additional details to themselves for the time being. Further information is expected later next year.

As well as the modifications to the drivetrain, Hennessey have also toyed with the Venom GT2’s aerodynamics. The prominent double-bubble roof not only looks good, but it also helps accommodate tall drivers. At the front there’s been some changes to the bumper, and a new set of LED headlights make the car look far less like the Lotus on which it’s based. Fancy dihedral-opening doors round out the updates for the 2013 car.
UPDATE: Hennessey have just revealed that the Venom GT2 is NOT a replacement for the Venom GT. Both cars will be sold alongside each other. The price for the 2014 Venom GT2 is a cool $1.25 million. The seven-speed transmission adds an unbelievable $165,000 to that number!

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

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.

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
