Lamborghini Insecta

The Lamborghini Insecta concept was created by Iulian Bumbu, a Romanian designer who in 2008 completed the Transportation Design Master Course with Alfa Romeo at the Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD) in Milan.
The Insecta concept, as the name suggests, was partially inspired by the world of insects. In particular the armored casings which protect beetles. Viewed from the top and the rear this organic influence is most apparent. And despite the fact that the common beetle shares little in common with the world of high performance supercars, the inspiration has been successfully translated and integrated into the overall design superbly. The concept manages to be fresh and interesting with angular yet sweeping lines which instantly identify the vehicle as a Lamborghini. The trademark scissor opening doors are an essential Lamborghini feature.
The dimensions of the Insecta concept are similar to that of the Lamborghini Gallardo, with the two sharing an identical overall length of 4300mm (169 inches). However the Insecta is lower and wider than the Gallardo with a slightly longer wheelbase. Powering the Insecta is the same 5.0 litre, V10 engine and drivetrain found in the Gallardo. The glass engine cover which seamlessly blends into the glass roof provides a clear view of the mid-mounted engine.
To help keep the weight down the bodywork of the Lamborghini Insecta is formed from carbon fibre. Some areas are left unpainted like the front air dam, sideskirts and rear valence and show of the bare carbon fibre weave. This feature also provides a nice contrast to the paintwork.
Inside the Lamborghini Insecta concept are a pair of deep bucket seats, a U-shaped sports steering wheel and a high center console which divides the passenger compartment in two.

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...

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, ...
