Aspid GT-21 Invictus

The striking Aspid GT-21 Invictus concept car is a sports coupe designed by Spanish automobile manufacturer Aspid (founded in 2003). The GT-21 is bigger, more powerful and more modernized replacement to Aspid’s Super Sport (Aspid SS) car, a retro-inspired open-wheeled concept unveiled back in 2008. The GT-21 represents the latest attempt in Aspid’s goal to build a super-light car with race-like driving characteristics. It combines BMW power, lightweight components like aerospace-grade aluminum body and unique looks into a driver-oriented platform designed to roll like a real race car.
The Aspid GT-21 semi-open-wheel 2+2 GT is powered by 450-hp 4.4-liter V-8 engine sourced from BMW. Transmission is managed by choice of 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or a 6-speed manual. The most interesting fact about the concept is that it only weighs 990kg (2183 lbs), which equals out to just 2.2kg (4.85 lbs) per horsepower. This allows the Aspid GT-21 to hit from 0-62mph (100km/h) time of under 3 seconds and reach a top speed of around 189mph (305km/h).
GT-21 Invictus production will be limited at 250 models per year to maintain exclusivity, and each model will be hand-made. Buyers will be able to choose from more than 100 options, ensuring a personalized touch. Aspid plans to get production started on both the GT-21 and the Super Sport in 2015.

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...
