Peugeot Onyx Concept

Unveiled for the first time in the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Peugeot Onyx 2-seater features supercar performance, with improved fuel economy and additional safety features. It has a unique sculpted aerodynamic shape, styled with innovative materials and architecture that stands out from most of the current production of Peugeot.
The exterior design features a unique mix of materials, with the bold sophisticated contrast between the polished copper metal panels and the matte black carbon fiber surfaces, which gives the Onyx a unique exterior appearance. The copper parts do not have additional surface protection, they are intended to age and change their appearance with time similarly to architectural elements.
The interior is minimalist design and further develops the exploration of alternative materials, all the soft surfaces – including the four seats – are made of felt (made from boiled wool), with interwoven fibers. The material is completely recyclable and has good thermal isolation and dehumidifying properties (improving the overall air quality). The hard surfaces of the dashboard, door panels and center tunnels are made with the “Newspaper Wood”, a material produced from used newspapers, assembled and compressed to create the illusion of wood traces through the print type.
Inspired by racing cars, the Onyx is equipped with 600 horsepower mid-mounted V8 HDi FAP 3.7-liter Hybrid engine combined with a KERS (kinetic energy recovery system), which channels braking energy into lithium ion batteries and then automatically discharges the power on acceleration, boosting the output by an additional 80 horsepower.
Overall, the Peugeot Onyx model is 4.65m long, 2.2m wide and just 1.13m high with only 1,100kg weight. With a line like this the drag coefficient is equal to 0.30. Accelerating form 0-100km/h in 2.9s.
The price of Peugeot Onyx is £1,000,000 ($1,678,000).

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...

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...

Peugeot RC

The RC concept was designed at the Peugeot Style Centre. Intended as a true enthusiasts car, the real innovation lay in the fact that the car was designed as an "affordable" sports car. The Peugeot RC was the concept car that paved the way for the 2008 Peugeot RC HYmotion4 concept. Peugeot used the 2002 RC concept to compare performance and economy differences between comparable petrol and diesel engines. As an affordable sports car the RC had to deliver not only in terms of price, but there was the engine, the size and running costs, as well as driver comforts to consider. A wide panoramic windscreen and the cab forward seating helps the driver see all around the car and compensates for the effect caused by the length of the car. In the Petrol vs. Diesel experiment, Peugeot aimed to prove that an HDi engine could match the performance levels achieved from a petrol engine. And to demonstrate that it was not unreasonable to put an HDi engine in a sports car. The 2 resulti...
