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 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...

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....
