The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet:

Imagen
Mercedes plans to raise the roof at the Frankfurt Motor show this year with the drop-top, super-hot S-Class Cabriolet. The german luxury automaker impressed everybody last year with their all-new S-Class limousine, and then they really got our frankfurters roasting when they revealed the S-Class coupe. Now they even managed to get the looker to take its top off for you. This will be the first Mercedes-Benz drop-top four seater S-Class in the lineup since way back in 1971 - just don’t expect it to be as roomy back there as the car’s four-door cousin. The roof will raise or drop in just about 20 seconds at speeds up to 38 mph, and rolls into the trunk where an automatic divider activates to keep everything organized back there.  Beyond an extra set of seats and a disappearing act for a roof, you get a load of fancy features like neckwarmers for those chilly mornings, automatic climate control that will automatically adjust between top-down and top-up, and an array of 12 sens

L'Icona Vulcano en version Titanium à Pebble Beach

Imagen
  Vulcano Le studio de design turinois Icona va revenir sur le devant de la scène à l'occasion du Concours d'Élégance de Pebble Beach où il présentera une version revisitée de sa Supercar Vulcano, modèle cette fois revêtu d'une carrosserie réalisée en Titanium et en fibre de carbone. Présentée pour la première fois en 2013 sous la forme d'un concept, la Supercar Vulcano a été conçue pour promouvoir le savoir-faire de l'entreprise italienne en matière de design. De fait, l'équipe en charge du projet s'était alors contentée d'imaginer un possible mode de propulsion hybride, sans pousser plus avant sa réflexion dans ce domaine. Cette fois, c'est une Icona Vulcano « Titanium » totalement opérationnelle qu'Icona va présenter à Pebble Beach. Propulsée par le bloc V8 de la Corvette C6 Z01, cette nouvelle mouture dispose désormais d'un habitacle fonctionnel et s'est également vue greffée une carrosserie constituée de T

Nissan GTR NIssmo 2016

Imagen
While many believed the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo to be the penultimate update for the current R35 generation, Nissan is determined to further develop Godzilla until a new generation arrives. Nissan’s Chief Creative Officer, Shiro Nakamura, used the past weekend’s Le Mans race to talk about the company’s flagship. While confirming the 2016 update will arrive shortly, Nakamura made it clear the next-generation model is “more than two years away”. The exec talked to Car Advice , being open about the development efforts. Thus, the rumors stating the next GT-R will land in 2016 as a 2017 model now belong in the recycle bin. This means we will probably get a new update next year as a 2017 model, while the all-new GT-R could arrive in late 2017 or early 2018. We mustn’t forget the R35 was introduced in Japan back in 2007, while the rest of the world got it one year after that. The 2016 GT-R details As for what the 2016 GT-R will bring, the executive hinted this won’t be one of t

Saif Alamoudi said he was proud to see the supercars on screen – and would be delighted to lend them for free if director James Wan films a sequel. Three used in the film are on display at Sharjah’s Sahara Centre until Friday. The hit film – the ninth biggest opener of all time on the US box office – was partly shot in Abu Dhabi. The Dhs2 million Lamborghini Aventador and Viper, priced at Dhs700,000 and Mercedes AMG C63 form part of the ‘Roaring Engines Like Never Before’ display.

German Porsche tuner 9ff has revealed their new 9ff GTurbo 1200 based on a Porsche 911 (997) GT3 which has 1,200hp and 1,150Nm of torque making it one of the most powerful Porsches in the world. It only needs 3.3 seconds from naught to 100km/h and goes all way up to a top speed of 403km/h. And it is street legal. It is powered by a 3.8 liter flat-six engine whose displacement has been increased to 3.9 liters. 9ff added a Garrett GT1200R turbocharger with ball bearings and water-cooling. A three-stage boost control is operated via buttons on the steering wheel, selecting from 0.8 bar, 1.2 bar and 1.6 bar hence adjusting the power output from 600 horsepower to a maximum 1200 horsepower.     The GTurbo 1200 uses a 997 GT3 six-speed manual with reinforced gears and strengthened 9ff slip differential. It also has the Automatic Full Throttle System and the 9ff Power Shift. The suspension is similarly matched using an adjustable 9ff / Bilstein suspension system with al
