SEMA Show 2007: 1934 Chevy Coupe with 500HP E85 Engine
2007-10-29 17:26:00
1934 Chevy Coupe shows at the 2007 SEMA Show 2007.With a 500-horsepower engine, a channeled body and a chopped top, GM's custom street rod looks right at home on the salt flats of Bonneville. But instead of a traditional gasoline V-8, this '34 Chevy replica rod sports a turbocharged 2.0L Ecotec engine that runs on E85 ethanol. Appropriately, it has been dubbed the FlexFuel Chevy Hot Rod."Since the 1930's, hot rods have embodied American ingenuity, aesthetic flair and the quest for performance," said Bryan Nesbitt, vice-president of General Motors North American Design. "The ethanol Hot Rod is a modern statement that today's hot rodder can address energy concerns about the consumption of petroleum without sacrificing performance or style."The car's low-slung stance and stripped-down essence suggests track cars and speed racers of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Open hood sides reveal the high-powered Ecotec engine, which has been pumped up with the help of GM Performance Parts'...

2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R Ready To Rock 2007 Tokyo Motor Show

As 2007 Tokyo Motor Show coming closer, the 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R is all ready to rock on this year's Tokyo Auto Show. No wonder 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R36) is the most eagerly anticipated car in a generation. And we will keep the step of Nissan's official pulse.The 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R is still a legend before it even enters production. For six years the 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R has been the subject of intense rumors and frenzied speculation.Why is this car followed so closely? Because the Nissan Skyline GT-R R36 is expected to be the ne plus ultra of Japanese performance machinery; and after 30 years of waiting, it's finally America's turn to officially take part in all the fun.I thinks this 2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R must rock the U.S. as the iPhone before.At the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan showed the GT-R Concept as the prospective successor to the R34. By early 2005, modified G35 coupes with Infiniti badges, oversize wheels and tires, big rear wings, hood scoops a...

Volkswagen V-Dub Up! Coming to Tokyo,LA Motor Show 2007

Volkswagen's Up! concept after shown on 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show earlier this week, is coming to the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show and 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show (LA Motor Show ).Martin Winterkorn, head of Volkswagen, admitted the Volkswagen V-Dub Up! was likely to see production in a few years. We like the sound of VW heading back to its rear-engined roots, and look forward to seeing how the company does with it.Winterkorn also says VW will have variations of the platform to show off at both the Tokyo Motor Show 2007 next month and, in November, at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2007. What those might be, he didn't get into. Sedan? Wagon? Convertible? Hybrid? We'll know for sure within just a few weeks.And if that's not enough good news for Up! fans, he also hinted at a possible fourth variation. No date was given for that car's intro, butDetroit Auto Show 2008 in January would be a good guess.Recent Posts of Global Auto/Motor Show:+ 2007 Tokyo Motor Show Cars: Mazda's Rotary Coupe Concep...

2007-09-22 05:44:00
As John Neff of Autoblog.com said that, this Mazda Rotary Coupe Concept will show on the Mazda Stand at 2007's Tokyo Auto Show this October.This Mazda Rotary Coupe concept is based on the trio of concepts that Mazda debuted on the last year's Auto Show Circuit: The Nagare, Ryuga and Kabura Concept.Though no one could tell that whether these Mazda Rotary Coupe Concept images are offical release, but quoting from the auto cars fans of Autoblog.com, we can tell you that at least the head on shot of Mazda Rotary Coupe Concept is a touched up version of a Kabura sketch. Actually, this Mazda Rotary Coupe Concept looks mostly like a Mazda Kabura Concept.Anyway, whether or not these are official Mazda release, we are sure that they are showing a car we like to own. Ever since seeing the Nagare, Ryuga and Senku concepts, we've wondered how those radical concepts might translate into a production car, and we might have our answer in a few weeks.

2007 Frankfurt Show Spy: Audi RS6 Avant
2007-09-19 17:36:00
2007 Frankfurt Auto Show spy shots: Audi ups the power ante by adding a couple of turbos to the S6's 5.2-litre V10 to create the 572bhp RS6.It was no secret that Audi was planning a twin-turbocharged version of its V10 engine for the RS6. But what is surprising is just how much more power the Audi RS6 develops over its obvious German rivals - 572bhp to be exact, some 50-60bhp more than its Mercedes AMG E63 and BMW M5 wagon alternatives.Unlike that pair, the RS6 should be able to use its prodigious grunt more often, even in less than perfect conditions. That's due to the RS6's quattro four-wheel drive drivetrain. So while the AMG Mercedes and BMW M5 Touring drivers wrestle their cars off the line with more smoke and flashing lights than a mobile disco, the RS6 should be on its way to recording its 0-62mph time of 4.6 seconds.Keep that right hand pedal buried to the floor and the RS6 will blast up to 124mph in just 14.9 seconds, its relentless quest for the horizon only halted when...

Frankfurt Motor Show 2007: Limited Lamborghini Reventon Supercar

2007 Frankfurt Motor Show Lamborghini stand spy shot: Limited Lamborghini Reventon Supercar making a premiere debut as the all star of Frankfurt Auto Show 2007.Once you've finished dribbling over the sheer aggressive beauty of the Lamborghini Reventon, you'll want to know more about it. Shedding light on the F22 Raptor fighter jet-inspired supercar, Lamborghini told us it will share the same basic powerplant as the Murcielago LP640, but the 6.5-litre V12 will have 10bhp more, taking it to a massive 641bhp produced at 8,000rpm.Not one to ever slow a car down, Lamborghini has made the car completely out of carbon fibre except the roof and doors, so expect electric straight-line performance helped by Lambo's unaltered e-gear paddle shift transmission.Outright performance though, was never at the top of the agenda. Lamborghini has used the Reventon to test a production process that sees a car go from sketch to showroom much quicker by cutting out the road-testing of full-scale models...
