Ford will release new supercar 2010 - Ford Shelby GT500
2009-01-02 10:33:00 Ford says its Special Vehicle Team (SVT) division carried over the gains made with the special edition Shelby GT500KR to the more widely produced Shelby model. The new GT500 also gains the GT500KR’s whopping 510 pound-feet of torque.Compare with the old GT500, this new supercar model gets more aggressive styling, particularly in the nose. The horizontally mirrored trapezoidal shape of the grille in the upper and lower front fascia is meant to echo the oval shape of the Shelby Cobras of the '60s. The upper grille is tilted forward at a steeper angle than the GT and the grille surround is separated entirely from the hood. The hood of the GT500 still has a functional air extractor allowing some of the massive heat generated by the blown V8 to escape.The engine for the new Shelby is still a twin cam 5.4L V8 with a supercharger. The updates bump output from from 500 hp at 6,000 rpm to 540 hp at 6,200 rpm. Twisting force also goes from 480 lb-ft at 4,500 rpm to 510 lb-ft at the same pe...

Veno Supercar
2008-09-22 16:21:00 Apparently, dreaming up a new design for a rarefied vehicle is too difficult for Veno Automotive, a Polish spinoff of UK-based Heros Capital Ltd. Rather than relying on design experts, with their fancy degrees and engineering knowledge, the company cribbed the Lamborghini Reventon so closely that we predict flying lawsuits. Veno?s car not only looks like a Lamborghini, the company claims it will perform like one, too. Underpinning the bodywork is supposedly a chassis that can make use of more than 1,000 horsepower. Coupe or convertible flavors are planned, with a low yearly volume of about 15. Carbon fiber will make up the bodywork, carbon-ceramic brakes are part of the package and there?s an array of tech like night vision and an on-board computer with internet access. Power will initially come from Audi?s 4.2 liter V8 in various levels of tune, and the company suggests that it will be able to wrest some LS9s from General Motors, a claim that?s as plausible as space aliens at the W...

2008 Beijing Auto Show: Spirra S Supercar of Oullim Motors

The Spirra S will roll of the line in Korea next month and production for this year will number 100 cars for Korea only. No word on production for the rest of the world but I don’t think Oullim would have bothered to bring the Spirra to Beijing if they didn’t have any export plans. Engine is a 2.7 6 cilinder from Hyundai, supercharged by Spirra to 400hp and 355nm, 0-100 takes 4.8 and topspeed is 305 km/h. From the Beijing Autoshow 2008, here she is, the Spirra S:

Nissan GT-R Supercar 7:29/Lap at Nurburgring
2008-05-02 19:26:00 Nissan today announced that its GT-R supercar achieved a lap time at the infamous Nurburgring in Germany of seven minutes and 29 seconds. Recorded on April 16 and 17, the GT-R used was a base specification car and fitted with the standard Japanese market tires. Driven by GT-R chief test driver Tochio Suzuki, this latest lap time beats the previous fastest time for the GT-R by nine seconds. The previous best lap time for GT-R of 7:38, also driven by Suzuki, was one of the fastest laps achieved by a production car despite conditions being slightly damp on two corners. “At last year’s testing, we were frustrated by the conditions at the Nurburgring, always believing that the GT-R could go under seven minutes 30 seconds.†said Kazutoshi Mizuno, Chief Vehicle Engineer for GT-R. “Below seven minutes 30 seconds, the GT-R proves it is among the fastest mass-production cars in the world.

Italian man creates handbuilt supercar from scratch
2008-04-17 13:29:00 Italian man creates handbuilt supercar from scratch Filandri Moreno may not be Enzo Ferrari, but he sure dreams like the late founder of the Italian supercar maker. Moreno, a 47-year old citizen of Northern Italy, has emerged from his garage after building his own supercar for the last four years. The amazing part about the car, which Moreno dubbed the Uragano (Italian for Hurricane), is that Moreno built the entire car himself — every detail, from the car's brakes to suspension. The only thing that the Italian-native didn't build himself is the car's Audi-sourced 4.2L V8, which Moreno got from a donor Audi A8. Not much else is known about the Uragano — including performance specs — but it looks as though Moreno added a turbocharger to the Audi mill. The overall look of the car is pretty slick, with some obvious influence from earlier Ferraris. The Uragano even pulls off the bare metal look quite well. There are no plans to put the Uragan...

BMW Supercar Speculation
2008-03-21 07:47:00 Carversation spoke of the Autoblog article that put BMW in the market to make a twin-turbo V10 supercar. Of while this is all speculation and rumors, there is probably a lot more truth in the matter then most people would give credit to. I will join in on the speculation as well, giving you my opinion of BMW’s new super exotic. First off, it was reported that BMW could possibly price the new car at around 300,000 Euro’s. This would never happen as €300,000 would translate into well over $462,000. That is a price BMW could very well afford to sell such a car at, but only if it were to have an ///M badge in front of it, or be a car that could compete easily with the Ferrari Enzo or the Porsche Carrera GT. Since those two cars are no longer in production BMW would most likely not price a car that high unless it had real competition to deal with. Secondly, BMW would start by making a twin-turbo V8 version to punch the lights out on the Audi R8 and make sure there is a ...

Twin-turbo V10 BMW supercar coming in 2012
2008-03-20 07:27:00 One of the top news today on Auto Blog is a rumored BMW supercar with a twin-turbo V10 engine that might be coming sometimes in 2012. The anticipated BMW sports car would have a with a twin-turbo engine based on the M5's V10 producing an estimated 625 hp from its position up front and, of course, driving the rear wheels. Since the latest trend in the car industry and more specifically the tunning departments is to have an all carbon fiber body or at least some parts of the car, it is possible that this "super car" will fit the profile.

New Pagani ?C9? supercar due next year
2008-03-07 08:29:00 Pagani may not have had anything new for this year?s Geneva Motor Show but that doesn?t mean the Italian supercar manufacturer isn?t planning anything new for the coming year. Latest reports claim a brand new model will be launched next year and a new factory will be opened to boost output necessary to build cars for a worldwide market. Production of the current Zonda supercar is expected to end within the next 12 months because its AMG-prepped 7.3L V12 will no longer be available, reports AutoWeek. The new model, codenamed C9, will instead replace the Zonda next year and will feature a new V8 engine. According to the source, the new car will be unveiled at next year?s Geneva Motor Show. Pagani is also expected to be moving to a new production facility, which reportedly will allow it to lift production to around 60 cars per year from the current 16. The new C9 model will also be homologated for new markets, which means it could also be sold in the U.S. and Japan. Pictured above is a...
