Porsche Panamera Debuts In Shanghai – With Videos

wallpaper6_800_600.jpg

Ta-dah! There it is, the long speculated, rumored, spy photo’ed and fussed over Porsche Panamera. Long in its gestation, the Panamera is Porsche’s first four door. Much can and will be said about this car. People will talk about its combination of functionality and performance. Porsche is already saying it can hit 60 in the fives, and God knows what it’ll top out at (once that limited is circumvented). The Panamera can bee seen as a good example of German engineering some will say, but a wise man once said, “Those responsible should be hunted down with dogs and saps,” and who am I to argue?

Maserati Unveils GranTurismo MC

Maserati GranTurismo MC

To quote Lando Calrissian, “What have we here!?” What we have is Maserati’s new track special, the GranTurismo MC. It’s a track only car aimed at the well-heeled gentleman racer (or woman, for that matter). Sure, it’s nice, and we’ll dig into the details soon, but what’s really nice is to see Maserati return to the racing game, even if it’s in a limited way after all these years.

Lamborghini Murcielago SuperVeloce Promo Video

Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce
Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV

Instead of our usual random Sunday video, here’s a nice promo video of the Lamborghini Murciélago SuperVeloce doing some driving and sliding around. With the Murcielago SV, we get to see a proper Lambo again, which is becoming increasingly rare in recent models. It’s loud, ridiculous, and out of this world.

The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce shown here has a 6.5-liter, 670 horsepower V12, and is lighter than the current Murcielago by about 220 lbs. Lambo will only be making 350 of these beasts. Check out this article for more info about the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. Enjoy the video after the jump: Continue Reading…

Tramontana R Edition - A Carbon Fiber V12 Monster

Tramontana R Edition
Tramontana R Edition

Are the Ariel Atom V8 and Caterham Seven RS not fast enough for you? Well, you’re crazy, but we might have the answer for you.

A relatively unknown Spanish company called Tramontana has developed a monster. They took a Mercedes-sourced twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 producing 720 horsepower and placed it in a completely carbon fiber chassis, then covered it in a body made completely from…you got it…carbon fiber. I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in… Continue Reading…

Rinspeed iChange Concept - A Shapeshifting Electric Car

Rinspeed iChange

Swiss tuning shop Rinspeed unveiled their latest crazy concept car. Called the iChange, it’s exactly as the name implies. The idea here is that the body changes depending on how many passengers are occupying the inside.

When only the driver is present, the car slips into a compact and streamlined shape reminiscent of a sports car. When more space is needed, the teardrop shaped rear end pops up to seat three. Obviously a proof of concept and of questionable usefulness, the iChange won’t ever be made, but Rinspeed says is a “signal for the coming global changes to individual mobility.” Whatever that means. But that’s not the only concept idea thrown in the iChange… Continue Reading…
