2010 Audi RS5 – First Look at the New Car Model

July 1st, 2010 Wise Car Shopper No comments

Audi RS5 – new car model, which has been launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 2009. One of our most anticipated new cars has sportier look of the new body adds significantly to the already good looking Audi coupé.

Audi RS5

Audi RS5 keeps improving the high-revving V-8. The front of this new car model look likes to the same design as the TT-RS, the back reminds of another iconic coupe; the Maserati Gran Turismo.

Audi’s 4.2-liter V-8 makes 450 hp at 8250 rpm, and maximum torque is 317 lb-ft, available between 4000 and 6000 rpm. The characteristics of this model are the following: hand-built engine is direct-injected and closely related to the 420-hp V-8 which powers the R8 supercar. Top speed is electronically governed at 155 mph or 174 mph. The RS5’s standard all-wheel-drive system sends 60 percent of the power to the rear under normal conditions, but the new, self-locking crown gear differential can shift up to 70 percent of the power forward or 85 percent to the rear if necessary. The torque-vectoring rear differential is an option that adds considerable weight, but works beautifully.

Audi RS5

The Audi RS5 sits 0.8 inch lower than the A5, and 19-inch wheels are standard. Five-spoke, 20-inch wheels are optional, as are carbon-ceramic brakes. The rear spoiler, which automatically deploys at 75 mph and retracts at 50, is exclusive to the RS5.

Audi will decide to bring it to the U.S.—especially since the S5 coupe will eventually lose its V-8 in favor of the more efficient but less emotional supercharged V-6 that powers the S4 and the S5 convertible.

Audi RS5

New sporty coupe shows that Audi is not only capable of creating sleek and sexy saloons, but also incredibly aggressive, fast and furious coupes as well. The 2011 Audi RS5 is sculpted with sport-appeal inside and out – from the ultra supportive race-style front seats to the spoiler and winglet-laden front fascia – this Audi means business.

Audi A9: New Car Concept Inspired by Architectural Style

June 1st, 2010 Wise Car Shopper 1 comment

“The styling of the A9 concept was partially inspired by the stunning architectural style of Santiago Calatrava’s buildings in “La Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias” (The City of Arts and Sciences) in my own hometown of Valencia.”

Daniel Garcia, Audi A9 designer

Audi A9 is designed as a luxury sports saloon. This concept is an innovative proposal for a luxury sports sedan. The vehicle has a higher position than Audi A8. This model is dedicated to the luxury sedan segment and it looks more like a version of the BMW’s Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept.

Audi A9

Audi A9 features a single-piece windscreen and a roof formed from an as-yet undiscovered nanotechnology material that allows the vehicle to repair damages if any occur.

Spanish designer Garcia imagined a hybrid structure of the car that combines an internal engine working in combination with four in-wheel electric motors. This concept of A9 is perfect for make out sessions. The first noticeable aspects of the new Audi concept are the electroluminescent wheels and LED lights, in bluish tones but which can probably change their color with just a touch of a button to green or orange.

Audi A9 aims to rival other new models such as the Panamera Porsche and Lamborghini Estoque.

Toyota and Tesla to Create Electric Vehicles

May 25th, 2010 Wise Car Shopper No comments

The new partnership between Tesla Motors and Toyota intends to make electric cars at the auto plant in Northern California. The new collaboration will be based on the development of electric vehicles, parts, production systems and engineering support.

Toyota is going to purchase the $50 million of Tesla’s common stock. Tesla has purchased the former NUMMI factory in Fremont, California that used to produce the Toyota Corolla and Tacoma.

The two companies announced that they expect to create thousands of job places. The plant has the capability of employing up to 10,000 employees. The factory is capable of producing half a million vehicles per year or approximately 1 percent of total worldwide car production.

The factory is located in the city of Fremont near Northern California’s Silicon Valley, very close to the Tesla’s Palo Alto headquarters. The location means Tesla can hire best-in-class engineers in Silicon Valley. The short distance also ensures a feedback between engineering, manufacturing and other divisions within the company.

“Toyota is a company founded on innovation, quality, and commitment to sustainable mobility. It is an honor and a powerful endorsement of our technology that Toyota would choose to invest in and partner with Tesla,” said Tesla CEO and co-founder Elon Musk.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also spoke at the press conference and thanked the companies for bringing their business to the state. Schwarzenegger said: “This all happened because we created tax incentives for this company and this partnership“.

May 13th, 2010 Wise Car Shopper No comments


“GINA allowed his team to challenge existing principles and conventional processes”.

Designer Chris Bangle

BMW Group has finally revealed the new sports concept car the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model in the BMW Museum in Munich. GINA stands for “Geometry and Functions in ‘N’ Adaptations“, which means that the designers’ team from BMW promotes original and innovative ideas. The designers have given maximum freedom of creativity and imagination. GINA Light Visionary Model can change its shape through the use of new materials in the coachwork.

BMW GINA

The traditional metal and plastic were replaced with stretchable water resistant transparent man-made fabric skin – polyurethane-coated Spandex. The skeleton of the car is controlled by electro-hydraulic devices and can actually move and change its shape beneath the fabric skin.

GINA produces dramatically different solutions that affect the design and functionality of future cars. The GINA Light Visionary Model is an optical look of selective, future-oriented concepts which provide an example of the manner and extent of this transformation.  The GINA Light Visionary Model is a vision of future cars and serves as an object of research. With Gina Model the BMW group starts a fundamental discussion about the characteristics that will involve the development of cars in future.

The GINA Light Visionary Model is as a bridge between vision and reality. It demonstrates a number of features: design, functionality, material and production.  With the GINA Light Visionary Model, BMW Group Design shows where this route begins.

Mansory Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero

Bugatti-Veyron

Bugatti Veyron is one of the most powerful cars in the world and its standards for terms of price, top speed and engine power leave every competitor in the auto market far behind. Vincero is the name of the latest car customized by the specialist Mansory, who wanted to make a distinctive version of this car. A lot of visual changes have been made for this Bugatti.

The car’s front side received a full face lift with modified wings, a shorter cover and a forceful front apron with LED daytime running lights. A special “V” on the front side draws even more concentration to this car and brings a special mark of respect to the name Vincero.

mansory-bugatti

The back side of this car amazes us with larger air outlets and a new diffuser which highlight the car’s powerful design. The finishing touch for this car’s exterior look was installing new striking fully forger turbine design wheels that will turn a lot of heads.

Mansory Bugatti Veyron Linea Vincero can generate an implausible 1109 HP and a maximum torque of 1310 Nm. The car’s interior is exclusive and practical. It is remarkable that combination of the high technology equipment with traditional craftsmanship, and the best materials in the world and a stylish design is something that anyone would love.

The Mansory offers a special tuning package for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 in a limited edition via their Middle East collaborator Prestige Cars from Abu Dhabi.

However, a slightly tuned version of the legendary supercar would indeed make an appearance at the show in the form of Mansory’s new Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

2012 Porsche 928

May 4th, 2010 Wise Car Shopper 1 comment

Since Porsche stopped producing the 928 model in 1995, after an 18-year run, the German automaker has gone without a front-engine coupe to compete with the likes of the BMW M6, Jaguar XKR, Aston-Martin DB9, and Mercedes CL-class.

2012_porsche_928Porsche is a high-performance four-seat luxury coupe based on its first-ever sedan, the 2010 Panamera.
Coupe buyers will choose from a selection of Porsche’s next-generation direct-injection-equipped V-8 engines. The Cayenne SUV will also get these new V-8s. Power is expected to be about 350 horses upward, with turbo versions making in excess of 500. There are rumors regarding a possible 6.0-liter V-10, which would reportedly make about 650 horsepower. Transmission choices should mirror those found in the Panamera — a seven-speed, dual-clutch DSG in the automatic role and a six-speed manual for those who insist on traditional shifting. There are no plans for an all-wheel-drive version. Like the 928 that preceded it, this coupe will be rear-wheel drive, with a transaxle helping to balance weight distribution.
