  • MINI John Cooper Works Concept To Debut In Detroit

    MINI-John-Cooper-Works-Concept-THUMBMINI John Cooper Works Concept will make its official first world appearance at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next year. The concept features all of the highlights that are typical for the MINI Style but includes technology lifted straight from the race track.

    One can see that the car also features all of the details that are typical for the John Cooper Works style, including exclusive body paintwork in Bright Highways Grey, familiar MINI red colour accents, bespoke aerodynamic features and 18-inch John Cooper Works light-alloy wheels in a newly developed design.

    The aim of the engineers and designers with this concept was to deliver the ultimate driving experience for those behind the wheel. This was made possible thanks to the precise interplay of the ultra-high-performance powertrain and chassis technology with the car’s aerodynamically improved exterior. In addition, these enhancements also contribute towards an agile and surefooted handling.

    This concept vehicle is based on the latest-generation MINI. This means benefits in terms of weight savings, aerodynamics, and more. Large air intakes – filling the space reserved for fog lights in the series-produced MINI models – and precisely formed air-channelling elements mark out the front apron of the MINI John Cooper Works Concept, which also features LED headlights and a black surround for the front grille.

    A special aerodynamic kit is also added and it comprises of specially contoured side skirts and a rear apron with flaps and a diffuser element. The car also includes a roof spoiler and additional body components. They serve in channeling the air efficiently around the C-pillars for optimized aerodynamic balance at high speeds.

    The exterior appearance of the study car is exceptional. It features a Bright Highways Grey exterior paint shade over which is applied a hand-polished surface layer with a clear coat. This results in lustrous sheen of the paintwork. A contrasting red is utilized for the roof, roof spoiler and exterior mirror caps.

    Also included are Sport Stripes in Chili Red for the bonnet and boot lid, and in white for the roof. Red accents can also be seen on the rim wells of the JCW light-alloy wheels, the callipers of the sports brakes, the side indicator surrounds and the contour lines of the front and rear apron.

    John Cooper Works logo is positioned on the radiator grille. A special exhaust system is also featured and it includes the JCW silencer system, and the striking twin tailpipes with chrome finish that also carry the logo.

  • Prior-Design Present The Widebody BMW X5

    Prior-Design-PD5X-Widebody-BMW-X5-E70-shadowPrior-Design-PD5X-Widebody-BMW-X5-E70-mediumAnother purely visual upgrade this time from Prior-Design. The German-based company has been focusing on SUVs lately. There was the Mercedes G-Class, the Porsche Cayenne II, the Range Rover Evoque, and now this: the Prior-Design PD5X Widebody BMW X5.

    It’s a pretty serious overhaul, albeit, we are talking about an exterior job. The kit’s called the PD5X Widebody, and alongside the usual suspects – that is, the new front bumper with a spoiler lip, side skirts and rear bumper with a diffuser attached – there are other, more ostentations bits and pieces. Notice the flaring front fenders or the rear widenings with their ridiculously big air vents. Or how about that artistically carved hood with ducts that make no sense.

    You can bolt on all of the said parts on any BMX5 E70, so imagine the rattle of a diesel engine contrasting the otherwise aggressive vista. Comedy gold?

    The whole kit will set you back with around $12,345. There better be a lot of carbon fibers inside those plastics. How does the finished product stand up to the other Prior spawns? We’ll let you be the judge of that.

  • JMS Upgrades For The Common Volkswagen Golf VII

    JMS-Volkswagen-Golf-VII-shadowJMS-Volkswagen-Golf-VII-mediumThose of you that are stuck with a Golf VII that’s not a GTI or an R will be pleased to know that JMS has this small enhancement pack which might bridge the commons with the performers. Maybe.

    It certainly doesn’t sound glamarous. The pack employs a frontlip spoiler “with an integrated diffuser” that is supposed to be screwed and glued on the stock bumper – quite DIY if you as us. There’s also a color-coded diffuser at the back, which again – we suspect – has to be bolted onto the stock rear.

    There is, however, the presence of a menacing-looking stainless steel exhaust system with two beautifully rounded 90 mm pipes. You may have also noticed that they sit quite close to the ground. That’s because the Germans at JMS have installed a KW coilover suspension kit which lowers the Golf with 50 mm at the back and 45 mm at the front.

    To round things up (no pun intended), JMS have also thrown in four Italian made 1-piece OZ-Racing wheels. The ultralaggeras (super lights) are 8×19 big and wear 225/350-19 tires.

  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700 Converted To Winter Edition

    SR-Auto-Lamborghini-Aventador-LP700-Winter-Edition-THUMBPROJECT700 has been started with the aim to entirely be dedicated to winter. Thanks to the designers at SR Auto Group, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700 has been fully changed in order to survive the cold and slippery days.

    First of all, the tuners began with the exterior modification of the car. They have installed a full carbon fiber PUR Aero kit. The latter accentuates the beautiful lines of the Aventador even more. And to keep the carbon shiny, they have applied a clear vinyl to protect it from the harmful affects of the salty roads.

    The next step was to wrap the body of this Lamborghini in satin black vinyl for both aesthetic and protection purposes. What truly amazes here at first glance however, is the external storage compartment which can store all the gear needed for the perfect vacation.

    This is where the designers added a custom made rear attachment which was created in such way that it pairs with an eight foot long Thule ski box. The box itself was then was wrapped in the same satin black vinyl.

    The same “black” theme is continued even onto the wheels. SR Auto has added a set of factory flush PUR 4OUR wheels matched with Pirelli Sotto Zeros. The wheels include strong powder coated finish in order to withstand the winter months. At last, a suspension by PUR Basics was added. The lowering system dropped the vehicle to a fully functioning height.

    SR Auto Lamborghini Aventador LP700 Winter Edition Details:

    • Wheels & Tires
      • PUR 4OUR, 19×9.5, 20×12 | Modern Black
      • Pirelli Sotto Zero, 255/35/19 | 335/30/20
    • Exterior
      • PUR Aero Carbon Fiber Front Lip
      • PUR Aero Carbon Fiber Side Skirts
      • PUR Aero Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler

      • Satin Black Exterior Vinyl
    • Suspension
      • PUR Basics Lowering System

  • Mugen Trim Prepared For Honda Vezel

    Hinda-vezel-mugen-THUMBThe Mugen trim for Honda Vezel has been revealed via a brochure scan. Honda Vezel was recently introduced and in fact it is a production version of the Urban SUV concept that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show. The production vehicle will be available in dealerships just few days ahead of Christmas – 20th December, while it’s Mugen enhanced version will be introduced shortly after that.

    Mugen’s package appears to add to the Vezel a custom aero kit, which comprises of chin spoiler, front radiator slat, roof spoiler, alloys, rear apron, exhaust pipes and side skirts. The model which was introduced in the brochure features a 4WD and is driven by a direct-injection 1.5-liter gasoline engine.

    By far, there is a three-month waiting list for the Vezel. The exterior of the Vezel brings together the SUV spaciousness and the coupe styling. Its exterior has sharp character lines, while its interior makes full use of the space and brings about high-quality experience for both driver and passengers.

  • BMW Z4 With Pure Fusion Design Package

    BMW-Z4-Pure-Fusion-Design-THUMBBMW Z4 is one of the most exclusive two-seaters. It sports classic roadster proportions, superior engine and drivetrain technology. In addition, its designers have equipped it with innovative equipment features.

    In addition, being a roadster, the Z4 features an electric retractable hardtop that can be raised or lowered when the vehicle is in motion. Now BMW is offering an equipment package known as Pure Fusion Design for the model which will add an exclusive aesthetic appeal to the sporty open-air experience.

    To be more precise, the exclusive package refines the interior of the Z4 and is available in various exclusive colors and materials which emphasize further the expressions of sporty luxury. These are embellished with precision seams, surfaces and exclusive stitching that bring harmony to the orchestration of the interior.

    What is more, the package includes extended premium Nappa leather trim and specially designed sport seats in Ivory White. The latter also includes contrast brown stitching that highlights the perforated surface of the side supports in the seat backs. The same stitching can be found on the armrests, door panels and the passenger pull handle.

    To continue the Ivory White theme, the designers have decided to feature it on the lower portion of the dashboard. A harmonious effect is achieved with the black leather contrasted with brown lapfolded seams that cover the window sills, the top of the dashboard and the instrument cluster scoop.

    Moreover, the horizontal trim line made of Saddle Brown Nappa leather includes bright contrast stitching that begins from the passenger side and goes to the driver’s cockpit. The trim on the center console and near the five round controls just below the central air vent in the dash are finished in Fineline wood. The exclusivity of Pure Fusion Design is even present at the sun visors which are wrapped in black Nappa leather.

    In combination with the Pure Fusion Design package, the BMW Z4 can be finished in Sparkling Brown metallic paint. The package can also be combined with the M Sport package.

  • Automated Fusion Hybrid Research Vehicle By Ford

    Fusion-Hybrid-Automated-Vehicle-THUMBFusion-Hybrid-Automated-Vehicle-651Ford in conjunction with the University of Michigan and State Farm has just revealed a new project – a Ford Fusion Hybrid automated research vehicle. The latter will be utilized in order to make progress on future automated driving and other future technologies.

    Precisely, Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle will test brand’s sensing systems and driver-assist technologies in order to deliver better experience for the driver and occupants in the future models.

    Nowadays, Ford offers vehicles which already have technology that enables them to park themselves, understand a driver’s voice commands, detect dangerous driving situations and assist with emergency braking. Taking this in hand and imagining how many other new advanced technologies will appear, Ford envisions that one day all this could allow a person to be driven to a destination.

    For this reason, the brand now introduces the automated Fusion Hybrid which will serve as the research platform for achieving these goals. The Fusion Hybrid research vehicle builds on driver-in-control studies conducted in Ford’s VIRTTEX driving simulator.

    In addition, the brand is working in terms of improving technology already used in vehicles on the road. This includes functions that alert drivers to traffic jams and accidents, and technologies for parking and for driving in slow-moving traffic.

    In addition, the engineers at the brand also work on vehicle-to-vehicle communications, autopilot capabilities of the cars, and vehicles with fully autonomous navigation and parking. Ford Fusion Hybrid was chosen as the test platform for the new research effort because it is one of the cars which offer the most advanced driver-assist technologies in its class.

    To go further into details, these technologies include Blind Spot Information System, active park assist, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support. And exactly these systems will be building blocks for the future of fully automated driving.

    Other Ford vehicles which include these technologies are the Focus, C-MAX hybrids, Fusion, Taurus, Escape, Explorer, Flex, Mondeo, S-MAX and Galaxy. What is more, the research vehicle also includes four scanning infrared light sensors – named LiDAR (for Light Detection And Ranging) – that scan the road at 2.5 million times per second.

    LiDAR utilizes light in the same way a bat or dolphin uses sound waves. This means that the sensors can track anything dense enough to redirect light, and can also sense the difference between a paper bag and a small animal at nearly a football field away.

  • Vorsteiner Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Photo Shoot

    Vorsteiner-Mercedes-Benz-CLS-63-AMG-shadowVorsteiner-Mercedes-Benz-CLS-63-AMG-mediumVorsteiner’s Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG came out quite some time ago. Apparently, customer response was good because the project is still alive and kicking.

    Hence, this gorgeous photo shoot of a black CLS 63 AMG wearing the same Vorsteiner suit. Actually,  “suit” is a massive overstatement. Maybe its the discrete nature of the thing that made it has made it popular among gear heads. There isn’t much on the CLS apart from the front add-on spoiler, rear diffuser, and decklid spoiler. The exposed carbon-fiber is a nice touch though.

    We weren’t sure at first, but our team of forensic scientists and IT experts…erm… zoomed in on some of the pictures and concluded that the wheels on this CLS 63 AMG, at the time of the photo shoot, were from Vorsteiner’s VS-160 line, presumably 20 inches in diameter.

    Nothing else to talk about really. Still, no better way to wrap up the day with some eye candy, right?

    Recently Vorsteiner released a yet another photo shoot of a previous project of theirs. Wonder how long are they going to keep this up and deprave us from new stuff.

  • Rolls-Royce Canton Glory Ghost Special Edition – Two Units

    Rolls-Royce is going to bring a Canton Glory Ghost Special Edition at the 2013 Auto Guangzhou in China.

    This latest Bespoke model is designed as a tribute to the city of Guangzhou, combining legendary heritage and glorious modernity with the pedigree of the British car brand. The powerful, newly-released Wraith completed the stunning line-up at the show, along with a Bespoke Phantom, which showcased the enthusiastic participation of local customers in the Bespoke Personalisation Programme.

    Only two cars were made and both of them boast a two-tone exterior finish combining Madeira Red with either Carrera White or Cassiopeia Silver. There are also Guangzhou’s Five Rams logo on the dashboard, headrests, coachline and veneer panels.

    “Bespoke is about fulfilling each owner’s wish for exclusivity and creativity. Working under the guiding principle that ‘The Only Limit is Your Imagination,’ Bespoke allows owners to express themselves and create designs to their own unique tastes. These designs are then made a reality by the skilled craftsmen of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood.”, commented Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer, Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Region China.

  • 2014 Toyota Verso With A BMW-Sourced Engine

    2014-Toyota-Verso-shadow2014-Toyota-Verso-mediumThe 2014 Toyota Verso comes with a new trim line. Why is the yearly update of a dreary Toyota people-carrier news? Because there’s also a new engine for it that’s come out of BMW

    Usually, joint ventures seek the best of both worlds. Think of the Lamborghini Aventador – unsurpassed Italian flare charged with passion and beauty + an efficient Audi engine and a legacy-laden AWD drivetrain. This here, however, takes Toyota dependency and sturdiness, and mixes it with BMW…erm…dependency and sturdiness. Is this the automotive world’s version of the Inception?

    So we are talking about a 1.6 D-4D diesel engine. It has 110 bhp and 270 Nm of torque that can be found between 1,750 and 2,250 rpm. With it, the Verso gets from zero to sixty in 12.7 seconds which is okay, for an MPV anyway. With 62.8 mpg*, the new D-4D Verso is eight percent more economical than the previous one. CO2 emissions stand at 119 g/km*

    Toyota had to do the tiresom job of actually fitting the Bavarian engine in the Verso. A newly developed dual-mass flywheel had to be installed, the engine mounts were revised and the whole electrical system was rewired. A six-speed manual transmission comes as a given, while a CVT is available with all but the first trim line (Active). There;s also a stop and start system – a first in the Verso line – designed in tune with the efficiency principles of Toyota Optimal Drive.

    The new trim line gets slotted between the last and second-to-last Excel and Icon. It’s called the Trend and adds to the existing features 17-inch alloys, black C-Pillars plus Toyota Touch 2 with Go – a super high-res infotainment display that utilizes Bluetooth, a rear-view camera, and displays vehicle information. The “Go” also suggests a super fancy navigation that works with HD traffic data from TomTom; Goolge Street View and Panoramio. Standard on all cars are the air conditioning, the electric front windows, the four-speaker audio USB + Aux-in system, heated mirrors, fog lights and Vehicle Stability Control.
