Kahn is Going to Geneva and This is Why You Should Be Excited About It

Vengeance Front View The news you have probably not heard yet is that Kahn Design is going to display a lot of special models at the Geneva Motor Show this year. If you are going to visit it, be prepared to see some old good cars they have made throughout the year and exciting new debuts. One thing is sure, Afzal Kahn’s finest vehicles will be shown there.
We have just received a confirmation letter, stating that the visitors of the event in Geneva will see the official launch of the Vengeance project, the rather eccentric Defender 110 6×6 Double Cab Pick Up, and the Chelsea Truck Company Wide Track S.

Vengeance

Geneva is the place where Aston Martin DB9 based model will celebrate its official launch. The wide body two door coupe has a muscular and aggressive design, featuring aggressive front grille, new hood and front fenders. Widened rear wings, stainless steel roof halo and window trim are accompanied by diminished rear windows.

In addition, this design treasure will be also running on huge stainless steel 20-inch front wheels fitted and 21-inch rear wheels. The Vengeance will have a limited production run and will be entirely hand built by Kahn’s experts. We hope to get more details as the Geneva Motor Show approaches.

Defender 110 6×6 Double Cab Pick Up

Defender 110 6x6 Double Cab Pick Up front View

Kahn’s Defender 110 6×6 Defender Double Cab Pickup will also be on display. The vehicle looks gorgeous, kind of extravagant, but this is probably because it runs on six wheels! This means that model had to be transformed by means of extension and widening.

The exterior of the Defender also received many tweaks, but we hope to get the exact details right before the show. Ok, let’s say that there will be new front bumper, X-Lander grille and the exuberance of Kahn badging. Modifications to the interior are also planned.

Chelsea Truck Company Wide Track S

This vehicle will be making the biggest surprise at the show. It will be exhibited alongside the Project Kahn Range Rover Vogue and the Imperial Blue Range Rover Sport editions. We haven’t seen it so far, except for a recently released sketch drawing.

The new styling package add Kahn’s sense of aggressive look, including prominent changes to the front grille and bumper, wider wheel arches filled with huge rubbers, and probably a new vented aluminum bonnet. The styling package will bring the Jeep closer in appearance to company’s successful Land Rover Defender Wide Track. And this is also confirmed through its name.

If all this is of interest to you then you should go visit the Geneva Motor Show in the beginning of March. You can join Kahn Design at stand Nr. 6338. And in the meanwhile we will keep you updated.

WIMMER Reveals Staggering Pictures and Details of KTM X-Bow GT

WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT Front View Here is the WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT. Regardless of its form, drop top or real Gran Turismo, the car is an emanation of a radical design. R and RR are the model series most famous in the X-Bow trim. They stand out immediately and are driven by preference with helmet, because the windshield does not offer any protection. On the contrary, the GT variant of the X-Bow has a windshield made of heatable laminated safety glass. The side windows of the car are also the doors of the KTM X-Bow GT in the same time.

The serial power of the KTM X-Bow GT stands proud with 300 HP (220 kW) and 420 Newton meters (310 lb-ft), making it possible for the model to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (60 mph) within 4.1 seconds.

The driving experience wouldn’t be satisfying if there weren’t the exclusive aerodynamics. The flat three-part racing sports underbody, overtaken from formula racing cars, provides grandiose aerodynamics.

WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT Rear View

In addition, the racing sports push-rod chassis on front axle has adjustable pressure and rebound, is delivered by the WP Suspensions Company, while the braking is ensured by the Brembo braking system that works behind tires of 17 inches on front and 18 inches on rear axle.

The aluminum roll-over bars, which have been integrated into the monocoque, grand optimal protection too by resisting against up to 2.5 times the vehicle’s weight. Extra safety comes from the crash box on the car’s nose, which has carbon-aluminum-sandwich construction.

So, how about a ride in the snow? Don’t forget your helmet!

Jade Pearl Rolls-Royce Phantom is One-Off and Truly Original

Jade Pearl Rolls-Royce Phantom Exterior The current Rolls-Royce Phantom you see is a Bespoke creation and it is literally one-off. The ultra-luxurious car has been specifically created for its owner, Mr. Michael Fux. The company revealed little details about the vehicle, and just posted several pictures of the ultimate Phantom. From what we can tell, this Rolls-Royce features unusual combination of colors, especially when it comes to the interior.

But if the name Michael Fux seems familiar to you, we should remind you that this lucky person has already ordered a stunning Bespoke Wraith, which was revealed in the summer last year. Just like the Phantom here, the one-off Wraith featured unique styling. However, unlike the white exterior of the Phantom, the Wraith has Aqeuus Green and Cornish White exterior finish, enhanced by discreet Jade Pearl accents.

The similarities are inside where the luxurious cabin is decided in vivid Jade Pearl design theme. Everything inside is drenched in Jade Pearl… or green. Literally. Even the smallest details: from steering wheel and floor-carpets to the speakers, instrument dials, vents and rear view mirror casing. Of course, the car has been too personalized with the name of its owner.

Jade Pearl Rolls-Royce Phantom Interior

In terms of power Rolls-Royce did not made any changes, or spoke of such. Therefore, the Phantom is just like the other Phantoms in the range, meaning that it is driven by the V12 engine. The unit generates 453 horsepower (338 kW) and 719 Nm (531 lb-ft) of maximum torque. This makes it enough for the bespoke car to sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).

Would you change anything in this project and if you had the chance to order a Bespoke Rolls-Royce, which one would it be and what color would you select?

Subaru BRZ Smashes Guinness World Record for the “Tightest 360° Spin” [VIDEO]

Subaru BRZ front view Subaru BRZ and the stunt driver and former world record holder Alastair Moffatt set a new Guinness World Record for the ‘Tightest 360° spin’. The rear-wheel drive BRZ sportscar and the famous petrolhead made it into the record books at the Autosport International Show over the weekend, by executing the world’s tightest ever 360 degree spin.

But Moffatt is not new to record-breaking. He has previous experience setting extreme Guinness World Records such as ‘Tightest Reverse Parallel Park’ and ‘Tightest Parallel Park’. Now, with this achievement the stunt-driver ace smashed the previous 2.5-metre Guinness World Record, which was made in 2014.

He managed to flick the BRZ into a 360° spin between two obstacles in Autosport International’s Live Action Arena, traveling at a speed of 30mph down a narrow lane of cars. Then he spun his Subaru BRZ 360 degrees then accelerated to the end of the course. Everything has happened in one continuous motion.

Moffatt’s BRZ car was 4.24-metre-long and the gap allowed for just 2.25m of clearance for him to complete the stunt. And this is how he broke the previous record of 2.5m. Of course, if it wasn’t the Subaru BRZ, which is renowned for its low centre of gravity and naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre ‘Boxer’ engine, he probably wouldn’t make it.

The driver also said that in order to maximize the control over the car throughout the maneuver, the traction control was switched off and ABS disengaged. Alastair also spoke about that he was impressed by BRZ because of the combination it offers, namely: lightweight, rear wheel drive and highly controllable chassis. He admitted that the Subaru BRZ “was the perfect car in which to do it.”

Now hear what he has to add about the Guinness World Record and Subaru BRZ in the video below.

smart fortwo cabrio Brings the Summer Back

smart fortwo cabrio front view The latest variant of the smart fortwo cabrio was revealed in December and now, a month later, the cute mini car is about to enter the market. The open-top two-seater is about to appear in dealerships in February in its form equipped with the 52 kW engine and the twinamic dual clutch transmission. But don’t worry, because a variant with manual transmission will follow soon. The company has prepared for the customers three lines to choose from: passion, prime and proxy. In addition they can also choose from a large range of safety and comfort equipment.

The Design

The benefit of owning a smart fortwo cabrio is that it is multifunctional. Although it is a cabrio, you need only a touch of a button to transform it to a closed two-seater. But if you want to remove the soft top (which happens within 12 seconds) you can additionally invite more fresh air in by removing the roof bars.

The soft top is in fact called “tritop” and is something of an innovation. It has an area of 1.8 square meters, and is four percent larger than its predecessor. The outer covering is made of a particularly lightfast polyacrylic fabric and the inside features a polyester/cotton mix. There is a rubber layer in the middle, making a total thickness of 20 mm. The rear window is heated and is made of glass.

smart fortwo cabrio interior and the folding tritop

In terms of design there is nothing really impressive or different from the typical “smart” design. This means that the car has a well-known profile with ultra-short overhangs, clear lines, shapes and surfaces and a tridion safety cell.

The Safety

Many might regard a smart vehicle or any other mini car extremely unsafe. Especuially when we are talking about cabrios. No worries, because smart fortwo cabrio is made of high proportion of ultra-high strength hot-formed steels and maximum-strength multiphase steels. It also includes scissor struts, two torsional bulkheads under the vehicle at the front and rear, and an inner tube in the A-pillars made of ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel.

Advanced assistance systems are also at help. These include the ESP with Crosswind Assist (which comes as an option however) and Hill Start Assist as a standard, forward collision warning and Lane Keeping Assist that are also optional.

The Model Variants

There are three model variants of the smart fortwo cabrio: passion, prime and proxy, two engines and two transmissions. The new three-cylinder engines are rated at 71 horsepower (52 kW) and 90 hp (66 kW). Both will be equipped initially with automatic twinamic dual clutch transmission, and then on the market will appear the five-speed manual transmission.

Smart fortwo cabrio will have a starting price of 15,655 euros for the model with the 71 hp engine and the twinamic dual clutch transmission.

You Have Now the Opportunity to Buy the Record-breaking Focus RS

2016 Ford Focus RS Front View Record-breaking 2016 Ford Focus RS is now going on sale in the United States. But even better, those who are keen on the Focus RS can start saving the money, because its production has been initiated in Saarlouis, Germany, and in fact the first ever all-new Focus RS has already rolled off the line there.

The long-anticipated, 350-horsepower hot hatch arrives this spring to bring about potent and attractive hot hatch lineup. In fact the car looks better than ever before and it will definitely improve Ford’s sales. For instance, the Focus ST has increased sales by 9 percent last year while Fiesta ST saw a gain of 4 percent.

In addition, the performance line-up by ford is set to grow by three models this year. The Focus RS will be joined by F-150 Raptor, which is going to debut this fall and the anticipated Ford GT supercar that goes into production late this year. And don’t forget that the lineup already includes Shelby GT350 and GT350R, which debuted last year.

As a matter of fact, Ford has put out the goal to bring the Focus RS to customers globally through 2020. The car is worth it because it has been developed by a team of Ford Performance engineers in Europe and the U.S.

2016 Ford Focus RS Rear View

One of the strongest benefits of the model is its engine. Under the hood of the model is the specially engineered version of Ford’s new 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. It has been boosted recently and now pumps out 350 horsepower (257 kW), which is an addition of 30 hp when compared to the previous variant. The torque is rated at 474 Nm (350 lb-ft). And have I mentioned that its 4.7-second 0-62-mph sprint makes the high-performance hatchback the fastest-accelerating Ford RS model ever!

Even more, the manual-only hot hatch will debut with a trick feature called stall recovery. This means that there will be no need for drivers to manually restart the engine. Focus RS also introduces innovative Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring. This feature will offer new levels of handling, grip and cornering speed. At last, we should also mention that for the first time, the RS model gets launch control and selectable drive modes. Among them is the industry-first drift mode which allows controlled oversteer drifts.

Bentley Continental GT3 with New Livery for Bathurst 12 Hours

Bentley Continental GT3 2016 Livery Bentley Team M-Sport is returning to the Mount Panorama in Australia. The racing event will happen between 5^th and 7^th of February ant the brand will to take on the Bathurst 12 Hours with two Continental GT3s. The good news is that we have received a photo with team’s new 2016 livery, which was also unveiled at the Autosport International Show a few days ago.

Speaking of team’s brand new livery, we should say that it has been significantly updated for the 2016 season. It now incorporates more of the vibrant green that was introduced to Bentley’s colour palette last year and in addition it also features design elements from the Union Flag.

In my opinion, the two Continental GT3s will undoubtedly look fantastic in their new suits. And we are all happy that Bentley has decided to unveil the 2016 livery as soon as possible and feature in the 12-hour endurance race.

This year Bentley drivers will be Guy Smith (GB) and Steven Kane (GB), joined by Matt Bell (GB), Andy Soucek (ES) and Maxime Soulet (BE). But there is another person in the team, who had previously not driven for Bentley and this is Aussie V8 star David Russell (AU).

If you are not familiar with David Russell, we can only say that he has taken class victories in all of Bathurst’s endurance race formats including the 24-hour race last year. By the way it was where he also set the fastest lap of the Mountain track ever completed by an Australian.

In other words, Bentley is returning to Mount Panorama looking to get the podium result! The experience the drivers have is substantial, the line-up is very strong and David Russell will definitely help immensely. Can’t wait to see what happens.

Bathurst 12 Hours takes place on Sunday 7 February.

Is Hyundai IONIQ the Hybrid Car We Have Been Waiting For?

Hyundai IONIQ Side View Hyundai IONIQ is probably one of those vehicles I have been longing to see due to its versatile forms of fuelling and innovative ecological approach. Well, it is now here… or at least in its hybrid form. If you are not familiar with the car, it is an advanced, alternative-fuel compact vehicle, which will eventually be offered with a choice of three powertrains: electric, plug-in gasoline/electric hybrid, and gasoline/electric hybrid.

The car is definitely a result of Hyundai’s way to go with the trend and ‘spoil’ always-changing customer’s lifestyles by breaking the mould for hybrid vehicles. In other words we have here and average design and great fuel efficiency. And do not expect more. In fact, the design of the car seems to me something of a mix of Ford Focus’ sides (and a little bit of the front) and Prius’ tail. But that’s just an opinion…

Since the IONIQ Hybrid is the first of the trio that has been unveiled we should say a word about it. It is equipped with new 1.6 GDI four-cylinder Kappa engine and 32 kW (44 PS) electric motor. The latter is powered by a Lithium-Ion polymer battery. The combined output measures 104 kW (141 PS) and 265 Nm (196 lb-ft) of torque. The powertrain is linked to a new six-speed dual-clutch transmission (6DCT), which offers responsive performance and a slick gear shift, and of course great fuel economy.

Hyundai IONIQ Interior

In addition, Hyundai also disclosed that the car is based on an exclusive new platform, which allows the driving performance of the IONIQ to be similar to that of a regular compact car. Ride and handling, noise, vibration and harshness were specially tuned to deliver superior ride quality and comfort.

There are also a lot of convenience, safety and connectivity features included like the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and 7-inch TFT information cluster. A host of innovative future-ready active and passive safety features protect the driver and passenger. Precisely we have electronic systems like Autonomous Emergency Brake, Lane Keeping Assist System, Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

IONIQ Hybrid is another car in the list of the expanding hybrids. Hyundai’s approach will make “electrification and mobility” more accessible throughout the world. Despite the expectations of setting a new benchmark, I think that IONIQ will be just another average hybrid car. But let’s not rush with the judgments and see the other two variants. The trio will be unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show in March.

And in case you are interested, IONIQ Hybrid will go on sale in Europe during the second half of this year.
