2010 Peugeot SR1 Concept Car

Showcasing the cool Peugeot SR1 concept car with pictures and video. This cool looking Peugeot will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this March, a new concept car which will be the first to bare the redesigned lion logo.

This cool Peugeot SR1 Concept Car is an all-wheel-drive turbo hybrid that has a mean 313 horsepower whilst delivering great fuel consumption of 48 mpg. The Peugeot SR1 will be powered by Peugeot’s HYbrid4 Technology, a combination of a 1.6L turbo diesel engine for the front axle and a 95 hp electric motor on the rear end.

Aston Martin One 77

The stunningly cool Aston Martin One 77 sports car is promoted as the quintessence of Aston Martin, a supercar that showcases its advanced engineering allied to hand-crafted finishing and the extensive use of exotic materials.

At its core is a rigid yet lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque. From this is hung the motorsport-style double wishbone suspension front and rear, employing pushrods to transfer vertical wheel movement to the horizontally mounted spring and damper units.

True to the £1m car's bespoke nature, the suspension will be tuned to the owner's precise requirements by Aston martin engineers.

The One-77’s 7.3-litre, naturally aspirated engine is an extreme evolution of the 6.0-litre V12 fitted to the DBS, DB9 and V12 Vantage. It has been developed in partnership with Cosworth. One-77 programme manger Chris Porritt said: “Our brief to the engine team was for them to take the 6.0-litre V12 as far as it could go, both in terms of output and weight reduction.

The targets were a power output of no less than 700bhp with a 10 per cent reduction in engine mass. Incredibly, the Aston Martin and Cosworth engineers achieved a mass reduction of some 25 per cent, and although we’ve yet to complete the final engine calibration work, I’m confident we’ll see in excess of 700bhp.”

Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a new, six-speed robotised sequential gearbox, activated by steering wheel-mounted paddles.

With a projected weight of only 1,500kg, the One-77 should easily be capable of 200mph. Aston martin predicts a 0-60mph acceleration time of about 3.5 seconds.

Porritt added: “We wanted to create something that wows you as much when you see what’s under the skin as the exterior styling itself. We started by identifying the most technologically exciting front-engined, rear-wheel drive cars in the world: those from the DTM race series. We then applied the principles and technology that feature heavily in their design and translated it to a road car application.”

2011 Peugeot 408

Peugeot will replace in three years its current generation of its mid-size class (D-segment) sedan with the new 408. The French magazine AutoPlusrevealed a few renderings that show us how the car might look like.

According to those pictures, the future 408 will keep the same shape as the current 407, the company wanted to suggest the car is indeed a Peugeot, but will also get design elements from the current 308.

Peugeot might revealed the first official sketches this year.

2010 5 by Peugeot Concept

The French automaker Peugeot is taking a step forward at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show with the planned unveiling of the new "5 by Peugeot" concept car. The new 5 has been labeled to be "the purest expression of a luxury saloon" by the manufacturer and is in fact a preview of the future Peugeot 508 sedan with a modern and prestigious design combined with timeless style.

As part of its new Marque project, Peugeot is launching a double product offensive: the development of new markets and the strengthening of its presence in its historic market segments.

The 5 By Peugeot concept demonstrates the Marque’s ambitions in the large luxury vehicle segment. Its pure and elegant lines blend with subtle technological details to create an overall effect of timeless, exclusive and modern design. Its exterior design conceals Peugeot’s HYbrid4 technology, integrating driving pleasure with new environmental challenges: 147 kW (200 bhp), four-wheel drive and an emissions level of 99 g/km of CO2 (or 0 in electric mode).

With its dimensions, proportions and styling, the 5 By Peugeot concept is a response by the Marque to radical changes in the market for large, luxury saloons. This development reflects the continual search for more status, quality and performance, but also modernity… a modernity that encompasses the vehicle’s general efficiency in terms of architecture, engines and styling. All over the world, this desire is shared by customers in the “large saloon” (M2) and “luxury” (H) segments, where these traditional values can be found. 5 By Peugeot expresses the Marque’s vision and know-how of the large touring car market. This concept car is designed and built to suggest elegance and precision, without in any way sacrifi cing the personality and dynamism so beloved of the Marque. The emotion aroused by its exterior design holds the promise of exceptional interior space, convenience and comfort.

The design of the 5 By Peugeot concept has been guided by the ongoing research into perfectly balanced and streamlined body shapes.

The contours of its three-compartment body flow smoothly, unruffled ed and without interruption or embellishment from the end of the bonnet to the top of the boot: all surfaces are fl ushfitting, with clearances between each element precisely determined to obtain an assembly quality rivaling that of a goldsmith. The overall effect is that of a vehicle “hewn from a solid block of material”.

At the front, the finish of the feline expression is spectacular: “LED tubes” are highlighted by a luminescent surround that blends with the body. The headlamps frame a unique front grille, characteristic of the Marque’s signature, whose aesthetic codes are reinterpreted following the example of the Peugeot SR1 concept car. Indeed this grille appears to be detached from the vehicle, as if suspended. The new Lion naturally takes its place in a sculptured section at the end of the long aluminium bonnet. The streamlined sides of the concept car are enhanced by bevelled, brushed-aluminium window surrounds, door handles in the same material, and sculpted 19” wheel trims.

The rear design suggests robustness and power. The particularly expressive lights are composed of three raised red clusters, also clearly distinguishing the vehicle at night; they are a reference to certain of the Marque’s historic models.

2010 Peugeot RCZ Limited Edition

Much more than a dream which has become a reality, the RCZ has been designed as an exclusive “custom” vehicle aimed at particularly discerning and demanding buyers. The 200 examples of the “Limited Edition” version of Peugeot’s compact coupé can already be pre-ordered at the Frankfurt show or in the network; contact is also possible on Peugeot’s Internet site. An edition numbered from 1 to 200 with a specific and top of the range product content.

Equipped with a 1.6-litre THP 115 kW (156 bhp) petrol engine coupled to a 6-speed gearbox, this numbered edition of the RCZ gives a first glimpse of the new pearlescent white paintwork. This livery provides a sharp contrast with the roof, covered with real carbon, as are the mirror shells that coordinate with the gloss black of the bumper grille and the brake calipers, the smoked chrome of the wheel arches and the matte black of the 19” wheels. The interior is finished with top of the range Nappa black leather upholstery.

The RCZ compact coupe is being introduced by Peugeot in a Limited Edition of only 200 units. These vehicles are especially reserved for European buyers who will order their cars at the Frankfurt Motor Show or on the Peugeot website.

If you’re wondering why it has to be 200, the number is significant as next year marks the 200th anniversary of the existence of Peugeot as an industrial brand name. Powering the RCZ is a 1.6-litre THP petrol engine making 115kW (156hp), which is the same engine that MINI’s Roadster Concept has but gets 155kW (211hp) from it.

There’s speculation though that the more powerful RCZ is currently being developed. The car runs off a 6-speed manual gearbox and sends power to the 19-inch wheels. These are matte black and are housed inside smoked chrome wheels arches. The Limited Edition RCZ features new pearlescent white paintwork and a double bubble roof covered in carbon fiber.

The interior includes Nappan black leather upholstery with heating function, front and rear parking assistance and more. These and other features like directional bi-xenon headlights, are part of three packages included with the €35,500 price.

With a strong tradition of “vehicles for pleasure” and nearly 200 years of industrial adventure, Peugeot is today launching a “Limited Edition” of the RCZ, reserved for its first 200 European customers.

Much more than a dream which has become a reality, the RCZ has been designed as an exclusive “custom” vehicle aimed at particularly discerning and demanding buyers. The 200 examples of the “Limited Edition” version of Peugeot’s compact coupé can already be pre-ordered at the Frankfurt show or in the network; contact is also possible on Peugeot’s Internet site.

2010 Peugeot RCZ

The Peugeot RCZ is a special vehicle that marks a new chapter in the history ofPeugeot. It is designed for customers who sees their cars as both, source of driving enjoyment and daily transport.

Lamborghini Estoque 4 door

The Estoque - the name refers to the sword matadors use to kill bulls, is the first four-door to roll out of Sant'Agata since the company built the abominable Portofino for the Frankfurt auto show in 1987. Whereas the Porotfino looked like a Chrysler with scissor doors, the Estoque looks like a Murcielago or Reventon with four doors.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition

Showcasing the super cool Aston Martin V12 Vantage carbon black edition car. This cool car celebrates the enormous success of the DBS and V12 Vantage. This new special edition Aston Martin adds a typically understated flair to these acclaimed models.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera

This super car is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, and it's super cool! 561 horsepower from a perky 5.2-liter V10. The Superleggera also weighs just 2,954 pounds, 33 pounds less than a Porsche Boxster! After all, Superleggera means "light weight" in Italian and the weight savings mostly come from carbon fiber with the rest of the fat being trimmed off the lightweight aluminum wheels.

Porsche Carrera Gembella Mirage GT The Porsche Carrera Gembella Mirage GT is one cool car!

For some collectors, supercars like the Porsche Carrera GT just are not exclusive enough; after all there are 1269 other examples to steal their thunder. To cater for these enthusiasts' needs Porsche tuner Gemballa developed the Mirage GT. The German company already announced their intent to take a stab at the Carrera GT shortly after the first examples were delivered, but apparently nobody wanted to be the first to hand over their car. So for many, many months the Gemballa Mirage GT existed as an artist impression only, but more recently the much anticipated customized Carrera GTs finally appeared.
