1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS by Roadster Shop

The 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS by Roadster Shop won the award of the 2009 Street Machine of the Year for many good reasons.

The original idea that Roadster shop owner Jeremy Gerber and his customer Barry Blomquist had was to transform the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette into the kind of modern concept car that General Motors would be likely to produce today.

The unique name "C1-RS" represents the first generation of Corvettes (C1) and the name of the creator, the Roadster Shop (RS). It was a revolutionary undertaking, and the results impressed everyone.

Modifications

Under the hood of the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS by Roadster Shop includes: a high performance LS7 seven liter V8 engine designed by Turn Key Engine Supply; a Tremec T-56 Custom transmission made by Bowler Performance Transmission; and a Kinsler Cross Ram EFI injection system.

Other modifications made on the Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS are a custom built stainless steel exhaust muffler, supporting a three inch diameter exhaust pipe; specialty hand fabricated aluminum gauges by Classic Instruments; and the entire chassis carefully sculpted using a 10 gauge steel frame.

Unique Concept

The unique look of the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS by Roadster Shop was achieved by several key external modifications. The original convertible top of the car was removed to turn it into a real roadster model, and the windshield was leaned back and cut in such a way as to give a more aggressive, edgy look to the new Corvette.

Porsche 997 running lights and a complementary aluminum grille bar add to the sporty design. A carefully customized rear lip spoiler extends the natural lines of the car from the rear wheels all the way to the back tip of the car, further accentuating the sleek shape.

The tail light panel was also uniquely created in carbon fiber by Prototype Composites of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The hand fabricated aluminum arches behind the two seats were made to further enhance the car's sporty nature. As a result, the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS by Roadster Shop transforms a classic into a modern muscle car.

BMW M6

The year is just in its first quarter but BMW has already unveiled another driving machine for the future, the 2013 BMW M6.

The BMW M6 is available in coupe and convertible which is good news for BMW enthusiasts who always want to have these options.

Exterior

The M6 Coupe and Convertible feature exquisitely dynamic lines that impose a sense of athleticism innate in the M series. The body design accurately displays the power that the car can deliver.

The M6 Convertible uses a supreme-quality soft top that is constructed using the distinctive "fin" architecture. The M6 Coupe comes with an astonishingly contoured carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof.

Performance

Its performance is attributed to its 4.4 L V8 engine that comes with the M Twin Power Turbo technology and these added features:

• High Precision Direct Petrol Injection
• Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology
• VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control
• Cross-bank exhaust manifold

Equipped with these features, the M6 can deliver 412 KW or 560 horsepower at 6,000 to 7,000 RPM. The maximum engine speed will be reached at 7,200 RPM. It delivers its torque of 620 Newton meters flat between 1,500 and 5,750 RPM.

All in all, the improved M6 engine provides an engine output that is 10% higher and a maximum torque that is 30% higher than its forerunner.

The 2013 M6 features 7-speed Drivelogic-equipped Double Clutch Transmission, Low Speed Assistance, optimized launch control, and automatic gear selection. The Active M differentials transfer power to the rear wheels for optimum traction delivery. This way, the driver is guaranteed directional stability during acceleration from corners and lane switching.

Aside from handling precision, the M6 delivers optimum stopping power. It is made possible with the 400 mm front, and 396mm rear carbon-ceramic disc brakes.

Having looked at the most important details, it is no doubt that the 2013 BMW M6 is more than just the combination of good looks and excellent performance.

Jaguar XK and XKR Special Edition

Every Jaguar XK is a representation of advanced engineering coupled with a cosseting luxury and the 2012 Jaguar XK & XKR Special Editions are no exception.

They even further enhance the luxuriousness of the XK through handcrafted Artisan interiors.

Complimenting the sumptuous materials used, two exclusive 'Artisan colorways' have been specifically designed for the XK and XKR Special Edition models - Canvas with Truffle head linings and Navy with Jet head linings.

Hood colors of the convertible models are also available in a range of carefully selected colors including Black, Grey, Blue and Brown. Additional discreet enhancements include stainless steel pedals and Special Edition tread plates.

The Special Edition XK/XKR exclusive exterior color is Celestial Black, however, Ultimate Black, Lunar Grey, Rhodium Silver, Crystal Blue and Polaris White are available alternatives. In addition to the new color palette, two new 20 inch alloy wheel designs are available to choose from.

Special Edition

Whether you buy the new Special Edition in Convertible or Coupe form, both models utilize the advanced engineering techniques found in other Jaguar XK/XKR models. Jaguar is the industry leader in the use of aluminum technology and both models are lightweight yet exceptionally rigid and strong.

Performance

Standard in all models is the 5.0 liter direct injection V8 engine which is available in two versions: naturally aspirated 385 hp in the XK and a supercharged 550 hp in the XKR. The result is a controlled ride that is beautifully damped, precise handling and an effortless high performance.

Audi E-tron Spyder Concept

Audi unveiled its E-tron Spyder concept at the 2010 Paris motor show.

The Audi E-tron Spyder concept is a two-seater, open top, hybrid sports car.

The car is powered by both a 3 liter V6 TDI in the rear axle and two electric motors (64kW) for the front axle.

Features

The Audi E-tron concept design is the evolution of the existing Audi design language and at the same time presents the elements which hint towards future Audi cars. The car also borrows some design elements from the sportiest Audi vehicle, the R8.

The Audi design team managed to build a light weight car (1,450Kgs) with a perfect front to rear weight ratio of 50:50, giving it excellent handling capabilities. Also, the intelligent distribution of power to the front wheels help improve the dynamic handling of the vehicle. This along with the cars design ensures high degree of precision while cornering at high speeds.

Performance

Audi e-tron concept is equipped with a 3 liter, six cylinder TDI engine breathes through twin turbochargers and produces 300hp. The diesel engine pumps out a massive amount of torque of 479 ft lbs.

The TDI engine powers the rear wheels. In a smart innovation, apart from the TDI engine, the front wheels are driven by two electric motors.

Each of these electric motors produces 88 hp and a combined torque of 259 ft lbs. The E-tron Spyder combines the torque produced by diesel and electric motors during acceleration through a process called 'boosting', resulting in a massive supercar type performance.

Range

The e-tron can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. E-tron is not just a fantastic performance car, but also a highly fuel efficient car with extremely low emission levels.

The E-tron Spyder returns a mileage of 107 mpg on an average. The car can also drive purely on electric motor with a range of up to 31 miles and a top speed of 37 mph which is sufficient for easy driving.

There has been no official word about when we can expect E-tron Spyder to hit the production lines. However, Audi e-tron Spyder concept does showcase what we can expect from hybrid technology from Audi.
