Now this is what I call a supercar!! A 2,000 horsepower Lamborghini. The car in question is the Lamborghini Indomable and was originally a design study sponsored by Lamborghini. The guys behind the idea were Alberto Fernandez and Daniel Chinchilla Ochoa. You might think this is just another concept car but you’d be wrong, there are now plans to build the car but not by Lamborghini.
An American (Pennsylvania) based company called 215 Racing has acquired the rights to the Indomable design and they are planning on building production models through their subsidiary company called Mostro Di-Potenza, which means “Monster Power” in Italian, the car will be called SF22. continue reading →
Nissan has finally unveiled the much anticipated Esflow Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The Nissan Esflow uses a lot of the technology from the award-winning Nissan Leaf. The Esflow looks like a sports car, handles like a sports car, performs like a sports car, yet it is much different than your average sports car.
The powertrain for the Nissan Esflow consist of two electric motors which are positioned above the rear wheels and a low mounted laminated lithium-ion battery pack for better weight distribution. The Esflow is expected to accelerate from 0-60mph in under five seconds and reportedly able to travel 240km on one single charge. continue reading →
The Independent German car manufacturer, Wiesmann, has unveiled their latest vehicle at the Geneva Motor Show called the Spyder Concept. The Spyder is a purist sports car where it is only the driver, machine, and the road. The Spyder Concept has no windshield, no door, or even a roof. It’s technically a Go-Kart on steroids.
And when we say steroids, we mean it. This little 1,000kg monster can perform the 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and has an approximate top speed of 180mph. The Spyder Concept is able to put down these types of numbers thanks to the 4.0 liter V8 producing 414 bhp. continue reading →

Audi officially unveiled their A3 Sedan Concept car at the Geneva Motor Show yesterday. From the pictures, the A3 sedan looks pretty nice and we do expect it to make it as a production model. The car presented at the show would probably be the equivalent of an RS3 sedan because of the wide body and the amount of power the concept car produces.
The Audi A3 Sedan measures 14.57 feet in length, is 6.04 feet wide, and 4.56 feet high and makes liberal use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). The CFRP can be found on the 20” wheels, the front grill and air intake, rear view mirrors, and the diffuser. continue reading →
