bugatti cars2014 Bugatti Veyron 

 


 Bugatti’s recently announced 1,600-horsepower SuperVeyron – a car that first made headlines a few weeks ago when the French automaker released some information on it. The latest to come out about the SuperVeyron is that it will make its world debut next year at the 2013 IAA Motor Show.
Bugatti is looking at shaving almost 550 pounds off of the Veyron Super Sport’s body while developing the SuperVeyron. We also expect Bugatti to bore out its existing 8.0-liter W-16 engine to a 9.6-liter displacement, which will help bump the SuperVeyron’s output to 1,600 horsepower. These extra ponies will net the newest Veyron a 1.8-second 0-to-60 mph time and a top speed that’s expected to reach 288 mph.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series 


 Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the SLS AMG Black – basically a souped-up version of an SLS GT race car. This is the fifth model in the Black Series and will debut at the 2012 Los Angles Motor Show. 

 Underneath the SLS' long hood,AMG has reworked the engine squeezing an extra 39 horsepower from the 6.2-liter V8 raising the output to 622 hp. And even though overall torque has dropped by 11 pound-feet, acceleration from zero to 60 miles per hour is quicker at 3.5 seconds. Top speed is 196 mph. The handling of the car has also been improved on all levels, including upgraded ceramic brakes with two-piece rotors (measuring 15.8-inches in the front and 14.2-inches at the rear wheels), adjustable coil over suspension, electronically controlled rear differential and a track that has been widened by almost an inch. For added rigidity, many of the body braces in the aluminum space frame have been replaced with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) helping to shed precious pounds.

                    2012 Kawasaki ZX10R

The only one yet to make its appearance in the litre-class fight in India, Kawasaki has taken a different approach and a welcoming one at that, by starting from lower capacity models and then climbing up the horsepower ladder. But the mean green 2012 Kawasaki ZX10R is all set to make its Indian debut next year albeit this one will be directly imported from Japan as a CBU unlike the rest of the Ninjas sold in the country that are brought in as CKDs. Which means the ZX10R woln’t be coming really at a price advantage over its rivals, but taking into consideration the rave reviews the new ZX10R has gathered around the world, it will certainly be a sight to watch the big Kwacker roll on our roads flashing its green mean side.


2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore




1199 Panigale S Tricolore
The 1199 Panigale S Tricolore version celebrates the arrival of the new generation Superbike, fitted with ABS as standard and sporting the proud Italian colours of red, white and green.
The distinctive model carries the same equipment as the S version with the addition of the new generation DDA+ with special GPS lap time function as well as a titanium racing muffler kit* by Ducati Performance. *Country specific
Monocoque technology
The 1199 Panigale’s chassis represents a step forward in motorcycle design, merging multiple parts into one compact and lightweight component, while re-evaluating rider posture with a revised ergonomic triangle.
Using the Superquadro engine as a stressed member of the chassis, the short and strong aluminium monocoque is made in die-cast aluminium and is responsible for 5kg (11lb) of the overall weight saving of the new design.
The monocoque attaches to the cylinder heads of the new specially designed engine, protruding forward to house the steering head bearings and forming the airbox along the way, which is capped-off and sealed when the 1.9kg (4.2lb) lighter aluminium fuel tank is attached, again using one component to the fulfil the roles of two.



Weight distribution and ergonomics
This optimal configuration has been achieved by centralising the mass at the front.
While the cylinders remain true to Ducati’s signature 90° L-twin configuration, the new engine has rotated the top-end backwards around the crankshaft a further 6° to give more clearance on the front wheel and enable engineers to modify the front and rear weight bias. This also enables a front-end geometry of 25.5° of rake and 100mm (3.94in) of trail.
Attaching directly to the rear of the engine, the new fully die-cast aluminium, single-sided swingarm is 39mm longer than the 1198, contributing to the increased the wheelbase of 1,437mm (56.6in) and the optimal weight distribution of the 1199 Panigale.
With the exhaust system now relocated below the engine, the die-cast aluminium rear sub-frame is considerably lighter and also attaches directly to the Superquadro engine, while the super lightweight, magnesium front sub-frame attaches directly to the monocoque frame, providing secure support for the headlamp, instrumentation and fairing. This combination of weight saving and centralisation of mass around these high front and rear sub-frame areas substantially contributes to overall vehicle agility.
The new ergonomics parameters for seat position and handlebar are defined to offer a fatigue-free riding position which ensure a perfect integration between the rider and the bike.
Seat-to-handlebar dimension is shorter, 30mm (1.18in), and bar height is higher, 10mm (0.39in), and wider, 32mm (1.26in).

2012 Kawasaki Z750R

2012 Kawasaki Z750R Features and Benefits
Sculpted aluminium swinging arm - Pressed aluminium swingarm replaces the steel square-section item of the Z750. The swingarm is lighter and contributes to the Z750R’s higher-grade appearance. The sculpted design is based on that of the 2009 Z1000, featuring the same left side, but a newly designed right side to be able to better accommodate the 180 mm rear tyre used by the Z750R.

Multi-piece front cowl - The front cowl is a multi-piece construction. The sharp, aggressive multi-facet design reflects the R-model’s sporty nature. Smoked windscreen-style instrument cover contributes to the sharper image and further distinguishes the Z750R from the Z750.

Instrumentation - Supersports style instrumentation gives at-a-glance information to the rider. Black-backed analogue-style tachometer sits alongside an orange LCD display with digital speedometer, odometer, trip meter, water temp, fuel gauge, clock, etc.

Hi-spec front forks - The 41 mm inverted front fork from the 2009 Z1000 delivers brilliant steering performance. Smooth action in the top half of the stroke is complemented by firmer damping in the bottom half. This gives the feeling of a long-stroke suspension initially, followed by a solid, planted feel in corners. Both sides of the front fork now feature rebound damping adjustability, enabling more precise settings. (Preload adjustability for both tubes is also a feature.)
Engine - Responsive liquid-cooled engine with efficient 4-valve, DOHC cylinder head displaces 748 cm3 from a bore and stroke of 68.4 x 50.9 mm. Fuel injection system is managed by a high-precision ECU. Ultra-fine injectors and 32 mm throttle bodies with oval sub-throttles offer ultra-smooth response across the rev-range.

Piggy-back reservoir rear shock - At the rear, the Bottom-link Uni-Trak rear suspension features a nitrogen gas-charged shock with piggyback reservoir. The rear suspension settings complement those of the front fork: suspension action is excellent, offering exceptional road holding. The increased cooling performance from the addition of the piggyback reservoir suits the sport riding potential of the new Z750R.

Two-tone fuel tank - Fuel tank’s luxurious two-tone paint is complemented by gold pin-striping.

High grade braking - Radial-mount, opposed 4-piston front calipers gripping thicker 300 mm petal discs deliver increased braking performance and enhanced feel. Radial-pump front brake master cylinder also contributes to the superb control and feel offered by the new calipers. Steel-braided lines offering more direct feel complete the front brake package.

Triumph Explorer - Triple Trailie

The Explorer’s 1215cc watercooled three-cylinder 12-valve motor is a clean sheet design sharing no parts with any other engine in the current Triumph range and has been designed to have as few external oil and water pipes as possible, to avoid damage if/when dropped. Durability is achieved by spraying jets of lubricant onto the pistons. A Keihin ECU takes care of fuel injection, as well as ride by wire, though here there’s no choice of programmes as on, say, the Ducati Multistrada. Claimed peak horsepower for the new engine is 135 bhp at 9,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 12.1 kgm delivered at 6,400 rpm – but more to the point, there’s already more than 10 kgm delivered at just 2,500 revs, and this is held all the way through to the 9,500 rpm revlimiter.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive



The folks at Mercedes-Benz must have a guilty conscience when it comes to the SLS AMG supercar. Why else would the German automaker follow up the snarling V8-powered debut of the modern gullwing with the SLS AMG E-Cell, and now the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive? While the retina-searing E-Cell was a merely prototype, the vehicle you see here is a production version, and can be yours for a cool half a million bucks.

Mercedes-Benz says this electrified gullwing is the most powerful vehicle in the AMG stable. With four electric motors – one at each wheel – producing a combined 740 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque, the SLS Electric Drive can rocket to 62 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. For reference, the conventionally powered SLS AMG GT puts out 583 hp, but can do the 0-60 sprint in 3.6 seconds.

The all-electric SLS employs a KERS system that was developed with help from the Mercedes-AMG Formula One team. A specially designed wall box charging unit has been designed that allows a customer's home to possess the same three-hour quick charge capabilities as a public station. Without the wall box, the EV supercar charges in about 20 hours.

If you can afford the €416,500 ($537,930) entry fee, throwing down the extra dough for a wall box should not be an issue. Mercedes-Benz calls the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive "the most exclusive and dynamic way to drive an electric car." With the blue chrome finish, we would also add "eye-catching," to that description. See for yourself in the accompanying gallery.

2013 SSC Ultimate Aero XT


SSC, a.k.a Shelby Super Cars, has already finished the replacement model of their extreme supercar - the Ultimate Aero, the Tuatara. If you think that SSC had no intention on following up on the multiple-record-holding supercar Ultimate Aero, you are mistaken.
They recently announced a special edition supercar, the 2013 SSC Ultimate Aero XT. Following in the tradition of its predecessor, the XT boasts of extreme style and even more power!

2013 Lucra LC470 SC


The 2013 Lucra LC470 SC is considered to be an affordable supercar, which has been given a promotional tagline as being " STREET LEGAL".This supercar is fitted with a GM LS7, 7.0 liter V8 engine that produces 630 horsepower. This combines with a cold-air intake system for increased throttle response and better engine use. It is connected to Tremec TKO five-speed gearbox at its rear section. These features enable the LC470 SC sprint from 0 to 60 mph in amazing 2.5 seconds. The chassis is made from 0.12 inch hot-rolled steel which is cheaper than cold rolled steel. Driver and passenger sit in the chassis instead of sitting on top of it, resulting to a lowered center of gravity that result in better handling.
