Swedish designer Daniel Paulin has created a new supercar called Devon GTX for Devon Motorworks. Devon GTX is based on Dodge Viper and will debut at the Pebble Beach Concours.

Before that Justin Bell from Devon Motorworks will take the Devon GTX to the famous Nürburgring to attempt a new lap record.

If they can pull it off and make it faster than the Nissan GT-R it could be a huge thing for the company. Being the fastest car on Nürburgring is the best marketing any supercar maker can wish.

At the moment Devon GTX is in design stage, but we do hope to see it on the Nürburgring in July and at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours in August.

According to Daniel Paulin GTX is designed to look both classical and futuristic. We hope to bring you more details about this new supercar in the near future, until then enjoy first images below.

Audi RS4: the all new next-generation car coming within two years!
The magazine Car and Driver had reported about the RS4 model not being produced any more. But that does not seem to be true and there is hope the sporty sedan would make a comeback. Autovisie Magazine has reported this piece of information. They have also gone on to state that a new RS4 is in the making and to be available in next two years.

High ranked officials of the company have given the information about the new RS4 and its making.

There is not much details about the car but is expected to be faster more fuel efficient and more attractive by looks than the out going model.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 gets all the more exquisite with Grigio Antares paint

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 gets all the more exquisite with Grigio Antares paint
Grigio Antares has always been a special color associated strictly with the Murcielago model. Yet, in San Diego, California a 2009 version of Gallardo LP560-4 of the unique color has recently been sold by the Symbolic Motor Car Company. With the brilliance of the color, the car equipped with tinted tail lamps, tinted side markers and passport radar looks majestic. The car has a lot more to offer than just these mentioned above.

Some other yellow and green shades of exterior paint were initially chosen for this model. Thankfully and fortunately the gray shade of Grigio Antares was finally chosen, something that has made the car look really stunning. The color was chosen by the owner to define the car in his own terms without much tampering of the elegant Lamborghini design.

The wonderful color painted on the car adds to its amazing performance and build up. The Gallardo LP560-4 runs on the brand new V10 engine with a capacity of 5.2 liters. The engine is capable of producing a power output of 560 PS (412 kW) at rotation rates as high as 8000 rpm. Compared to the previous version of Gallardo, the power output has been boosted by 40 PS. The weight of the car has been effectively reduced by approximately 20 kilograms. What this has done to the car is that it has enhanced the power to weight ratio by 2.5 kilograms per PS (hp) and has thus bettered the performance of the car. The LP560-4 is capable of reaching the 60 mph mark from zero in just a matter of 3.7 seconds. The car also has the capability of reaching a maximum speed of 201 mph. Thus the color perfectly complements what the car can do on the roads.

2011 Porsche Cayenne 902 Coupe on offer from Merdad

2011 Porsche Cayenne 902 Coupe on offer from Merdad
Merdad is well known in the automobile circle. The tuning company is very famous for its tuned cars and is also tipped as one of the best tuners in the automobile industry. A few months ago Merdad revealed specifications of their brand new project based on the Cayenne model of German manufacturers Porsche. Porsche Cayenne was already a cutting edge car with stunning looks when it went under tuning from Merdad. Merdad has eliminated the two doors of the car to give it an even more sophisticated look. They have also made further adjustments to cover up for the pair of doors.

As we assess the recent works of Merdad on Coupe models, they have followed a proper trait of using an innovative styling kit provided with brand new aerodynamic parts. These are complemented by an electronic lowering instrument flanked by 22 inch alloy wheels, something that gives the car a sleek look. The set of wheels is available in two choices namely black and silver. Merdad have also added new dimensions to the interiors of the car and have taken it to a new level. They have introduced a sports wheel along with brand new trims. The interiors are clad in pure black leather and red Alacantara.

The 2012 BMW 1 Series M coupe will not come with a Moonroof

The 2012 BMW 1 Series M coupe will not come with a Moonroof
Though BMW will be offering the 1 Series M Coupe with various options, the one thing that the set of wheels will miss out on is the Moonroof. This would be a disappointment for many vintage BMW lovers. But the move of eliminating the Moonroof is a wise one by BMW in order to reduce the overall weight of the Coupe by 35 pounds or 15.8 kilograms. According to Drive On, the Coupe barring the Moonroof will have a lower center of gravity which will offer more stability to the car at higher speeds. The 1 SeriesM Coupe is expected to run on a twin-turbocharged in-line six cylinder engine which is going to deliver at least a power output of 340 hp along with a torque output of 450 Nm. This configuration will power the car to race up to the 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in a mere matter of 4.9 seconds.

The car is expected to hit the showrooms in the spring of 2011. The coupe will run on the standard 18 inch 5 spoke wheels (which will be the minimum till date for an M1 Coupe). Buyers may also opt for 18 inch Competition wheels with the car. The M1 model will be flanked by an M-designed side vents and side sills, along with a bulged hood in front of the car. This is bound to give the car a more bullish look on the roads.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo gets an exterior makeover from Tecnocraft

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo gets an exterior makeover from Tecnocraft
Imagine what might happen when a tuning company from America spreads out a whole lot of carbon fiber on a super car from Italy. We would expect it to be a disaster. And when the car is of the order of Lamborghini Gallardo, we would recommend any American tuningcompany to leave the car alone. But quite surprisingly and shockingly on a positive note, the tuning package for Lamborghini Gallardo prepared by none other than Technocraft is going to bowl you over.

The Technocraft tuning package for the Lamborghini Gallardo includes engine carbon panels, air box, carbon fiber seats, wings, and many other modifications. This kit from Technocraft also comes with a brand new set of wheels. The modified version of the car is clad in black paint with yellow highlights all over the body of the car.

The above mentioned criteria are available on the standard tuning package from Technocraft. The customers are also being given the liberty to opt for acarbon fiber rear splitter and racing harnesses. Due to such an extensive application of carbon fiber on the car, the overall weight of the car is amazingly reduced by 300 lbs. Due to this light weight nature of the car, the performance of the car has improved a great deal with enhanced aerodynamics and better performance. The package gives you the best for the car. Hence they did not alter the engine of the car, because the modifications on the exterior gave quite satisfactory outputs!

Nissan GT-R Alpha 9 version created

2010 Nissan GT-R Alpha 9 version created by AMS
Much time has not passed since the release of the news about 2012 Nissan GT-R. Many of the automobile lovers are still on a quest to find out what is new with this brand new car. While they are just wondering Auto Moto Sports Performance has announced a package already for the GT-R R35. The package mind you is not just any package, but a masterful one. They have christened the package Alpha 9. Alpha 9 is capable of delivering an output power of 650 HP on the same model which conventionally delivers 530HP. An enhancement by 120 HP well, that’s an upgrade you could boast of.

With this much power now on tap also means there is a major change will come in the statistics of the car. The Nissan GT R with the Alpha 9 package has set a new gas pump record for a quarter of a mile.
The upgraded version of the Nissan GT R has managed to cover the distance in a mere matter of 10 seconds. But we weren’t two surprised. This is because back in May we revealed a Nissan GT-R R35 car that succeeded in covering the same distance in a mind boggling time of 9.62 seconds. Now the question that stands is whether they are from the same tuner. If not they should check out on each other.

Along with the engine upgrade, the Alpha 9 package has also introduced a 90 mm exhaust system to the model. That does some good to this fascinating car. The other major up gradations include new turbo inlet pipes, an upgraded version of billet wheel ball bearing turbochargers, a front mount intercooler upgrade along with customized and calibrated MAF sensors. The tuner also provides the buyer an option to go for catalytic converters for the downpipes along with a substitute race mid-pipe. But this option removes the choice of adding a muffler to the car.

However, if you thought that this would come cheap, you are quite wrong. If you want to fulfill your dream of owning and driving a full fledged racing car from Nissan it would create a big hole in your pocket, as large as $21,999 for the Alpha 9 package.

2010 Novitec Rosso Sports Cars 599 RACE 848

NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 – this name stands for an absolutely unique high-performance sports car. Only three of these automotive masterpieces will be built. The two-seater car is based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2010.
2010 Novitec Rosso Sports Cars 599 RACE 848
Underneath the striking aluminum skin that sports the unusual color combination of matte white and grey beats an extremely powerful heart: The 2010 NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 twelve-cylinder twin compressor engine produces 848 hp / 624 kW of power and has a peak torque of 842 Nm.
Powered by this engine the car sprints from rest to 100 km/h in less than 3.4 seconds, to 300 km/h in just 23.7 seconds, and reaches a top speed in excess of 345 km/h. This exclusive special model also features an aerodynamic-enhancement kit developed in the wind tunnel, three-piece 21-inch wheels with matching sports suspension, a high-performance brake system and exclusive interior options.
The NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 is powered by an evolutionary stage of the tried and proven twin-compressor engine conversion for the six-liter V12 four-valve engine of the F599. For an additional power increase of 40 hp / 29.4 kW both mechanical chargers were fitted with modified turbine blades, several details of the engine peripherals were modified and the engine electronics were reprogrammed.
The high-performance chargers have an electronically limited boost pressure of 0.48 bars. The chargers are driven by a cogged belt and have their own dedicated oil circuit. A large water-to-air intercooler with dedicated water circuit also contributes greatly to the optimal power yield. A custom-developed intake manifold, high-performance injectors and sport air filter round out the engine conversion.
In addition, high-performance headers custom-designed for the compressor engine and the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel quad sport exhaust system with a pipe diameter of 90 millimeters are also installed. The intensity of the exhaust note can be adjusted with a little switch on the steering wheel called the ‘manettino.'
The NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 specification represents a power increase over the production engine of 228 hp / 167.8 kW to 848 hp / 624 kW at 7,900 rpm. Simultaneously peak torque grows by 234 Nm to 842 Nm at 6,300 rpm.
Longer carbon-fiber NOVITEC ROSSO shift paddles make shifts of the six-speed F1-Superfast transmission even quicker and more precise. The gearbox also plays a major part in the superior performance of the car. Acceleration from rest to 100 km/h takes just 3.4 seconds, the sprint to 200 km/h a mere 9.6 seconds. With a sprint time for 0 - 300 km/h of just 23.7 seconds the NOVITEC ROSSO RACE 848 solidifies its position among the world's fastest-sprinting sports cars. The car reaches a top speed of more than 345 km/h.
This level of performance places highest demands on well-balanced aerodynamic properties which received their finishing touches in the wind tunnel. The NOVITEC ROSSO front spoiler lip reduces lift on the front axle. The rear apron is upgraded visually and aerodynamically with a rear diffuser. The NOVITEC ROSSO rear wing further increases downforce.
The high-performance equipment also includes three-piece NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires. The alloy wheels with five double spokes measure one inch diameter more than the production wheels. The front axle features size 9Jx20 wheels with size 275/30 ZR 20 tires. Size 12.5Jx21 wheels and size 355/25 ZR 21 tires on the rear axle provide excellent traction.
The height-adjustable NOVITEC ROSSO sport suspension also allows the damping rates to be set to the individual preferences of the future owners of the super sports car. The suspension's lift function on the front axle can be activated with a push of a button in the cockpit. It raises the front of the vehicle by 40 millimeters to safely navigate such obstacles as speed bumps or parking garage ramps. Upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h the suspension automatically reverts to its original drive position.
