White Party - Aventador, 458 Italia and McLaren

Do exotic cars go hand in hand with techno/trance music? Not necessarily, because they’re engineered to be owned by everybody from 70-year old tycoons to 20-year old football players. Color is an important choice as it’s basically the biggest statement you can make right off the production line before going to the tuners. If you’re a rapper, you go for black on black, and if you’re a footballer you go for orange. However, there are some people in the world for whom money is no object. They can afford to match their cars to the clothes they wear that day, and why not go all-white for one of those white parties where you rave out with a bunch of your palls. So, which would be the perfect car to buy in white, the Lamborghini Aventador, the Ferrari 458 Italia or the McLaren MP4-12C.

Ferrari 2008 F1 Car - Brutal Launch and Burnout

Formula One is a very serious sport, for serious people. It is at the pinnacle of automotive technology and many other auto clichés, both good and bad, but we won’t get into that now. Ferrari are an equally serious brand, which take their racing very seriously and invest millions upon millions in research, development, testing, driver contracts etc. Them being serious, translates into very competent Formula One cars year after year, always at least as good as their competition, usually better (historically-speaking). Their F60 F1 car from 2008 was a monster, a trait due mainly to its 2.4-liter V8 engine, which produced in excess of 800 hp and revved to 19,000 rpm. This meant that the 605 kg car is propelled from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around 2 seconds, with 200 km/h (124 mph) coming up in around 4 seconds and 300 km/h (186 mph) arriving in around 9 seconds - extreme numbers, to say the least. Well, Ferrari’s F60 F1 car was driven as it should, recently, at a recent event which took place on the Vairano di Vidigulfo circuit, located in Italy. The car did a few quick starts and a couple of burnouts - a spectacle well worth watching

BMW i Cars Headed to London - Web Exclusive

The London Olympic Games are on everyone’s mind these days, especially BMW; an official sponsor of this year’s games. What better way to celebrate the games then by showing off some of their electric vehicle line up? BMW is planning to show Olympic Game attendees the new BMW i Store (not to be confused with the apple stores). Inside a BMW i Store you will be able to get up close and personal with the highly respected i8 sports car, the i3 economy four-seater, and making its debut is the new BMW i Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) Concept – a custom-made complement to the BMW i3 Concept. BMW wants its fans and future customers to experience the benefits of electromobility on a day-to-day basis. By answering three of the most commonly asked electric vehicle questions. Can I carry all of my stuff and people to where we really need to go? Answer: the BMW i3 concept. I don’t need my car for short trips so what will help me with my “last mile”? Answer: the new BMW i Pedelec concept cycle. Finally, the age old question of can an alternative energy vehicle be sexy and fun? Answer: the always tantalizing BMW i8 sports car. The new BMW i3 Concept: generous feeling of space combined with a unique materials concept based around renewable raw materials. A mixture of leather, wood, wool and other renewable raw materials shapes the face of the BMW i3 Concept interior, the extensive use of natural fibres inside the car underlining the premium blueprint of BMW i. Bmw I Cars Headed To London Cars Bmw I Cars Headed To London Charging Bmw I Cars Headed To London Bike In Trunk BMW i has come up with an innovative two-wheeler, which acts as the perfect complement to the BMW i3 Concept and adds a new and convenient layer to personal mobility, particularly in urban areas. The new BMW i Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) Concept is a compact bicycle fitted with an electric motor that tops up the rider’s muscle power with an extra dose of torque. And that means the rider can get to other parts of town even more quickly and effortlessly – and without breaking into a sweat. The BMW i Pedelec Concept can be folded up almost in the blink of an eye and, handily, there is room for two of them in the boot of the BMW i3 Concept. Plus, their batteries can be recharged while they’re in there. BMW is also introducing a new way to think about the entire experience of owning or sharing an electric vehicle. Their 360° ELECTRIC product and service package is based on four main pillars: home charging, public charging, guaranteed mobility and, fourthly, integration with other innovative mobility concepts in order to overcome range restrictions. Services available to BMW i customers will include supply and installation of a home charging box, supply of green electricity, access to public charging points, comprehensive maintenance services and mobility guarantees, flexible carsharing solutions and helpful BMW apps for the computer and smartphone. Two areas of most concern is charging any electric/plug-in hybrid vehicle. Let’s face it not all locations have a plug ready for your car to sit by for a few hours. HOME CHARGING The driver will encounter one of the main differences between a conventional, combustion-engined vehicle and an electric vehicle when it comes to recharging. That said, in other areas of their daily life, drivers have long been used to recharging electric devices such as a mobile phone on a regular or as-needed basis. In the same way the BMW i3, too, can be recharged at any standard household power socket. For customers with their own garage or private parking place, BMW i will additionally offer BMW i Wallboxes which offer not only safer but also convenient and faster charging. Customers will be able to choose between a basic version for safe and convenient charging and a premium version for even faster, “smart” charging (for example charging can be managed in accordance with the current grid load). Optionally, BMW i can also provide an installation service for the BMW i Wallbox, which will be fitted by a trained specialist. And because sustainable electric mobility begins with sustainable electricity generation, BMW i can also help drivers who want to use renewable “green” electricity. To go with home charging, BMW i will also offer drivers a range of green electricity products supplied in cooperation with partners in the energy industry.

Next Ford Focus RS to Deliver 330 HP

Ford recently lanuched the new Focus ST on the market, but the Blue Oval hot hatch that everybody’s dreaming about is the RS. We’re here to give you the latest rumor on this and things are looking pretty good. The next Focus RS is expected to hide a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine under its hood, with the unit delivering 230 hp. Matthias Ton, the engineer who’s in charge of global performance vehicles at Ford, admits that the 2.0-liter turbo in the current ST, which delivers 247 hp, is too close to the limit in order to offer a substantial power and torque boost without having its turbo and fuel systems upgraded. Thus, is Ford gives the new RS the green light, we’ll get to see a 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine in action. The vehicle will probably still use just the front axle to deliver the power to the road (Ford previously said that it could offer 4WD on the RS, but won’t, as it considers that this would make it too expensive), with the car using a mechanical limited slip differential.

Nissan 370Z on Vossen CV3 Wheels

The Nissan 370Z is routinely being stumped upon by its American muscle car rivals in dynamic testing, but there’s still a lot that deserves to be said about about the mighty Z. Nissan is probably working on a turbocharged alternative that is more economical, but we and the Z’s fans like it just as it is. Since Nissan built the 370Z with plenty of swoops and sharp angles, there’s not a lot you can tune when it comes to the exterior without ruining it. However, slapping on a set of Vossen CV3 matte graphite concave wheels has improved it tremendously. As you can see, this bright red 370Z also rides lower on custom suspension, the perfect Japanese night prowler to cruise the streets in.

Hyundai Starts I30 Tourer Production

Production of New Generation i30 Tourer starts at Hyundai’s Czech factory. With the five-door mode already a success with 57,000 orders in Europe, things are looking good for the Czech-built wagon. Hyundai says it expects this new model to further boost sales of the i30 range by about a third. The i30 Tourer offers the same engine options as the hatchback, but it comes with a massive 528 liter boot, and a loading bay that can reach a massive 1,642 liters with the seats folded flat. “The launch of the Tourer is the next phase of the New Generation i30’s introduction to Europe, following the very positive reception for the five-door. It not only brings greater choice for consumers but also is a testament to the quality and importance of the teams at our European design, engineering and manufacturing facilities,” said Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Hyundai Motor Europe.

Gold BMW X6 Hamann Supreme Edition

By now, many of you have heard about the Tycoon Evo kit that Hamann sells with the BMW X5 M sports activity vehicle. But we found something that’s a bit different from that! It’s called the Supreme Edition and it combines gold wrap with carbon fiber and some strange wheels with a gold lip. Now, the car has been a bit reclusive and never made it into the made it into the attention of the media officially. But we managed to find it on Flickr, where photos of it in Nancy, in the French east. After that, it was spotted in Cannnes for the 65th film festival in May. Besides the obviously loud body kit, the Tycoon Evo M boosts the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 using a high-flow exhaust and a reprogrammed ECU. This means it’s got for 670 horsepower and a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of 4.2 seconds.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo packs 250 HP, available six-speed manual

There has been many a conversation about the Buick Verano around the proverbial water cooler here at Autoblog Towers. And while it isn't necessarily the type of vehicle you'd think a group of car enthusiasts would get excited about, those of us who have spent time with the Verano have all become quite smitten with it. Our only wishes: more power and a manual transmission. Enter the 2013 Verano Turbo, packing 250 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque and yes, an available six-speed manual transmission. This is perhaps the most excited we've been about a Buick in... um... decades? Powering the Verano Turbo is – you guessed it – General Motors' 2.0-liter Ecotec inline-four. Buick states that the turbocharged Verano can sprint to 60 miles per hour in just 6.2 seconds and that more than 90 percent of the engine's torque is available as low as 1,700 RPM. The Turbo model is packed with standard equipment, including all of the optional goodies found in the Leather and Convenience packages of the standard Verano. That means things like heated leather surfaces on the seats and steering wheel, a premium nine-speaker Bose audio system, sport pedals, dual exhaust and a rear spoiler are all standard, as well as Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system. Pricing will be announced closer to the Verano Turbo's on-sale date later this year. Considering how well-received the standard car is, and how good we anticipate the new Turbo model to be, we have to ask: Why buy a Regal these days? With how excellent the Verano range is shaping up to be, this seems like a clear-cut case of fratricide on Buick's part. 2013 Buick Verano Turbo Debuts with 250 Horsepower Award-winning engine at the heart of luxury sedan's effortless performance DETROIT – Buick today announced the 2013 Verano Turbo luxury sedan will be powered by an Ecotec 2.0L turbocharged engine with direct injection and continuously variable valve timing that produces an SAE-certified 250 horsepower (187 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. (353 Nm) of torque at 2000 rpm. Acceleration from 0-60 mph is an estimated 6.2 seconds. The Verano Turbo goes on sale later this year. More than 90 percent of the Verano Turbo's peak torque – more than 234 lb.-ft. – is available between 1700 to 5500 rpm. Its closest competitor, the 2013 Acura ILX 2.4L, offers a peak of 170 lb.-ft. of torque. "The 2.0L turbo engine was designed for refinement, higher output capabilities and reduced noise," said Amy Joss, Ecotec 2.0L assistant chief engineer. "The way it sounds, the power delivery and the refined character are all fitting of a luxury sedan with a fun side." In December, Buick's 2.0L turbocharged Ecotec engine was named one of WardsAuto World's 2012 10Best Engines for North America. At the time, the publication's editor-in-chief, Drew Winter, said: "This engine delivers a level of power and sophistication that redefines Buick." The choice to use a small-displacement turbocharged engine for a more powerful Verano model is consistent with Buick's effort to downsize its powertrains without sacrificing performance. Verano and the Regal luxury sport sedan are available exclusively with four-cylinder engines, while the LaCrosse luxury sedan comes standard with a four-cylinder engine paired with eAssist technology, which uses an electric motor and battery to boost both performance and fuel economy. The standard 2013 Regal four-cylinder engine also is equipped with eAssist. "Buick's engine strategy continues to be driven by intelligent performance," said Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick Marketing. "Four-cylinder engines, turbocharging and eAssist are all the right solutions for today's market. With these advanced technologies, Buicks are more efficient without sacrificing their smooth, quiet character." According to IHS Automotive, use of four-cylinder engines in North American vehicles will grow 74 percent from 6.9 million to 12.2 million units over the next 10 years. The Verano Turbo will be available with a choice of a six-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. Including Regal Turbo and Regal GS, the Buick brand offers more manual transmissions than Ferrari and Lamborghini combined. Acceleration performance is expected to be consistent between the two transmissions. Fuel economy numbers are not final, but the Verano Turbo is expected to be in line with Buick's other turbocharged models. Pricing will be announced closer to the start of production in late 2012.

Axe-Wielding Maniac Destroys Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Reports have surfaced about a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti that got destroyed over the weekend at a Scottish Ferrari dealership. How did it get destroyed? By an axe-wielding maniac apparently! It appears that a man got into the Graypaul Ferrari garage in Fort Kinnaird near Edinburgh and proceeded to smash the windows of the supercar with an axe. After causing around £40,000 worth of damage, the man slashed the tyres and fled the scene. The entire act was caught on CCTV. The car belonged to Rajinder Singh, a property developer from Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire who booked the car in to get a pump fixed. The Daily Record quotes him as saying: It is bad enough that this has happened but the garage have been useless. The whole thing is a bad joke. I gave the garage a car worth more than £200,000 and they give me back a car that is effectively written off. The police asked me if there could be anyone who has a grudge against me but the garage is miles from my home. No one would have known it was my car. The police say they have ­investigated, got no leads and say there’s nothing else they can do.

Brabus Vanish SL65 AMG Black Series

Show Motors in Dubai recently listed the one-off Brabus Vanish for sale. The Vanish was built for a special customer in Dubai on top of a Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. The car appears to be in perfect condition with 8,754km on the clock. The car features a matte grey exterior with a black alcantara interior and accented red stitching. The Vanish – named by the customer himself – features an upgraded gearbox, bigger brakes and bigger turbos that increase the total power output up to 800bhp. It has also had its catalysts removed, resulting in a louder sound produced from the stock exhaust system. The exterior has been modified with a carbon fiber bonnet. The brake calipers have Vanish written on them, same goes for the door sills. The matte grey exterior is a wrap which hides the original Pearl White paintwork. Brabus did produce a second tuned Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series in the form of the Brabus Stealth. This car featured a white exterior and almost identical upgrades to the Vanish. The listing does not disclose a price.

Renault Zoe Breaks 24H Distance Record

We are very eagerly awaiting the launch of Renault’s supermini EV, the Zoe, some time in the autumn of this year. It is a genuinely exciting car because it features Renault’s excellent styling language, a great interior, about 90 hp of instant and seamless oil-free power and 210 km (130-mile) of autonomy. On June 2nd, in Aubevoye, France, the Zoe broke the distance record for 24 hours. It managed to cover 1590 km (994 miles), surpassing the old record of 1241 km (776 miles). The car did not achieve this feat on a single charge, as you may have imagined - the car was recharged several times during the run, though it is unclear how or when, as the car had to average around 66 km/h (41 mph). This record does prove that the car can be driver for long periods of time and distances, and that batteries are indeed the main source of concern and doubt for possible future owners. However, with recent developments in battery technology, maybe this battery issue will be a thing of the past, soon!

Ford Focus ST: Performance and Economy Figures

We’ve already seen and heard plenty of figures about the Focus ST, Ford’s most important global performance car, developed by the SVT division. Ahead of the market rollout, the Blue Oval has now revealed more details about the car. We know for a fact now that in Britain it will be cheaper than a Renault Mergane RS. But let’s see how the acceleration stacks up. First off, the Focus ST will hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.5 seconds, while the top speed is an impressive 248 km/h (154 mph). That makes it a bit slower than the Megane RS, which plays with those six seconds a bit better. But to be fare Ford never set out to create a true rival for the Renault. Of far more importance is the fact that Ford expects the car to offer a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy over the previous generation, as the 250 horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine will reportedly do 7.2 l/100 km (39 mpg UK). Meanwhile CO2 emissions sit at only 169 g/km. So the car seems to strike a fine balance between economy and performance. “This is the car that performance Ford fans across the world have been waiting for,” said Matthias Tonn, chief program engineer, Ford of Europe. “We’ve worked hard to make sure drivers will experience the true essence of what the ST badge represents — wherever they are.” “This channels a really sporty note into the cabin,” said Tonn. “It leaves the driver in no doubt that this is a special car. The new Focus ST is improved over the previous European model in every department – and we had to ensure the sound was just as exciting for the driver too.”
