Images of the production-ready Aston Martin Rapide have surfaced and it is as stunning as everyone had hoped it would be. The Rapide is expected to use a tuned version of Aston’s 500 hp 6.0 liter V12 which should take the car to a top speed of over 180 mph. If the boys from Stuttgart are reading this, take notes because this is a defining example of how to design a four-door supercar.

The styling and design of the car give it a futuristic look. To give the sports car a more exciting sound the Brabus electronics specialists have developed a ‘space sound generator.’ The occupants on-board the Tesla Roadsters can choose from several simulated engine sounds that include a typical V8 combustion engine, a racecar engine and two futuristic sounds capes named ‘Beam’ and ‘Warp.’ The volume of the sound is dependent on the momentary power output of the electric motor. The custom interiors were made from lightweight leather and Alancatara and the white seams in the cockpit reflect the exterior color beautifully. This special ultramodern car is definitely a class apart with its innumerable features. This car guarantees to grab attention no matter where you go.

The SsangYong Rexton R-Line is a special edition of the Korean SUV that will be sold in the United Kingdom. It has several cosmetic changes that give it a much more sporty and aggressive.

It is played with the contrast of black (even the moons dimmed) with aluminum and chrome. A good example of this are the tires of 22 inches Kahn Design, surpassed only by exaggeration in the four exhaust tails that seem designed to launch tennis balls.

The interior seats are leather and Alcantara, in black with red stitching. The only options in this release are the rear wing and a browser with Kenwood touch screen.

Its engine is a 2.7 five-cylinder, 186 hp power, with T-Tronic automatic change of Mercedes origin and cams on the steering wheel. It takes traction to all four wheels permanently.

“In the Passat BlueMotion II”, says Dr. Martin Winterkorn, chairman of Volkswagen Group. “The technological components of the BlueMotion concept are being merged with those of the entirely new BlueTDI system for the first time.”

Passat BlueMotion II combines various technologies to achieve numbers such as 109 g/km on CO2 emissions, an average of 4.1 litres per 100km of fuel and a range of over 1700 kilometres from a tank of diesel. Never before have we seen such numbers from a car the size of Passat, so it will be informative to see if they achieve them and exactly how. The technologies to be employed – the car is still in testing – shall include the usual suspects, such as an Automatic Start/Stop system, brake energy regeneration, common rail TDI and a transmission with longer gear ratios.
