Chris — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:44:40 +0000

The 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible is the fastest Corvette convertible ever made and it can thank the mighty Z06 for that. Under the hood is the same 427 cubic-inch V8 putting out 505 horsepower and 470 lbs. of torque. It has the same rear axles as the Z06 and also features the same magnetic ride control system. It also has in common that it's only available with a 6 speed manual transmission. 0-60mph is expected to come in 3.8 seconds and acceleration will continue to over 190mph!

Another great looking concept from Lexus. It will be hybrid-powered but that's about all Lexus gave away on what would be under the hood. There certainty looks to plenty of room there.

2015 Acura NSX Concept – Please Build This One!

It's hard to get excited about an NSX concept these days since there's been so damn many of them since Acura ended production of the original NSX back in 2005. But this one is different. All those concepts seem to have paid off as the latest iteration is one sexy machine.

As with the original NSX, the latest concept focuses on lightweight handling fun. Like the original model, the NSX features a mid-mounted naturally aspirated V6 engine but with a twist; Acura's engineers added the firm's Sport Hybrid SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) hybrid system that utilizes three electric motors.

The next VTEC V6 engine comes with direct-injection and is linked to a dual clutch transmission with built-in electric motor. In addition, two-motor electric-drive unit can provide torque to the front wheels during cornering to improve handling.

Definitely did not expect to see one this soon! I was walking around town and couldn't believe my eyes! Looks so amazing in person, I only wish I had a better camera than my phone at the time.

2011 Gumpert Apollo

Chris — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:44:39 +0000

The Apollo is considered by some to be one of the ugliest supercars ever created but the Apollo was never about beauty, it was about achieving the highest level of performance possible. Its aerodynamic styling and low weight of 2645 lbs. show it means business.

The standard Apollo comes with an Audi sourced 4.2 liter twin-turbo V8 putting out 650 hp. It's that not enough, the Apollo S bumps the horsepower up to 750. The Apollo S hits 60mph in a standstill in 3 seconds flat, 120mph in 8.8 seconds and continues all the way up to 224mph.

The Apollo is the definition of race car for the street. The chassis is identical to the race version and the interior could in no way be confused with a luxury car. That being said, it still features air conditioning, a dvd player, and customers can design the interior to fit their preferences
