It has an ability of Love at First Sight. It is a car so rare that only 6 pieces have been made so far. This car is from the French automaker Citroen and is proudly known as Citroen GT.In the design phase there are no doubts that this has been by far made one of the best designed cars in the world. The front end is so bizarre that you can not figure out where to start from. The front air intake has been installed between sleek sheets of body also covering and making the shape of the lights in the process. The hood features a single strip of vinyl in grey making the look of the GT better. The headlamps have been fitted with blue LEDs which together light the road efficiently.

Well the racing movie “Redline” gained a lot of hype. Now I personally would say that was not because of the plot or any thing else relating to the film. That was totally because of the cars used in the movie. And I would say that the producers were better off in buying the cars rather than making the movie. Not being so yappy about the movie, I would like to remind you that one of the main cars that made the spotlight for Redline was Saleen S7. Even apart from Hollywood it is such a big whiz in the world of cars.

As always from Saleen this flagship car has been made like hell good. And not forgetting that it is currently one of the best supercars on the planet. The body of the car is impressively made entirely out of carbon fiber. The scoops and spoilers have been added to increase the air flow and ultimately increasing the performance. The interior of the Saleen S7 has been made so greatly that one does not want to go out of the car once in. The interior has been made out of leather and aluminum accents. The interior has also been topped up with a LCD monitor along with a rear view camera.

The performance has been given such grace that one rev of the engine takes one’s breath away. The engine of Saleen S7 is a 7 Liter V8 engine fitted at a 90° angle. The naturally aspirated engine is capable of producing 550 horsepower at 6400 RPM. The Saleen S7 reaches 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds before shooting up to its top speed of 240 mph. One word for this ultimate supercar from my side will be: “Awesome”!

Raw power is actually what feeds a drag racer and it is also quite an important diet for the regular racers too. Just imagine going on a machine filled with pure horsepower and the sound of the engine that comes out when you step on the accelerator. Only a few cars come under the dragster’s list and one of the best in the line is the all new Ford Mustang.Ford had shown us this piece of beauty in 2008 and the production time has just arrived.The design of the Ford Mustang has improved quite a lot for our astonishment. The Ford Mustang returns with a muscular physique and also along with that a more aerodynamic body. The lights of the Mustang have also been redesigned to give a crystal outlook and the turn indicators are integrated in the lights as well. The indicators are special LEDs that blink in sequence doing their job. The new Mustang has been fitted with fog lights on its front grill as the predecessor and on the GT edition the fog lights have been placed on the lower side of the grill. The trunk release has been changed from a key hole to a remote release edition.

The performance has been kept up to the racing stallion. The Mustang is equipped with a 4.6 Liter V8 engine giving you nothing but horsepower. The engine is capable of producing up to 315 bhp at an engine speed of 6000 RPM. The exhaust tips have been increased quite a lot. Ford’s AdvanceTrac has been installed for better stability and traction. This is operated when the user switches on a Sport Mode. So as the racing stallion has been upgraded it is like racing on a whole different level now. So you better strap up your self for more adrenaline boy!

Concept cars are flooding in the market like a tsunami. This is happening because companies want to give us something new every other year, basically to keep the flow going. Creating concepts is an easy job, but to keep the style up to date and getting the concept into production is quite a difficult job. Even if they do not get in to production phase they still entice you at least once before going away. Previously one concept was presented by Mazda and it quite fired up to the critics and the market with its design. This concept is called Furai.

Apart from the sexy and dangerous name the Furai promises to offer you a lot more than just fancy stuff. The design has been made with reference to its name. The name: “Furai” means sound of the wind. And the design has been made quite sleek like the wind too. Furai takes its roots from the Nagare concept line and shows the same spirit and fury. The curves in this car have just been made breath taking. The lights of the Furai have been made as anime eyes or curves too. The rear end of the Furai takes one mind out of the real world too. The rear end is equipped with bizarre lights and a really cool exhaust in the middle. The Furai also gives you a great rear end spoiler too.

The performance of the Furai is also quite astonishing. With such a great exterior one thinks that the performance would have been neglected or so. But that is not the case. The chassis is made out from a former Mazda LeMans car. The engine uses flex fuel which includes the normal petrol and ethanol fuel. The engine is a 3 Rotor Wankel engine giving out 450 horsepower. A little is known about the Furai at this stage but it still leaves a never ending impression. So in coming times when you hear the winds remember Furai is brining some rubber!

Inspiration leads to many great feats. And in the world of cars it is the thing providing us with the best cars for the future. This is usually because the experience and outcome of the root car is improved and redesigned to give more than ever. Well one of the car that inspired a currently produced supercar is the Ford GT 40. If we compare both the cars we will come to know that the racing gene has been perfectly transferred in the new super car commonly known as the Ford GT. And there is no doubt that the Ford GT is an awesome supercar.Produced as a halo car, Ford leaves no exception in keeping the Ford GT the best of their line. The new Ford GT is 3 Inches taller than its predecessor the GT 40. The designing has also been picked up a basic design of the old GT 40. But Ford has kept it up to the date with installing in it a unique hood with air inlets that help cool the engine. The Ford GT also has intakes just beside its doors too. Custom made round fog lights have been added in the front bumper. Apart from that the Ford GT comes with racing stripes on it making it look just as sporty.

The performance of the Ford GT being a supercar is just as interesting. The Ford GT derives performance from a 5.4 Liter V8 engine made entirely from aluminum. This allows for the power output to reach up to 550 hp. The braking system has been created by Brembo and features its calipers and rotors. The fuel system is custom capless filler made by Ford itself. All this combine to remind us of the GT 40, by which the Ford GT lives today!

It has been quite a time that we listened from Hyundai. And really after the awesome cars they gave us, the market looked quite empty without a Hyundai roaming through it. But the wait is over. Old times have been revived bringing back the street legend. It amazed us before and has come back again for wining our hearts. This car is known as the Hyundai Coupe or popularly known as the Hyundai Tiburon. As always Tiburon has been there as a racer’s dream and has fulfilled their needs always. This time it aims for further goals.

Hyundai Tiburon has been made entirely for practicality and alongside that racing addiction. The design has been derived from a basic of a fastback. The car has been made like a shark which roots to the meaning of its name. The front end of the Tiburon features a thin headlight designed to be more aggressive than the previous ones and come in a smoked shade. Streaming side skirts have been installed in the new Tiburon completing the new look. The front end has been cleared off from the “gill fins”. The fog light has been placed just like on the 2002 Tiburon. The interior has also been given a new aluminum accent. The gauges have gotten a blue backlight for the latest model.

I do not think that the Italians would rest at any minute. By now so many companies have been developed in Italy that when one company’s car goes old another one is launched. So that ultimately gives us lots and lots of cars. One of the companies that click in one’s head when Italy is named is Alpha Romeo. This company has given us a lot of performance based street cars as well as race track cars too. One of its latest inventions has now stepped up to the challenge and that is known as the Alpha Romeo 8C.

Coming out as a sports car the Alpha Romeo 8C proves that the Italians are working had so far. The designing of the 8C has been done quite amazingly. The body shell of the 8C has been made entirely out of carbon fiber keeping the weight as low as possible. The front end of the sports car has been added with awesome lights including three different projectors in one headlight. The air intake has been designed quite smoothly too. On the front grill two fog lights have been attached giving the front end a complete look. The rear phase of the 8C has been kept up quite good too. The lights of the 8C are round in shape with a chrome outing. The exhaust has been placed with a 2+2 configuration with dual exhausts on each end.

The performance of the 8C does not disappoint either. The engine of the 8C has been designed by Ferrari as a 4.7 Liter V8 placed on a 90 degree platform. The V8 engine gives a maximum power output of 450 Horsepower. The engine reaches the maximum power output at 7000 RPM. The 8C is capable of reaching a top speed of 181 mph as said by the manufacturer. The 8C has proved it self worthy of being an Italian racing car. And has kept up Romeo’s pride!

The Italians have done it again. Well I think I should start an “Inspiration Series”, because inspired cars just keep getting better and better with the Germans then the Italians and so on. The Italians have got quite a brotherly network in the auto making business. Ferrari a leading company in the business has co worked with Maserati to create a new supercar and as brothers they do not want to disappoint each other’s customers. So with two hands together we are presented the Maserati MC-12.

The Maserati MC-12 has a lot to offer you guys for sure. Even with such a basic design the Maserati MC-12 dazzles one’s mind off. The basic platform for the MC-12 is a two door sports coupe featuring a hard top roof or what is known as a targa top. The body of the MC-12 is made entirely of carbon fiber, reducing weight drastically. To further reduce some weight the detachable roof has to be stored some where else but no in the car. The car itself is quite gigantic too, for better stability. The MC-12 stands wider than a Hummer H2 and in the length phase it’s quite larger than the inspired Ferrari Enzo.

Well the performance is not up to its roots, Ferrari Enzo but it still packs a punch. The MC-12 brings with it a 6 Liter V12 engine derived from Enzo Ferrari. The engine has been given some custom touches to produce one of Maserati’s wishes. The MC-12 gives out 621 brake horse power at 7500 RPM. This power allows the MC-12 to attain a top speed of 205 mph. As I had always said that inspiration leads to quite a lot of great things and one of them is in front of you!

Well supercars are derived from two things: Power and Style. And these are the two things which drive a racer’s heart. Super cars do not usually come cheap in reality. You have to have a really big heart to spend on their expenses. But there is one car that is not as expensive as the others and it still provides you with power and speed. And that proud not little car is known on the Chevrolet’s language as the Vette or by the common name of Corvette. The Chevrolet designers were too bored of the last Corvette C6. So they have decided to launch a new one known as the Corvette ZR-1.

The designing has been given quite a lot of attention. The chassis of the ZR-1 is made entirely of aluminum. Many panels including the hood and the roof have been made out of carbon fiber to reduce the overall weight. The hood has been changed to that with a polycarbonate window which allows a view of the new intercooler.  On the intercooler inscriptions can be seen showing words: “LS9 Supercharged”. On the rear end the spoiler size has been increased than the previous one. The lights have also been given some remodeling basically giving a crystal retro effect.

The performance phase of the ZR-1 has been designed to give more output than that of the C6. It features a modified version of the LS 3 engine proudly known as the LS 9 giving out 638 units of horsepower. This has made the ZR-1 the most powerful Corvette up to date. Intercoolers have been added made by Behr featuring new technology. The power is transmitted through a 6-speed Manual Tremec transmission. So as you now know that the Corvette Labs provide you more than a common car for a low price.

We see many sexy cars on the road every day. And many of them are seriously eye popping. Well that what we see are awesome pieces of art. And let me remind you most of the pieces of art on the roads are made by Pininfarina. This firm has dedicated to give you many presents in the form of cars. One of their new prides standing as proud as its sister productions is the Maserati Gran Turismo. Designed by Pininfarina for Maserati this car keeps up the image of the cars you would love to see.

Firstly about the design: ” Amazing” is the only word for it and still it does not quite fills in what the Gran Turismo has to offer. The Gran Turismo is as long as the luxury Quattroporte and is amazingly a two door car. The amazing thing about it is that it includes four different seats. The exterior has been made so sexy that there are no words to describe it. The lights come out as one hell of a design representing the true glory and pride of a Grand Tourer. The rear side has Tetra exhaust featuring a pair on each end. Along with this are triangular LED lights that complete the image of the Gran Turismo.

The Maserati Gran Turismo also features quality performance too. Giving you a custom engine designed by Maserati itself, the Gran Turismo comes with a 4.7 Liter V8 engine. This facilitates the Gran Turismo to produces 440 hp and astonishing 300 kW of raw power. The Gran Turismo transmits the power through an electro-actuated gear box along with a Transaxle layout.
