Our 'Rides' Section contains 243 articles.The cool, blue-against-white theme might remind you about the Vision EfficientDynamics Concept from BMW but that’s where the similarity ends. This Audi A9 Concept is the brainchild of Spanish designer Daniel Garcia. I love the car’s flattened profile and its cabin forward design. Plus, those electroluminescent wheels definitely get the thumbs up. The …
The 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS is claimed to be the most powerful, street legal Porsche ever. Consider that the current GT2 gives away 90 horses to this upcoming model; that’s 620 total hp to help it go from standstill to sixty miles per hour in just 3.4 seconds. It flats out at …
Apparently, German tuner Wheelsandmore have made it their goal to squeeze just a bit more fun out of exotic supercars. Take, for instance, this Bentley Continental Supersports, whose 12-cylinder power plant’s output they’ve upped to 702 hp. I know, the stock 630 hp just won’t cut it, right? They’ve aptly named their creation …
BMW sees it fit to commemorate their quadruple victory at the 1st Gran Premio Brescia delle Mille Miglia, 70 years ago last April, by releasing the 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive35is Mille Miglia Limited Edition. The event became a milestone for the company as it took not only first place, but third, fifth and sixth …
Citroën’s latest concept, the Citroën Metropolis, is huge, sleek and blinged out with shiny and shimmering accents to whet our appetites. Industry observers were quick to note similarities in the design elements found on last year’s GTbyCitroën concept. Not much info has been released regarding this new vehicle except that it is a …
Gruppo Bertoni describes their latest design brainchild, the Alfa Romeo Pandion, as “an extreme and controversial sports car in typical Bertone fashion.” And, looking at this vehicle’s doors, it doesn’t get any more extreme; the whole side of the car, from the front to the rear fender, swings upward to allow entry into …
Thus far, four door coupes have held their own against other popular auto body styles. We’re seeing how MB’s CLS-Class and Porsche’s Panamera have been steadily growing their respective shares of the luxury car market. Last weekend, it was the boys from Munich who showed the auto industry how to do it four door …
The inverted, triangular grille is unmistakably Alfa Romeo and the beautifully innovative styling comes courtesy of Pininfarina. This is the Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta; a joint project to celebrate the centenary of the Italian automaker and the 80th anniversary of the prolific design house. The best aesthetic elements for me are the twin rear …
Mercedes-Benz will be unveiling its CLS Shooting Break Concept in Asia this month, more specifically at the Beijing Motor Show next week. This wagon capitalizes on four-door coupe body type and effectively, in my opinion, merges past and present. I especially like how MB has combined the hatchback design and aggressive looking tail lights …
Turkish designer Ugur Sahin’s Aston Martin Gauntlet is a concept design proposal which, in my honest opinion, should be given serious attention by the British manufacturer. The car’s front grille and general shape are the only clues that will lead you to think that it is an incarnation of a motoring legend, and a …
The Hi-Bike Concept utilizes a minimalist approach so that it looks like a half-finished prototype. Italian designer, Peter Dudas, actually breathes minimalist; it is his specialty. If you’re looking at this and thinking: what are the spokes made of – ultra light, ultra thin, invisible-to-the-naked-eye, space age material? Well, there aren’t any. The Hi-Bike …
Take a look at the M-Org Custom Motorcycle Concept that’s shown here. If you’re like me, you’ll probably go over the photos several times, poring over every detail and just saying: “Cool!” The M-Org is a design by Michael Smolyanov who describes such processes as using fluorine to “destruct the organics and process the …
MB fans are excited because the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe’s coming has been made official. The 2-door incarnation of the German brand’s compact executive model will be manufactured at their Bremen plant. Industry insiders are actually eager to find out how the next C-Class Coupe will differ in looks when compared to the …
Count on Nissan to think out of the box – no, make that out of this world – in terms of new vehicle design. What you see here is the soon-to-be-released Nissan Juke – a radical interpretation of what results when, as the company puts it, SUV meets sports car. Looking for the …
Closely following BMW’s unveiling of their Motorsport Z4 GT3, Mercedes-Benz, in collaboration with AMG, presents the SLS AMG GT3. It uses the same 6.3-liter V8 engine with the ultimate power output yet to be determined by the FIA. Looking at the stills, one can easily see how the wide, aerodynamically shaped body will …
It’s big, muscular and, in spite of the crimson color that you see in these images, this car is green. It’s the Citroen GQ Concept plug-in hybrid. The styling is just a tad aggressive but I foresee it holding its own when set side-by-side with other green racers. Yes, it’s able to offer …
It looks like the Swedes are hard at work developing a new compact crossover that’s based on the current Volvo C30 hatchback. Industry insiders also believe that it will borrow certain styling elements from the XC60 CUV. There seems to be a growing trend among European automakers to come up with their respective entries …
