Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Lamborghini presented the first official photos of Murcielago LP640 Roadster. So, I am going to offer you the pleasure of watching this beauty. This super car offers a V12 in PS engine, 640 hp at 8,000 rpm, while the torque grows from 650 to 660 Nm at 6,000 rpm and many other improvements and a beautiful facelift. Murcielago LP640 is expected at the beginning of 2007 at a £200,000 price.

Peugeot Spider 207

Races mark will be richer with one model and that is Spider 207, produced by PSA. Although its front size is the same as for its similar concept- 20 Cup, the new French creation is unique, by having 4 wheels instead of 3. Unlike 908 V12, it will be presented in other races, where the cost will be cheaply. That is the reason why this concept has many characteristics from all Peugeot models. Brake discs are from 407, direction system is a hybrid from 206 and 407, and the cooling system with the turbo propeller (EP6 DTS code) of 1.6 litres, with 16 valves, which develops 175 hp are from 207.

Citroen C-Metisse

Citroen C-Metisse has an unconventional propulsion system, containing the same HDi from C6 (V6, 2.7 litres, 208 hp) and 2 electrical engines that make the back wheels to keep on rolling. These 2 electrical engines develops (together) 20 hp, but the torque is higher, of 400 Nm! So, we have to see this concept only at Auto Shows, because I don’t think Citroen C-Metisse will be on our streets. But I surely want that!

Ascari A10

British producer for sport cars, Ascari presents a new model made to compete with Ferrari Enzo FXX. But, as we all know, Ferrari FXX it can’t be driven on streets and the British product is a road-legal one. Of course, there must be a problem the price, € 522,000 and even so, there is much less than the price for Ferrari FXX. The body is built of carbon fibre and weight only 1.2 tones. It accelerates at 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and gets to 160 km/h in less than 6 seconds. Another bad news is that if you want to buy one, you have to hurry, because will be built only 10 pieces.

392 Hemi Dodge Challenger

Based on the concept that will appear on public roads, the Americans have developed a race version, named 392 Hemi Dodge Challenger Super Stock, presented at SEMA tuning show. With this Dodge, its creators want to resolve 2 problems: to prove how good looks a tuned Challenger and to presents the new creation of MOPAR division. It’s about the new V8 propeller of 6.4 litres (or 392 cubic inches), which develops 540 hp and 664 Nm, even on series models.
