Mazda RX 8 2011 and Preview of Mazda RX 9 2013!!! (NEW)

MAZDA RX 8

Are you a type of person who likes sports and luxury car? If so, Mazda RX 8 might be the perfect choice for you. The Mazda RX-8 is a sports car manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation. The first version of the RX-8, chassis code SE3P, was produced from model year 2003.

This 4-passenger sporty car is very affordable sport car. From the first time appearance Mazda RX 8 has reached a big success, and it even has been featured in many movies, TV series, and video clip. One of the famous movies featuring this car is Need for Speed: Tokyo Drift and Desperate Housewives TV series.

 

Mazda RX-8 is a multi award-winning RENESIS rotary engine. This car won many international motoring awards including 2003 International Engine of the Year, the 2003 Japanese Car of the Year, Australia’s Wheels magazine’s Car of the Year for 2003, the 2004 Singapore Car of the Year, the 2004 U.S. Best Sports Car, and several UK Best Car Awards.

The company invested 40 years of new technology and unique development, and the result makes Mazda RX 8 is the best Japanese sports cars.

Mazda RX 8 is perfect for people with a young family or someone who need something sporty and luxury. This car provides a simple and functional interior design that supports driving pleasure. The stylish cabin is very luxury and high-end quality. I think with the specification, this car is still on budget for sport cars lover.

MAZDA RX 9 PREVIEW

Exterior and Interior

The new sports car will be built on an MX-5 chassis and will weigh no more than 1250 kilos, with a design language stemming from the company’s latest concept cars, including the Shinari which made its debut only two months ago.

We expect to see the company’s well known front grille and the "signature wing", new headlamps with LED lights, and a generally sporty appearance. For the interior, we hope to get sports seats, a sporty steering wheel, leather, and why not go ahead and throw in a few aluminum inserts.

The Engine

Under the hood, Mazda will place a 16X rotary engine rumored to be attached to an electric supercharger. This engine will feature an 800cc x 2 configuration, up from the current 13B’s 654cc x 2 format. It will deliver around 300 HP, while the fuel economy will be improved by 20%, leaving behind the main reason why the RX8 needed to be discontinued. The engine will be mated to a new twin-clutch, two-pedal six-speed transmission with a twist that allows drivers to set the revs at which the clutches engage.

It is also rumored that the RX-9 will be offered with a Honda-style gas/electric hybrid system that will not only include a regenerative braking system to charge the batteries when coasting and decelerating, but also an engine stop/start system that will help improve the fuel economy. This rumor has already been confirmed by a Mazda insider who in a previous interview said : "We’re testing the rotary in conjunction with technologies including an electric turbocharger."

The RX-9 will be offered with 17- or 18-inch wheels and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and stability/traction control.

The Competition

Compared to the RX-8 who targeted models like the Volkswagen Scirocco, the new RX-9 will focus on competing with models like the Nissan 370Z. Do we smell a Japanese sports car war? We think so. But let’s not let them have all the fun, German sports cars like the Audi TT will also have reasons to fear the new RX-9.

Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita 2010

When sunlight hits the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevitas, it sparkles like millions of silvery white diamonds infused inside the visible carbon fiber weave bodywork.

Trevita is an abbreviation in Swedish and translates into - three whites. The Koenigsegg visible carbon weave body work is renowned around the globe for its perfection and uniqueness. However, so far it has only been possible to utilize the classic black carbonfibres.

As Koenigsegg always strives to create new unique technologies and solutions, we have now reached a new milestone - The Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave.

By utilising a new and unique method, Koenigsegg has managed to coat fibers with a diamond finish. The process was fully developed at Koenigsegg headquarters in Ängelholm Sweden, where the fiber treatment is conducted carefully in small quantities, prior to further processing the prepreg material.

Koenigsegg will only produce three Koenigsegg CCXR Trevitas in total, hence the name. This makes the Trevita one of the most rare versions in the Koenigsegg family cars.

The three cars are fully equipped with Koenigsegg Shimmering Diamond Weave bodywork, double carbon wing, paddle-shift, inconell exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes with ABS, hydraulic lifting system, infotainment system, tyre monitoring system, chrono instrument cluster and airbags.

New Ferrari Enzo 2012..!!!

 

          Considered by many enthusiasts as the ultimate modern Ferrari, the limited-edition Enzo’s replacement will be a tough act to follow up for the Italian automaker. The second-generation Enzo, also named after the marque’s illustrious founder, promises to take performance – and, surprisingly, efficiency – to a new level. 

             Like the original Enzo, the car’s successor will be a range-topping supercar aimed at immortalizing the legendary founder of the brand. Available only to select current ferrari owners, the next-generation Enzo will serve as the brand’s performance and technology showcase. 

 Based – at least in concept – on the Ferrari Millechili show car (though the production Enzo replacement won’t carry that name), the performance car will be loaded with the technology learned from years of Formula 1 experience. 

 Expected to be powered by a mid-mounted V8 engine, rather than the Maserati-based V12 that motivated the Enzo, power should easily exceed 700 horsepower. Though fuel efficiency is hardly a Ferrari selling point, the car must conform to more recent European Union standards, meaning a new emphasis has been placed on reducing consumption. It has been rumored that Ferrari will use twin-turbocharging to make the most out of a smaller-displacement (think under 6 liters) V8 engine. 

  

          Key to addressing the fuel economy issue is a significant weight and size reduction, which should bring the car well down from the just-over 3,000 lbs. of its predecessor; rumors out of Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters indicate that weight could approach 2,200 lbs. Improved aerodynamics, including adjustable front and rear spoilers, will not only help the new Enzo stick to the road at maximum speeds, but it will also ensure reduced fuel consumption. 

          Its platform could go one of two ways: Either a heavily-modified version of the FXX race car’s architecture – itself a variation of the road-going Enzo – or a slightly longer derivative of the F430′s aluminum  space frame.Production will probably be at least as limited as the original Enzo, meaning no more than 400 of the 1 million Euro-plus supercars will emerge from Maranello when it goes on sale in over a year’s time.

BMW M6 Preview 2012

BMW is keeping a tight lid on the next generation 2012 M6, expected to debut summer, 2011. Rumored to be phased out in light of a super-sports car model to compete with the Audi R8, the 2012 BMW M6 may well be the last of its kind. However, leaks and spy photos indicate changes are already underway to develop the M6 into such a sports car powerhouse, whether the name ultimately changes.

Performance

Exact details of the 2012 M6 model are sketchy. Rumor has it the next generation will follow Formula 1 leads, with an upgraded 600 horsepower, 4.4-liter V-8 over the struggling V-10. Previous V-10 models featured dismally performing seven-speed automatic SMG and no noticeable power improvements over V-8s.

Prototype

The 2012 6 Series was featured as a concept car at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, but the M6 was notably absent.
However, prototypes of the new 2012 BMW M6 testing in Nurburgring have found their way into spy photos across the Internet. In fact, reported spy photos of the new M6 prototype suggest the 2012 model will include many of the same features found in the next generation 6 Series Grand Coupe.

Design

Featuring a more aggressively designed front end and an integrated diffuser in the rear bumper, the new 2012 M6 will also retain the quad exhaust and wide rear fenders for which the M Series is known. The front and rear end body changes allow for better airflow and less lift, to compliment the high-power twin-turbo V-8’s performance. A more sleek profile design coupled with the similar drivelines as the new M5, the next generation M6 could easily compete with Audi.

Engine

Choosing V-8s over V-10s, with 600 horsepower, and losing the SMG will no doubt improve performance on the 2012 M6. What F1 enthusiasts stand to lose in race-inspired sound, they gain in road-hugging response with no noticeable loss of power.

Safety Features

Safety feature information, while scant, indicates not much will change for the 2012 BMW M6. Stability control, hill assist, a lane departure warning system, front seat side airbags, front and rear curtain airbags will likely appear again in the new model.

How the 2012 BMW M6 Compares to Other Cars

Currently, the M6 is comparable in class and performance to Porche 911, Chevy Corvette, and Dodge Viper. However, with improvements to power and airflow, the M6 may soon compete with the Audi R8 and Mercedes-Benz CL class.
