Red Bull X2014 Competitor?

Design by Jihoon Seo

If you are disappointed by the looks of the 2014 F1 cars, and there's a good chance you are, here's something really different. Designed with the same spirit as the Adrian Newey's Red Bull X2014, this McLaren concept F1 car is pure fantasy. So even if we won't see something like this on the race track in the near future, it would be nice to have a competitor for the Red Bull X2014 in the virtual world! Kazunori San, what are you waiting for?

Audi Quattro Concept Updated With Laser Lights For CES2014


Audi released new pictures of its Quattro Concept car which might not look different at first glance. The updated model came in fact to showcase Audi's new laser lights system at the 2014 CES show. The Ingolstadt car maker is not the first to announce laser lights for its future models. And the reason for that is that laser lights are more compact and also more effective than LEDs. There's no word on the power train since but we do get the chance to see some interior shots.

But the real question is, are there any chances that the Quattro concept gets produced? More pictures of the beautiful Audi in the gallery below.

2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Prototype Sold for $200k


This beautiful orange Mustang Cobra Jet prototype (SN #2014 BJMS CJXX1) was sold at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas for $200k. That's a $100k more than the asking price which will be going to aid the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We would like to congratulate the anonymous buyer who thanks to his generous offer became an honorary member of Team Mustang. That allows him to keep an eye on the latest developments made in Ford's production and racing departments.

Jaguar Project 7 Concept development [VIDEO]


Remember that time when Jaguar was losing money and lost its identity? Well that time is gone. Thanks to cars like the F type and the C-X75 concept. The British brand finally reaffirmed its identity and with cars like the Project 7 concept, it only continues to go in the right direction.

In the video below, Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum highlights the development of this amazing car. The Project 7, may I remind you, is powered by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine producing 550 HP and 680 Nm of torque. It sends it power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed Quickshift transmission. That enables the single seater F type to complete the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in 4.2 seconds and hit an electronically-limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).

Caterham AeroSeven Concept


Introduced earlier this month at the Frankfurt Motor show, the AeroSeven concept is powered by a bespoke 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ford engine producing 237 Hp and sending power to the rear wheels through a 6-spped manual transmission. That's enough power to propel the lightweight machine from naught to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4 seconds.

Aesthetically, the big change in the two big slices of bodywork that have been optimized by the F1 team's CFD software. The car will also be equipped all srts of electronic aids including traction control, launch control and ABS brakes..

What do you think of Caterham's new AeroSeven concept car? Do you think it's a revolution or just a Caterham Seven wrapped in two pieces of bodywork?

Audi Nanuk Supercar: Perfect for Dakar?


SUVs are big, ugly, heavy, impractical and incapable on rough surfaces. But what if Audi changed that? The Audi Nanuk is meant to be an all-terrain supercar. And isn't that the true meaning of the word 'Supercar'? A super fast, super capable machine? I want this car to become a reality as much as I hate SUVs, and I hate them a lot!

One more thing, someone needs to have enough balls and make those rear view cameras a reality once and for all.

Okay, you can forget all the shit I said about the Lamborghini Ecosta Egoista. This thing looks insane, and in ten years or so, we will all be grateful it exists.

Lamborghini ends its Celebrations with the <s>Ecosta</s> Egoista Concept


Even compared to Lamborghini standards, the Veneno's styling was outrageous. However, it remains a beautiful surprise and a good way to mark the 50 years of the Italian supercar maker. But you'll be struggling to find the beauty in this new Lamborghini concept dubbed Ecosta Egoista. We thought that Lamborghini already showed us its crazy side with the Veneno and we were all convinced. But to me this looks so wrong, unfinished and I don't think those shapes will make up for something aerodynamic either.

I'm not sure what Lamborghini is willing to demonstrate with this concept, but the Veneno would have been a great way to end the 50 years celebrations. So unless it looks better from other angles, I'm going to forget about this concept and wait for the Gallardo replacement...

Unique Lamborghini Pregunta Prototype For Sale


This unique Lamborghini Pregunta Concept was built back in 1998 on a Diablo platform and introduced at the Paris Motor Show the same year. It is powered by a V12 producing 530 Hp and sending power to the rear wheels. It has a top speed of 333 Km/h (207 mph).

This concept was made by the French Carrosserie Heuliez back when Audi still hasn't purchased the Sant'Agata supercar maker. So if you want to own a very rare piece of Lamborghini's history, you'll have to pay a reported 1.6 million euros, a value that can only rise with time...

Some of you might spot some similarities with the Veneno hypercar introduced at Geneva Motor Show last month. Check out the gallery below and see if you agree.
