McLaren Special: Rendering

Even though the result of the McLaren MP4-12C was rather dissapointing considering McLaren’s formidable reputation for speed – 7:28 Nurburgring lap time, and even though the vehicle also had to deal with the safety issues that have recently plagued its existence, the company has already started to work its way past these problems and have even laid out a number of variants that will hopefully hit the market at a faster rate with better results.

It is common knowledge that McLaren will update the software needed to fix the problems, and we never thought different, reason for which we will not follow others example and make an enormous mess about some trouble the automaker truthfuly got itself in.

Which model will be the first to hit the market remains unknown, unfortunatelly, but what isn’t unknown is that McLaren has three options in their automotive pockets to dazzle the crowds in their chosen auto show: the McLaren MP4-12C Spider, the McLaren MP4-12C GT version, and the new successor for the F1 supercar, being called the McLaren MegaMac.

Until everything will be revealed and there will not be any more secrets to keep, renderings for all three modelsare available now, in order to soothe our pain of not knwing.

2014 Mitsubishi Evo X1 Diesel

Osamu Masuko is the honorable president of Mitsubishi and he has declared so far that the company will launch a car with a hybrid powerplant to release the good amount of torque for activating wheelbases of the car. The vehicle will have the properly tuned car upgradation tools which will be installed into the engine compartment of the car. Evo X variant will be totally upgraded with properly upgraded tools to bring more glamour to the vehicle. According to experts, this time, the company has the resolution to heighten the quality of drive-train and dampers to check the friction via absorption of the shock. However, at the same time the vehicle will have street navigation accessories. Diesel fed engine will be more user-friendly and more competent. The sprinting time of the car will be 5 seconds to cover 100 km.
The fact is that after the upgradation of the car, experts will exhibit the one-off vehicle in the market for public display. The car will have higher competency to cover the long distance in time. The vehicle will have a fully power generating unit. The car wheels will be rimmed with tire bands to assist the street navigation properly. The negative camber of the car wheels is higher whereas the positive camber is in tune.
The other technical specifications include retractable car seats, upholsters and other tools like an odometer, speedometer and a tachometer. The glass insulated windshields are durable and transparent. The rate of carbon emission is low and the vehicle will run faster than its rivals.
Evo XI diesel fed car will have powerful engine with durable automatic transmission. The damper will have competency to check the over friction of the wheels with street surface. The car will have air inlets, ultra-light trapezoidal grilles and lamp bezels. The vehicle will have properly upgraded LED based tailboard lamps and a boot lid. The vehicle is eco-friendly.

Hennessey HPE700 Camaro

Drooling again? That's alright; the thought of a new Camaro powered by the Corvette ZR1's supercharged LS9 V-8 has that effect. And that's exactly the car that Hennessey Performance Engineering of Sealy, Texas, plans to build. Although a stock LS9 makes plenty of power (638 bhp), Hennessey says it took only "minor tweaking" for the supercharged V-8 in the upcoming HPE700 to produce 705 bhp and 717 lb.-ft. of torque.

The LS9, a GM engine, is a natural fit in Hennessey's Camaro, which will have a ZR1-inspired hood design with a clear window to show off the hot V-8. With full suspension upgrades, 15-in. carbon-ceramic brakes from the ZR1, a custom body kit and Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, the HPE700 will be pricey ("north of $100,000," says John Hennessey), but we get the sense it will be a phenomenal car. Why? Well, for one thing, HPE has hired recently retired GM engineering ace John Heinricy to help develop all the company's Camaros, which will be available in stages that vary from mild to wild. What's more, a July testing trip to the Nürburgring is on the agenda.

2013 Infiniti G Coupe

The first reports concerning the next-generation Infiniti G sedan and coupe, codenamed V37, have trickled into the R&T offices. The exterior body style was approved recently by Nissan design chief Shiro Nakamura. We hear from sources inside Nissan’s design studio that the new G, especially the coupe version, will borrow heavily from the styling of the Essence show car, which we saw at the Geneva Motor Show last March.
Around that time, the Financial Times reported that Nissan and Daimler were working together on a future luxury car. We hear that this joint project is the G Coupe (not so much the sedan). Our sources say that the next Infiniti G Coupe will be powered by Mercedes-Benz’s 3.5-liter V-6, with a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V-6 as an option for Europe. In other markets, including the U.S., it will be available with the M Hybrid’s gas-electric system and AMG’s 5.5-liter V-8 that will produce upward of 360 bhp. The latter will most likely wear the IPL (Infiniti Perform­ance Line) badge and go after BMW 6 Series and Maserati GranTurismo customers. While the base G sedan is expected to come with a mid-$30,000 price tag, you can expect the hybrid version to be priced near $55,000 and the V-8-powered Coupe to cost around $70,000. There is the slight possibility that Infiniti will decide to build a coupe version of the M sedan, and place the V-8 (or even a more powerful engine, perhaps the 6.2-liter AMG V-8) under its hood. But one Nissan insider says that the company’s priority is to bring glory back to the Skyline appellation (the G in Japan is called the Skyline) after it was dropped from the GT-R’s name with the R35. Look for the new G sedan and coupe to appear in 2013.

Volkswagen Phaeton Due In 2015 revised edition

After the success of Volkswagen Phaeton on its introduction last summer the company has planned to come with a luxurious big size model by 1015. As the end of the earlier ill-Phaetoned run in the U.S., there have been many rumors of its comeback. In spite of exiting America, the Phaeton has sold all over the world. In other places it is sold and as per the American beliefs it hasn’t been dead, just gone. The third generation of the car will hit the market in the year 2015 as reported by a Car Magazine.
From the launching plan of the company we can expect that this model will be a 2016 model that will be equipped with upgraded technicalities to suit the roads in the year 2016. The revised edition will be highly inspired by the modular platforms from Audi, with “wide-ranging” use of aluminum and plug-in fusion options both possibly. A five-door coupe alternative, very similar to BMW’s 5-Series GT, or perhaps more correctly, the Audi A7, could also expect from the new Phaeton.
But it is still a mystery, that how this new car model will be able to make its place in the market amidst existing Volkswagen Group vehicles. Though, the company have disclosed it plan of 2016, yet they have revealed nothing about its form factor and price structure of this edition.
According to the company reports, the design of this new model is almost decided. The exterior appearance was planned to be revealed in the Frankfurt Auto Show earlier this month, but later the plan was changed to keep the airwaves exclusive. In its place, the Phaeton preview, dubbed Concept D, was premiered some where else. May be in Los Angeles?
Whatever is the case, we will continue keeping in touch with the company in order to bring more updated information about the car.
