Renault Neptun


The Renault Neptun is a luxury coupe concept vehicle inspired by sea waves. The author is Romanian designer Dragos Pop.
The design of the Neptun is inspired by the movements and the power of sea waves. The main goal of the fluid and strong lines and exterior proportions is to express power and distinction.
As Dragos explains, “When I started to work on this project I tried to capture the spirit of a powerful sea wave, that is beautiful to look at, but powerful enough to demand respect.”
“That is why I named it Neptun, after the Roman God of the Sea.”
The Neptun is targeted to upper-class customers, who want their car to be elegant and refined without being too eye-catching.
“The probable competitor products would be the Mercedes SLR and the Aston Martin Vanquish.”
You can find lots of car models available at motors.co.uk, including lots of renaults. You can visit the site to find out what they have available before researching further.

Lincoln MKT


The Lincoln MKT concept features Lincoln’s signature double-wing chrome grille, encapsulating LED headlamps that wrap around into the sculptured hood, lending the luxury utility a powerful presence.
Its elegant body side chamfer runs along the shoulder, with dynamic haunches over the rear wheel arches. Inset into each front fender and traveling through the door panels are chrome Lincoln stars with spears that add visual length to the car. Meanwhile, winged, curb-clearing doors give the car a dramatic sense of direction, agility and forward movement.
A substantial C-pillar creates an aura of privacy for the rear occupants. Like limousines, the MKT cuts an interesting profile – long, low and comfortably wide. The signature roofline runs the entire length of the greenhouse and remains uninterrupted.

Mazzanti Evantra


Mazzanti chose the Top Marques Supercar Show to be held in Monaco, a weekend on April 2013 under the patronage of Monaco's Prince Albert II. It will be the venue to launch its Mazzanti Evantra Supercar.
This is a limited series production car, and the company will only produce five cars per year, making it very exclusive. One of the key features of the Mazzanti Evantra is that the company encourages would-be owners to take a highly active part in customizing the car to their own requirements.

Engine

Buyers will have a choice of a naturally aspirated, 3.5-liter, flat-6 engine that will deliver 403 horsepower, or they can opt for the twin turbocharger version of the same engine. The latter bumps the horsepower up to a whopping 603 horsepower.
The chassis is built from lightweight steel. The designers focused on giving the car a very low center of gravity, greatly improving road-holding performance, and keeping the weight down as much as possible.

Design


The Evantra concept was created by Mazzanti founder Luca Mazzanti. He collaborated with the chief designer, Zsolt Tarnok, to finalize the design of the Evantra. Their philosophy was to produce a car that combined the best features of modern and classic sports cars.
The result is a car that at first glance, looks very much like a classic in its overall silhouette. However, it quickly becomes obvious that the styling and external features are in fact very modern. The car has been deliberately shaped to have a more aggressive appearance than the traditional sports car.
Modern LED lighting units are set in recessed housing, and do not interrupt the sleek, smooth curves of the front body, which sweeps downwards to an inverted triangle shaped grille. The front makes the car look more like a racing car than a sports car.

Senner Tuning Audi S5 Coupe


The 2012 Senner Tuning Audi S5 Coupe becomes the latest key project from the German tuner. This is not the first time that the tuner has focused on modifying the Audi S5, but the 2012 Coupe is most likely their most impressive package to date.
Initially, Audi did their own tweaks and added a new 3.0L V6 supercharged engine to the face-lifted S5 Coupe. Senner Tuning ratchets it up a notch with all these new elements to a higher level to come up with the 2012 Senner Tuning S5 Coupe.

Engine

Senner fine tunes the standard 3.0L V6 engine to generate 429 horsepower and 370 lbs-ft of torque up from 329 hp and 324 lbs-ft. This was achieved by the installation of a mechanically-driven supercharger, 2-part motor cover, power converter, and performance racing air-filter.
After the exclusion of the maximum speed blocker, the Senner Tuning's S5 Coupe can now fully convert its improved performance into top line speed and forward drive. This performance is complimented by an awesome sound made by the 4-pipe RS5 exhaust scheme that extends from the catalytic-converter.

Exterior & Interior


The Senner Audi S5 is fitted with Work VS-XX light alloy wheels that come with black painted anodized star-shaped rims as well as mirror-finish anodized outer rims. These wheels are wrapped in Vredestein-Ultra-Sessanta tires measuring 245/30 R 20 for the front wheels and 295/25 R 20 for the rear.
The tuner also added a full coil over kit to the suspension offering great driving comfort, smooth ride as well as firm control when cornering.
In the interior, you are pampered by the bicolor Nappa leather trim which is offered in Magma-red and black with contrasting stitching color. Other key interior features include: RS5 door handle, sports steering column, and a DVD system that is electronically activated to allow DVDs to be viewed when driving.
With all the mentioned upgrades and tweaks, Senner Tuning did a remarkable job by modifying the Audi S5 into the elegant Senner Tuning S5 Coupe. The package is being sold at 69,990 euro.

Tramontana XTR


The 2013 Tramontana XTR concept is one of the most extraordinary supercars ever conceived.
While most designers and manufacturers of this type of supercar have concentrated on building cars that look sleek and racy with smooth curves and contours, the planned Tramontana has sharp angles and several bits protruding around the car. It looks more like a toy kit car that has been badly assembled.

Despite its unusual appearance, the unique styling make it very eye-catching. On the racetrack, it is certainly going to stand. Another highly unusual feature of the two-seater is that the passenger seat is behind the driver, an idea taken from fighter planes.

Engine


If the car ever goes into production, it will be one of the fastest cars ever built. This 2013 XTR will be fitted with the same Mercedes V-12 engine as earlier models. However, the engine has been modified and optimized, resulting in an increase in horsepower from the already impressive 720 to an astonishing 888. The result is a car that is capable of going from zero to 60 in just three seconds, and will be able to reach a top speed that is over 200 mph.
A 5.2 Liter V10 naturally aspirated is also being considered to be offered as an option. The V10 is expected to produce 600 horsepower and 428 lbs ft of torque.
The car is a rear wheel drive, and is supplied with a gearbox that the company describes as an "ultra-rapid competition" one, which presumably means the car will come equipped with paddles mounted on the steering wheel.

Price


Tramontana has not given details of how much this car is going to cost, but it is certainly not going to come cheap. It is likely to begin somewhere in the $800,000 range. Similarly the company has not given detailed specifications of the car's dimensions.
The company had hoped to build and launch the first car before the end of 2012, but the 2013 Tramontana XTR has yet to make an appearance.

Rimac Concept One


A maximum output of over 1000 horsepower, an acceleration of 3 seconds or less, and a top speed of almost 200 miles an hour, have all been attained by an electric powered car. Yes, seriously. Breaking the mold of supercars and shattering the stereotype of an electric car as a boring and unreliable enterprise, the 2013 Rimac Concept Onebreaks out of the closet as perhaps the first true supercar that is purely powered by electricity.

Exterior & Interior

The super dynamic body, created by designer Adriano Mudri, is both super elegant and super aerodynamic. Even better is that this body is sculpted out of carbon fiber, creating an audaciously lightweight car that has legitimate supercar dynamics. The interior is designed by people that are formerly associated with the famed designer Pininfarina, and is adorned with high quality materials such as leather-wrapped seats and an infotainment system.

Performance

A unique powertrain is integrated for the Concept One. Featuring 4 different subsystems, with each having its own engine, inverter, and reduction gearbox, they have a cumulative maximum power output of 1088 horsepower. This gives this car some stunning performance numbers: a zero to 100 kilometers per hour dash of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour just to name a few. In addition, with batteries that carry a maximum charge of 92kWh, it is enough to carry this car to a distance of up to 600 kilometers before needing a recharge.
The Rimac Concept One is one unique car. Only 88 of these cars are going to be produced, and each car has the lofty reputation of being perhaps the first ever electric powered hypercar.
