Salon de TDUCK: New Car Releases

[mau92]

I like supercars but even I think we're reaching the pointy end of the pointless spectrum now. The trouble (read: good thing) is that more normal-ish cars (i.e. Audi, BMW, etc) are reaching performance levels that belonged to supercars 10-12 years ago.

 

That's what I was thinking. It feels that power and performance is much more cheaper and open to everybody nowadays. For example any Audi RS has the same amount of power and (I think) better handling than a Ferrari from mid 90's. But, you can't beat a classic, in the other hand...

Not sure if the wing suits the car as good as it did on the Murci SV.

[TDUZoqqer]

Well, this is yet the ugliest wing for the Aventador I've seen. And I have seen many.

Rumours surfaced of Bentley unveiling a new sportscar, on the Geneva motor show. Not production-ready yet, but a concept to measure interest and reactions for a possible line-up expansion like a sportscar, closer to Ferrari's and Aston Martins.

Wonder if it's true though, if I'm correct this isn't the first time Bentley is said to introduce a sportscar (Paris 2012 proved previous rumours to be wrong: no sportscar shown)

 

And here it is, handbuilt by Mattel:

 

 

Okay okay, the other pictures look a lot less worse. Less worse ye, They've continued using those ugly squished ovals front to back. I'm sure it's all ''you instantly see it as a bentley, fits the lineup well blabla'', don't care still ugly imo. So sad, I really like everything inside and out except those damn oval headlights, taillights and exhausts. :/

 

 

 

 

Moar: This Is The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept Car, A Baby Continental GT

[hassan1995]

That's sexy as hell.

[Milli]

I also like that new Bentley. :nods:

 

Looks different, looks new, looks modern. Specially being Bentley, who have kept the same style since 2003.

[Camel]

That looks... funky?

 

Liking the exhaust/tail lights combo. Looks awesome.

[T1M]

I think they did a better job with the Murcielago SV, it managed to look racey, but not tacky, I think that Aventador looks a bit tacky and almost like its been done by an aftermarket tuner. The best looking Aventador is definitely the normal roadster imo. In fact they still haven't quite topped the Murci SV since in my eyes.

 

As for the Bentley, I kinda like it. Love the detailing on the headlights.

[TDUZoqqer]

I think that Aventador looks a bit tacky and almost like its been done by an aftermarket tuner..

 

I think they just took the Anniversario and put a spoiler on it.

[T1M]

Looks like it, and I didn't even like that body kit really :lol:

[hassan1995]

1420kg 1500hp and it can go from 0-248 in 20 seconds....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[The Compensator]

Looks like it has Apple CarPlay.

[TDUZoqqer]

Koenigsegg - building weird cars since 1998.

[Andreas¹]

According to TG...

Koenigsegg reckons on an output somewhere close to 1800bhp and 1475lb ft of torque

 

Other performance figures

The Regera is rear wheel drive only, so 0-62mph takes a relatively tardy 2.7 seconds. "We can't go any faster than that because of traction," Christian says. 0-186mph takes 12 seconds flat, while 0-250mph takes under 20 seconds. It'll go from 93mph to 155mph in just 3.2 seconds, and top out at 255mph.

 

:faint:

[Eudemon]

Finally Koenigsegg has made a new car and what a car! Those figures and specs are mental and if that 0-250 time is right then I cannot wait to see footage of it.

[Andreas¹]

The fact that the combustion engine alone provides 1100bhp and then three electric ones giving another 700 or so, all of which goes to the rear wheels, is insane to my mind. :eek:

[T1M]

Is it all new? Seems to have the same roof and windscreen... Looks kinda cool, but insane performance! Properly mad car. Although I prefer the looks of the CCX

[RobikV3]

Bentley is fugly i wont even comment on that

 

As for Regera theyll never top the looks of CCXR or Agera R for me t.ge CC shape just has somehing unique to it but every time i think they have reached max performance they come out with something even more ridiculous, im wondering wheres Buggatti now? Wheres the SuperVeyron they rumoured some time ago?

[Milli]

 

I am more interested in this... new Civic Type-R. Apparently lapped Nurb in 7:50.6, and had a top speed of 273km/h, which is... really not bad for a FWD, manual hatchback.

[CarMadMike]

Top Gear on Twitter:

 

Made me laugh.

[Milli]

:yawn:

[CLR-GTR]

That sideprofile screams Group C all over it. Love it :D And DAAAYYYYUUUUMM at those numbers.

[The Compensator]

So after a year of two showing the CTR prototype at various autoshows, which looked really good, they give us a Civic with just glued-on fenders and with wheels tucked in the fenders. Looks ridiculous.

[T1M]

They definitely messed up the rear, the concept looked so cool and the new one just looks a bit naff... although the front looks pretty nice still.

[CLR-GTR]

So, picture heavy post galore. For sources, go right click the pictures and view their properties, over half comes from a dutch car blog.

 

Have an electric R8, the new R8 e-tron. Lot less intakes, outlets and what not. Wheels are closed, helps for aerodynamics, I wonder about brake cooling but ok I'm sure they thought of something. Not really fond of the styling, it's the same with VW which is really pulling everything tight. I'm sure if they had a chance they'd make wheels in cube shape.

Electric range is 450 km, power is 460 PS and 920 Nm of torque. 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of either 210 km/h or 250 km/h, both electronically limited, 250 km/h being optional.

 

 

 

 

Then there's Aston Martin, also with an electric vehicle which is AWD btw. They call it the DBX Concept and it has a rather unusual interior for being an Aston Martin. No center tunnel, no typical thick beefy seats of GT's and other luxury cars. It offers room for four adults and is aimed at being a practical car, offering room for luggage both in the front as in the rear. No numbers or statistics are known but they say it has 4 electric motors and the body of the car is made of aluminium. It also is said to feature a KERS-ish system. Oh, and it's pretty tall for an Aston.

 

 

 

 

 

Have some more pictures of the new 911 GT3 RS. Not really a fan of the dark trim underneath the front bumper. Looks like something for cheap-style SUV's like a Merc GLA or something (oh look plastic, I'm rough!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Imo a very nice concept from Kia (calster, you reading this?), the SportSpace. Stands on 20-inch rims and is almost 5 meters long, 1.87 meters wide and 1.42 meter tall. Looks pretty sporty from the inside as well. Definitely another great conceptcar from Kia, yet to wonder if we'll see it even half as cool on the street some day.

 

 

 

 

Here, have a better look at the Regera! Koenigsegg mentions the next numbers:

 

1100 Hp of combustion engine power on 91 octane DIN or 95 octane RON (a bit more on E85)

1250 Nm of combustion engine torque

700 Hp of electric propulsion

900 Nm of electric torque

9 kWh 620 Volt, flooded liquid cooled battery pack

 

COMBINED NUMBERS

Over 1500 BHp or 1.11 MW

Over 2000 Nm of torque

Dry weight 1420 kg

1628 kg curb weight (including all liquids and full fuel tank)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The AM Vulcan is on Geneva, so there are live-pictures of it now. Remember when Lego used orange translucent plastic flames? Aston Martin ordered a bag of them as well. Apparently 24 will be built (cars, not plastic flames), at a price of 1,5 million pounds and each with a 7-liter V12 good for over 800 hp. A sequential 6-speed transfers the power to the 19 inch rear wheels.

 

 

 

 

 

Mike, have a VAG product! This lemon is the Volkswagen CLS Passat CC Sport Coupe Concept GTE.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and Land Rover is on Geneva too. End of the Defender is nearing, so they introduced 3 special versions. The orange one is the Adventure Edition, the brown/black one is the Autobiography, and the light greenish one is the Heritage Edition.
