2009 Aston Martin Volare Concept Design

James Trim is truly a lover of Mother Nature. His design of his car, the Aston Martin Volare simply proves this. Aston Martin Volare is anchored to the principle that automakers must see to it that their vehicles are environment friendly if not totally harmful free.

Aston Martin Volare is a design that provides a guilt-free driving for the passengers while not sacrificing the incredible sound and excellent performance of the car. James’ design is a two-seater car that has a high-power fuel cell stack that is flanked by the front seats. A backend mounted battery pack and a co-axial electric motor is also embedded at the front. Two hydrogen storage tanks are placed overhead the cars axle for an equal distribution of the cars weight. The Aston Martin Volare proportion is visually sharpened by the use of a harder shoulders and a visible floating rear deck.

The front frame, which is solid, is inspired by the older V8 vantage. The Volare’s flexible frontage fenders are able to change its shape to expose daytime running lights or full headlamps. A car is immediately identifiable as a masterpiece of Aston Martin if its design is a combination of the today’s technology and designed as a harmful free to the environment vehicle.

2009 Aston Martin Vantage Hellvellyn Frost

The old Aston Martin V8 Vantage is already perfection; making innovations on perfection seems improper. And yet, MW Design Technik has done just that. They have taken it to new heights by creating a design aptly called Hellvellyn Frost.

The 2009 Aston Martin Hellvellyn Frost is covered in a frosty white matte paint. The interior scheme is of gray with accents of red and black. The car uses a 4.7 liter V8 engine with a horsepower of 445. Many weighed decisions were made in creating this new model. Additional carbon fiber aero pieces were especially ordered and the bearing of the suspension and wheels were changed as well. The aero pieces were also given the same matte paint effect to flow with the rest of the scheme.

Modulare customized the wheels that were used in the car. With the aluminum cap, the combined look makes the car look both romantic yet harsh. Minor detailing is added to the exterior to tie in all the parts together. The vents, front grill, window trims as well as trunk lip is colored black while other accents were given some red lines such as the calliper’s bleeder line and the tow hooks.

This car, which takes its design from an English mountain range, is both beauty and strength in one.

Bugatti Veyron

Not just a super car that carries on the name of racing driver Pierre Veyron, who, while racing for the original Bugatti car manufacturer, won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the second fastest car in the world and the most pow

erful, it can easily pass as a super hero`s car like Batman. It has the fastest acceleration speed, reaching 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

Endowed with W16 engine-16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders fed by four turbochargers, a dual-clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission, the Veyron has a length is 4462 mm (175.8 in) a wide of 1998 mm (78.7 in) and hight of 1206 mm (47.5 in). Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for the engine cooling system, for transmission oil, a heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers, for engine oil etc., the car has a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.

If we talk about performance we are dazzled by this supercars power to reach 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.3 and respectively 16.7 seconds, wining for herself the name of the quickest-accelerating production car in history. If we count the fact that the top speed of Bugatti Veyron is 253.2 miles per hour (407.5 km/h), a speed limited electronically to prevent tire damage (it can run even faster) we can understand why this spectacular car must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) when it`s running at top speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100 km.

A model drove by superstars like Tom Cruise, couldn`t name itself cheap, rising the Bugatti Veyron at least of $1,700,000, a price that measures it`s quality. Many new designs has been released since 2006, the color might have changed, but the speed and power remain the same.

Fastest Cars Ferrari 250 GTO

The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is famous for quite a few reasons. It was the last front engine racecar Ferrari ever made and, due to its unique design, it is one of the most recognized cars in the world. It was also the last race car Ferrari built that you could actually drive on the road but it was truly designed for racing and won the World Championship three years in a row, 1962, 1963 and 1964. A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO also holds the record for the most expensive car ever sold.By the way, GTO stands for "Gran Turismo Omologato." Omologato is the Italian word for "Homologation" which means that the car was classified by the FIA for GT competition.

The car shown here was made from a kit that was originally designed by Eagle Manufacturing and sold by Joe Alphabet as an Alpha 1 GTO. I originally purchased this kit from Joe at his Alpha 1 Engineering shop in Huntington Beach, CA. The body installs on a Datsun 240Z to 280Z so a rust free 1971 240Z was selected as the donor. The '71 was preferred because it was prior to the bumper laws and would not have to be lowered.

History

After two incredibly successful seasons the GTO was up for replacement and Ferrari felt a 'few minor' modifications were not going to be sufficient this time round. Cooper's huge success in Formula 1 in the late 1950s had shown the racing world that a mid mounted engine was superior over the traditional front engine layout. For the first few years of the 1960s Ferrari had reserved this layout for their single seater and prototype racers. In the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans Ferrari scored the first major mid-engined sportscar success with the 250 P. In good Ferrari tradition, the 250 P still shared many components with its predecessors, despite the novel chassis design. The most familiar part was the well proven Colombo short-block V12 engine, which it shared with GT cars like the 250 GTO. For Enzo Ferrari the engine was the most important part of any car, and hoping he could convince the FIA of the same thing Ferrari set out to develop a civilized version of the 250 P for GT racing. Launched at the 1963 Paris Motorshow this '250 LM' looked strikingly similar to the 250 P, but still Ferrari insisted it was not very different from the front-engined 250 GT.

Technology

The entire car was rewired using an 18-circuit “Painless Wiring” kit and all the marker lights are real Ferrari units. A Ferrari GTO type dashboard was installed with custom Stewart Warner 5” speedometer and tachometer. Except for the dash and the Nardi wheel, the rest of the interior is all stock but almost every piece is brand new. Of course, the custom mats have the Ferrari shield on them and the horn button, as well as the gearshift knob, are genuine Ferrari parts. The custom made Dayton real knock-off 72 spoke stainless steel wire wheels are 15x8” with the rear having quite an offset. The “knock-off” spinners have had the Ferrari horse engraved into them. Dunlop P205R70's were installed up front and P225R70's on the rear. The rest of the suspension is stock except for the usual “trick” pieces, polyurethane bushings, Eibach springs and Tokico struts. Stopping power is provided by using Toyota 4 piston brake calipers on the front with a later model Z 15/16” master cylinder.
