BRD Concept Carhttp://gizmoave.com/2010/02/15/yet-another-concept-car/ http://gizmoave.com/2010/02/15/yet-another-concept-car/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:27:10 +0000 Salman Khan http://gizmoave.com/?p=2556 BRD Concept Car by Beau Reid

Sometimes designers submit ideas that aren’t  revolutionary but when they include descriptions that read like personal vendettas, I pay attention. This BRD concept is a single seater, totally driver-centric for Formula One like driving.

“…for the racing enthusiast who wants to have the ultimate driving experience without all the extra room and the annoying girlfriend…”


Designer: Beau Reid

What does a Lotus Evora and a Camry have in common?http://gizmoave.com/2008/11/14/lotus-evora/ http://gizmoave.com/2008/11/14/lotus-evora/#comments Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:50:25 +0000 Salman Khan http://gizmoave.com/?p=1291

Evora is a city in Portugal that no one knows about, but this Evora by Lotus is something you should acquaint yourself with. This striking two-plus-two GT is a welcome addition to the Lotus lineup. Measuring 22 inches longer than an Elise and three inches shorter than a 911, it’s the first practical Lotus since the gorgeous Elan Plus 2 debuted in 1967. Powered by the same Toyota 3.5 liter V-6 used in Camry?!?

This 2.976 lbs futuristic looking car goes from 0 to 60mph in 4.9 seconds. Power is rated at 280 hp (thankfully 12 hp more than the mom-n-pop Camry). While the Evora is tagged as a two plus two, most probably because of the look, most buyers will go for the 2 seater with more space. The $70,000 Lotus Evora will be available in U.S. late next year (2009).

Souped Up Bentley GThttp://gizmoave.com/2008/11/11/souped-up-bentley-gt/ http://gizmoave.com/2008/11/11/souped-up-bentley-gt/#comments Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:21:25 +0000 Salman Khan http://gizmoave.com/?p=1192

The Bentley GT has become as commonplace on the city streets as beautiful people in Miami. One way to make your Bentley more exclusive is vie the new Premier4509 package. Only 100 kits will be delivered from this Asian tuner, so you can rest assured that you won’t ever see another just like yours in the valet parking area. The entire kit will consist of front fenders, and rear quarter panels that are constructed of carbon fiber and fiber enforced plastic. The only drawback to this package is there are no performance upgrades or benefits from this Asian tuner. Which means you’ll be driving around in the flashiest, most aggressive looking ride on the road without the added horsepower to back up your claim. But my serious question is why?!?

Only 5 made – Pagani Zonda Cinquehttp://gizmoave.com/2008/11/08/pagani-cinque/ http://gizmoave.com/2008/11/08/pagani-cinque/#comments Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:04:39 +0000 Salman Khan http://gizmoave.com/?p=1106

If you thought a Cinque was something Italians do their dish-washing in, you’d be dead wrong. This is the latest creation from supercar maker Pagani, and the Cinque badge, which Italian for “five” and is actually pronounced “chink-way”, indicates the number of these wild racers for the road Horacio Pagani will build. But don’t bother rushing to the phone with your platinum American Express; all five have supposedly been sold at a price of $1.5 million. The Cinque is in effect a road-going version of the racetrack only Pagani Zonda R. Mercedes’s AMG division kinly detuned the Zonda R’s 7.3-liter V-12 they supply, from 750 to 678 hp. Now Cinque owners will have their toy do 0 to 60 mph in only 3.4 seconds along with a 217 mph top speed. The lucky five will get a true exotic made of titanium, magnesium, and carbon fiber, with a little seat leather thrown in.

List Price: $1.5 million
Engine: 7.3-liter V-12
Horsepower: 678 hp @ 6,200 rpm
Torque: 575 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm
Transmission: 6 speed sequential auto
0-60: 3.4 seconds
Top speed: 217 mph
Weight: 2,668 lbs
Length: 177 inches
Tires: 255/35ZR-19 (front), 335/30R-2- (rear)
