New bodywork for the Bentley Continental GT by Premier4509

"The white and black power." That should have been the premise Premier4509 when they thought of making a complete package modification to the body of the Bentley Continental GT. The name of the "package" is entirely Limited Edition and is intended to add a little more straight appearance to the bodywork coupé English.

As a major element of this new body, designed by the Japanese coach, with carbon fibre, which can add a small weight reduction. Fins, wing, front and rear spoilers, side, etc., all done with this material that adds lightness and strength. With all these elements in white combining aluminum alloy wheels in black. Finally, it may choose different exhaust stainless steel. The result is this effect and added a width at about 10 cm.

If we look at the images of the Bentley Continental GT original, it almost seems that this "bodykit" W12 biturbo of 560 HP seems to be another.

V10 biturbo engine for the Audi R8

This is a story that we must take extreme caution because of the day it was released, because yesterday was on April fools' day (the day of the Holy Innocents most international). According to the news suggests the Audi R8 could receive a new addition to its line of the engine, giving a little more nerve to superdeportivo.

After the pitcher of cold water which was for the followers of the brand of the four rings cancellation of the R8 V12 TDI, with its 1000 Nm of torque, Audi is preparing a version gasoline with the same V10 biturbo you get at the RS6 Avant, which squeezes nothing less than 580 hp and 650 Nm.


The news would be confirmed by an interview by Wolfgang Hatz, director of the engine division of the Volkswagen group, the magazine Autocar. The cooling caused problems in the past that some of the prototypes is viesen enveloped in flames but have been solved by adding a new air intake, which is similar to this in the R8 TDI V12 Concept. The nomenclature of the new model could be RS8, although it could lead to confusion with a version sporting the range A8.

New generation of the BMW 7 Series Hydrogen

Not that mark a true revolution, but that showed how technology could move towards the use of hydrogen as a primary fuel. And so it was two years ago as the BMW 7 Hydrogen was introduced globally. The paste, which is not so much paste, which is in its initial version could pass using gasoline or hydrogen, a good way to imply management issues and obtaining hydrogen.

Now the German mark stands out again introducing a new version of this Series 7 and now it only works with hydrogen additions greater efficiency and power than in the previous version (hopefully more power than the 265 HP engine V12 above) . The base itself remains constant and running by far compared to other alternatives using the free hydrogen: 7 Series Hydrogen makes the combustion of hydrogen, it does not use as a tool to achieve power.


Is this the future of abandoned oil? It's hard to know and BMW neither knows but has decided to test the benefits that hydrogen fuel cells provide. In the words of Thomas Wallner, an engineer at BMW, "evidence of Hydrogen Engine 7 show that emit certain gases that are more friendly to the environment than the outside air reaching the engine originally."

The 7 Series Hydrogen will be in evidence temporarily and thereafter will be available to customers for testing. Hopefully in a short time we know more details of this new generation.

Customize your Volvo C30 with drawings for bodywork

If it were not just happen on April Fools Day (with some of the consequences that entails), I would say that this is a joke, but apparently not. Above all it is quite surprising coming from a brand like Volvo, as we have rather accustomed to the designs straight and serious rather than as varied as they customizations.





They include a program to customize the body for the Volvo C30 which has just launched the Swedish brand in its own country (for now) and that will be available from 7 days of this month. Instead of focusing on the painting or removable elements of the bodywork, it is simply a series of stickers with different designs. In addition to the showy resulting these designs, which you can see in the following photos, as brand also serve to protect the body.




The worst part is the leading price can be calculated from around € 2,000 (change and including labels and labour).

Fiat 500 Giardiniera

This idea seems to haunt takes the helm of some designers, and that is what we were told rumors. But it may be that eventually we saw a stretched version of the Fiat 500, as seems to anticipate AutoExpress. It could be presented at the next Geneva Motor Show and enter into production around 2010, which could be considered a little late but about this interval was played with the Mini.

It really could mean as a estretegia similar to that used with its Mini Clubman, after drawing well in the version augmented with the third door. Fiat 500 vs. Mini Clubman, and could be the story although it is likely to show a small Italian as original as the third back door of the Clubman.


The Fiat 500 Giardiniera, as might be called, would be the same platform as the original 500 but with a long body, which in turn mean a respectable increase in interior space and the ability to boot. And mechanically, probably have the basic and logical engines: 1.2 to 69 HP, 1.3 Multijet from 1.4 to 75 HP and 100 HP among others. In this aspect, it would not make sense any version Abarth in principle.

Kia Kee worth, curious name for a prototype remote control

The design of the Kia Kee is not worth either too different, maintains the lines that we are accustomed to seeing in the prototypes that anticipate future models. That is not part of this new conceptual model, created in a research centre that has Korean brand in New Zealand, but the main innovation lies in the very concept of operation of the vehicle.

Instead of using the classic combination of pedal, steering wheel and shift lever, Kee wii (wireless) incorporates a remote control called "Dynamic On-Road Kinetics" that lets you handle the vehicle wirelessly through a simple interface: turning the wheels rotate command at the address provided and accelerates or slows using a couple of buttons. This system provides two key advantages: it allows to drive the vehicle from any position in the interior (Can also be from the outside?), And avoids having to design a post exclusively for that purpose.
