This here is the Lamborghini Cnossus. The Lamborghini Cnossus Concept was designed by Russian student Victor Filipchenko with the help of his Portuguese colleague Nelson Simoes as part of their final thesis project at Italy’s Scuola Politecnica di Design.
2010 Lamborghini Supercar Cnossus Concept
Every Lambo needs a bull theme, and this supercar design study for a supercar concept named after the ancient Greek city of Cnossus (Knossus) on the island of Crete. The designers claim to have been inspired by the Lamborghini Countach, though it is evident that the edgy styling of the limited production Reventon special also played a role in the design of the Cnossus Concept.
It boasts many classic cues such as telephone-dial wheels lifted from the Countach, scissor doors and gaping air intakes in front of the rear wheelarch. At the rear, the thin strip of LED lights with inverted arrows at the end is a clear nod towards the Reventón’s jet-fighter theme, while the diffuser looks more like something you’d find on a Le Mans prototype racer than a road car.

Sporty elegant appearance but really inspire young modifier. In Malaysia, some have been modified Cefiro drift style and appearance of which will be converted to a Nissan Skyline R32, so the practical Skyfiro usual, "explains Johan Fardjito, owner of 1992 Nissan Cefiro had undergone facial surgery R32 Skyline Country progress.
Drifting in neighboring communities, create Johan interested to build a drift car spec After consulting with his friends, Nissan Cefiro was chosen because it was considered best not to inhale the guinea pig .. "Caves select Cefiro since the price is cheap enough and suitable to change the body so that the Skyline R32," he added. Johan went to good fortune when he saw the Nissan Cefiro piled on the sidewalk near his home "Caves are interested because the body is still in good condition., Only the machine that has spent age," he said.
Not much to say, Johan borer immediately redeem the car and rushed to the home modification Das Auto, the number of arteries in Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. But apparently, the intention to convert at Skyline R32 has been prepared by him or her an adult. Half-cut set of components Skyline R32 has been obtained before Johan even get the car.
"Although my father initially had agreed to build a baseball Cefiro., But after he saw the Skyline R32 is cut in half, I think he changed his mind," joked Johan Incidentally,. Johan gave a friend Skyline R32 half cut stock imported directly from Malaysia.
Fun again, the conversion process is not too difficult "Simply create a new bracket on the body just to fit in with his muzzle Cefiro R32 Skyline, once installed it is longer than. Cefiro original face," said this Limkokwing University students while at the stern, Johan use only lamps and rear bumper Skyline GTR R32 for the body and then knitted in Cefiro. "
It took a little adjustment on the bracket to be installed lighting is perfect, hard baseball, "he added To Skyline R32 appears more and more like the original, then the whole body is painted Skyfiro Arctic White paint from DuPont. Because buying a half cut in a condition, engine and brakes have been built package Nissan Skyline R32.
Once again the process of entry into the engine room Cefiro RB20DET engine means no constraints there was no change at all, although the company mounted .. This is because the standard engine which is coded RB20E Cefiro has a construction similar to the engine Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-t RB20DET default.
"Difference only wear baseball Cefiro turbo engine back and still single (SOHC engine)," said Johan.
In addition, to support the hobby of playing drift Johan then, congenital Skyline R32 manual gearbox feels better than a sip of congenital Cefiro using automatic machines to maximize performance, Johan just add artificial Mine intercooler. "It was a direct influence on engine performance baseball. But I was ready to make bigger turbo rather than later," lid Johan. EIS, I think it will be even more interesting.
If in Indonesia, PT Honda Prospect Motor launches new premium MPV Honda Odyssey with a conventional door, so now there are options Odyssey with sliding doors or sliding doors.
Touring Elite is a performance almost similar to the concept cars that show off the Honda Odyssey at the Chicago Motor Show 2010.
Honda said the 2011 model offers a more exclusive appearance and a new interior features, including a sliding door.
New 2011 Odyssey, which will be released in the fall, is the first Honda van was developed by a team of engineers in the United States. It will be built at the same factory in Alabama where Odyssey is currently assembled.
New minivan looks slim. It has a 1.6-inch roofline is lower than the current model and track (distance between the wheel counterclockwise), 1.4 inches wider, and also improve the economic aerodynamics provide fuel for a better and wider interior. Honda adds nearly an extra inch of shoulder space in the front row.
The engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 with variable management system Honda three-cylinder mode, which allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders, depending on how much power is needed. Older models have the same type V-6; if any enhancements have been made to the engine for new models, Honda does not say.
Honda created the "cool" that will continue and remain calm six 12-ounce cans or four 20-ounce bottle when the vehicle is running. Of a new center console between the first row seat is big enough to accommodate the bags. And can be removed so that one can walk through to the second row and then reinstalled.
There are three configurations for second-row seats. Middle seat between two captain's chairs have a very narrow matter, but now it is four inches wider so maybe comfortable even for adults. The second amendment is a "wide mode" which enables the second seat outboard seats to move to the side almost two inches so that the largest number of child seats on the market that can be stored in all three seats simultaneously. Finally, the chair features the convenience centers so parents can move to slide the baby in the seat nearly six inches closer to the front lines.
While the third row, Honda says the cabin is wider there to make adults more comfortable with sliding doors to keep the motor below the surface of the shoulder. Third-row legroom increases by one-inch as well. Honda says it has made the third row "magic seat" that folds into a well on the floor - a concept that Honda introduced to the market years ago - much easier to store or lift. Instead of having to deal with and use the rope, now can be done with just one rope.
Honda has not announced pricing for the 2011 Odyssey. Preliminary fuel economy is estimated to-above-the-line Touring model is the Elite 19 miles per gallon in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. That improvements to the Odyssey Touring model came out.
Based from the Honda Accord, with a combined contour and shape of the other variants, such as the CR-V also Odissey therefore be crosstour honda accord with a very futuristic body design. Berbody bongsor with high ground clearance, but not too far from the station wagon is perfect for a family.
When We reviewed the Honda's new Accord model Crosstour, one of Our Few gripes was in the fuel economy of department. Rated at 18/27 mpg (FWD), its not bad, but the lack of a six-speed transmission makes getting the most out of Each gallon a bit hard.
Honda appears to be ready to announce the Addition of a six-speed auto-box for the 2011 model year car, Which Will go on sale before the end of the year. This is well, ahead of a mid-cycle update, Which Should take place in the 2013 model year. The new transmission will of likely deliver a slight improvement in city fuel economy as much as two and outs mpg on the highway, making the CrossTour more competitive with the Toyota Venza Pls it comes to fuel economy.
Honda typically sticks to very strict model cycles, and four years after it WENT on sale as a 2008 model, the Accord is receiving its scheduled refresh. Among the tweaks for 2011 is an exterior freshening for both sedans and coupes, including a Sharper front fascia design, new wheels, and updated rear lighting. The grille is wider and sports marginally less chrome than before, and it rests above a restyled bumper with more Deeply scooped fog-light surrounds. Sedan models have a new trunklid with lighting strips adjacent to the license-plate holder.
Crosstour Honda Accord is equipped with engine mounting, vibration can be suppressed very well. Using the name of the application crosstour porters with huge capacity was already a necessity. Double wishbone and multilink system behind, with better use of the bushing and the composition of geometry-enhanced arms, front and rear suspension damping in the shocks created in various road conditions. Some things that are served by making more felt comfortable in making a long trip and stay safe in different conditions.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Expert a Modern African Safari Vehicles
2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Expert a Modern African Safari Vehicles
2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Expert a Modern African Safari Vehicles
FJ Cruiser is clearly visible as it is built to go off-road. Our tester is equipped with bold Toyota Trail Teams (TT) Special Edition package, which includes sand paint, roof-vibrant color, blacked out hood, and a black grille, mirrors, door handles and bumpers. It has also been active Traction Control (A-TRAC), TRD alloy wheels bead-lock-style, trail-tuned Bilstein shocks and rock rails. All-terrain tires make steering a bit difficult, but overall the trip in FJ is much more subtle than expected. Decent power, although the engine is a bit loud at high RPM. Cargo space more than adequate, and the rear seats fold down to create space, large flat loading. The left-hinged cargo doors open wide for easy access, but needs plenty of space to fully open the back of the vehicle. Rear access doors make it easy to slide into the backseat, but you will not find a lot of legroom back there. The FJ is a great choice if you plan to do some serious off-roading - or if you just want someone to think that you - but as the SUV of everyday life, other choices in the market might fit the bill better.
FJ Cruiser is a modern African safari vehicles. Equipped with large, knobby tire, good ground clearance and a square frame, the FJ will make you feel more at home in Serengeti of commuting on the highway. But the FJ is amazing all the cars around. It is comfortable and quiet driving in town or out on the highway. Powerful machine, so do not expect a big gas mileage. I achieved 16.5 mpg in mixed driving. Because of the high ground clearance, it is difficult for parents and little children to enter and exit from the FJ. Glass upright and get a lot of impact from road debris, I've got two big rocks at the window slit in one day drive FJ.
Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV now my dream. Most urban assault vehicle to me all the pictures and no substance, but the FJ is full of substance. Own off-road capability that you can not ignore, with small wheels and big tires to conquer difficult terrain. Machine really feel untaxed; with lots of torque could easily spend all day under 2500 rpm. There are plenty of ground clearance and a relatively high step for entry that will take some getting used to, but the seating position is surprisingly comfortable reclinerlike generated. The FJ also narrow enough to handle the wind on the street, right in the path of traffic on roads that are not exactly the Hummer. I can not think of a better car to be used as a vehicle fleeing from the disaster, and also feel comfortable in every day (in case of disaster never comes).

This is the concept of next Cadillac. This concept is an idea from its Wayne Cherry who is responsible in making design concept. After a distinguished career at General Motors that culminated in his being appointed only the fifth vice president of design in the company’s history, he decided to build a concept car of his own.
2010 Cadillac Sports Cars SRV Concept
Wayne Cherry has always loved concept cars. Then you take a close look at Cherry’s VSR street rod, at the hardware, the workmanship, and, most of all, the design, and you realize it could easily take center stage as a concept car on the GM stand at the next international auto show.
"You just can't stop designing, you just can't stop being involved with cars," Cherry explains. "You start to do something like this, and it turns into a concept vehicle." He makes it sound like a winter garage project that got a little out of control, which at a basic level perhaps isn't a million miles from the truth.
Then you take a close look at Cherry's VSR street rod, at the hardware, the workmanship, and, most of all, the design, and you realize it could easily take center stage as a concept car on the GM stand at the next international auto show.
He joined GM in 1962, straight out of California’s Art Center design school, and was assigned to the advanced design studio at the Tech Center, where, among his first assignments, he assisted on a project that became the first Oldsmobile Toronado, one of the high watermarks of Bill Mitchell’s stint as GM design chief.
At Vauxhall, he worked on the gullwing XVR, the brand's first-ever concept car, which was unveiled at the 1966 Geneva show. His wild, mid-engine SRV, shown at the 1970 Earls Court Motor Show in London, was a four-door, four-seater that stood just 41 inches tall.
The Equus, one of the star concepts of 1978, was a crisp, state-of-the-moment roadster that rivaled the best from Bertone and Pininfarina. "That's the most uncompromised design I've ever worked on," Cherry said at the time.
