MANSORY understands the importance of combining luxury and technology with the golden aspirations of this unique sports cars. Adding to the list of many modified Bugattis sports cars, Mansory LINEA Vincerò d’Oro has created this incredibly gaudy-looking Veyron. It’s got some design changes, it’s got some gold and it’s one of a kind. However, Mansory will perform this modifications for anyone who has the cash to pay for it.



With the LINEA Vincerò d’Oro, MANSORY has completed its strictly limited series sports cars for the refined Bugatti Veyron 16.4 sports cars. Using targeted changes, MANSORY first transformed the Bugatti Veyron sports cars into the LINEA Vincerò and then, using a special gold-coloured alloy, into the unique LINEA Vincerò d’Oro.

The Mansory Linea Vincero d’Oro version of the Bugatti Veyron adds a carbon fiber aerodynamics kit and gold details on the grille, the tires, the door handles and gas tank. The interior is equally accented in gold color, but the rest of this beast is all Bugatti sports cars.



Along with such gaudy monstrosities as the Pepto-pink Bentley and the Polo Sport-on-acid Porsche Panamera, Mansory has modified the Veyron sports cars with the Linea Vincero range of accessories, including a full aero kit and highly polished carbon-fiber body panels that include copper threads interwoven into the material for even more flash.

The Ferrari F430 is going to make its way quite soon with the replacement of the vehicle at Frankfurt show; two German firms have joined hands to give F430 a real unique style of branding with their efforts, these firms are Novitec Rosso and Unique Sportscars.

The new tattoo-style painting, which is a masterpiece of well-known airbrush artist Knud Tiroch, is going to answer many questions that are not asked usually including how it looks like if spent too much time with it on beach at Venice.

The full work over to this vehicle has been given by Novitec with its double superchargers that will offer it 707hp that is a lot more than F430 Evoluzione and that seems quite exceptional with TuNero version and with its adjustable suspension and requisite 20” wheels.

Some nice changes have also been introduced in the interior that adds daytime strip lights aside from front splitter, Novitec body kit and lots of other modifications.

ferrari f430

With all these mods, the custom will be able to hit 60 in 3.5 seconds and it will be at 216mph at its top speed. According to Unique Sports Car, only 11 models of it to be introduced that really seems to make it a great choice for those who know that there is no accounting for taste. So, we can guess that will be offered only to some selected ones.

TOP 5 SEXIEST SUSTAINABLE SPORTS CARS

0 comments Posted by org at 8:42 AM

TRANSPORTATION TUESDAYS, green cars, fuel efficient, hybrid cars, hybird engines, engines, motors, diesel, sports cars, Tesla, Roadster

It is often said that for green cars to be taken seriously, serious car buffs must realize that they can compete with the big boys. You see, most people think that you just can’t get proper mileage out of electric cars, that they are ugly, and most importantly, that they just can’t go fast. Well, to prove them wrong, and to start out our brand new Transportation Tuesdays series, we’d like to bring to you the top 5 greenest, fastest, and sexiest beauties on wheels that we’ve ever seen. Counting down from 5 to 1, here they are…


TRANSPORTATION TUESDAYS, green cars, fuel efficient, hybrid cars, hybird engines, engines, motors, diesel, sports cars, saab, aero-x

5. Saab Aero-X

It’s encouraging to see car manufacturers look for alternative fuel sources to power their vehicles. This particular concept by Saab comes equipped with an ethanol guzzling 2.8L twin-turbocharged V6 that can get you from 0 to 100kph/60mph in 4.2 seconds. Even cooler, the car has no doors, rather, the entire top canopy section of the car opens up, making it one of the most unique designs out there. Sadly, the car is still on concept stage. But one can still dream.

TRANSPORTATION TUESDAYS, green cars, fuel efficient, hybrid cars, hybird engines, engines, motors, diesel, sports cars, venturi, fetish

4. Venturi Fetish

Looking like something out of a spy movie, the Venturi Fetish is the world’s only in production electric sports car. While its top speed is only 100mph, it’ll give you plenty of power in the initial acceleration as it does a good 0-100kph/60mph in about 5 seconds. sadly, only 25 cars are being produced a year. But this list wouldn’t be complete without it.

TRANSPORTATION TUESDAYS, green cars, fuel efficient, hybrid cars, hybird engines, engines, motors, diesel, sports cars, citroen, c-metisse

3. Citroen C-Metisse Concept

Unveiled at the Paris show last year, the Citroen C-Metisse Concept is another attempt to create a diesel hybrid car. What’s so exciting about that? well this particular vehicle can operate in a Zero Emission mode, an all electric mode perfect for city cruising, while giving you access to the power of the diesel engine when needed in the motorway. While not as fast as the Saab, the fact that it has a mixed mode engine puts it just a bit higher in our list.

TRANSPORTATION TUESDAYS, green cars, fuel efficient, hybrid cars, hybird engines, engines, motors, diesel, sports cars, Toyota, FT-HS

2. Toyota FT-HS

Now when talking about power, you can’t help but wish that you had access to a FT-HS. So far, most of these have been concept cars. Not this one though, as this vehicle is scheduled to go into production in 2009. Soon we can all be salivating at the beauty of its advanced hybrid – gasoline system, capable of moving you from 0 to 100kph/60mph in an astonishing four seconds flat. Now that’s what we call power!

TRANSPORTATION TUESDAYS, green cars, fuel efficient, hybrid cars, hybird engines, engines, motors, diesel, sports cars, Tesla, Roadster

1. The Tesla Roadster

No list would be complete, without what is probably the greenest sports car in the planet. The Tesla Roadster, is the cream of the top. The fully electrically powered sports car can do 0-100kph/60mph in a little over 4 seconds. To give you an idea of how cool this car is, if we were to calculate the fuel efficiency of this vehicle it would be the equivalent of 135 miles PER GALLON! Not bad for a fully electrically powered vehicle. Take that Ferrari!

Chevrolet Blazer

0 comments Posted by org at 1:47 AM


In 1991, Alex Hardy, 37, was driving through a 1987 Chevrolet Blazer White Hall, Alabama Blazer was damaged when the rear axle, the wheel right to free assembly and sent the vehicle into a roll. When the door opened, Hardy was thrown 30-40 feet in the air and suffered serious injuries that made him permanently paralyzed.

Lawyers who represent Hardy filed a lawsuit against General Motors. They alleged that the defective door latch Blazer's injury contributed to Hardy, and that the Blazers GM intentionally sold with defective door latches that opened in an accident like that is owned by Hardy.

GM denied the accusations, arguing that Hardy should be blamed because she had been drinking and fell asleep when his Blazer rolled over. Witnesses to testify that GM Hardy flew through the window because he was not wearing a seat belt.

GM asserted that "their Type 3" bolt the door of a safe and meets federal safety standards. They further stated that the level of side-door ejections from vehicles involved in fatal accidents was 0.77 per 100 inhabitants. Finally, GM's experts testified that the door latch Hardy was only slightly damaged, shows that it does not come open during the accident as he believes.



"Once again, a giant car trying to avoid the facts to obscure the issue," said the lawyer, a nationally recognized auto defects, John Bisnar. "Internal documents-including GM's 1982 study estimated that such hooks could fail about 18,000 times a year-damaged properties underscores GM's third type of door latch This latch has been installed in about 40 million GM vehicles starting in 1978.

A version featuring dishes support only installed on some 1987 models Unfortunately, GM chose not to spend around 916 million U.S. dollars needed to replace all latches .. It chose instead to issue a 'quiet mind' where the dealer was ordered to replace the bolt without notifying their customers. Unfortunately, there were still about 30 million vehicles on the road which is equipped with a hook. "

An Alabama jury awarded $ 50 million in compensation to Mr. Hardy and his family and $ 100 million compensation to the producers for what the jury determined was "guilty knowledge of GM's" of the handicapped slot. This is one of the largest verdict against GM.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into what GM knew about the defect clearly on the door latch. A former administrator of the Federal agents say often took aggressive civil litigation like the Hardy's to dig up evidence and documents that otherwise hidden from federal regulators.

"This decision reveals the fact that GM has known for at least 14 years reprehensible that the U.S. would be hurt and killed by a poorly designed door latch, the part that has failed in the accident after the accident," said Brian Chase from a national auto defect law firm Bisnar recognized Chase. "Actions Mr Hardy in taking GM to court is an example of our justice system at work the jury award for GM-American messages in this case, big enough message that their failure to act was not accepted .. Hopefully, this lawsuit will help convince car makers to respond effectively to safety defects known to prevent further injury to its customers. "
