Love the twist to the ad (as Engadget pointed out, it’s a throwback to the original Lexus LS ad). I also really dig the interface for the dash. Fantastic, flashy, but totally usable. (Found on Engadget) While not the best, BMW’s latest ad effort in Singapore still looks amazing. I love how caught up the crowd is with the projection. (Found on Autoblog) Wow…this is just pure car porn. Without a doubt. The carbon fibre is just so pretty… Did anyone else have one of these growing up? Drool. (Found on @kevinrose) The Geneva Motor Show 2010 has begun, and already car companies are letting loose some amazing designs accompanied with other companies and their “what-were-they-thinking” cars. So far, some of the winners have to be the Porsche 918 Concept, the 2011 Lotus Elise, the 2011 Volvo S6, Audi A1, Peugeot SR1 Concept, and Alfa Romeo 2uettottana by Pinifarina. Two cars that I really want to like but am not sure about the looks is the new Koenigsegg Agera and the Alfa Romea Guiletta. I can’t help but feel that the Koenigsegg looks a bit feminine with the line of LED lights across the top of its headlights, and the Alfa looks a bit too much like an animal’s snout fromt he front. Finally, we have the real failures, mingers as Top Gear would put it. These cars are truly a bit of w-t-f, and a bit of what-were-they-thinking combined. We have the Nissan Juke, the Mini Countryman, and the Mercedes F800 Concept. Eww! Thanks to Autoblog for their excellent coverage and pictures of all the pretty (and ugly) cars. Bugatti has recently unveiled their brand new concept car, dubbed the 16C Galibier Concept. This car is supposed to hint towards what the production version of the 16C Galibier will look like when it is unveiled in its marketable form in 2012. It’s being powered by the same 8.0L engine from the Veyron, but has swapped the 4 turbochargers for 2 superchargers. This power is mated to a gorgeous EIGHT PIPE exhaust system at the back. And here is when you realize the difference. While both the Veyron and the 16C Galibier strive to be the ultimate cars, they are in two different segments. One in the hypercar/supercar segment, while the other in the fast four-door sedan. The lights of the cars are truely breathtaking, sucking you into the soul of the cars through those large eyes. Behind you see the swooping long front hood, with the “spine” running right from nose to tail. Behind the windscreen, you are in a clean but highly luxurious interior. With long wood panels adorning the interior, the 4 bucket seats look so comfortable and accommodating. The final production version of this car is expected to be priced at a cool US$1.6 million. Ouch. (Found on Autoblog)
Lexus’ oft-rumored highly leaked and conceptualized LF-A supercoupe is finally coming to production. 65% of the body of the car is carbon fibre, allowing the 4.8 liter V10 560 hp 354 lb-ft engine to propel the car from 0-62 mph in just 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 201.94 mph. Production is going to be limited to just 500 units, so I am sure the price is going to astronomical. However, stepping back from the specs, I really can’t say I love how the car looks from the front. It looks normal, even boring, from the front. The back looks great from most angles, but there are some really bad angles that make the large black triangles look even larger. Thoughts? (Found on Autoblog)
