This is the Cadillac Aera (Aero + Era) launches Cadillac's philosophy of "Art and Science" into new territory by taking an innovative and stylistic approach to ultra-light weight vehicle design. LOS ANGELES – The Cadillac Aera concept vehicle won the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge, tying with Smart and besting entries from seven other automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Maybach. GM Advanced Design has now won the honor more times than any other design team.

General Motors advanced design California has come up with a concept cars zero-emission vehicle as part of this year’s LA Auto Show Design Challenge. Cadillac Sports Cars Aera lightweight Concept Car is a 1000 lb, 2+2 touring coupe, with a range of 1000 miles before refueling; attributes achieved without compromising size, capacity and safety. With an ability to seat four, the vehicle uses a body structure made from mono-formed 3D lattice that is extremely sturdy.

This marks the third time that the group from General Motors has won this challenge, giving them the most wins out of all automakers that enter. The Cadillac Aera Concept hit on all areas that the judges were looking for and, despite the futuristic styling, still carries some recognizable lines from Cadillacs of today.

Jussi Timonen, lead designer for the project shared: „The Cadillac Sports Cars Aera concept was designed to continue the forward-thinking imagination of Cadillac’s ‘art and science’ philosophy. It’s designed as a small city urban vehicle, but we approached this 2+2 touring coupe very much from the brand’s luxury perspective. Every detail of the Aera was conceived to minimize the vehicle’s environmental impact without sacrificing the style, comfort and attention to detail that are hallmarks of the Cadillac cars brand.”

Drift na Serra do Rio do Rastro – SC

Para quem não conhece a Serra do Rio do Rastro já acha complicado e perigoso andar em alta velocidade ali.

Mas para quem, como eu, já passou por ali acha extremamente perigoso. Já passei algumas vezes por esta serra, inclusive este ano. E ela é muito estreita apesar, de ser feita em concreto, existe muito limo na pista alguma partes com gelo e muito movimento.

Mas para o Rhys Millen parece que a serra não é tão assustadora assim. Veja o vídeo com um trecho das filmagens feitas com Rhys Millen fazendo drift na Rio do Rastro em Santa Catarina (Vamos aguardar as outras filmagens).



E eu que cheguei a 60 km/h lá e estava me sentindo um motorista ousado.

2010 Volvo Sport Cars Air Motion Concept

At the Los Angeles Design Challenge Competition, Volvo took the open-air experience at a whole new level with its ‘lighter than a Formula 1 racing car’ study project – the Volvo Air Motion. Besides its strong yet ultra-light body structure, the Air Motion concept cars vehicle further adds to its superlatives eco-friendliness, as it is not using a single drop of gasoline while driving wild.

Volvo Air Motion is a sports cars that runs on powerful, yet simple compressed air motors that, unlike an internal combustion engine, cools down under load rather than heat up. The air tank is centrally mounted and receives compressed air through wind-powered air replenishment sites that float 1000ft in the air. Its beautiful Scandinavian body is designed like a clam shell and sculptured from ultra light carbon fiber.

2010 Volvo Sport Cars Air Motion Concept

Tipping the scales at under 1,000 pounds (453 kg), the Volvo Air Motion Concept is lighter than a Formula One car and employs a similar open-wheel configuration.

2010 Volvo Sport Cars Air Motion Concept

The 2010 Volvo Sport Cars Air Motion Concept was developed around the idea that minimizing the weight and complexity means maximizing driving enjoyment. Volvo built the cars with fewer components and replaced the heavy internal combustion engine with powerful, yet simple, compressed air motors.
To compress the air needed for the centrally mounted air tank, Air Replenishment Sites are used. Powered by air turbines floating 1,000ft in the air they harness the power of the wind and convert it to electricity to provide the compression. The motors cool down with increased load, instead of heating up, which eliminates the need for cooling systems. The chassis, interior and suspension employ an integrated design which brings a notable contribution to the lowered weight.

Aimed at the driving enthusiast, by a company synonymous with safety and environmental care, the Volvo Air Motion Concept demonstrates the beauty and purity of Scandinavian design and delivers a guilt free, raw driving experience.

Elan is expected to go to production in summer of 2013 and will be available for purchase in fall of 2013. Like the Evora, the Lotus Elan features 2+2 seating, suggesting that the new Evora may not really have a long life at Lotus. Prices for the production Elan are estimated to start around $118,500 ( £75,000 ).

Lotus Elan Concept Power is provided by a mid-mounted 4.0-liter V6 engine with 450 PS (331 kW / 444 hp) and 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) of toque.

If that fails to attract your attention, perhaps you’ll be interested in the hybrid variant which will have CO2 emissions as low as 199 g/km. With performance specs like that, there's a little double that Elan is supercar.

From a styling perspective, the Elan is built like an athlete with a muscular physique and perfect poise. It’s a thoroughbred, rigid with tension, ambitious and addictive, nothing but best in class will suffice for this car.

“The Elan will convert people to Lotus, I would challenge people not to become addicted to driving it. It will also go a long way towards dispelling the old misconceptions about this class, that in order to have high performance you must sacrifice usability – those days are gone.”

“Once you drive an Elan you won’t look back, it will give you things you didn’t even realise you were missing – that’s the essence of Lotus and the Elan perfectly captures that spirit.”

Attractive Concept Cars

A concept car can also be known as show cars which demonstrate new futuristic design, technology, improved safety devices, and radical changes which are still under consideration whether to go for mainstream production. Concepts cars have amazing designs you probably see in sci-fi movies. It turns heads instantly if seen out in the road, but rarely seen because it is usually in a showcase display for innovation and amusement. Of course these concepts cars would not be cheap enough for the “Average Joe” income to purchase, but still extraordinary to lay eyes on. Many car manufacture companies have designed their own concept cars. Here are some neat looking concept cars,

Top 10 Most Extreme Custom Cars in the World from SEMA 2007

Custom Car 1. 1963 Corvette

It's hard to believe that under
all that under all the graphics and performance parts this used to be classic
small block Chevy. The heart of this mighty machine is a 400 cubic inch twin
turbo V8. When fully spooled, it makes...2200 horsepower. (Let that
sink in for a few seconds). The engine bay had to be extended and hood
modified to house the new power-plant. According to Rod Saboury, the owner,
it's the fastest street-legal car in the world. And it still has factory
roll-up headlights and cup-holders.

Custom Car 2. Blastolene B-702

This
picture is worth more than 1000 words. This amazing work of art was designed by
the Blastolene Brothers ( Michael Leeds and Randy Grubb), the same masterminds
behind Jay Leno's "Tank Car." It sits at 19.5 feet long and 94 inches
wide. One look at the size of the hood and the number of tubes on the headers
should give you a slight hint to the 702ci V12 that's hiding underneath.
Everything sits on a custom made frame. Toss in the leather
interior and custom made
trimmings and you have the hottest car on the road.

Custom Car 3. 1950 "Mercules"

All the way from Australia comes a custom 1950 Mercury. This blue beauty has seen over 175
body modifications to get where it is today, one of which chopped off 4 inches
of headroom. Adding to the already outstanding combination is a 6.8 liter
supercharged V10. That potent power-plant drives the 1950 Merc to the front of
the line when it comes to custom hot rods.

Custom Car 4. Pontiac Solstice SD-290

Ah the forgotten days of racing. This concept from Pontiac
looks like a modern version of the 1930's style race cars and it's
built like one too. It comes from the factory with a 4 point racing
harness, no windshield and a built in roll bar. Don't plan on taking
your date out in this either, there's no passenger seat. Holding it to
the road is a set of 19" wheels wrapped in Hoosier Racing Tires. Good thing too because the Turbo 2.0 liter Ecotec lays down close to 300 horsepower.

Custom Car 5. Mercedes SL 600

This new Mercedes
is extreme in a whole new way. It was extremely time consuming to
build. Even though SEMA wasn't the first time the public saw this SL
600, it still got a ton of attention. How could you miss is with over
300,00 Swarovski crystals covering the exterior. Even the interior got
some crystal accents. At least you will never lose your car at night
anymore.

Custom Car 6. 1988 Caprice

An '88 Caprice on 30 inch Asanti wheels, enough said. All of the suspension
components are either chromed of painted to match the House of Kolor
Violet Kandy body coat. The interior is made of white leather and
purple suede. Under the hood is a 400 cubic inch small block fitted
with a Wieland Supercharger and fed by a pair of Holly Dominators.

Custom Car 7. Mercedes R500

Extreme
Audio is the name of this game. Alpine’s Advanced Application R&D
team is unbeatable when it comes to innovation and installation of the
newest audio goodies. This year they chose the R500 to show-off their
latest Signal Processing Technology. The R500 was also an
accomplishment for the engineers who installed everything. The doors
were turned to suicide and attached to the front seats. Even more
amazing is the front seats swivel to make entering and exiting the
vehicle easier. Resting in the truck

is a motorized rack holding 6 of Alpines PDX amplifiers that rotates out for display purposes.
