Anyway...
We're just a week or so into the new year and there are just so many new stuff to look forward to. By new stuff I actually meant new cars to look forward to but hey, even if you're not really a car person, just having a scroll to look at these awesome machines could probably awaken your long unfounded interest in cars.
So here are actually some of the up and coming cars and concepts which I've found on the web...
Let me just start things off with some awesome machinery from Aston Martin.
Aston Martin One-77
This car is powered by a 7.3 liter V12 engine which produces more than 750HP. It could reach 100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of more than 355km/h. What makes it even more special? 77 units of these will only be available.
Next up...
Volkswagen Scirocco R
When it comes to Volkswagen, the GTI comes to mind cuz it was a great car. But when the Scirocco came along, the stunning exterior just took my breathe away. I'm a great fan of sporty cars so this definitely made it to the top cars on my list.
When it comes to futuristic cars, how could you not mention Honda right?
Honda CR-Z
Right, so here's Honda concept, the CR-Z which is a hybrid and more importantly, it comes in a manual transmission. So are we looking at the first hybrid sports car? It has also been spotted doing test on the roads so I can assume that this car is VERY close to production.
Staying in the land of the rising sun...
Subaru Impreza R205
Subaru has been consistently plying its trade in the WRC (World Rally Championship) with its long standing Impreza. What you see above is the new range topping Impreza which has an engine tuned to churn out 320 PS at 6,400rpm and 431Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, mated to a 6-speed manual and an uncountable amount of upgrades and improvements. Impressive!
Moving over to Europe now...
Peugeot SR1 concept
Although only a concept, this car has actually quite a lot to say as it showcases Peugeots new design language for the next 5 years or so. This car has two combination of motors, a hybrid as well as an electric motor which produces 313HP. Now that's style and substance.
Don't forget the Americans...
Ford Focus
I'm actually a huge fan of the Ford Focus which is why the all new 3rd generation Ford Focus 5 door hatchback made it here. Here you have Ford's Kinetic design language which is always good to look at. This Focus features a 2.0 liter DI Ti-VCT engine (direct injection and dual VVT) mated to a 6-speed Powershift dual clutch transmission. Now I don't really know what that means, it just sounds awesome.
Finally, back to the land of the rising sun...
Lexus LFA
I'm saving the very best for the last here. This is the Lexus new supercar, which would most probably go neck to neck with Nissan's Skyline R35. This car not only looks impressive, in actual fact, it REALLY is an impressive car, hence, the supercar status. I'm not gonna go into the technical part of it but I am able to tell you that this car has a 4.8 liter V10 engine which churns out 552hp. This engine enables the LFA to hit 100km/h in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 325km/h as well. Neways, check the video out...
I would definitely love to see the Lexus LFA go against a Nissan Skyline R35... hmmm... that would be awesome!
