The suspender is exposed as to small alteration, but the engine is pumped in by steroids to monstrous indicators. Last characteristic for Underground Racing creation – "pumped over" Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera.

Americans have fitted to 5,2-litre "ten" two turbines, have slightly finished cooling and release system then capacity of the power unit increased to 1500 h.p. The car have been sent on racing line "The Texas Mile" where it could dispersed to 403 km/h. And,"Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera"could show and a great speed but the matter is that "The Texas Mile" is a former airdrome with rather small runway.

(from Hamann Press Release)

Hamann Porsche 911 Turbo Stallion-433 2008 Hamann Porsche 911 Turbo Stallion-233
A thoroughbred stallion with 630 horse powers: The HAMANN STALLION based on the Porsche 911 Turbo.Like an Arabian stallion collecting its attention for a jump. Concentrated and full of dynamic body tension. This is how the silhouette of the super sports car called STALLION presents itself. But the latest development of the premium refiner HAMANN MOTORSPORT offers far more than a fascinating new aerodynamics concept. The efficiency boost to 630 hp and the HAMANN-sport chassis turn the STALLION into one of the most powerful and fastest sports car in the whole world.The core of the Stallion is its modified engine. The Hamman motor technicians enhance the 3.6 litres Boxer Biturbo motor from standard 480 hp / 353 kW to 630 hp / 463 kW at 6,300 rpm. The upgrade also includes two larger VNT (variable nozzle turbochargers), a sport air strainer, a stainless steel exhaust system with metal catalytic converters and a new motor management.

These are measures which certainly hit their target. The Hamman Stallion accelerates to 100 km/h in only 3.3 seconds and is therefore six tenth of a second faster than its serial counterpart. The new maximum speed tag is sensational. With its efficiency boost and the reduced air resistance by Hamman -Aerodynamics, the Stallion achieves a maximum speed of 359 km/h.

Only the most precious materials can be found in the interior. Stallion The Hamman upholsterers only use selected leather for covering the fittings and sport seats. Aluminum gear shift and aluminum pedals make the cockpit gleam in a noble look and perfectly match with the carbon parts of the interior set. Precisely applied embroideries of the Hamman logo in the floor mats and headrests set further creative accents. All of these features complement one another in a stylish symbioses of motor sports flair and lifestyle.

MCE MC1 Revealed By Car Magazine

supercars-porsche-911-gt2-2008A few spy shots of an unknown but impressive car, made everybody to wonder what type and what brand this concept is? Many tried to give their best guesses, they even labeled the car to be the new Lotus Esprit, but they were all wrong.

According to Car Magazine the super car is named MCE MC1 and they actually presented a few great photos of the concept. The car’s body was designed by David Hilton who is also responsible for other cool draws like the Ford Focus RS and S-Max. In this project are involved two companies, MotorCity Europe and C2P Automotive, each with definite responsibilities. While MCE it’s responsible for the design, C2P will develop and manufacture this supercar.
Car Magazine was kind enough to specify some technical details, a V10 engine which produces 600 HP and the chassis should be entirely made of carbon fiber, 20-inch wheels in front and 21-inch wheels in rear. They also said that MC1 will be shorter and narrower than a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 but 15mm higher.

We hope that they will find enough finances to take the project into production line and we think MCE MC1 will draw everybody’s attention when cruising.

The Lightning GT Super Car

super_cars_GT
A new super car is born.The Lightning GT,developed by Lightning Car Company, is a 100% electric car. The engine is electric, of course, and generates 700 BHP. The top speed for this super car is more than 200 kmh. For an electric engine this car is very powerfull. The battery system, designed by NanoSafe, is the heart of the power. it’s new, it’s great, and it’s spelled “POWER”. The battery recharges very fast, for at least 250 miles only 10 minutes of recharging would be needed. The Lightning GT has another cool feature. Every time the car brakes or slows down, the kinetic energy is transformed into heat and forwarded to the battery as electricity. It self regenerates. For the bodywork, the UK designers used Carbon fibre,aluminium and Kevlar technology.The interior is a luxury one. It has incorporated Satellite navigation, an Ipod interface and a virtual engine sound. Of course , it has only two seats, so it’s tagged as a sport car. I don’t know … the bodykit is simillar somehow with the Dodge Viper. Especially the front of the car. Anyway, it’s truly a super car. And this time it’s not made by the germans. The british company “wins terrain” in the super car battlefield.Though the engine is powerfull, a small glitch is this : it accelerates rather slow. From 0 to 60 kmh in almost 4 seconds. But we can overpass that. The other features of the engine saves it’s reputation : total weather proofing,several levels of redundancy and a total energy transfer. These make it a super engine. The price for this super car is not yet set, because the Lightning GT will be launched on the market just before the end of 2008. Until then, let’s hope the UK will bring on the market a few more sport cars .
