2012 BMW Zagato Coupe

With Italian and German influences collaborating, BMW has designed an aerodynamically optimized car, which is able to reach the high speeds of a sports car, yet is also comfortable for everyday driving.

The style of the Zagato reflects on what has worked previously, and adds mystique onto the trim lines, to the perfection of the exterior paint. While BMW has been quiet about the specifications, the Zagato Coupe has a familiar look, with a touch of Italian inspiration and technology.

Exterior

The 2012 BMW Zagato Coupe is a hand-built, aluminum body, with an elongated hood. The air intakes are integrated with the hood, which sends extra air to the engine. The grill is highlighted with "Zs" in its mesh in an intricate, classy design, portraying the name.

The rear of the car is formed in almost a single joint. The rear displays an upper transparent panel, and the three-section look uses dark-colored glass surfaces to open up the interior, creating a wider-open look.

The rear bumper is fed into a large diffuser, ending with tail pipes in matte finish. This gives the Zagato an aggressive and sportier look. The body rests on 19 inch, 5-spoke, alloy wheels, with a propeller-type look, and matte finish.

Two domes are built into the roof structure, this is a signature Zagato design, and provide greater headroom. This design also increases the car's aerodynamics, and the roof's rigidity.

Interior

Zagato has highlighted the instrument panel and doors with horizontal lines, creating a roomier and sportier look. The form-fitting seats of grey material, have contrasting red stitching and accents.

The remarkable craftsmanship of the team is displayed, and the letter "Z" is embroidered in red at the top of the seat. The interior is definitely sporty, and the attention to detail is pure class.

Zagato Paint Mystique

The exterior body begins with a coat of black paint. A second coat of metallic silver is then applied, followed by six extremely thin coats of red paint which was especially developed for the Zagato.

It is then sealed with two clear layers, for protection and resilience. The mystique is that this paint can reflect the light in such a way, as to appear from almost a black color, to a brilliant red color, depending on how the light hits the paint.

The broad and low appearance of the 2012 Zagato Coupe, allows for a very powerful and solid road stance.

It is built to go fast, yet meets all normal road requirements. For more information on the Zagato, watch for the upcoming BMW press releases on specifications, and pre-order availability dates.

2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Concept Racer

Bentley will be returning to racing for the first time in almost a decade, thanks to the racing tuned 2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Concept Racer.

The Concept Racer capitalizes on outstanding high-speed stability, exceptional performance and renowned durability of the Continental GT Speed. Bentley intends to achieve this while tailoring its track's specification with the adoption of all-inclusive aerodynamic package, rear-wheel-drive chassis, and high-tech motorsport hardware in compliance with the regulations.

Engine

The Continental GT3 Concept Racer will have a 6.0L W-12 engine, which is expected to be changed to a V8 in the future. Bentley has not yet announced the power output of this racer, but if they were to borrow the 6.0L twin-turbocharged W-12 from the GT Speed; then, the output numbers can be expected to be around 616 hp and 590 lbs-ft of torque.

With the rear-wheel drive in place, it's no doubt that the GT3 will be doing away with the AWD system. In addition, the GT Speed's 8-speed automatic gearbox is also likely to be abandoned for a racier transmission.

Exterior & Interior

The exterior and interior specifications have yet to be provided, but it is expected that the car will come with a redesigned rear and front bumpers for aerodynamics, air intakes, flared wheel-arches of a race car, wide fenders, massive rear spoiler as well as center locking wheels.

 

The interior is made of high-end materials. The GT3 Concept Racer currently has an overall weight of 5,115 pounds.

The development of the 4-seat 2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Concept Racer is expected to continue in the next few months. The GT3 Concept has already received full support from the FIA, and is expected to be featured in motorsport arena including the Le Mans 24-hour marathon later in 2013.

All in all, it will face competition from rivals like Chevrolet Corvettes, Porsche 911s and Ferrari 458 Italias among others.

2012 Peugeot Onyx Concept

The 2012 Peugeot Onyx Concept is tasked to steal the limelight from its rivals especially from its feline face.

Engine

Under the carbon fiber shell, the Onyx Concept is powered by a 3.7L V8 twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and an 80 HP electric motor. These two combine to bring the Onyx's total horsepower to 680. The gasoline engine generates 855 lbs-ft of torque while the electric motor adds 206 lb-ft resulting to a remarkable 1061 lbs-ft of torque.

The power is stored in lithium-ion batteries and sent to the rear wheels using a 6-speed sequential transmission. With such remarkable power output, the Onyx can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.2 seconds. The Onyx Concept's power to weight ratio is impressive and is approximated at 2kg per brake hp. This ratio enables this supercar to achieve high performance without compromising its elegance and purity.

The cockpit does not come with seats; rather it features a tub design with two indentations you slide into. The seating position provides you with excellent road feedback as well as a great view. The cockpit is soundproof, and is made of compressed and stretched felt. The dashboard is made of a new simulated wood, known as Newspaper wood.

The driver can view all engine activities and the vehicle's speed through the heads-up display, while the rearview camera display, located on the ceiling, provides the driver with images from the 3 rearview cameras. Another great feature is the camera mounted between the headrests that capture your driving experience which can later be uploaded to a laptop for review.

The 2012 Peugeot Onyx Concept can only be described as the future supercar that many enthusiasts can only dream of. At the moment, there cannot be any supercar which can be placed in the same class with the Onyx concept
