Nissan GT-R by Shadow Sports Design

Craftsmanship went into the design of the Shadow Sports Design GT-R.
These are demonstrated in the manner in which the front spoiler vents flow to the brakes. Rear downforce is improved by the shapely design and elevation of the rear spoiler. The under diffuser at the rear are made of dry carbon and comes with high functionality.Weight has been reduced in comparison to the original.



Shadow Sports Design has given access to details regarding its Nissan GT-R conversion. The car has been given a number of new parts to enhance its performance. A carbon fiber rear spoiler is fitted and elevated to improve downforce. There is a rear air diffuser installed as well for the same purpose.



With this package the GT-R looks different enough from the standard car to grab your attention but in a way that you could easily have mistaken it as a proposal that came straight out of Nissan's factory.

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback In U.S.

The five-door Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback is coming to the States for the 2010 model year and sales will begin this summer. The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback builds on the already competent Lancer sedan, although the overall length is slightly longer to accommodate the new hatch. One-touch auto-folding rear seats split 60:40 to make room for "active lifestyle" parcels and Mitsubishi dropped the rear cargo area floor by three inches to create 52.7 cubic-feet of space when the rear thrones are folded flat.



Equipment available on the Sportback editions of the Lancer GTS and Ralliart will mirror that included in the sedans. GTS models will have a 2.4-liter inline-four good for 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque coupled to either a five-speed manual or a CVT with six simulated gear ratios.



The Ralliart will be powered by a 237-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-four bolted exclusively to a six-speed, dual-clutch automated manual that Mitsubishi calls TC-SST (Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission). Sportbacks boast one-touch folding rear seats and a cargo-area floor that can be lowered by three inches to boost maximum cargo volume to 53 cubic feet. Watch for the Sportbacks to appear in U.S. showrooms this summer as 2010 models.

2009 Volvo C30 Racer by Vizualtech Design

Volvo got a long history in saloon car racing, and should do well with this car in DTM or Lemans type racing, and get new appeal to the brand. The idea was to create a Diesel or "green" racing car with low emissions and high output, combined with nasty looks. Design is all Vizualtech team.



A 2009 Volvo C30 at its core, the Vizualtech C30 Racer has been outfitted with a massive rear spoiler, bulging side-sills, a chunky rear-diffuser, and a heavy-duty front spoiler designed specifically to improve downforce. Simply a design firm and thus lacking the resources to breathe life into any such ambitious project, Vizualtech’s C30 racer is merely a rendering of what a DTM or Le Mans-ready C30 could look like if ever manufactured.



While undeniably an impressive ride, we hope that should the Vizualtech C30 Racer dream ever be realized, someone takes the initiative to swap out the C30’s 227-horsepower turbocharged 5-banger with an engine that could actually generate enough downforce to necessitate the need for that massive front spoiler.

2010 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Details

Aston Martin’s Vantage began life with a 380 horsepower V8 that many enthusiasts felt was underpowered given the potential of the chassis and underlying technology. More recently, the V8 Vantage was updated with a 420 horsepower motor. But Aston has decided to take it one step further with the V12 Vantage — a new version of the car with 510 horsepower under its hood.



The V12 Vantage was previewed with a concept in 2007. The car was first shown when the automaker christened its new design studio and later displayed at 2008 Geneva Motor Show Show.



On the outside, the 2010 V12 Vantage gets a host of minor styling changes to differentiate itself from "lesser" V8 Vantage models, most noticable of which is the louvered hood. Carbon fiber front and rear air dams, as well as low and lean skirts from Aston Martin Racing round out the package.



2010 V12 Vantage pricing is not yet announced, we'll have to wait for Geneva for that. Initial reports have put the V12 Vantage at around $250,000. For those who want a piece of serious Aston Martin performance but don't want to drop a cool million for the exclusive One-77, Aston Martin may have just the remedy. Expect a V12 Vantage release date of Q3 2009.

Peugeot Wallpapers and Video Collection

The Peugeot 907 is a concept car from Peugeot. Revealed first at the Paris motor show in 2003, the car was created by styling chief Gérard Welter and designer Jean-Christophe Bolle-Reddat to celebrate the closure of the firm's 40- year-old design centre at La Garenne, and the opening of a new one at Vélizy.

The Peugeot 406 is a large family car from the French automaker Peugeot from 1995 to 2004. Available in sedan, station wagon and coupé bodystyles with a choice of gasoline or turbodiesel engines, the 406 replaced the Peugeot 405 in Peugeot's lineup, and was itself replaced by the Peugeot 407. It used the same platform as the Citroën Xantia, though without that car's sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension system.



Pininfarina designed the Peugeot 406 Coupe which is recognized as one of the most well styled cars on the road. I can't imagine My life without this car, Peugeot 406 Coupe.



The Peugeot 307 is a family car produced by the French Peugeot manufacturer since 2001. It was awarded the European Car of the Year title for 2002, and continues in production as of 2008 despite the launch of the 308 (its intended successor) in September 2007.




The Peugeot 908 RC is powered by Peugeot's V12 HDi DPFS (diesel particulate fi lter system) diesel engine designed to take part in the 'Le Mans Race Series' programme in 2007.
