GM Puma Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility WOW

Initially, you would think that anyone who’s driving the PUMA is driving an electric wheelchair. A closer look however shows you something more. That’s because the PUMA, which stands for Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility is a two-seater vehicle that intends to allow people to travel faster, especially in today’s crowded streets.
It’s just like the highly-popular Segway, although General Motors tells that it’s cheaper and more energy efficient. Having two wheels, the PUMA is powered by one lithium-ion battery that can be charged in any conventional power outlet. Just like most electric vehicles, it can travel as fast as 25 mph, with a total range of 56 kilometers.
The goal of the PUMA is to let people cover as much space as possible, using very little time. Aside from that, it enables people to thread small areas and cramped city spaces without putting much effort at all. Right now, PUMA is still at the development stage although I wouldn’t be surprised if it performs as good as Segway after it is launched.

2011 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD Concept

Camp Chevy has sorely lacked a response to Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor but evidently someone, at least in the concept department, has been listening.

Three inches of lift and 4″ of width have been added to accommodate the mammoth 35″ BGGoodrich KM2 mud-terrain tires wrapped around 20″ aluminum wheels. Other additions included Fox off-road shocks, satin metal and leather wrapped interior, and stereo upgrades galore. GM has no plans to bring this concept to production, but all we have to say is, “build it and they will come.”

Awsome BMW MERRY X MASS AD

Mini Paceman Concept - Auto Shows


Arguably the best looking MINI yet, the new Paceman (not Pacman) concept is what the fun British brand refers to as a Sports Activity Coupe. Along the lines of the BMW X6, the Paceman takes MINI’s new Countryman crossover and lops-off two of the doors.
The concept car appears to be somewhat lower than the Countryman, but as is obvious from the flared rear fenders, it does feature all-wheel drive. As for what’s under the hood, well, this is a concept and so it’s MINI’s best offering: the 211-hp John Cooper Works turbocharged 4-cylinder.

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe

Since its inception, the BMW 1 Series has always been a bit of an ugly duckling — there, steadfast, ready to perform, but simply too repulsive to seriously consider. Then, one day, (coincidentally the same time we received a batch of photos) the BMW 1 Series underwent the Mermaid Theory and we suddenly found ourselves overwrought with attraction. You may too. The Motorsport treatment is finally coming to the 1 Series with the 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe and ‘ze German is lighter, tauter and rowdier. For the 1, BMW has tuned the much-lauded twin-turbocharged engine to generate 335 horsepower paired with an overboost feature that spins up-to 369 lb-ft of torque for short bursts — that’s good for 4.7 second 0-60 mph times. BMW has also made body improvements for aerodynamics and the wider stance, significantly revised the suspension, enlarged the brakes, tuned the exhaust, and added 19″ wheels from the M3 Competition Package. Further proof the 1 Series M Coupe is for enthusiasts: it’s only available with a short-shift six-speed manual.

Porsche Design Bobsleigh

If traditional sleds leave you for want, then perhaps Porsche Design Bobsleigh ($260) is more your cup of nog. Designed after a pair of parabolic skis, Porsche Design has designed an ultralight advanced composite bobsled (just 8.8 lbs) with improved steer-ability and a specifically designed camber angle that keeps surface contact at the edge of the runners for better maneuverability. In fact, it takes little more than a body shifts within the formed seat to quickly steer or slow the bobsled. Ironically, the performance sled also meets German safety standards and includes a storage bag. Now, about that turbo…

2015 Lotus Eterne Hybrid Concept Unveiled at 2010 Paris Auto Show

PARIS — Think of it as a statement of intent, says Lotus of its Eterne luxury four-seater GT hybrid, which bears quite a resemblance to Aston Martin's four-door Rapide. That intent is planning for a launch in spring 2015. The Eterne debuted today at the 2010 Paris Auto Show.
The Eterne would be Lotus' first four-door sedan if it makes the showroom, powered by the same Toyota-sourced 620-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 employed by the new Esprit. A hybrid drive system is optional, comprising electric motors and a Formula-1-style KERS energy recuperation system. The Eterne will be offered in both rear- and all-wheel-drive forms with a full hybrid transmission that's good for 196 mph and a 0-60-mph time of 4.0 seconds. It's projected to cost $190,000.

2011 Lexus CT 200h


Lexus says the point of the Drive Mode Select is to allow "highly distinct characters" for more driver choice. Waxing poetic, the company calls the CT 200h's "hybrid attitude" the Darker Side of Green.
The four driving modes are Normal, Eco, EV and Sport. The first three are intended to emphasize "more relaxed driving" including smooth acceleration and minimal interior noise. The EV mode is for speeds under 25 mph and for up to a mile, on electric motor power unaided by the engine. Eco mode reduces throttle response to "aggressive" use of the accelerator and modifies the air-conditioning for the best fuel economy.
As its name suggests, Sport mode is the most dynamic choice, with faster response to driver input, higher rpm and more direct steering feedback. Operation of Lexus' vehicle stability control and traction control systems is "less intrusive" for more driving fun, the automaker says.
The Normal, EV and Eco modes use a "hybrid blue" backlighting on the instrument panel and show a hybrid power indicator. In Sport mode, the backlighting changes to red and the hybrid power indicator is swapped out for a tachometer.

2012 Porsche Cayman R

In a world where single letter monikers demarcate unique editions, Porsche reserves “R” for its special, very special cars. Coming this February, the 2012 Porsche Cayman R ($66,000-$91,000) will arrive to driving enthusiasts’ delight with 10 more horsepower (330 total) and 120 less pounds.

Combine this with the 3.4 liter flat-six mid-engine’s extra power, virtually flawless PDK dual-clutch transmission. limited-slip differential, Sport Chrono package and you have yourself a 4.4 second 0-60 mph Porsche Cayman. As for the color, it’s safe to say that only Porsche could pull off the equivalent of lime green and still make it look so damn good.

Startech Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition

Danish tuning company Startech has leaked a custom variant for one of our most favorite vehicles, the Land Rover Defender. On display at this year’s Essen Motorshow, the Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition is essentially a standard hardtop Defender SVX from the outside only distinguished by its custom bright white paint, running boards with integrated entrance lights and wider tires. The interior, however, is a different story completely. Startech has swapped out the standard leather with a custom navy blue leather complete with contrasting seams. The leather is liberally applied across nearly every coverable surface including the paint-matched Recaro seats. Other “upgrades” include a navy blue Alcantara headliner, navigation and revamped sound system, custom steering wheel, and other component upgrades — many swathed in the same custom leather. A ruggedized Defender this is not, but after all, you know what they say about yachting being a lifestyle…
