Mazda Reveals Kazamai Concept
August 26th, 2008
Mazda finally revealed the very unique Kazamai concept during the Moscow Motor Show and they made sure that all eyes were on them when it happened. During the revealing they had four sets of dancers. The men wore neon pink shorts and roller skates and they had a Russian singing troop wearing Soviet-style dress.
Despite the strange theatrics, the Kazamai is one of our favorite Nagare-themed concepts since the Furai and Kabura. The Kazamai blends the “flow” theme we’ve seen on several other concepts with a more aerodynamic body and a slightly toned-down demeanor.

August 21st, 2008
For those of you who think that the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera are not fast enough cars for you then you will love the new supercar that Koenigsegg has plans for and will be showing off at the Geneva Motor Show. The supercar is supposed to be all carbon fiber, four door and 700 horsepower.
The car is planned to hit the showroom in 2010, and has been under development for two years. Koenigsegg’s Dubai manager said the car “will weigh less than any other performance saloon on sale, and will have a top speed of 350 KPH.” Cause nothing says “I’m fast” like a 217 MPH afternoon with the family.

Automakers are always trying to keep new concepts under wraps and out of the public eye so as to surprise them when the final product is finished and revealed. Unfortunately Maserati seemed to have forgotten the general rules and left the new Gran Turismo Spyder all on its lonesome in Modena.
A tourists walking by managed to spot the supercar and took pictures that showed off the two-piece roof and the trunk of the car - which looks to still be in the early stages of development.
You can expect the Gran Turismo Spyder to make its debut in Paris later this year, with sales beginning in early 2009.

The shield of the four door, four-seater coupe’s grille is the focal point of the front superstructure and gives rise to strong design lines that run up the bonnet, over the roof and onto the boot-deck lid to give the RC a strong visual presence. The RC also showcases new green technology in the form of a hybrid drivetrain that is claimed to have a potential maximum power output of 313bhp and emissions of just 109g/km.
