KTM X-Bow Will Be Coming To The United States
August 25th, 2008
KTM has been producing motorcycles since 1934 - but when it comes to making cars they are brand new to the industry. However, that doesn’t stop them from producing cars that will appeal to many different consumers.
They stated today that they will be bringing the X-Bow track car over into the United States and will be making it street legal. Many of us were disappointed when they stated earlier that they would only be selling it in Europe and Asia. We are happy to see they changed their minds.
BMW Turns Focus From Supercars To Hybrids
August 25th, 2008
When we saw the BMW M1 Hommage concept we immediately began to ask when we were going to get a chance to see the production version. However, we might not get a chance to see it - at least not for a very long time.
A board member from BMW stated that they have no plans to produce a supercar that will be able to compete with the new Audi R8. They have decided to focus all of their attention and resources on green technologies.
Bentley Voted No To Future Diesel Models
August 25th, 2008
Bentley stated this week that there is a high chance they will not be producing any diesel models in the near future. This decision comes despite the fact that many of their toughest competitors will be doing just this.
Bentley has actually been conducting surveys among many of their customers and buyers and have asked them whether or not they would consider buying one of these models. The majority of them told Bentley that they were not interested in the prospect of owning a diesel model.
Bugatti To Produce Revised 4-Door Model Of Veyron
August 22nd, 2008
We have been wondering for some time now what new supercar Bugatti will produce and whether or not they would even be able to outdo the Veyron. Not only is the Veyron an incredible sophisticated looking car - but it is also a very powerful car that anyone of us would love to get our hands on.
So what would happen if they produced a revised model that would have 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 pound-foot of torque? Several rumors are pointing to this very thing.
Blue Fusion’s Rossi 66
August 21st, 2008
It is not uncommon for certain automakers to take a modern chassis of a Corvette, the fiberglass bodywork, and jettisons, and add a brand new shell that looks very similar to that of an older Corvette. One of the most famous of these was the ‘62’ ‘Vert from Classic Reflection Coachworks that had C5 underpinnings.
Now a company by the name of Blue Fusion has tackled the iconic split window. One problem: their press release continually refers to the 1966 split window, which doesn’t exist as the only year the two-piece rear glass was produced was ‘63. The resultant Rossi 66 cribs the workings of a modern C6 Corvette and adds a unique Sting Ray look.
