Mitsubishi RA





At Detroit Auto Show there were a lot of new car concepts revealed, some of them simply beautiful and others not so impressive but one car surely impressed everyone: Mitsubishi RA. This new Mitsubishi concept is a coupe diesel car with an ultraseductive design. That red color makes it look like it’s alive, the rims with a design like a spider web add more details to this car and everything seems to fit right. The car is equipped with one of the best diesel engines, 2.2L 16 V with four cylinders that could develop 240 HP and a maximum torque of 420 Nm. It’s not too powerful but i think you’ll drive really slow with a car like this one because everyone has to see it, and enjoy each moment when it passes near them. The engine is also really clean and follows the latest environment protection standards. It is said that this lovely car will replace Mitsubishi Eclipse in the future and if the stock car will look just like this one i bet everyone will try to buy a new one. Those lamborghini doors are simply brilliant and if you’ll take a look inside the car’s interior you will be amazed by how luxurious it can be. The seats are covered with the finest leather and those wooden elements and a classic look to the car that you will love for sure.

Giugiaro Fazer-Nash Namir





Fazer-Nash was long ago a famous British car maker and even though they are no longer building cars the company is still around searching for the next big thing which could get them back in everyone’s attention. The company started to develop hybrid drive systems and they teamed with one of the best car design companies in the world, Italdesign Giugiaro to make an extreme concept called Namir. They made a series hybrid drivetrain that uses an 814cc rotary engine which drives a generator. The generator charges a 400V lithium battery pack which feeds electrons to a the car’s electric motors at each axle and the car has 362 HP.

This hybrid system and the breathtaking aerodynamic design will make this car accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and it should reach a top speed of over 300 km/h. This would make it the fastest hybrid car in the world and imagine you could reach incredible speeds with just 91.7 mpg fuel usage. Frazer-Nash, we think you might get back on top!

Lamborghini : Fighter jet inspired supercar design









The Lamborghini Reventon is probably the most well-known fighter jet-inspired supercar, and its influence presents itself in the design of the Muska supercar concept from Krasnov Igor. The fighter jet influence becomes more pronounced once you take a look at the rear of the concept, and see its thruster-shaped rear exhausts. A closer inspection may reveal design cues from other supercars, but overall, the Muska has good looks, and a good stance.
