Lamborghini Aventador J official unveil at Geneva

The Volkswagen Group owns 11 brands producing over 240 models across 490 factories around the globe. From its busy schedule, it took time to call the media to boast its fleet of cars coming up this year and all the who, what and when of the auto world.
Among these cars was the much anticipated, Lamborghini Aventador J, which followed a leak this weekend. This speedster is described as the most uncompromised super sports car built by the automaker. The idea was to build a Lambo that just one hardcore fan would own, and the Lamborghini Aventador J is the most stunning and unexpected take of the Geneva Motor Show.

Inspired from Formula cars, the Lamborghini Aventador J is built around a carbon monocoque with an open driving position, adapted from the coupe version of Aventador. However, it does not follow the high-tech features that the coupe version or any other Lamborghini flagship model carries.
Instead, it is built to deliver the most unforgiving power that any sports car in history has every attempted. It borrows the LP 700-4 coupe, Aventador’s power plant, a 700 hp/690 Nm, 6.5-litre V12 engine, ISR transmission, pushrod suspension, and all-wheel-drive system.
To become the most uncompromised supercar, the speedster got done away with the front windshield. The driver’s face is now exposed to 300kmph of speed without a proper protective gear.
On the front, it features wider intake and a small upward-tilting winglets on the edges, giving the speedster the look of a Formula car from the side, says Lamborghini.
Furthermore, to lose weight, the J dumped the air-conditioning system, stereo, the roof and windshield. The carbon fiber monocoque, dubbed Carbonskin is also featured in the J’s exterior and interior. It is developed by soaking woven carbon fiber in a special epoxy resin that retains its flexibility. With the windshield gone, the car loses it’s a-Pillar. So Lamborghini came up with periscope-stype rear-view mirror that stands up on its own.

The President and CEO of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann describes it as the most definitive DNA of the Lamborghini brand and its extreme features are as uncompromising as only a Lamborghini can be.
As for the ‘J’, it is derived from the technical sporting rulebook of the different category races under the FIA. Maybe its got something to do with the height of the Aventador, the lowest model built by Lamborghini. It features five-spoke 20-inch wheels in front and 21-inch at the back. The five-spoke aluminum forged design with center lock and carbon fiber insert designed to aid brake ventilation, it is exclusively for the J. The rear sports a huge diffuser, aiding aerodynamic downforce at high speeds, alongside the rear spoiler.
This marvelous piece of engineering is one-of a kind built. There will not be any future models or prototypes and to our disappointment, it’s already sold for over €2.2 million

Although its HQ is officially in LA, we think the Fisker Karma deserves inclusion here. The firm’s founder and chief designer Henrik Fisker is Danish previous credits include most of the current Aston Martin range, so he has form. His radical, gorgeous £80,000, 400bhp plug-​​in hybrid Karma will be built by Valmet in Finland; it can cover 50 miles on emissions-​​free electric power and give an average of 100mpg.

Protótipo da nova S10 é revelado pela Chevrolet

A Chevrolet, enfim, revelou as primeiras imagens do protótipo da picape Colorado, antes mesmo do Salão de Bankok (Tailândia), que tem abertura marcada para a próxima quarta-feira (23). O modelo dá indicações do desenho da nova S10, que dever ser lançada no mercado nacional e que já foi vista e fotografada por vários internautas. Apesar do desenho futurista, suas linhas estão bem próximas da versão final. Nas fotos, a versão estendida, mas também serão oferecidas verões com cabine simples ou dupla. A nova S10 já está mesmo com seus dias contados, pois não sofreu nenhuma mudança importante desde seu lançamento no Brasil, há 16 anos atrás. Na dianteira é notado a linha dos novos modelos globais da GM, com a barra transversal com na grade dianteira e a gravata dourada ao centro. Visto de traseira, a semelhança com as picapes japonesas é observada, como as lanternas e a caçamba. Por dentro, o modelo recebeu um painel mais moderno, como volante multifuncional, que agregam os principais controles do sistema de som, do computador de bordo e do controlador da velocidade de cruzeiro ("piloto automático"). A nova Colorado também terá itens de conforto como ar-condicionado digital e mais itens de segurança. Especula-se que o motor usado pelo conceito é um 2.8 turbodiesel.

Looks: Scaglietti design is challenging at first but that upside down swoosh that started with the Nissan GT-R and is now part of the design language, check it out on the latest BMW M6 too.
