Lexus IS
The premium coupe cabriolet market is a very attractive one for car manufacturers and the BMW 3 Series Cabrio and the Audi A5 Cabrio are two of the most beautiful cars around, no doubt about that. And now it seems that Toyota also wants a piece of the action because, according to Carscoop, besides the IS facelift, the Paris Motor Show will mark the debut of the Lexus IS Coupe-Cabriolet. That great news and we?re really waiting to see the car live at the French show. What?s really interesting is that, according to Carscoop?s sources, the model that will be on display in Paris will be marked as a concept, but except for some minor changes, it will basically be the production-ready version, that will go on sale next summer.Read More:

Ascari Race Resort: Another Reason To Hate The
Rich

post from Ride Lust - Motion + Mobility on 07 September 2008 09:53:18 PM. © Ride Lust - Motion + Mobility

Ascari at AscariRacing and high-performance cars are an expensive hobby. Even at Terilingua, which bills itself as an anti-establishment racing event, the fact is that unless you have money, you can’t participate. Even so, beyond a few days at mostly oval tracks for amateurs to take a couple of laps, or in speed permitted [...]

Mazda Taiki Concept Car

post from A U T O M O T I V E - G A L L E R Y on 07 September 2008 09:15:00 PM. © A U T O M O T I V E - G A L L E R Y

Mazda
Mazda Taiki, the latest concept car form the Japanese producer, follows the path of Mazda?s ?flow? design concept (latest example is what?s probably going to be the next Mazda RX-7) with elements of real-world technologies. The Taiki is equipped with a next-generation RENESIS rotary engine under the hood, and the rear-wheel-drive concept is a two-seater.

The Japanese word ?Taiki? roughly translates to atmosphere. Mazda used this name to equate the car?s stretched cabin, short overhangs, and glass canopy with the ?protective mantle? around Earth.
Mazda+Taiki+Concept Car

One of the key differences from previous concept cars is the Taiki?s rear wheels, which seem to stick out a bit, and are covered by a sort-of simulated wheel well. The effect of this is the illusion that the rear wheels are not protected as part of the chassis, but if you look at a picture of the car from behind the wheels look more integrated.

Now With 548 Horsepower: The RENNtech Tuned
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

post from eMercedesBenz | The Unofficial Mercedes-Benz Weblog on 07 September 2008 04:40:00 PM. © eMercedesBenz | The Unofficial Mercedes-Benz Weblog

Although on the surface it may look like nothing more than an ordinary, run-of-the-mill 451 horsepower Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (assuming, of course, that it's possible to consider a Mercedes C63 AMG either ordinary or run-of-the-mill), pictured before you is the latest combatant set to do battle in the ever growing ring of tuned AMG C-Class models: the RENNtech C63 AMG. Boasting a pavement scorching total output of 548 peak horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque, RENNtech's C63 offers massive amounts of thrust across the low-to-mid rpm range, while top speed comes in at a mighty 187 mph.
