New Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo

Bugatti has revealed full details of its concept car for the Vision Gran Turismo project ahead of the Frankfurt motor show.

Driven by a W16 engine that delivers its power to all four wheels - is described as previewing the next phase of the company's design language, elements of which will be seen on the Bugatti Veyron's successor, currently dubbed Chiron, in 2017.

Bugatti says the concept presents "the new form and design language developed by the brand to celebrate the next chapter in its history following the end of the Veyron era."

Production of the regular Veyron recently came to an end with the La Finale special edition, unveiled at the Geneva motor show last March.

Bugatti design boss Achim Anscheidt said: "Bugatti’s design DNA has reached a new stage in its evolution. In view of the nature of the project, our concept car for Vision Gran Turismo will be exaggerated and extremely performance-oriented.

"Even so, the progressive design language will give an impressive demonstration of the path to be taken by Bugatti design over the next few years.”"

Bugatti’s designers drew inspiration from the brand's racing tradition, particularly from the 1920s and 1930s when it enjoyed great success in competition. The company highlights the Type 57 Tank, which won the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1937 and 1939, as the Vision Gran Turismo’s spiritual successor.

The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo was developed in close collaboration with Bugatti engineers to ensure every vehicle component could conceivably have a real performance function, although it has been stripped down for racing. Racing experts from the Volkswagen Group were involved to ensure that every detail of the virtual race car is authentic.

Mansory Torofeo Lamborghini Huracan

The tuned Huracan features radical changes to the body, engine and interior.

From a styling point of view, the car features a newly designed carbon fiber body kit consisting of a new front apron, striking side skirts, new mirror housings, enhanced wheel arches, a big rear wing and a massive diffuser.

Due to the new body kit, the car is 30mm wider at the front and 40mm wider at the rear. Other exterior upgrades include the daytime running lights in a crystal design. Interior modifications are limited to leather and Alcantara covered seats, a new sports steering wheel, aluminum foot pedals and a host of carbon fiber accents.

The most important upgrade is the engine, as the standard 5.2-liter V10 unit has received new pistons, connecting rods, bearings, camshafts, a water-cooled intercooler, an entire fuel system, as well as two bearing-mounted turbochargers.

The Torofeo also has a completely newly aligned exhaust system from the engine to the stainless steel tailpipes in the rear apron. All these changes result in a peak power of up to 1,000 hp, compared to 610 hp in thestandard car, while maximum torque is electronically limited to 1,000Nm (737lb-ft).

Thanks to these improved values, the four-wheel drive Torofeo needs just 2.7 seconds (0.5 seconds less than the standard Huracan) to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) and is able to reach a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).

Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo coupe

BRABUS 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe based on the Mercedes S 63
625 kW / 850 hp, 1,450 Nm of torque and 350-km/h top speed
The world's fastest and most powerful all-wheel-drive coupe

625 kW / 850 horsepower, a peak torque of 1,450 Nm, 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph): with the new BRABUS 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe based on the Mercedes S 63 4MATIC, BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) celebrates the world debut of the fastest and most powerful all-wheel-drive coupe on the globe at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The two-door car is not only captivating on account of its unrivalled performance, but above all thanks to its sporty and elegant design with clear-coated carbon-fiber aerodynamic-enhancement components, 21-inch high-tech forged wheels and an exclusive BRABUS fine leather interior.

The eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine of the S 63 is thoroughly revised in the BRABUS engine shop using a state-of-the-art machine park. The installation of a special BRABUS crankshaft with longer stroke plus an enlarged cylinder bore and correspondingly larger forged pistons results in a displacement increase from 5,461 cc to 5,912 cc. The flow-optimizing fine-machining of both cylinder heads also contributes to the performance enhancement.

The two special BRABUS turbochargers with larger compressor units and modified exhaust manifolds that replace the production turbos also play a major part in the enormous increase in power. As part of the engine conversion, special metal catalysts with 75-mm thick down pipes and the BRABUS stainless-steel sports exhaust system with actively controlled butterfly valve are installed in addition.

Other modifications to the production engine are instantly apparent when the hood is opened: one of the key components of the engine conversion is the specially designed BRABUS 850 intake module. It includes a larger air filter housing with enlarged intake cross-section, which is supplied with air via a special duct in the hood, and new carbon-fiber air ducts with significantly enlarged cross-sections. A particularly conspicuous feature is the BRABUS Gold Heat Reflection sheathing of the intake and charge air pipes.

Precisely programmed mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the perfect interaction of the high-performance components. This not only ensures maximum power output, but also compliance with the strict limits set by the current EURO VI emissions standards. Technology partner MOTUL supplies the high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain.

As the result of the extensive modifications the BRABUS 850 6.0 Biturbo engine delivers unrivalled performance figures: the peak power output of 625 kW / 850 horsepower (838 bhp) is produced at a low 5,400 rpm. Even more immense is the peak torque of 1,450 Nm (1,069 lb-ft), which is on tap between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm. However, in the car this figure is electronically limited to 1,150 Nm (848 lb-ft) in the interest of the longevity of the entire powertrain.

The power is channeled to all four wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission, which can also be shifted manually with the BRABUS RACE aluminum paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. A variant with rear-wheel drive is also available.
