Ferrari 458 Italia Real Life Photos and Video

The videographer who world as a car washer/detailer at a Porsche dealership is often exposed to exotic cars and found this particular 458 at Kroymans Ferrari/Aston Martin/Maserati in Hilversum.

Although no official announcements have been made yet, alleged pricing documents have leaked and European market launch is expected in spring 2010.

It is unknown why this 458 is at a dealership prior to market launch.

2010 New Bentley Mulsanne Luxurious Sports Car The 8-litre’s Debut at Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance, California

2010 New Bentley Mulsanne Luxurious Sports Car

2010 Bentley Motors unveiled the Mulsanne, the company’s all-new flagship grand tourer, at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance in Monterey, California. The Mulsanne is inspired by the company founder W.O. Bentley’s crowning achievement in 1930, the 8-litre. And it was W.O.’s own sensitively conserved company car that shared the podium with the new Mulsanne in Pebble Beach. This early motoring masterpiece represented the last big Bentley that was designed, engineered and built from the ground up by Bentley engineers - until now.

Nearly 80 years later, while paying respect to this illustrious past, the new Mulsanne is a thoroughly modern statement of luxury driving and grand touring. Conceived, styled and engineered entirely at Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe, England, the Mulsanne, with its completely new and unique platform, goes into production next year in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility within the Crewe factory. The Bentley design team, lead by Dirk van Braeckel, have created a flagship that offers the classic sporting, styling cues long-associated with Bentley - expressed in a thoroughly contemporary way.

The return of the Mulsanne name to a car carrying Bentley’s iconic ‘Winged B’ emblem underlines the company’s racing pedigree and nowhere reflects that heritage better than the famed Le Mans circuit, the scene of no fewer than six Bentley triumphs. Few places offer a stronger or more emotive connection with the Bentley marque than the famed Mulsanne corner.
The Bentley 8-litre displayed alongside the Mulsanne in California was first shown at the 1930 London Motor Show.

It was the second-built and was W.O. Bentley’s company car for two years. Capable of reaching more than 100 mph, the 8-litre demonstrated W.O. Bentley’s ambition and ability to build a grand luxury car capable of surpassing every other leading manufacturer of the day. A total of 100 cars were built in 1930 and 1931.

“The 8-litre’s breathtaking performance and quality was perhaps the finest example of a ‘pure’ grand Bentley. Every mechanical detail carried W.O. Bentley’s unique stamp and it was the clearest demonstration of a car built without compromise,” commented Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, Member of the Board Engineering. “The Mulsanne has been designed with exactly the same guiding principles, so it is entirely fitting that these Bentleys from different eras share the same stage.”

The Bentley Mulsanne will go on sale from mid 2010. It will also be displayed at the forthcoming IAA Frankfurt Motor Show (15-27th September, 2009) where Bentley Motors will provide additional product information.

2011 BMW 5-Series by Racing Dynamics

Russia's Top Car isn't the only tuner tampering around with the recently revealed, but not yet available, 2011 BMW 5-Series sedan. So is Racing Dynamics, otherwise known as RDSport in the USA. The Italian tuner that specializes on BMW products, has released a teaser photo (chop) and preliminary specs on the 535i R35 and the 550i R50S that will both receive a bevy of performance and styling mods.

While Racing Dynamics has not yet released specific details on the engine upgrades, the tuner said that the 535i R35's 3.0-liter inline-six with the twin-scroll turbocharger will receive an extra boost to produce 410HP and 383lb-ft torque for an estimated 0-60mph (96km/h) sprint time of 5.3 seconds, or 0.7 seconds faster than the standard 306HP 535i.

The range-topping 550i with the R50S package will deliver an output of 620-horsepower versus the factory model's 407HP 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8.

In addition to the engine mods, the Bavarian sedans will also benefit from a custom made exhaust system, a high performance braking system, a new rear-locking differential and a retuned and lowered suspension with new gas struts for the front axle and gas-pressurized shock absorbers for the rear.

The package will be rounded off with new 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels, an aero kit and various options for the interior including special trim inlays.

Aston Martin Cygnet reserved only for Aston owners

Aston Martin owners will be able to purchase the company's upcoming pint-sized model, according to Works Service, the brand's magazine. A blog written for the New York Times quotes Aston Martin chief Ulrich Bez as saying, "This concept is akin to an exclusive tender for a luxury yacht."

The Aston Martin Cygnet, a luxuriously-designed version of the Toyota iQ, will not get a spruced up engine. Each Cygnet uses the iQ's 97-horsepower, 1.33-liter engine that produces up to 91 ft-lb of torque. Top speed is listed at 105 mph.



Photos of the car's interior shows an audacious amount of red and quilted black leather, along with premium gloss trim, infotainment screen, and an iPhone dock. Exterior photos show exclusive paint work, with chrome and carbon fiber details. Needless hood venting is remnant of the Vantage, while rear LED lighting is sourced from the Rapide. Multi-spoke alloy wheels remind one of the DBS thanks to the graphite finish.

Astonishingly, the modified iQ will cost between £20,000 and £30,000. The company will produce 2,000 Aston Martin Cygnet units.

Bugatti Renaissance Student Design Reinterprets Veyron

A Canadian designer sent Carscoop these renderings of a proposed replacement for the Bugatti Veyron. Called the Bugatti Renaissance, the car is the creation of newcomer John Mark Vicente.

"These projects are personal reflections of my understanding of design as an art, science, and philosophy," Vicente says on his website.

Vicente, of Richmond, British Columbia, drew the vehicle as part of his prior coursework. He is a Communication Design graduate from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver.
