All New Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 Race Car Montage
After Seeing this beautiful creation I just had to share with you all. AMG has been producing racing versions of Mercedes-Benz cars and high performance street machines for over four decades. That tradition continues with the unveiling today of a GT3 spec version of the new 2010 Mercedes Benz SLS gullwing coupe. Sales will start this fall and AMG hopes to have the homologation process completed in time for the 2011 race season.
The GT3 SLS will use the same 6.3-liter V8 as the road car, but the FIA will determine its final output for racing. The aerodynamic enhancements are the main focus of interest here, with changes to the bodywork evident all over. The front end features a deep carbon fiber splitter that's only bested by the large rear wing out back. The hood sports a large cooling event and there are air intakes for brake cooling in the side skirts and cooling vents in the fenders behind the front wheels as well. Other race-spec features include a smooth underbody, rear diffuser, central-locking wheels and fuel filler pipes in the C-pillar.
Given the racing heritage of the original SL from the 1950s, seeing a gullwing back racing on the track will be the best kind of déjà vu for fans of the three-pointed star. Follow the jump for the official press release from AMG and Mercedes-Benz that includes a few more specifications.

2012 McLaren MP4-12C -- 360 View and Start-Up
Be Sure to check out this awesome video of the all-new Mclaren Mp4-12C with the start-up of the engine. Such a stunning car, the MP4-12C is motivated by a twin-turbocharged, 592-hp, 3.8-liter V-8, which was developed by McLaren in partnership with Ricardo. Now that we’ve all seen the car in person, we agree that it looks better than in photos, especially with this car’s matte-black wheels. A few people would say it’s a little bland in the styling department, however, although the fact that the body panels exist solely for aerodynamic purposes is a good excuse.
Weight remains an obsession for McLaren, and it offered this pearl of an anecdote to show just how far it went: The supplier building the magnesium cross brace had planned to emboss the part—in raised lettering—with the McLaren name; McLaren rejected the idea because it would add weight, instead suggesting that the lettering be recessed into the brace. The resultant weight savings: approximately a hundredth of an ounce. But wait (or is it weight?), there’s more (or less): The wiring for the car uses hexagonal sheathing in order to keep things tidy—they fit together better than round ones—and inside you’ll find wires made from aluminum, rather than the traditional copper, saving roughly nine pounds. This infatuation with avoiding fatness has resulted in a claimed dry weight of 2866 pounds; we expect a curb weight of roughly 3200 pounds, or about 200 lighter than a Ferrari 458 Italia. Expect this vehicle to be sold in the United States Late September, early October. Thanks for looking!

2011 BMW 6 Series Concept Revealed!
As we approach the world premiere of the new BMW 6 Series Coupe, new photos of the concept continue to surface.
The car will be officially unveiled on September 30th at the Paris Auto Show and the first production model will arrive at Geneva in 2011.
The redesigned 6er Coupe will continue to fight for the crown in the high-end segment of premium, luxurious, sporty Coupe vehicles.
The 2+2 coupe inherits some design cues from the regrettable CS Concept and it aligns itself with the design language seen on the new 5 and 7 Series. The 6 Series retains the two door design with the forthcoming Gran Coupe carrying the 4-door coupe design.
As with the new 5 and 7 Series, the aesthetics of the interior design have moved up the luxury scale, with fluid lines and higher quality materials. BMW remains true to its core design elements and the BMW Concept 6 Series Coupe continues to feature the driver-oriented cockpit, which underlines the sporty character of the 6 Series.
The interior is dominated by the large 10.2 inch display that reveals the latest infotainment system from BMW. Framed by a chrome plated frame, the flat-screen takes a more upright position, in contrast to the built-in approach we have seen in previous models.

Lamborghini Delivers a new Sports Car!
The 2010 Paris auto show is just weeks away, and that means Lamborghini's upcoming Paris concept. Today we have a new teaser image of the car, but more importantly, we have Lamborghini's sports car "manifesto." The game is about to change for Lamborghini, and this is how it will happen.
Weight. It's the enemy of all sports car enthusiasts, and the necessary accompaniment to almost every new regulation, whether it originates with safety or fuel economy in mind. Lamborghini can't change the global political climate, so it's changing the way it builds its cars. The solution? More carbon fiber. Lots more.
According to Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Lamborghini, the average weight of the company's cars has increased by 1,100 pounds since the mid-1980s, due almost entirely to additive regulations. Obviously safety can't be sacrificed, nor can performance, so the only answer is less weight.
Along the way, they'll also drop the focus on top speed, since the stratospheric levels of most supercars are so high you "cannot reach [them] even on a racetrack, let alone normal roads," says Winkelmann. That's undoubtedly true, so the new focus along with lighter weight, will be improved handling and acceleration. All of this requires less focus on total power output as well--itself an answer to rising pressure on emissions and fuel consumption.
To deliver the volumes of carbon fiber Lamborghini will need to significantly lower the weight of its cars, the company will leverage its two laboratories (one in Sant'Agata, the other in Seattle) to meet its demand.
The new manifesto of lightness won't just apply to the Jota, however. "Every new Lamborghini will make the best use of carbon fiber to reduce weight," according to Winkelmann. The focus on carbon fiber will also preserve and possibly enhance Lamborghini's other primary asset: the design of its cars, which together with handling and acceleration will be part of its new triumvirate of ruling principles.
