Audi TT






The Audi TT is a two-door sports car manufactured by Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. in Győr, Hungary, since 1998, for the German automaker and Volkswagen Group subsidiary AUDI AG.


The Audi TT is now in its second generation — and both generations have been available in two car body styles; as a 2+2 Coupé, or two-seater Roadster. They have been built on consecutive generations of the Volkswagen Group A platform, starting with the A4 (PQ34). As a result of this platform-sharing, the Audi TT has identical powertrain and suspension layouts as its related platform-mates; this includes a front-mounted transversely oriented engine, front-wheel drive or quattro permanent four-wheel drive system, and fully independent front suspension using MacPherson struts.

Toyota FT-HS




                        The Toyota FT-HS is a hybrid sports car concept introduced at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. Calty Design Research designed the concept and suggests that it could fill the place of the Toyota Supra. FT-HS stands for Future Toyota Hybrid Sport.
The goal of the rear wheel drive hybrid powertrain is to produce 400 hp (300 kW) and achieve 0-60 mph in around 4 seconds. This is accomplished by combining a 3.5 L V6 and an electric motor in a manner similar to the Lexus GS450h. Unlike the GS (and virtually all other current hybrids), a production version of the FT-HS would make use of a capacitor system designed specifically for quick charging and increased performance.Since the debut of this concept, Toyota has exhibited such technology in the Supra HV-R race car.

Koenigsegg CCXR



Price:- $545,568

                              The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined roadster from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg. The CCX has been engineered to comply with the U.S. regulation and market demandss and is a newer design that replaced the Koenigsegg CCR.
CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupé X; the X commemorating the 10th anniversary, (being the Roman numeral for ten), of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996.
The CCX was first unveiled on February 28, 2006 at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show although its existence was announced earlier. A derivative known as the CCXR is available, the main difference being that CCXR's engine is tuned to run on biofuel. The different fuel and tune allows the CCXR to produce 25% more power than the CCX.

Vinyls


  • 1   Cover all the parts you do not want to paint, using masking tape. This includes door-handle latches, stereo knobs, wood trim pieces, A/C controls and power window switches. Apply tape over the entire surface of the part both on the front side and back side of the part if applicable.

  • 2  Cover the windshield and windows with paper, taping it to the window or windshield molding with masking tape. Be careful to cover the entire windshield and to allow no cracks or tears in your paper. Apply tape to the back of the paper and stick it right on the windows if necessary. The tape will come off with a simple razor scraper.

  • 3  Wash down the vinyl with soap, water and a towel. Rinse the vinyl with a clean, wet rag to remove soap residue. Wipe the vinyl dry with another fresh microfiber towel.

  • 4  Hold the spray can of vinyl spray paint about 6 or 8 inches from the vinyl. Apply a single coat of spray paint to the surface of the vinyl with an even, fluid motion. Allow the surface to dry for four hours (or as specified on the paint label).

  • 5  Apply another coat of paint over the first coat, using the same spray paint, and allow it to dry. Apply up to three coats of vinyl paint.

  • Rolls-Royce

                    The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé is a British handmade convertible manufactured by Rolls-Royce that debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, on 7 January 2007.The platform is based on the 2003 Rolls-Royce Phantom and has styling heavily derived from the 100EX, a concept car unveiled to celebrate the company's centennial in 2004.

    BMW




    The BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid is the concept vehicle of BMWs first full-hybrid vehicle and was revealed at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung Frankfurt in September 2007. BMWs first mild-hybrid BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid was revealed at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008. Both cars will make their market debuts at the end of 2009  and can drive in electrical mode at low speeds.
    The BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid uses the V8 Twin Turbo with High Precision Injection that powers the BMW X6 xDrive50i.
    A defining feature of the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid is its Two-Mode active transmission, an innovative technology that controls the interplay of the electrical motors and the internal combustion engine. The car can operate in two modes: mode 1 delivers high torque when pulling away from a standing start and at low speeds, while mode 2 is suited for higher speeds. The result is that the car always uses the available power resources in the most efficient possible way, whatever speed it is travelling at.
