Poland based auto maker Arrinera is rolling out a brand new supercar for 2013, and this car is definitely worth every penny of the $160,000 price tag that will plastered to the windshield.
With lines that are reminiscent of our favorite Lamborghini models, the 2013 Arrinera Supercar features plenty of sharp, aggressive angles molded from a combination of ultra lightweight, yet incredibly durable carbon fiber and Kevlar. Arrinera decided against the typical V12 offering that most supercar manufacturers place in their flagship models, and instead opted for a V8 motor pumping out an impressive 650 horsepower. The stellar power to weight ration on this supercar allows this vehicle to reach 62 mph in under 4 seconds, and can even do in total darkness thanks to the thermal camera night vision.Price: $160,000 USD

Citroën has certainly not been one of the car brands to watch in recent years. The French brand has some interesting classics, but when it comes to the model line-up in recent years, we do not remember the last time we turned our heads because of a Citroën. Well, that could change. This week they present the Numero 9 Concept. The sedan and SUV cross-over came out beautiful – it is sporty and slick and of course features the latest in technology that there is.Source: Citroën
This week the BMW i division, concentrating on future concepts, presents its third concept – the BMW i8 Spyder. Following up on the Coupe, they now present the Spyder version of the hybrid. It also comes “with a 96 kW (131 horsepower) electric motor up front powering the front axle and a mid-mounted turbocharged three-cylinder gas engine (presumably with a displacement of 1.5 liters like the coupe) producing 223 hp that powers the rear.” Overall the car puts out over 340 horsepower.
“The beauty of the i8 Spyder’s drivetrain is the car can be front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive depending on whether efficiency, performance or all-weather traction is called for. Like the coupe, the i8 Spyder also features a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, and BMW claims to have completely cancelled out the extra weight of the hybrid drivetrain through extensive use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber and aluminum. Performance is also impressive, with 0-62 mph happening in five seconds and a top speed governed at 155 mph.”Source: BMWi
Lamborghini’s Aventador J is designed, above all else, for going fast. There’s no climate control or navigation system, and in place of a roof and windshield are small wind deflectors. The idea is essentially a two-seater sport-bike: they’ve used carbon fiber across the bumpers, air scoop and more. Under the hood is the same 700-hp 6.5-liter 12-cylinder found in the standard Lamborghini Aventador, meaning you’re flying. Yes, this is a real car you can buy.
With innovation and futuristic design high on their minds, Dartz Motors have created the Jo-mojo electric roadster, which will be in the league to the previously introduced SUV models, which include the Prombron and Mojo Roadster. Designed by Eduard Gray from Gray Designs, this futuristic SUV sports an electric fuel based engine, meaning zero carbon emissions, which might what the rich would like to use on beachside venues.
Focusing on the eco-friendly aspect of operations, the Jo-Mojo SUV sports a bullet proof body, and also a sunroof which will meet the energy requirements of the car. With a help of a plugging station with an electrical power source, this vehicle’s electric motor would need to be charged for a fixed duration of time before it can start running. This is also complemented by the power generated from the electric retractable sunroof with a built-in solar panel, to aid the energy requirements when the 80HP Motor runs thin on charge. However, it doesn’t mean performance would receive any sort of set-backs. It would take a miserly 9.5 seconds to reach from 0-100 km/ph of speed, while the maximum possible would be 200 km/ph.
Concentrating on eco-friendly energy has meant that the majority of prowess is shown in refreshing additions to the SUV. The interior is known to be rather spacious as compared to others in the league. This gives additional comfort to the passengers inside, who are kept safe from bullets with armored windows, something traditionally associated with creations of the Dartz brand. Though the area of protection limited if you see, but it gives a sensible degree of protection to those that may need it.
While the Jo-mojo SUV remains as a concept till now, it will be first displayed at Monaco’s ‘Top Marques’ Show in the coming year. There will be some attractive color options to choose from as well, which include green, tangerine, purple, silver, and most popularly, black. This would mean a dual colored shading scheme of the vehicle in terms of its exteriors and interiors, something displayed above.
