New Umbrella Girls: March 2010

Land Cruiser

Did they put the Land Cruiser through an oven? Its face hasn’t melted fully.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the finest SUVs around, recognized for its space, reliability and appearance. It won itself a Security award a few months back in Britain substantiating its abilities in guarding off thieves.
One Land Cruiser owner wasn’t satisfied though. He wanted to take it one step higher by making the car look scary not only to thieves, but also to human beings in general. A photograph voices a thousand words.

Weird-Dodge Tomahawk

All of us understand what the Chinese are capable of, don’t we. They get into all varieties of problems with auto manufacturers across the planet, and even after a few of their creations were forbidden from entering countries in Europe, they still won’t and can’t give up- Proof- An ATV derived from the Dodge Tomahawk by one proud Chinese firm.

The Tomahawk motorcycle was a concept bike built by Dodge which loaned its engine from the Dodge Viper Sportscar. The 8.3L V10 motor churned out 500HP, which took the bike to 60mph in about a second, but the Chinese double isn’t anywhere close. The 150cc that hides under all that lead-soaked paint and plastic produces a modest 10HP.

Ferrari F500

U.S Auto magazine Car and Driver has published a rendering of the 2010 Ferrari F500. The Ferrari F500 will be an updated F430 with a larger and more powerful engine. A V8 5000cc engine brings out 550hp gets filtered through a 7-Speed dual clutch gearbox for continuous power supply.
The 2010 Ferrari F500 will fight for the crown of the best supercar against the likes of the Mclaren P11, Lamborghini LP560-4 and the Porsche 911 GT2.
Scuderia and convertible variants will don a higher price tag when they are introduced subsequently, but the base Ferrari F500 that will be shown of at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show will start at $200,000.

Ferrari 599 GTO

Ferrari 599XX shown for comparison

Is the legendary “GTO” badge set to make a comeback at Ferrari? While rumors of a new GTO have been circulating for awhile, EVO seems to think it’s a done deal. The magazine is reporting that Ferrari has shifted the 599 GTB Fiorano from its internal “GT” classification to the “Sports Car” division, signaling a change that will allow the “development of a more extreme version of the 599, much in the same way that the Scuderia was developed from the standard F430.”
The 599 GTO would essentially be a street version of the 599XX track special, with a whopping 700 horsepower coming from its Enzo-based 6-liter V12. Using the company’s 599 HGTE as a benchmark, the 599 GTO would offer even better handling and performance that could conceivably make this Ferrari’s fastest road car ever. Evo is predicting a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed that would eclipse the Enzo’s 217 mile-per-hour V-max.
If the speculation is true, this would be the first Ferrari to wear the “GTO” name since the F40-preceding 288 GTO went on sale in 1984. The “O” in “GTO” stands for “Omologato,” a designation used for street cars that are being sold to homologate the model for racing. It was most famously used on the 1962-1964 Ferrari 250 GTO, which did battle with the Shelby Cobra in FIA GT racing back in the day. It was revived on the 288 GTO when Ferrari decided to build a model for the ill-fated Group B racing class. With only the Porsche 959 as a challenger the class was disbanded and the 288 GTO never raced.
Labeling this new supercar a 599 GTO would seem to imply that Ferrari was planning to race the vehicle, but exactly where it would compete is a mystery. Still, Evo is reporting that 50 of the vehicles will be built and sold in the UK, priced at £300,000 apiece. That’s the equivalent of $480,000 at the current exchange rate. Deliveries could start as soon as May of this year.

Phoenix concept

Practicality is the last thing anyone considers when designing concept cars. A car made of glass? Windows like gun slits? …But practicality isn’t the point. Concept cars are flights of fantasy carrying auto design into the future. Since our future will be a place where a gallon of gas costs more than a gallon of Scotch, the students at Royal College of Art designed their cars that run on things like electricity and algal fuel.”

“The beauty of a vehicle comes from the contrast of a fluid shape with precise technical elements”, added the designer.
