Mercedes AMG One on the track

We are all eagerly awaiting the official, public unveil of the new Mercedes-AMG One hypercar, but at the moment we’ll have to be content with watching one of their latest prototypes hurdling down the famous Nürburgrin Nordschleife in Germany, taking corners while remaining virtually flat, this will be an amazing car once available, I for one can’t wait to encounter one on the road.

Some rumors mention a power output close to 1,200 hp from an F1 derived 1.6-Liter V6 engine, with Hybrid added naturally, I wonder if they are going to create a Roadster version of this one, as they did with the extremely rare CLK GTR, after they made the initial 20 units, the intention was to create 5 CLK GTR Roadsters, but six of the latter were built, one in Black, one in dark silver and the remaining four in the classic silver paint …

The latest information we have is that customers should be taking delivery of their Mercedes-AMG One in 2021, but there are only a few months left this year, and they are still testing prototypes on a closed track … if Mercedes-AMG still wants to have their One in a customer’s garage before the end of the year, they might want to speed things up … no pun intented.

2016 Dodge Viper ACR Extreme

Remember our article on the amazing looking 2017 Viper GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR we posted a while ago, one of only 100 GTS-R Final Edition ACR units that came with a mere 840 miles on the counter being listed for auction? The bidding on that rare car went up to $230,000, but you might get a second chance of owning one of these amazing Dodge Viper ACR models … well kind of.

Currently listed at the same BringATrailer auction site, we found a 2016 Dodge Viper ACR that comes with the Extreme Aero Package, granted, it’s not a 2017 Final Edition, but it’s close, and the best part, the bidding sits at $100,000 with just 3 more days to go, so you might be able to scoop this one up for considerably less than $230,000 … it does come with 10,000 miles on the counter however.

Chassis 1C3BDECZ4GV100303 is finished in the classic Viper White, but it boast some impressive striping, a massive black stripe is accompanied by a thinner red stripe running from the front to the back, all the way up to that massive, towering rear wing, while we get a very low splitter at the front, complete with stabilizing struts and those ‘air-cutting’ canards on the side of the front bumper.

Power comes from the famous 8.4-Liter V10 engine going to the wide rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox with limited slip differential, this specific Viper does come with a few upgrades, like a a Belanger Headers exhaust system and a TeamTech six-point harness fitted to the driver seat.

The stunning, gloss black cross-spoke wheels come in 11×19 inch size at the front, and even wider 13×19 inch at the rear, fitted with Kumho Ecsta V720 ACR tires, 295/25 and 355/30 respectively, covering 15.4 inch carbon-ceramic disk brakes with six-piston calipers for the front, and 14.2 inch disks with four-piston calipers  for the rear, naturally an adjustable suspension is standard on the Dodge Viper ACR.

Mercedes-AMG One caught looking road-ready in new spy photos

The Mercedes-AMG One hypercar was caught on public roads looking about as production-ready as a prototype can get. The new electrified flagship is expected to produce at least 1,100 horsepower thanks to a hybrid powertrain based on a turbocharged, 1.6-liter V6 engine capable of turning 11,000 RPM. 

Shown here in its tamer, low-speed mode (wing retracted, front aero elements closed), this prototype has most of the bits necessary to make it road legal, such as what appear to be its final lighting elements and body work. Underneath, the One packs a hybrid powertrain similar (but not identical) to that found under the cowling of a Formula One car. It has been scaled back from race spec for cost, emissions and durability reasons, but it’s nonetheless a jaw-dropping piece of engineering.

This is a car that boasts a lot of big numbers, but there’s one that isn’t so impressive: 275. That’s the number of Ones that Mercedes-AMG will build. They’ve reportedly all been spoken for at this point, too, so if you’re not already in line (hey, we’re just guessing here), you’ll have to appreciate this one from afar. We expect Mercedes-Benz to announce an official delivery schedule sometime soon.

Williams and ItalDesign announce EV supercar chassis

The high-dollar EV supercar business is absolutely booming right now, and brands both old and new are inundating the market with new models. It’s a good time to be an aspiring supercar mogul, especially with renowned race car constructor Williams and famed carrozzeria ItalDesign announcing their new collaboration — the EVX, a modular electric vehicle platform.

To be clear, the EVX isn’t a car. It’s just a platform. It’s a large battery pack and chassis, developed with Williams’ long expertise in making Formula One, Group B, and BTCC race cars. On top of the platform you can plop any number of bodies, from a sporty grand tourer to a sedan to a crossover to a convertible.

If you don’t have your own highly paid celebrity designer retired from the world of OEMs, ItalDesign can help with its looks. Then, they might even be able to build it for you depending on your volume.

The EVX uses a battery stack that Williams says was derived from motorsport, a reference to their Formula E machines. The stack is part of the carbon-composite chassis structure, serving as a structural component that benefits torsional rigidity ratings and absorption of crash loads, according to Williams.

The system uses an 800-volt architecture, similar to that of the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-Tron GT. It can support a variety of drivetrains, from two- to all-wheel-drive, and oriented toward either performance or range. Williams says it can support 1,000 kilowatts (1,340 horsepower) or kilometers, depending on the type of vehicle you want to make. Performance modules like Williams’ own torque vectoring can plug and play into the drivetrain. The 800-volt system has the ability take on 300 to 500 kW of boost charging, too.

Perhaps more importantly, the EVX supports a manufacturing system familiar to OEMs. It’s compatible with steel, aluminum or composite bodies, offering easy adaptation with existing assembly lines.

Williams and ItalDesign are targeting clients who want to build between 500 and 10,000 units. For numbers up to 500 units per year, ItalDesign can build them in-house, as it does with the Nissan-designed GT-R50. But, the firms are hoping that well-funded companies will use the chassis as a way to gain a foothold in the EV supercar world as well.

The EVX “is ideally suited to premium niche EV products,” said Paul McNamara, Technical Director at Williams Advanced Engineering, “It’s also applicable to OEMs and new market entrants.”

With Yamaha’s recent announcement that it’s developing EV supercar motors, pretty soon it’ll be possible to build your own limited-run electric hypercar. Just take the Williams chassis, a couple of Yamaha motors, an ItalDesign body and you’ll be good to go. As for the heritage and provenance behind the brand, well, you’re on your own. For now.

The Phantom Oribe

Once you get to a point in life where you can walk into a Rolls Royce dealership and buy one of their top of the line Phantom models, you should feel a sense of achievement I guess, and if you are even able to custom order one of these flagship models with the exact options you like, that feeling gets even better, you’ll have to wait for it to be built in the UK, but in the end, you’ll have YOUR Rolls Royce Phantom, and your bank account will see a check for several hundreds of thousands of dollars being cashed … but you’ll be the proud owner of a Rolls Royce, you’ve made it in life.

But just like the world of yachts, you’ll have different degrees, and most of the superyachts or megayachts will be fully custom build to the exact wishes of the client, so you’ll either be rich … or super-rich, depending on the size of the yacht, and the people that are able to have Rolls Royce build them a truly bespoke car, with the help from one of the most famous designers in the world, will probably own one or more megayachts too, now I don’t know for sure if Japanese entrepreneur, art collector and supercar enthusiast Yusaku Maezawa owns a megayacht, but he is the proud customer for this Phantom Oribe, created in collaboration between Rolls Royce and Hermès.

This one-off gets its own, bespoke two-tone MZ Oribe Green and cream exterior finish, which was inspired by shades found in Mr. Maezawa ‘s private collection of ancient Japanese ceramics, this luxury on wheels has been specifically commissioned to complement a private jet the customer recently added to his collection.

The Rolls Royce Phantom Oribe is a one-of-a-kind car for sure, combining two houses with more than three centuries’ combined experience and heritage between them, the Oribe combines ancient and modern into one car, it shows unique stitching and upholstery techniques for the luxurious interior, while hand painting techniques were required for the stunning exterior.

The bespoke Oribe Green shade for this specific car has been created specifically for this single unit, matching the characteristic green and cream glazes of antique Japanese Oribe ware, and Rolls Royce even allowed the customer to use their bespoke paint mixture to be applied to his private jet, even after it took several months for the specialists in the Surface Finish Centre at Goodwood to match the lustrous, deep-green glaze that characterizes these 16th-century ceramics.

The Oribe style continues in the interior where it took Hermès designers and craftspeople in Paris, and the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective of designers, engineers, and craftspeople at Goodwood in West Sussex many months to create the individual components to showcase the tradition of both houses, mainly finished in Hermès Enea Green leather with Hermès piping on the headrest cushions and calf supports of the rear seats, while soft Seashell White accents and matching lambswool floor mats create a sense of light and space in this amazing interior.

As this was a collaboration between Rolls Royce and Hermès, the glove compartment lid proudly shows an embossed with Habillé par Hermès Paris signature, while Wooden speaker frets, are formed by meticulously perforating the Open Pore Royal Walnut veneer applied to the doors, and to really stand out, Hermès ‘Toile H’ canvas is used on the door armrests, center, and rear consoles and, most notably, the signature headliner … a first for Rolls Royce.

Because this is a Hermès edition Phantom, the leather upholstery boasts stitching and edge-painting techniques originally employed by master saddlers, while the dashboard fascia on this specific Rolls Royce Phantom has been adorned by a special commission artwork based on a design by the celebrated French artist and illustrator Pierre Péron (1905–1988), inspired by the famous Hermès horse motif, is hand-painted on Open Pore Royal Walnut and is shown in true art gallery style … behind glass.

I guess it might be true what they say, you drive a Bentley, you are chauffeured in a Rolls Royce, so Mr. Yusaku Maezawa will probably be found in the rear seat of this truly amazing looking Phantom, in the utmost luxury and style, another unique masterpiece made in Goodwood, the UK.

Japanese Billionaire Commissions 1 of 1 Hermes Phantom to Match his Jet

Rolls Royce motors has collaborated with Hermes to create a Bespoke Phantom, the vehicle was designed and handcrafted by a team of Bespoke specialists at Rolls Royce in Goodwood and Hermes in Paris. It was commissioned by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa.

The exterior upper part of the Bespoke Phantom has been finished in Oribe Green specially customized for the client, the two-tone green and cream glazes match the characteristics of antique Japanese Oribe Ware. The paint will also be available for the client’s jet to match his car.

The interior of the Bespoke Rolls Royce is finished in Hermes’s Enea Green leather which extends to the steering wheel, gear selector, duchess handles and on the rotary controls for climate settings. The Hermes leather has also been fitted on the interior pillars, upper instrument panels and parcel shaft. The glove compartment lid is engraved with a signature Habille Par Hermes Paris.

In addition, the headrests cushions and calf supports on the rear seats are adorned in Hermes piping whereas the floor mats are designed in soft Seashell white accents with matching lambswool. The wooden speaker frets in the interior are formed by pricking the Open Pore Royal Walnut veneer applied to the doors to create a seamless and delicate haptics. The Open Pore Royal Walnut veneer has also been applied on the rear center console and picnic table backs.

The leather upholstery was made using stitching and edge-painting method which was employed by master saddles originally. The gallery of the new Phantom also features an artwork commissioned by Hermes based on a design by the French artist and illustrator Pierre Peron who created House’s iconic scarves from 1905-1988. The work was inspired by Hermes’s horse motif.

The Aston Martin V12 Speedster

The Aston Martin brand has been around for many years, and always been recognized as a high-end, luxury sports car brand, with amazing road cars, but also with at least as impressive race cars, with a Palmares of winning the most prestigious races known to date, like the Aston Martin DBR1 from the Fifties, that not only won the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1,000 km of Nürburgring in 1959, but also the latter both in 1957 and 1958.

The Aston Martin DBR1 debuted back in 1956 and become one of the most successful racecars on the scene, with some impressive drivers behind the wheel, for instance at the Spa Sportscar Race (1957, Tony Brooks); the Goodwood Tourist Trophy (1958, Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brookes; 1959, Sir Stirling Moss, Carrol Shelby, Jack Fairman); and the 1000 Km at the Nurburgring (1959, Sir Stirling Moss and Jack Fairman) in the same year as that famous Le Mans triumph which culminated in Aston Martin taking the World Sportscar Championship.

Back in the late Fifties, this 3-0 Liter straight-six engine was already capable of reaching speeds over 150 Mph, only five were ever made, four of them used by Aston Martin Works themselves, and one as a private entry … none of them were ever legal to drive on the open road, however, this changes today with the introduction of the Aston Martin V12 Speedster DBR1 specification.

For this new limited-edition Aston Martin, only 88 units will be available to customers worldwide, there is only one shade that would be appropriate … Aston Martin Racing Green, complemented with Clubsport White pinstripe and roundels, a Satin Silver anodized grille with Clubsport lipstick graphic, Conker saddle leather, and Viridian Green technical textile/Caithness leather … as a reminder of what made the classic DBR1 the undisputed icon almost seventy years ago.

It seems open-top cars without a windshield are ‘en vogue’ these days, and this new Aston Martin V12 Speedster DBR1 is no exception, there is no protection from the elements inside this purposeful looking car, this car is meant to go fast without compromise, still, Aston Martin gives you the option of wearing a bespoke, color-coded helmet for both the driver and the passenger, sitting under transparent windows.

On the interior, we’ll find a mixture of gloss carbon fiber, Caithness Green leather, and satin silver brushed aluminum switchgear in the V12 Speedster’s open cabin that further underlines the homage to the motoring legend from the Fifties, while the massive 21-inch Satin black diamond polished wheels bring us back to the present day.

Each of the 88 units of this Aston Martin V12 Speedster will be hand-built at the Gaydon headquarters in the UK, after spending over 50 hours to create the perfect paint finish, the lucky customers will receive their car by mid-2021, and they might want to consider wearing those helmets, as this car, with no windshield or roof of any kind, is capable of reaching a top speed of 198 mph, the 700 PS V12 Twin Turbo engine with a capacity of 5.2-Liter puts down an acceleration of 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds …

FOR SALE: A 1 of 9 2013 SLS AMG Electric Drive

One of the latest gems to hit the stage at RM Sotheby’s is a rare, one of nine, 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive. This beauty only has 3,814km on the odometer and is flawless in every way. It’s only seen two owners and has been well cared for since taking original delivery in Switzerland.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive Front Angle

The 2013 SLS AMG was originally set to have a limited production of under 100 examples. This was a slight overestimation as only nine examples rolled out of production. This disappointing news only meant the examples delivered upon purchase were guaranteed to skyrocket in value, and they sure did. 

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive Yellow

The SLS AMG Electric Drive model is fully electric and carries 864 batteries that provide power to its electric motor, putting out a whopping 740bhp and 736ft-lbs of torque. Underneath its hi-viz cloak, the SLS shows off four high-tech motors to each wheel and a Formula1-style pushrod suspension. This bright-colored beast pulls a zero-60 time of 3.9-seconds and a top speed of 250km/h. 

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive Charging

The sale of this SLS AMG ED will include service records, accompanied by the latest, carried out in May of 2018 at 2,297km at a Mercedes-Benz authorized service center. The car resides in the Netherlands but is more than willing to take a journey to its new owner.

Aston Martin V12 Speedster DBR1 specification pays homage to a beautiful race car

Aston Martin debuted the limited-run V12 Speedster over a year ago, and today it’s introducing a special edition version of the roofless and windshield-less supercar. It’s called the DBR1 specification, as it takes after the DBR1 race car from the 1950s. 

You’ll immediately see the resemblance between the two in the gorgeous photos above. The V12 Speedster is finished in the same Aston Martin Racing Green paint, and features the same Clubsport White pinstripe and roundels. A Satin Silver anodized finish is applied to the grille to match, and a Clubsport lipstick graphic caps off the front. You also get 21-inch center-lock wheels finished in a Satin Black paint — Aston says each Speedster in this spec spends over 50 hours in the painting process alone.

You’ll get Conker saddle leather on the inside that is complemented by Viridian Green textile and Caithness leather. The interior also features glossy carbon fiber trim and satin silver brushed aluminum switchgear. Aston says this combo is its modern interpretation of the DBR1’s interior. And do remember that there is no roof — we have a feeling that you don’t want this interior getting wet.

In case you were curious as to why Aston Martin is using the DBR1 as inspiration here, you should know that the car has a rather commendable history in racing. It won the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, is a three-time winner of the 1,000-km of Nürburgring and also took the World Sportscar Championship the year it won Le Mans. On top of that, it’s just flat-out gorgeous.

“Creating a bespoke specification that nods to the glory of the DBR1 has been a huge privilege for my team and I, and I very much look forward to seeing these cars being driven with the same enthusiasm that we have applied to their design,” says Marek Reichman, Aston’s chief creative officer.

This DBR1 specification features the same vitals as the standard V12 Speedster. That means it has a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 under its hood that makes 700 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque. It’ll do 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds on its way to a 198 mph top speed. Have fun doing that without a windshield.

Aston says you can order a V12 Speedster in this spec now and expect delivery in mid-2021. No price for the DBR1 was given, but the car starts at about $950,000. We suspect this one is a good bit more, likely arcing past the $1 million mark.

Rimac’s next electric hypercar is going to be blindingly quick

From a rather inauspicious start in 2011, Rimac Automobili quickly made a name for itself with its first production car, the Concept One. The extremely limited all-wheel-drive Concept One pushed out a whopping 1,224 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque. It had a range of 205 miles and cost a million euros when it was new. As impressive as that debut effort may have been, Rimac’s next electric hypercar is set to blow those benchmarks out of the water.

Company founder Mate Rimac posted a video on YouTube showing off a preproduction version of the Concept Two (also known as the C_Two). It will carry a different name when it goes into production later this year, and it will also be even quicker than the blindingly rapid version that stars in the video. As you’ll see when you click the play button, Rimac takes his creation down a deserted runway and manages to run the 1/4 mile in 8.94 seconds at 155.1 miles per hour.

A few points to consider: This preproduction model is running at about 85% torque capacity as the automaker continues tuning its motors and electronics. It’s also not equipped with the launch control programming that the 1,914-horsepower production model will feature. Put simply, the upcoming Rimac will very likely be the quickest production vehicle ever sold.

To put its acceleration into perspective, Rimac brought along a Porsche Taycan Turbo S and lined ’em up for a little race. See the results for yourself up above.

2022 Hyundai Kona N: Hot Sub-Compact SUV with DCT and Launch Control

Hyundai has unveiled a new hot version of their Kona crossover SUV. The new Kona N is the latest High Performance Variant added to Hyundai’s N lineup as well as the first N model with an SUV body design that offers a combination of agility, racetrack readiness, powerful acceleration and versatility.

The new Kona N has been fitted with a turbocharged 2.0litre GDI engine with 8-speed wet dual clutch transmission (N DCT) which is an improved version of the in-housed 8-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission (8DCT). The 8DCT was enhanced with the aim of making it more suitable for the N vehicle models as well as improve the durability to ensure the car can easily handle high performance vehicle demands.

The T-GDI engine is able to generate the best performance by applying unique gear ratios. The transmission control unit is calibrated for the N model to ensure fast shifting and present a range of exclusive driving features including N Grin Shift (NGS), N Power Shift (NPS) and N Track Sense Shift (NTS) which are able to increase the performance output.

The Kona N engine powertrain generates a maximum output of 280PS, 240 km/h maximum speed and the acceleration from 0-100km/h is achieved in 5.5 seconds when launch control is activated. N Grin Shift drive feature increases the output to 290PS.

Hyundai developed the N Corner Carving Differential which is an electronic limited slip differential (E-LSD) to control the torque generated to the wheels as well as ensure the vehicle is enjoyable when taking corners. The vehicle has also been fitted with 19 inch lightweight forged wheels with high-performance brakes and tires. Track control ensures stability on different surfaces including mud and snow.

Hyundai Kona N interior

Kona N comes with Launch Control, N Grin control system as well as Variable Exhaust Valve System as standard even at the base trim.

The new 10 inch infotainment and digital cluster system equipped in the Kona N features an exclusive racing head-up display (HUD) that adds a game-like dimension when driving under N or Sport Drive Mode. Konan N has customized N buttons that can be set to toggle custom modes and also used to turn the lap timer on and off just like in popular racing video games.

The Konan N has a wide stance and appears close to the ground thanks to the combination of body-coloured fenders and the 19 inch sport wheels that have wider tracks compared to other wheels options.

The vehicle’s exterior has been designed in a newly developed, N-exclusive Sonic Blue colour that is most associated with the N brand. Kona N is the only model that can be ordered in Sonic Blue at the moment.

The exterior of the vehicle features a front lip spoiler, double wing roof spoiler and side skirts that improve the aerodynamic efficiency. The wide air intakes at the front lower bumper provides sufficient air to cool the engine during hot laps and fast driving. The double wing roof spoiler enhances downforce to improve the stability of the vehicle while providing visual flair. In addition, the interior of the Konan N also features Performance Blue colour accents, seats, door handles, shift knob and steering wheel.

Konan N is fully equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to ensure safe and convenient trips, the system includes Forward Collision Avoidance (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), Lane Following Assist (LFA) and High Beam Assist (HBA). In addition, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA), Safe Exit Warning (SEW), Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance alert (RCCA) are also available as standard. Voice recognition systems are also available with speech-to-meaning and deep meaning understanding technology.

Every high-performance N model has been designed and engineered at the Hyundai Motor Namyang R&D centre and afterwards taken to Nurburgring in Germany to undergo multiple testing on the track and validation. N brand was named after Nanyang and Nurburgring.

Hyundai Motor company is looking forward to further expanding the N and N Line lineup to 18 models by 2022, the New N and N Line lineup will feature different variants in each major car segment suitable for all drivers.
