If not under the Volkswagen Group banner, the Hunaudières might have made in production version

One-Off Bentley is one of the British automotive manufacturers based in Crewe and is famous for its distinctive luxury cars with an exclusive impression, while the car that we will discuss was produced by the British marque has a more sporty impression and is the beginning of the sporty car designs that came after.
The Bentley Hunaudières' name pays homage to the famous straight of Circuit de la Sarthe where Sir Tim Birkin in a "Blower Bentley" overtook Rudolf Caracciola in a Mercedes-Benz SSK at 125 mph (201 km/h) with one wheel on the grass down the Hunaudières straight. (Picture from: Intersport.id)
Most people probably have never heard of and know the Bentley model called the Bentley Hunaudières Concept, because the mentioned model was never released into production version. What makes this car very special is its bold design.

The name of Hunaudières itself comes from the name of famous straight of the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans France, where the legendary Bentley racing driver of the 1920s, Sir Tim Birkin behind the wheel of the Bentley Blower raced at 201 kph with one wheel on the grass while overtaking Rudolf Carraciola who drove a Mercedes-Benz SSK at the 24 Heures du Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans).

Indeed, Bentley Hunaudières is the company special program to change its image, that those British auto marque can also built modern supercars, without changing its identity as a legendary aristocratic brand. The Bentley Hunaudières is a concept car made by the Crewe-based automaker in 1999, and exhibited at the Geneva Salon International de l'Auto (Geneva International Auto Show) in the same year.
The Bentley Hunaudières Concept is actually the work of Ferdinand Piëch, who is none other than the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the Porsche brand. (Picture from: Pedal2TheMetal)
This concept car is actually the work of Ferdinand Piëch, who is none other than the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the Porsche brand. The Bentley Hunaudières was built using a modified Lamborghini Diablo VT chassis to be able to carry the Volkswagen's W16 engine coupled with 4-wheel drive technology.

This Volkswagen W16 engine has a capacity of 8,000 cc, naturally-aspirated which is capable of producing 623 hp at 6,000 rpm and 760 nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Those numbers are more than enough to make the Hunaudières able to reach a top speed of 350 kph.

Unfortunately, the Bentley Hunaudières never continued even though many were enthusiastic and waiting for the production version.😢 Instead, the car was reborn in 2005 under the name of Bugatti Veyron with increased power up to 1,000 hp. How come? As the saying goes, nothing is impossible in this world. Especially if you see that currently the Bentley and Bugatti brands are under the banner of the Volkswagen Group, so something like that is likely could be happened.
To become a Veyron, in addition to changing its bodyworks, the 5-speed manual transmission of Bentley Hunaudières was also replaced by a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission unit, so that which was originally estimated to be able to penetrate the speed of 350 kph, but the Veyron overtouched those speed figures, as the result the speedometer needle stable in the numbers of 430 kph. Wow!

For your info, the Bentley Hunaudières is a secret car from the TOCA World Touring Cars game for Sony PlayStation and Game Boy Advance consoles, and the only racing game that has Hunaudières. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ULTIMATECARPAGE ]

Is this one of the best modern American muscle cars?

Two Nostrils The typical American muscle car that often looks dashing with the iconic firebird badge on its hood is indeed very popular among automotive enthusiasts in the world. However, among the many Firebird models made by Pontiac from 1967 to 2002, it turns out that there is a model that we think is very special while viewed from its appearance. Take a look the picture below!

So, have you ever seen the Firebird model like above before? That is Pontiac Trans Am Firebird WS6 described as a special package called the Trans Am to the Firebird models made in 1978. So it's natural if we didn't know of the existence of this model before, considering the model was produced in limited numbers by Pontiac  plus only a few privileged person had chance to own it.
The Pontiac Trans Am Firebird WS6 (in pictured the final model 2002) gives a fierce impression by attaching a Ram Air intake featuring two nostrils. (Picture from: HotCars)
It started when Pontiac made the sporty Firebird as the answer to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. The car combined an available big V-8 with aggressive, attention-grabbing styling and delivered it in a relatively practical four-passenger package. Like its pony-car competitors, the rear-wheel-drive Firebird offered tire-smoking power and impressive acceleration.

The F-body platform on which it and the Camaro were based, however, was arguably well past its prime by the early 2000s. 2002 was the final year of production for Pontiac's iconic but dated speed machine. The Firebird Trans Am was powered by GM's 5.7-liter LS1 V-8 engine. It was available as a hatchback coupe or a convertible. The WS6 package added additional enhancements to the engine and chassis.

The coupe measured 193.8 inches in length, 74.5 inches in width and 52.0 inches in height, with a 101.1-inch wheelbase. Except for being about half an inch taller with its top up, the convertible had matching exterior dimensions. The coupe's base curb weight was 3,499 lbs, while the convertible weighted-in at a slightly beefier 3,623 lbs. The coupe and the convertible were equal in terms of interior space.

The front seats offered 37.2 inches of headroom, 57.4 inches of shoulder room, 52.8 inches of hip room and 42.9 inches of legroom. Backseat passengers got a somewhat-cramped 35.3 inches of headroom, 55.8 inches of shoulder room, 44.4 inches of hip room and 28.9 inches of legroom. The coupe had space for 12.9 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats up and a maximum of 33.7 cubic feet with them folded down. The convertible's trunk provided 7.6 cubic feet of storage space.

As quoted of Hotcars, the typical Pontiac' muscle car featured with WS6 package has unique appearance was initially introduced by GM to the market in 1987 as a standard feature on the Trans Am GTA and Firebird Formula, but took the WS6 package off the market in 1992 because not having an impact on its sales.

Surprisingly, in 1996 it was re-entered the market by giving a slight tweak to its uniquely made hood which had a Ram Air intake featuring two nostrils thought increasing in the engine power output from 285 horsepower to massive 305 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 345 ft-lbs of torque at 4,400 rpm. Besides that it helped direct air for cooling its engine, along with a freer-flowing exhaust system. The package also added shocks, bushings, firmer springs, front and rear sway bars, and a firmer transmission mount.

The Firebird Trans Am WS6's performance capabilities were quite strong for its time. It could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds flat. A quarter-mile run took just 13.5 seconds at 107.4 mph. While straight-line speed was the main attraction, the Pontiac also put out very decent braking and handling numbers. It could decelerate from 60 to 0 mph in 121 feet, which was about 10 feet better than the Camaro Z28, its platform-mate equivalent from Chevrolet. On a 200-foot skid pad, it could achieve a solid 0.84G of lateral acceleration. Finally, the Trans Am WS6 could race its way through a 600-foot slalom course at 64.6 mph.

While some people liked the interior's sweeping, curvaceous dashboard and red instrument lighting, others found it a bit cheap-looking. Either way, though, the premium WS6 model came with a strong selection of standard equipment. This included fog lamps, leather seating surfaces, a six-way power driver seat, a tilt-adjustable steering column, full power accessories, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, air conditioning and a six-speaker CD stereo. Options included a premium 10-speaker Monsoon audio system, and T-tops for coupes.

As mentioned before, the early Firebird WS6s are extremely rare cars as Pontiac didn’t record great sales run during those times. However, it has been estimated that about 2,500 of the 31,000 Firebirds sold in 1996 were equipped with the WS6 package. 
The sales of the WS6 improved in the next year to about 3,900 units. Notably, the final production year was one of the best in terms of sales with close to 15,000 units of the WS6 Trans Ams sold after selling just 7,000 the previous year.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HOTCARS | ITSTILLRUNS ]

Look back Mitsubishi HSR Concept series

Rare Concepts Most of the cars that we talk about in this series of articles devoted to forgotten concepts are in fact not so unfamiliar, on the contrary, many people remember them well, especially when they have given life in some way or form. another to production models. 
1995 Mitsubishi HSR-V Concept. (Picture from: Byri.net)
For the Mitsubishi HSR, on the other hand, things are different, because although we are dealing in this subject not with one but six prototypes, presented at regular intervals of two years one after the other on the occasion of the Tokyo Auto Shows between 1987 and 1997, none of them left their mark. Too bad, because while it is true that they did not directly become production models, many of the innovations baptized by this family have since appeared on production cars.
As quoted of Wikipedia, the meaning of HSR acronym varied over the years. The first iteration meant Hi-Speed Running Research, the second Highly Sophisticated-transport Research, and the third Human Science Research. All of the HSR acronym means could not only imply aesthetic refinement, indeed, each of the concepts (all designed by the same hand, that of Akinori Nakanishi) had equally innovative technologies, from the electronic control of the chassis to the steering on the four wheels, from active aerodynamics to stability control and small supercharged engines, all of which are very rare or have not yet happened on production cars at the time.
1987 Mitsubishi HSR Concept. (Picture from: Carstyling.ru)
The first concept car of this series was made by Mitsubishi in 1987 and was called the Mitsubishi HSR Concept (HSR means as 'Hi-speed Running Research'). It was made as a show car featured with the Mitsubishi's integrated electronic systems offering automatic control of drive train, suspension, steering, brakes, and driving position according to driving conditions or weather. The car was powered by a 2.0-litre 16-valve turbocharged engine capable spew out power of 291 horsepower, and claimed to be run up to a maximum speed of 300 kph.
1989 Mitsubishi HSR-II Concept. (Picture from: AllCarIndex)
The second generation called the Mitsubishi HSR-II Concept (HSR means as 'Highly Sophisticated-transport Research') made by the Japanese automaker in 1989. It had a heavy emphasis on active aerodynamics (such the independent suspension and electronically-adjustable dampers all around), coupled with a series of movable fins and spoilers offering a drag factor which varied from 0.20 to 0.40 depending on setup. Besides the HSR-II is packing a twin-turbo V6 along with 4-wheel steering and 4-wheel drive as well.

For your info, the HSR-II Concept could be found and driven virtually in the racing games titled of the Gran Turismo 4, Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6 under the Sony's PlayStation consoles.
1991 Mitsubishi HSR-III Concept. (Picture from: Carstyling.ru)
The third concept car to bear the HSR name is built back in 1991 and known as the Mitsubishi HSR-III Concept under design themes of "Human Scale Technology" and "Small is beautiful and continued the active aerodynamics theme of the HSR-II, but with the addition of flexible skin on the rear spoiler dubbed an "elastic aerotail. It was powered by an 1.6-litre V6 6A10 engine (known as the world's smallest mass-produced V6 engine) capable burst power of 177 hp. Indeed, the HSR-III shifting from the overtly sporting and powerful earlier HSRs, however focused on cleanliness and recyclability so all of the car body parts marked for ease of recycling.
1993 Mitsubishi HSR-IV Concept. (Picture from: Carstyling.ru)
As for the fourth of the HSR (HSR means as 'Human Science Research') series is made by Mitsubishi back in 1993. It is named Mitsubishi HSR-IV Concept powered y a modulated displacement version of the 1.6-litre V6 engine capable burst power of 177 horsepower. Besides the four-wheel-drive sports concept car also featuring an all-wheel anti-lock braking system.
1995 Mitsubishi HSR-V Concept. (Picture from: Pinterest)
However, the fifth version (as seen as the first picture above), the one presented by Mitsubishi at the 1995 edition of the international event, had something more: it came with a slightly different appearance, adjustable ground clearance and bodywork. convertible with a semi-transparent retractable roof that made it go from coupe to roadster. In short, a coupe-convertible-crossover ahead of its time. While, the Mitsubishi HSR-V Concept, in particular, was equipped with first 1.8-liter gasoline engine with direct injection, the ancestor of the famous GDi family of Mitsubishi launched the following year on the Galant and then the Carisma.
1997 Mitsubishi HSR-VI Concept. (Picture from: WheelsAge.org)
Meanwhile in 1997, the Japanese automaker made an evolution in design on the Mitsubishi HSR-VI Concept, which powered by the 2.4-litre version of the GDI engine and also had four-wheel steering, active yaw, traction controls, even an early automated driving system ('Automated Driving' and 'Driver Operated' Modes, two operating modes suited to the traffic environment of the near future).
1997 Mitsubishi HSR-VI Concept. (Picture from: WheelsAge.org)
The HSR-VI Concept's cabin lowers to its lowest position to insure a low total overall height of 1,220 mm. This perfectly matches the overall width of 1,870 mm to create a bold, stable appearance. At the same time, the front end profile is compact to greatly reduce air resistance. When in this mode, the styling of HSR-VI is worthy of the ultra-high efficiency and next generation personal transportation. That's the final concept, since then the HSR series is no longer made by the Japanese manufacturer.😏
As for the design, in our opinion the Mitsubishi HSR-VI Concept was less attractive and had much like “Blade Runner” in boxy shape. And we preferred to the Mitsubishi HSR-V Concept. Finally, which one do you think has the best design from all the models from the HSR series above and give your opinion on the comment collum.  *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | JALOPNIK | AUTONETMAGZ | WIKIPEDIA | BYRI.NET | CAR-REV-DAILY ]

Here's Jim Glickenhaus's hydrogen-powered concept car

New Spectator As is being intensively carried out by the automotive world players to create renewable fueled vehicles that will replace the conventional fossil fueled vehicles. As result many vehicles have been developed by using renewable fuels such as hydrogen fuel. Not only that, sometimes it also creates an unexpected sensation as the fruit of different views and business rivalries.
The SCG 009 Concept is believed to be able to cover the distance from New York to Los Angeles under a fully filled hydrogen fuel. (Picture from: Carbuzz)
As we could be saw on the early of 2021, the development of this environmentally friendly vehicle arosed to be personal feud between Jim Glickenhaus and Elon Musk after the CEO of Tesla thrown controvertial statements in his Twitter back in 2020 about the use of hydrogen fuel cells in concept vehicles. Even Elon Musk calls the fuel cell technology used in hydrogen-powered cars as "fool sells."
To respose the Elon Musk's negative opinion, then Jim Glickenhaus through his official Facebook account released an image of a hydrogen concept car called the SCG 009 Concept, and wrote, "SCG 009 Concept, Liquid Hydrogen, Fuel Cell. Range NY-LA, One's grasp should always exceed one's reach." The man who has known own the many legendary prancing horse badged cars such Ferrari P4/5 has designed a hydrogen-powered supercar with unusual appearance compared to the current sports car or supercar.

Well, Jim Glickenhaus's auto company designed the SCG 009 Concept under a classic wedge-design is reminiscent us to old-school sportscar figures such as the Lamborghini Countach and Lancia Stratos while the futuristic look is only felt in the large windshield and its large wings at rear.
The Glickenhaus Boot has debuted at the 2019 Baja 1000 rally and won in class 2 of the event, completing the off-road endurance race. (Picture from: Carbuzz)
Unfortunately the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) did not provide any detailed specifications regarding the hydrogen-powered super car. It's just that Jim Glickenhaus claims that the car will be able to travel the distance from New York to Los Angeles under a fully filled hydrogen fuel. For your info that the distance from New York to Los Angeles is 3,940 kilometers.
Elon Musk's disparaging statements not only sparked a feud between him and Jim Glickenhaus also made Glickenhaus furious and challenged him to bring his Tesla Cybertruck for fight in prestigious offroad events such as the Baja 1000 against the Glickenhaus' tough Baja rally car known as 'The Boot' by using power of the hydrogen fuel cell.

It seems that Jim Glickenhaus seriously wants to immediately prove that hydrogen cannot be underestimated as one of the potential environmentally friendly alternative fuels other than electricity. And for those of you whose also interested in developing an environmentally friendly vehicle from SCG like this, you can go here. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCG | HKMOTORCARS | CARBUZZ ]

In addition, the Toyota bZ4X is the first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) of Toyota built under the e-Toyota New Global Architecture (e-TNGA) platform which is being seriously developed with its compatriot automaker company Subaru Corporation, where the two companies are trying to create a BEV vehicle with a low center of gravity. Even the ability of this car is also designed to be able to devour off-road terrain which is the hallmark of SUVs.
The Toyota bZ4X's interior presents a slick blend of the latest technology with the make it easy concept for users, which can be seen from the instrument panel display, various button operation features including transmission, to the entertainment device screen. (Picture from: Kompas)
The Toyota bZ4X is also equipped with the latest generation of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and also the use of the latest body structure. So, what are the specifications of this Toyota bZ4X? On the paper, the Toyota bZ4X has dimensions of 4,690 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width and 1,650 in height which includes the antenna. While, its wheelbase reaches 2,850 mm with a cabin length of 1,940 mm. In addition, the roof is also available with a normal roof (solar roof) or panoramic roof which can be selected according to consumer desires.
The Toyota bZ4X still maintains various mechanical systems and combines them with modern technology so that it gives rise to a modern impression but still unique to Toyota. (Picture from: Carmudi)
According to Autocar, the normal roof cabin height reaches 1,160 mm, while the panoramic version has a cabin height of 1,145 mm. This means that in our opinion the car has dimensions that are quite compact. It is also mentioned that the Toyota bZ4X comes with a choice of front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. As for the legs, the front suspension of the Toyota bZ4X uses coil spring struts in the front while the rear gets double wishbones and ventilated brakes all around.
The Toyota bZ4X is the first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) of Toyota built under the e-Toyota New Global Architecture (e-TNGA) platform which is being seriously developed with its compatriot automaker company Subaru Corporation. (Picture from: Kompas)
Furthermore the car with a capacity of 5 passengers is powered with an AC synchronous electric generator type. So for the front-wheel drive version has a maximum output of 150 kW, while the AWD version reaches 80 kW. Both types of bZ4X drives are powered by a 355 volt Lithium-ion battery. While the total power generated reaches 71.4 kWh. According to Toyota, the battery can be charged up to 80 percent in 30 minutes, and for the car's charging can also be done using solar panels embedded in the roof of the car (if attached).
The Toyota bZ4X is powered by an AC synchronous electric generator type also has a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 71.4 kWh. (Picture from: Kompas)
According to claims issued by Toyota, this electric-powered car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 8.4 seconds for the Front-Wheels Drive (FWD) version and 7.7 seconds for the All-Wheels Drive (AWD) version. Toyota also guarantees that the specifications of the bZ4X battery are very safe thanks to the use of high-resistance coolant which can prevent fires caused by electrical short circuits.
The Toyota bZ4X's chassis is made with a lower center of gravity and a higher level of rigidity, in order to provide a pleasant driving feeling. (Picture from: Carmudi)
This Toyota electric-powered car has a turning radius of 5.7 meters and reportedly weighs 2,195 kg for front-wheel drive and 2,275 kg for the AWD version. Now, with that weight, the front-wheel drive version can cover a distance of up to 500 km, while the AWD version can cover a distance of 460 km.
Not only specification data, the Japanese automotive giant has also released the price of the Toyota bZ4X which will reportedly be sold for the first time in the UK with a price tag starting from £41,950 (around Rp.790 million) to the most expensive variant which is priced at around £51,550 (equivalent to Rp.900 million). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TOYOTA | AUTOCAR ]

Ferrari 330 P4 as one of the Maranello's sexiest beasts

Season Greetings Even though it comes from the 1960s era where beautiful classic sports cars triumphed on world racing tracks, the Ferrari 330 P4 of 1967 is still an exotic race car of the Maranello-based automaker with an appearance that seems to mix the design of an airplane with a race car, the Ferrari 330 P4 is not only an attractive car, it is also one of the easiest to drive.

As quoted from Ferrari' sites, the car with styling look very similar to the previous 330 P3 was powered by a V12 engine that had been radically redesigned by Franco Rocchi. The most obvious modification was the introduction of a three-valve cylinder head (two inlet and one exhaust). While its fuel feed was provided by a Lucas injection system.

Meanwhile its chassis was slightly shorter than the 330 P3’s, and the new suspension system improved roadholding. The car won numerous races and earned its place in the history books after a memorable 1-2-3 at Daytona 1967.

However, the Maranello-based premium car manufacturer has only ever made the 330 P4 model as many as 3 units, which are equipped with a V12 engine with a capacity of 3,967 cc (242 CI) and coupled with an addition of the same fuel injection system from the previous P3 model. So made the Ferrari 330 P4 can boost power to 450 hp (335 kW), and can reach a top speed of 210 mph or 338 kph.

According to Nick Longhi, a mechanical engineer and instructor of the Ferrari Corso Pilota who said, “Almost anyone can jump in (this car) and immediately able to drive it. The 330 P4, combined with its high performance and stunning looks, makes it one of the most admired cars in the world.”

Especially, because this Ferrari 330 P4 is the only original version left in the world. Well, here's a video of his appearance from the Petrolicious's YouTube account. Enjoy!
And today, it was from this car that then inspired Ferrari in November 2021 to launch the third car of the Icona series, named the Ferrari Daytona SP3 which was intended to pay homage to the legendary 1-2-3 brilliant winning finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona 1967 that helped earn the marque its unparalleled motor sport status. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FERRARI | SPORTSCARDIGEST ]
