One-off Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon is named after a bird of prey

Pagani has launched the latest Huayra Roadster at the 'The Quail - A Motorsport Gathering' event as part of Monterrey Car Week. Officially named Pagani Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon, this Italian hypercar takes its name from the best of all eagle species known as fast and ferocious hunters. A suitable name for cars like the Huayra Roadster.

The car is finished in a white shade similar to that of the Gyrfalcon’s feathers complemented with exposed carbon fiber resembling the bird’s spotted black wings. There are bright yellow accents on the rear view mirrors, over the side skirts, side air-intakes, on the front bumper and on the nose of the car. The stripe running down the nose imitates the Gyrfalcon’s beak.

The inspiration from the bird doesn’t end there as the falcon’s image is also stitched into the car’s headrests, door cards and matching luggage set. A special gyrfalcon gold coin is also lodged inside the shift knob.

Remembering the SAAB PhoeniX Concept car

Remember those super-sleek, and over-the-top concept cars from your childhood? The ones that sent imaginations on fire, brought awe to young minds and provided a glimpse into an exciting automotive future? From first glance, the Saab PhoeniX is one of those concepts.
2011 SAAB PhoeniX Concept while on display at the Geneva Auto Show 2011. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2wOAKmH)
The PhoeniX was designed by Jason Castriota as one of his first creations for SAAB. The design was inspired by the SAAB 92001, but with design cues from nearly every SAAB model made. The car uses the platform that was intended for the planned 2013 SAAB 9-3 replacement, which was never realized.

Boasting tremendous technology and efficiency, the PhoeniX introduces what the automaker calls an ‘aeromotional’ design, which amounts to a visual evocation of the aerodynamic design principles used in SAAB’s first car.

The teardrop-inspired, ‘liquid metal’ skin is worn tightly against the PhoeniX’s structure and generates a muscular, taut and aggressive character. Though functionally sound and penned with an eye for efficiency, the outlandish look of this concept was a hit with kids and grown-ups alike.

And the Geneva Motor Show 2011 event was where the PhoeniX’s debut took place, crowds noted the curious aerodynamic winglets, which amount to sculpted, body-mounted spoilers utilized for airflow management. The winglets work towards a slippery drag coefficient of just 0.25, while creating a unique styling element.

Aside from the stand-out bodywork, the PhoeniX concept also boasted such styling elements as a low-profile, wraparound greenhouse and turbine-blade wheels as the acknowledgement form of the brand’s history in aviation world.

On board, the PhoeniX’s 2+2 cabin is styled with a simple and understated look that hides numerous technologically advanced features. Taking cues from competition cars, PhoeniX boasts shell-like seats, exposed segments that mimic a roll cage and a focused environment that literally surrounds the driver’s seat.

Despite the modest cabin appearance, PhoeniX boasts an afterburner-inspired instrument cluster, jet-style head-up display and a unique IQon infotainment and communications system that’s mounted as close to the driver’s fingertips as the steering wheel.

The uncluttered and minimalist approach also speaks to the model’s lightweight construction, which aids in fuel efficiency and performance. The Android-powered interface delivers easy access to numerous functions and works as its own unique styling element. It can even connect to the Internet.

As well another futuristic thing is the PhoeniX’s drivetrain. Under its rippling bodywork, the 2018 Saab PhoeniX deploys an innovative transmission, rear axle with an electric motor mated to a 200 hp, 1.6-liter petrol engine turbo sophisticated.

The result is a hybrid capacity intelligent all-wheel drive that enhances driving pleasure while reducing car's fuel consumption. The CO2 emissions and combined cycle fuel economy is projected to be just 5.0 l/100 km and 119 g/km..
Although now the Swedish car manufacturer has been gone, but through the existence of the SAAB PhoeniX Concept at least can make a wonderful memory of the success of those manufacturer ever build a beautiful concept car.

As we all knew, The PhoeniX was awarded the 2011 Auto Express design award with a landslide victory receiving by 30% of the votes, beating Alfa Romeo 4C (in the 2nd place) and Jaguar C-X75 (in the 3rd place). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WIKIPEDIA | JALOPNIK | INNERMOBIL | TOPGEAR]

Here's she is the newest Ferrari's one-off supercar named Deborah

Ferrari, is not an ordinary car manufacturer. This Italian manufacturer is famous for its luxury, elegant and exclusive car manufacturers. Now, about exclusivity, Ferrari SP38 might be the most obvious example.
The Ferrari SP38 ‘Deborah’ is one guy’s dream come true. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2NU4syd)
These hypercar, which is the result of a Special Project Division from the Ferrari Design Center, was created specifically as a manifestation of the One-Off Customer program. Yes, this car they deliberately made and there is only one in the world specifically designated for one lucky consumer.
Front view of the Ferrari SP38 ‘Deborah.’ (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2NU4syd)
The Prancing Horse logoed manufacturer uses the Ferrrari 488 GTB as the base of SP38. On the plate of this car, there is a Deborah 'frills' behind the SP38 name which is a representation of a three-layer metallic red paint known as 'Deborah Red'.
Interior view of the Ferrari SP38 ‘Deborah.’ (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2NU4syd)
As a result the only hypercar was labeled as Ferrari SP38 Deborah. Not without reason, Ferrari chose the bright red color for this special project. They are inspired by their iconic model, the Ferrari F40 which is the most expensive, most sophisticated, fastest car they ever produced between 1987-1992.

About the concept itself, Ferrari combines retro design but with a modern accent for this model. Then in terms of cosmetics, the front looks so low and pointed that makes it look similar to the limited edition car that was once launched, Ferrari J50.
Right side view of the Ferrari SP38 ‘Deborah.’ (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2NU4syd)
In affixing the headlights, they have the concept to bring the thinest headlight possible which makes the front display so sharp and aggressive. Still from the front, there is also a Daytime Running Light (DRL) that they put on the front bumper of the car.

Aggressive impression is more visible from the sharp pull of the roof line and the formation of a very minimalist side window. Its wheels with a star-shaped spokes, complete with a prancing horse logo in the middle, adorns these Ferrari SP38 Deborah's legs.
Rear side view of the Ferrari SP38 ‘Deborah.’ (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2NU4syd)
Entering the cabin, Ferrari presents the seats with dark Alcantara material combined with the red threads stitches. There are no special changes that they focus on this section. Overall the interior is still the same as what is found on the Ferrari 488 GTB, which distinguishes only the words 'Deborah' that they paste on the left dashboard.

As reported by Carscoops, Ferrari also does not change the mechanical pacemaker section. The power source is the same engine used by the Ferrari 488 GTB, ie a 3.9 liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which promises a maximum burst of power of 661 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 760 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm which is channeled to the rear wheels via a dual gearbox - Seven-speed and trick electronically controlled diff.
These one-off Ferrari supercar has been shown for the first time to public at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este on May 2018 and has an estimated price of of €4 million or equivalent to Rp.63 billions. WOW!! *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROADSHOW | ZIGWHEELS | CARBUZZ | CARSCOOPS]

The Italian auto-builders gave a fierce look to the Alfa Romeo 4C

Colaboration between Adler Group and UP Design have taken the very beautiful Alfa Romeo 4c and somehow turned it into something significantly more beautiful called the Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. If you prefer your jaw to keep it from bruising, now is a good time to put some soft pillows on the floor.
The Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001 is a one-off built by Up Design and the Adler Group. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2CpLGxf)
I can't say I know much about Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001, other than what is on the Mole Automobiles brand car website. The site shows specifications that match the Alfa Romeo 4C bone stock, and which says (translated from Italian) that the car is "One-off on a 4C base, reinterpreted to retain the Alfa style, but with Mole DNA."
Left side view of Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2CpLGxf)
Every corner of the Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001 - designed and built by Umberto Polermo Design in collaboration with Adler Group - avoids the elegant beauty of the usual 4C for a more aggressive, in-your-face look, with the back having "louvers" in windows, lights aggressive dark rear and quad exhaust, and the front fascia is completely reworked.

The wide and dark headlights, places far outside and inside the aero channel, make the car look threatening, as well as the wide and wide grille openings and high upright grille. Even the interior is custom, with very Italian brown skin mixed with black leather and what looks like an aluminum accent.
Interior view of Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2wPiP0e)
Specialised in the interior design, the new Alfa-Mole features matte metal applications juxtaposed against leather in orange and grey as well as carbon fibre trim on the doors, boasting the know-how and the precious materials of the companies of the Adler group and the best craftsmanship of Neapolitan leather goods, a true epitome of a luxurious ride that is stylish inside out.
Rear side view of Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2CpLGxf)
To top off this bespoke supercar, the Alfa-Mole uses a turbocharged 1,8-liter four-cylinder engine with 237 hp (176 kW) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. This is enough to send the Alfa Romeo 4C from 0 to 60mph in 4.1 seconds and onto a top speed of 160mph (257km/h).
It only looks amazing from every angle, and somehow reaches something that I think is impossible: This makes ordinary 4C look rather bland. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOLE AUTOMOBILES | CARSCOOPS | AUTOWEEK | LUXUO]

The Gustav Skippone, an elegant time-mixture on the motorcycle works

The presence of these motor is very tempting motorcycle enthusiast around the world. These motorbike don’t just put the wind in your hair and a hottie in your lap, they’re a direct line to your testosterone and adrenaline while you ride on it.
Front side view of Gustav Skippone by Yuri Shif's Custom. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2BI0SW7)
The theme taken of World War II era motorcycle combined with the crazy futuristic retro steampunk style. Are these time-mixture recipe ended as disaster or success?

But, if in the hands of Belarus-based motorcycle builder named Yuri Shif's Custom, it’s become a recipe for the excellence works.
Right side view of Gustav Skippone by Yuri Shif's Custom. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2BI0SW7)
Through this bike rapidly made it becoming one of the most interesting custom builders outside the US. Granted, its specialty is show bikes—but it’s mixing interesting design and paint with a tremendous level of detail.
Engine view of Gustav Skippone by Yuri Shif's Custom. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2BI0SW7)
This S&S-engined-motorbike is the follow-up to the previous controversial works named ‘DUster’, the star of the 2010 Custombike and Verona Expo shows. It’s mysteriously called Gustav Skippone, for those name reasons only known by its owner Vladimir Kristovskiy.
Rear side view of Gustav Skippone by Yuri Shif's Custom. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2BI0SW7)
As with DUster, the paintwork is unusually pale for a custom, but the retro-inspired cream color strangely works. The bike is built around a powerhouse 107ci, S&S V-twin engine, and able to burst the power of 95-or-so horsepower through a Baker 6-speed ‘box and Continental rubber.
Normally we wouldn’t support anything that comes in soften otherwise made it more stiff by adding enough metal, rubber, and gasoline and even a man’s mind can be changed. The fuel tank, swingarm and softail frame are all YSC creations—with a classic Harley-Davidson gold-accent helical spring to handling suspension duties up front.

Kept spur your adrenaline on the power of two-wheeled monster and stay alive with the true safety riding. May God will forgive Your sins and so does the cops.... *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE AWESOMER]

A Belarusian Ducati DUster custom motorcycle

Belarus is a European country—pop. 9.85m—that most folks would have difficulty finding it on a map. (Precisely, it’s on the western border of Russia.) It’s not a place you’d expect to find a top-flight custom motorcycle designer.

But a Belarusian machine had won the Best Streetfighter trophy at the 2009 Custombike show in Germany. And that same bike has just won the Best International Builder award at the Verona expo in Italy.

The bike is called DUster and it’s from YSC, a name to look out for in the future. Owner Yuri Shif has created a very original look—baroque is the word that springs to my mind—using a Ducati Monster engine and transmission.
Engine view of Yuri Shif DUster. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2MSgevs)
The frame, bodywork and swingarm suspension are Shif’s own creations and the front fork is a modified Showa item. Custom perimeter brakes give the wheels a clean profile.
Right side view of Yuri Shif DUster. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2MSgevs)
It’s to Shif’s huge credit that he has achieved success in a country without a mainstream custom culture, and without a huge network of parts designers and suppliers.
DUster will no doubt be heading Stateside soon: what kind of reception do you think the radical styling will get? Wanna see the DUck.
