This extreme-look Espada had hefty exposed to the classic hot-rod virus

Perhaps, the world's automotive enthusiasts are more familiar with the names of the car line-ups of the raging-bull logoed Italian manufacturer like Aventador, Huracan, Miura, Countach, or Murcielago, this is very understandable. Because indeed one of the other line-ups, namely Lamborghini Espada was very little produced by the manufacturer in the 1970s.

Not only a few in numbers (more precisely limited to no more than 1,200 units), Lamborghini Espada also created full of identity that is very difficult to match with other cars even though the fellow raging-bull logoed cars.

This makes the Lamborghini paradigm unique tends to weird, it can be absolutely pinned on the figure of the Espada. The car model in production from 1968 to 1978, known as Ferruccio Lamborghini’s answer to the Rolls-Royce Corniche grand tourer in the time.

But what would happen if the strange figure of the Lamborghini Espada was then modified in such a way as to carry a hot-rod style that is not commonly done by automotive enthusiasts in Europe? You’ve probably able to see how's wild as Danton Art Kustoms’ 1968 Espada hot-rod.

The 'Rat Rod' as the French custom workshop refer to it and built-in 2018 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Espada at that time. Now, the car is ready to be auctioned as part of the sale of Kissimmee 2020 Mecum Auctions in central Florida in January.

It might be because from the beginning the Espada has brought a unique car image so that it can be transformed into a perfect canvas in the process of creating the first hot-rod styled car built using the base of the Lamborghini car.

The interior of Danton Art Kustoms' 1968 Lamborghini Espada 'Rat Rod' is equiped with 4 custom-made seats. (Picture from: https://yhoo.it/2PGNMO0)

For this vehicle, Danton built it together with CHD Edition and Carrosserie Hervé. They had some fun with the elongated grand tourer design. Although the car really looks like an intact Espada, its sweeping curves are made sharper and equipped with new side scoops.

Meanwhile, the wheelbase has been widened dramatically and its 3.9-liter V12 engine left exposed as it normally applied to the classic hot-rod tradition which also functioned as a car showpiece. It's a stunning appearance with its gorgeous stainless steel tubular headers and exhausts on full display.

Then the process was refined by giving a matte black paint job with an Italian flag accent. Then a racing-style reinforced windshield, the interior is laid out simply with custom-made seats, and fat Michelin racing tires that wrapped its red rims to give the Espada an undeniable impression like a car that came from the Mad-Max' era.

Danton Art Kustoms’ 1968 Espada Rat Rod is expected to sell for between $200,000 to $250,000 when it goes up for auction during Mecum’s Kissimmee next year event. Considering its one-of-a-kind nature, that just might be money well spent for Lamborghini and hot rod enthusiasts alike. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | YAHOO]

Morgan EvaGT, how are you today?

For automotive enthusiasts when talking about sports cars, or supercars, it seems endless. There are always topics of conversation, ranging from classic models, to futuristic. Well, on this occasion will be discussed again about a beautiful supercar named Morgan EvaGT presented by Morgan Motor Company back in 2010.

A design sketch of Morgan EvaGT. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2sIRiOG)

Yes, this manufacturer is one of the few sports car manufacturers from the UK that able to survive today. The design of Morgan cars is known to be very classic. As we all knew, Morgan Motor Company was founded by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan (HFS) in 1913. And today, the company is led by Charles Morgan, one of HFS's grandsons.

To develop its business, Morgan Motor Company is collaborating with BMW, Siemens and Bosch, and also a number of renowned universities in the UK. And starting in 2010 Morgan Motor Company is committed to releasing a new model every two years.

Morgan EvaGT has debuted at the 2010 Pebble Beach and might be the only car model ever made. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2r8heCW)

Back to Morgan EvaGT, this is a luxurious 4-seater grand tourer inspired by British sports saloons in the 1950s, such as the Bristol 400 and BMW Frazer Nash BMW 328. This classy car uses an aluminum chassis which is the result of further development of Morgan Aero SuperSports, which is a chassis that successfully competed in the GT3 Sports Car Racing international racing event. And reportedly, the chassis has received the green light from the official safety boards in the US and Europe.

While for its power source, the manufacturer is planted a BMW 6-cylinder engine, 3,000 cc, twin-turbo straight-six capable of spraying power up to 302 hp and 295 lb.ft of torque and combined with ZF automatic transmission systems or manual 6-speed. The BMW engine is also said to have complied with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission regulations.

The use of the aluminum platform is intended to reduce the weight of the car so that it can save fuel consumption but still provide optimal safety. So, the weight of this car is only 1,250 kg with fuel consumption of 14.16 km/liter. The top speed that can be achieved by EvaGT is estimated at around 273 kph and acceleration 0-100 kph in around 4.5 seconds.

"EvaGT is intended to be able to serve the family's daily transportation wrapped in a luxury GT car," said Charles Morgan.

"The back seat will be comfortable for children and adults, and it should also be able to make it comfortable if occasionally someone taller is used it," he added.

Therefore, in order to provide extra practicality, the dimensions of the Eva GT were made 4.7 meters longer, 1.8 meters wider and 1.2 meters taller than Morgan Aeromax. While the standard features available on the EvaGT include ABS, ESP, Xenon headlight, satellite navigation, and the latest airbag technology, namely multi-stage 'smart' airbags.

Like other Morgan cars, the EvaGT models are made by hand in its Malvern-based sportscar specialized factory. And this British manufacturer has only made it in a limited amount of 100 units and has been produced since 2012. Morgan EvaGT has made its debut at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and is sold at an estimated price ranging of £70,000 to £85,000.

However, in 2012, the Company announced that its deliveries would be delayed to 2014 to allow for the use of magnesium alloy technology. The company reported that they had spent £1.4 million on such development.

In early 2013, dealers confirmed that the model had been canceled. Customer's £5000 deposits would be returned when requested or could be used for the purchase of a different model. And the model that was launched at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is probably the only Morgan EvaGT car ever made. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MORGAN CAR NEWS | CLASSIC DRIVERS | WIKIPEDIA]

The First street-legal F1 supercar

Driving an F1 car might have been the dream of all automotive enthusiasts in the world. But it is very difficult for us to sit behind the wheel and then drive the land jets. It seems that now the dream will soon come true. An Aussie named Zac Mihajlovic has ambitions to make a Formula 1 replica powered by Ferrari's engine that will be sold in limited quantities. Amazingly, the car can not only run on the racing circuit but can also be used on the highway (adjusted later to the roadworthy permits in the vehicle owner's country).

Zacaria Supercars on its debut at the 2019 Top Marques Monaco on May 30, 2019. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/38PDjaD)

Zac Mihajlovic is the person responsible for turning many people's dreams into reality and building the car with the help of a custom motorcycle builder named Scotty Cox. The car manufacturing process which was later given the name 'Zacaria Supercars' has been going on for almost more than 5 years.

Mihajlovic began his career in the world of car manufacturing since 1989 when he built with its street-legal Batmobile supercar based on the vehicle used in Tim Burton's Batman films. Actually, he had always received a request to make a super vehicle but was hampered due to the licensing issues.

Driven by an interest in his Batmobile, Mihajlovic began working on this F1 racing car replicas that could be driven on the streets. And he said, "So I thought, what's the next most extreme thing that I can build to drive on the streets? Nobody ever has done it with F1 cars, they have made cool things like BAC Mono or Ariel Atom, but they are 4-cylinder engined and more look like concept cars."

"If you want to drive an original F1 car, and should have a team that is needed to run it so I think about the modern V8 or V12 engine from Ferrari, maybe there is a market for people who want something that nobody else has," he said further.

The car development began by taking the 6.3-liter V12 engine which came from a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta carcass in England. The engine has been integrated into a 6-speed transaxle transmission system from Albins, the company responsible for the transmission system that used in the Australian' Supercars racing series.

Then this car's body by handmade that uses full aluminum materials and also is pinned the hydraulic lift system to make it easier to pass through damaged roads. The Zacaria SC made its debut in this year's Top Marques Monaco event back on May 30, 2019, one of the most glamorous events showcasing the world's finest automobiles.

Zac Mihajlovic, the man behind the machine and CEO of Zacaria Supercars said that he had received interest from potential buyers and hoped to sell every of the Zacaria SC that he made at a price of more than AUS $700,000 (around the US. $509,000 or Rp.10.4 billion). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZACARIA SUPERCARS | GATSBYONLINE.COM]

Three Koenigsegg's hypercar concepts of #KoenigseggSketchChallenge

Koenigsegg is a famous hypercar manufacturer from Sweden. The manufacturer recently launched its latest hypercar figure named Koenigsegg Jesko at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show held last March. Recently appeared in cyberspace, many Angelholm brand' hypercar concepts.

A challenge event on social media called #KoenigseggSketchChallenge introduced by Sasha Selippanov is aimed at the world's independent automotive designers to share their vision of the Swedish marque with the world. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/35qELhq)

As we all knew, there's a challenge event called #KoenigseggSketchChallenge on social media aimed at the world's independent automotive designers to share their vision of the Swedish marque with the world. This event was introduced by the new design boss of the automotive manufacturer, Sasha Selipanov, and the challenge will end on Friday, December 20, 2019.

Even challenges like this will certainly result in many hypercars designs that feature alluring shapes, shapes that define the brand. However, there are some artists who help us imagine the possibilities that lie ahead for Koenigsegg, such as the grand tourer, the entries for the upcoming Le Mans Hypercar class and even a concept that involves lending company expertise to someone who built an SUV through the new Koenigsegg's RAW Design House.

1. Koenigsegg Sport Utility Vehicle Concept
Although the Swedish high-performance vehicle brand will never make an SUV product, as Christian von Koenigsegg, CEO Koenigsegg himself has said. But it doesn't seem to diminish the desire of a Brazilian automotive designer named Pedro Ruperto to give birth to an SUV design for the Swedish marque.

Koenigsegg SUV Concept looks like a lifted hypercar with hidden rear doors designed by Pedro Ruperto. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2YXk61Z)

It could be said as the SUV with a double-bubble roof and one that actually manages to please the eye. And of course, since there's no such thing. However, if Koenigsegg would help build a crossover, the contraption might just end up looking like a jacked-up hypercar, which means the said feature wouldn't be impossible.

2. Koenigsegg Longtail Concept
The whole concept comes from Riccardo Angelini, Lead Exterior Designer at Tata Motors (the office in Turin, Italy), which is Jaguar Land Rover's parent company - it's only normal for designers to come up with sketches that showcase toys belonging to other brands in their Instagram spare time.

By zooming in on the lines of the hypercar, which noticed that the design DNA of the Swedish brand is clearly here. Whether talking about the front end styling cues of the Le Mans prototype racer-like cabin this thing looks like a proper Koenigsegg.

While the 360-degree rear wing dominates the track version, the longtail approach is still visible with the road car. And Riccardo also talks about the hardware hidden inside the amazing aero work, noting that the Akrapovic exhaust comes in the form of titanium blades that blend in with the rest of the design.

3. Koenigsegg Grand Tourer Concept

The hypercar rendering image below was given the name 'Koenigsegg Brita RS'. And the figure of the Koenigsegg Grand Tourer concept above was born from the skilled hand scratches of an automotive designer named Mikael Lugnegård who is said to have been in the business for fifteen years. From the design of the hypercar on display, it appears as a hypercar figure with an engine mounted in front of the steering wheel. Thus it is not surprising then that this hypercar has a long hood, which is exactly what can be seen in the rendering image.

With the front-mid-engine layout adds elegance to the design. And it can be said also, that the same thing about the lean muscular area that covers the vehicle wheels. Furthermore, the cabin looks short so that at first glance gives limited visibility to a vehicle that aims to offer a practical sensation of speed. But this can be overcome if one time this car is produced later. Of course, we cannot talk about this without mentioning that such hypercar can package a three-seat layout, with this seeming to be increasingly popular lately.

Although, all car concepts above are not real, but do not rule out the possibility of the Swedish hypercar manufacturer is interested in making one of them as a real car someday. We look forward to it. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOEVOLUTION]

Gordon Murray T.50 supercar with rear-mounted fan

As we all knew, Gordon Murray was the key person behind the birth of the iconic supercar of McLaren F1. And currently, the world's renowned automotive designer is developing the driver-oriented supercar and all carried out through his owned company, the Gordon Murray Automotive. The car is known as the T.50 and claimed to be the lightest supercar ever.

The T.50 Supercar by Gordon Murray Automotive aimed to be "the last and greatest" analog supercar ever built. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/36A8h4x)

And some time ago, Gordon Murray Automotive offered a new look at its T.50 supercar, which was said to be the spiritual successor of the famous McLaren F1 Murray.

The company also outlined details about one of the vehicle's most interesting features, namely the fan system at the rear. Look like the T.50 design is taken inspiration from the Brabham BT46B Formula 1 car with a giant fan at the rear.

Formula 1 design legend Gordon Murray's all-new T.50 supercar will incorporate fan car technology inspired by his controversial 1978 Brabham BT46B. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Ph3Cyv)

This feature offers a massive improvement in terms of aerodynamics. To get the right aerodynamic factor, the automaker has a partnership with the Racing Point Formula One Team to use the rolling-road wind tunnel of their-owned and get assistance from the engineers there.

It is claimed that the 15.75-inch (400 millimeters) sized-fan feature accelerates the airflow as it passes through the rear diffuser. It uses a vertically installed intake duct to prevent the fan from picking up road debris. Then there is also the ventilations which direct the air downward to cool the powertrain oil. For further aerodynamic adjustment, there are two active wings on the back that can bend upward to increase downforce or flatten to reduce drag.

"What we do when the fan fires up, and we want more downforce at lower speeds, is we open the slot and spool the fan up to the maximum, and we remove all the dirty air and the boundary layers, and that means that the air has to follow the surface. It's forced to follow the surface to fill the vacuum left there," Murray said as quoted of Road & Track.

The T.50 Supercar by Gordon Murray Automotive also claimed as the most advanced aerodynamics seen on a road car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/36A8h4x)

This sophisticated active aero system is operated in various modes. The most hardcore setting is the Vmax Mode which places the duct and fan in a low-drag setting and uses the 48-volt integrated starter-generator to increase engine output to 700 horsepower (522 kilowatts). There is also a high-downforce configuration when the driver wants to stick to the road.

The T.50 supercar packs a Cosworth-built naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V12 that produces 650 hp (485 kW) and 332 pound-feet (450 Newton-meters) of torque. The powerplant can run all the way to 12,100 rpm. The output runs through a six-speed manual to the rear wheels. A carbon-fiber monocoque and body panels keep the weight down to 2,161 pounds (980 kilograms).

The T.50 supercar models being developed by the company include the road-legal and racing-purposed models. And the road-legal supercar model will be limited to 100 units. As for the racing model, only 25 units will be produced. Similar to the McLaren F1, the T.50 will be a three-seater with a central driving position to get the maximum power weight to ratio.

Although there is no exact date regarding the production schedule, currently the company only said that the T.50 will have a full debut in May 2020. While the selling price range is estimated to reach $3.14 million (approx Rp.44.1 billion) for a road-legal model. As for the racing model, it will cost $3.19 million (approx Rp.44.8 billion).

The possibility of the Miura appearance if was built back

Lamborghini Miura is one of the most beautiful and exotic cars ever made by Lamborghini in the 20th century. So it's no exaggeration if there are automotive designers who try to design Miura in a contemporary and modern look, in accordance with current conditions. Well, that's what was done by a Brazilian automotive designer named Pedro Ruperto.

A modern interpretation of 2025 Lamborghini Miura by Pedro Ruperto. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2E1rVKg)

From the rendering image, it looks like Ruperto still retains some of the original shapes and gives touches in some of its details. Like the fascia, the Miura bumper looks sharper similar to the current Lamborghini car styles. This is in contrast to the shape of the original car which looks more curved.

There are striking changes that could be seen in the shape of the headlights that originally were rounded. Only in Ruperto's hands, the design of the headlights changed completely by using the thin LEDs. Other changes are also seen by removing mirrors that were on both sides of the car's windshield.

Other changes are also seen by removing mirrors that were on both sides of the car's windshield. Now, the mirrors are replaced by a pair of cameras mounted on a shark fin-shaped parts and mounted on the front wheel arches.

Then the appearance of the side skirt also changes completely with the installation of a new model of air intakes which makes it look more aggressive. However, the front hood still shows the ventilation just like the previous version of Miura and only the models are slightly different.

As we already know that this Lamborghini Miura is a supercar that was designed by Marcello Gandini, and was produced in the period 1966-1972. The Lamborghini Miura was made in a limited number of 764 units worldwide. The following video is about one of the classic Lamborghini Miura that has ever existed.

This raging bull's supercar carried a 3,929 cc naturally aspirated mid-engine and has an ability to spew power reaching 380 horsepower @ 7,850 rpm and torque of 400 Nm @ 5,750 rpm which combined with the 5-speed manual transmission system. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PEDRO RUPERTO ON BEHANCE | GRANDTOURNATION]

The Chinese-made six-seater EV concept exceeds the Bugatti's aerodynamic factor

The development of electrification vehicles does not only revolve around environmentally friendly power circuit technologies. One of the Chinese automotive manufacturers, the GAC have also begun to consider other factors such as passenger accommodation number up to exterior aerodynamic advantages as the appeal of their cars.

GAC ENO.146 electric-powered concept car unveiled at the 2019 Guangzhou Motor Show. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2rTGoFs)

Through its debut at the 2019 Guangzhou Motor Show some time ago, the GAC presented its newest EV concept named GAC ENO.146, which at first glance looked like a futuristic sedan. There's an interesting thing, that the Chinese manufacturer's claiming was related to the passenger capacity number and exterior aerodynamic advantages of the car.

The GAC said its EV concept was designed to be able to accommodate six passengers in its cabin. This seems to deviate from the concept of sedan-type which is generally only prepared to carry four to five people.

The seating layout of the GAC ENO.146 electric-powered concept car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2rTGoFs)

The seating layout of the GAC ENO.146 basically uses two lines similar to the sedan cabin layout in general. The difference, the basic concept of the GAC adds to its passenger capacity number done by utilizing its cabin spacious space. One passenger seat faces back behind the first row, while another one is located in the third row.

This concept is offered along with the claim that the EV concept's body design produces an air resistance coefficient of 0.146. By those numbers make the ENO.146 have better aerodynamic levels than the Bugatti Chiron hypercar, with a drag coefficient of 0.35.

Rear-left side view of the GAC ENO.146 electric-powered concept car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2rTGoFs)

The unique number of the car's drag coefficient lies in the exterior appearance, which makes the GAC ENO.146 able to appear aerodynamic. It can be seen from the flat wheel cover model, the gullwing door-type design up to the rear of the vehicle has an impressively long tail. In fact, the GAC also eliminates side glass components to accommodate those car's aerodynamic figures.

Unfortunately, the GAC did not mention the exact target of its EV concept mass-produced for the Chinese market. However, as a whole has a target of placing the electrification technology on all vehicles in the coming 2025. However, its aerodynamic design and large electric motors have the potential to make the GAC ENO.146 break the speed record of the Bugatti Chiron in the future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CAR DESIGN NEWS]

Recently, the Cybertruck's capabilities were demonstrated directly through a video. The video was uploaded by Tesla boss Elon Musk on his tweeter account. In the video, the Tesla Cybertruck with the Ford F-150 known as one of the American most favorite pickups looks in a tug of war show.

Shortly, it was seen the Ford F-150 could not do anything after being forcibly pulled by the Tesla Cybertruck. So far Tesla has not revealed how much power or torque of the three electric motor configurations mounted on its Cybertruck so it can easily pull the F-150.

Later, Tesla claimed that since two days after being exhibited, the Cybertruck electric-powered pickup was recorded to have been ordered as many as 150 thousand units. And, if it's true. It seems Tesla's marketing strategy was succeeded in answering the consumer doubts for its Cybertruck pickup after reaping a lot of criticisms related to its controversial physical appearance. 

It seems that this will also reap various responses. Moreover Ford has been reacted related to the video. Will Tesla be able to survive in the face of those storms of criticism and also managed to market its Cybertruck? Let's just wait and see. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THE BARRONS | ROADSHOW | PAULTAN | THE GUARDIAN | USA TODAY]
