As we all know that previously Aston Martis has released a teaser from their new hypercar. The teaser in the form of a silhouette of a sedan is a car that Aston Martin calls Project 003. The British premium auto manufacturer says that this is not an ordinary sedan, but this Project 003 is a hypercar. And this hypercar is known to be equipped with a hybrid engine, the turbocharged gasoline engine and an electric engine.

Even so, the detailed specifications have not been opened by Aston Martin, but it's still a teaser. What is clear, the Aston Martin Project 003 is the successor of Aston Martin Project 001 namely Valkyrie, and Project 002 aka Valkyrie AMR Pro. Because it is the next generation of Valkyrie, it doesn't seem too much if you hope this Project 003 engine will be more powerful. 

And just for information, Valkyrie AMR Pro itself uses a hybrid engine, with a V12 engine with a capacity of 6,500 cc that can produce power up to 1,100 hp.

And at one of the world famous auto shows, the Geneva Motor Show 2019, Aston Martin presents a surprise by showing the figure of this newest hypercar. This reflects a significant step by Gaydon to show the line of vehicles at the prestigious auto expo in the world. The 003 will join the next generation of Aston Martin Vanquish concept as a two-pronged attack of these British supercar company. Both Astons are powered by a new self-developed V6. Yes, that's right: Aston Martin will start producing its own engines again - for the first time since the turn of the millennium.

"It has always been the goal of the Aston Martin Valkyrie to be a once-in-a-lifetime project," said Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer. 'However, it is also important to us that Valkyrie will create an inheritance: direct descendants who will also set new standards within their own territory from the hypercar market, creating lineages from very specialized and limited production machinery that can exist in parallel with the Model the production of the Aston Martin series.

'I'm thrilled to announce that this car is the Project ‘003’, and our next step into a dynamic and exacting arena.' This is structured as the next chapter in the Valkyrie story. Most of the technology has been reduced from the maximum Aston and company relationships with F1 designer Adrian Newey, but being used here in the daily hypercar is more useful.

The LMP1-style door cuts the roof, making access easier. This is a full carbonfibre monocoque and 003 bodywork is composite as well, while the suspension is with an active system to meet road or track use.

There are no statistics or performance specifications available, but we know V6 will be combined in this application. Reportedly also this supercar will be delivered to its interested consumer around the upcoming 2021. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CAR MAGAZINE | AUTOBLOG]

This car is named Bugatti La Voiture Noir which successfully became a Bugatti star at one of the biggest automotive exhibitions in the world. La Voiture Noir is French which means 'The Black Car,' it turns out to have a price tag of around US. $12.5 million, equivalent to Rp.176.5 billion (off the road). If prices are combined with taxes, the total price will reach US. $18.9 million or equivalent to Rp.267 billion. Wow ...!

The concept of presenting La Voiture Noir originated from the intention of the French premium auto manufacturer to reminisce with one of their legendary Bugatti car of the 30s, namely Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic or known as the Bugatti Atlantic Coupe. Well, this reincarnation moment also coincides with the celebration of 110 years of Bugatti's existence in the world automotive industry.

The car's powertrain is using the same engine as the Bugatti Chiron Sport considering that it still uses the same base. Yes, it's still relying on a 816 cc W16 configured drive mechanics that can strike the power of 1,499 horsepower and 1,599 Nm of torque.

Since this is a special car, there are some differences between La Voiture Noir and Chiron. Starting from the side of La Voiture Noir, it does not seem to have the shape of a C-type door that is a characteristic of Bugatti cars. The difference also lies in the front and rear of the car, where on the back of La Voiture Noir has six exhaust pipes, just like its grandfather the Atlantic Coupe which also has six exhaust pipes. 

For those of you who are interested in this car and feel enough money to have it, but you probably have to bite your fingers and be patient. Because this car has reportedly been owned, and has become a collection of former Volkswagen boss, Ferdinand Piech.

While the status of La Voiture Noir as the most expensive car on earth might still be debated by many among the world's automotive lovers. Considering last year, the rival British premium automotive company Rolls-Royce released the latest variant called Rolls-Royce Sweptail which is priced at a price of US. $13 million. So which car is entitled to the status of the most expensive car in the world? *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOCAR]

The most powered electric supercars from Italy

If a decade ago, the majority of people might find it difficult to imagine that electric cars could compete with gasoline-powered supercars. But now, you might have heard about the Rimac C Two or the Audi PB18 e-tron. And at the beginning of 2018, an Italian auto design company whose services have long been used by Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Maserati had revealed plans to start working on an extraordinary electric supercar.

Pininfarina Battista has been debuted at the Geneva Motor Show 2019. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2ThuMcn)

Yes, at that time, those future supercar creation was introduced with the codename PF0 (or PF-Zero). And at the end of 2018, Automobili Pininfarina announced its official name ie Pininfarina Battista.

Those name was inspired by the company founder, Battista 'Pinin' Farina. "Battista is a future hypercar, inspired by past legends" said Michael Perschke, executive director of Automobili Pininfarina as reported by Euronews.

And recently, those Italian auto design company launched the Pininfarina Battista electric car at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show exhibition which took place in early March. And Pininfarina Battista is also claimed to be one of the fastest cars in the world, even when compared to today conventional combustion engined supercars. This is certainly not surprising because Pininfarina Battista is noted to have a maximum speed above 350 kilometers per hour.

Pininfarina Battista is powered by four electric motors (one for each wheel), producing a combined output of 1,900 hp and 2,300 Nm of torque. (Picture from: https://cnb.cx/2H4focx)

Pininfarina Battista is reinforced with 4 remarkable electric motors that distribute the power independently and directly to all wheels with the ability to torque vectoring, so as to be capable of spraying about 1,900 hp of power and torque of 2,300 Nm. These numbers turns out to be two times greater than the engine power of this year's F1 racing car. And also on this Pininfarina super car has a T-shaped battery, which is located in the middle of the car and stretches to the back of the driver's seat that functions to store electric power.

Those powertrain made by a Croatian company named Supercar Rimac was then tied intact on a carbon fiber monocoque, which is supported by carbon fiber body panel and equipped with aluminum in front and a crash structure at rear. The design was created as a tribute to the past Pininfarina design models such as Cisitalia 202, Ferrari Dino Bernelitta Speciale, Ferrari Modulo and the Sintesi concept car which became the flagship car of his day.

Pininfarina claims Battista can accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 300 kph in under 12 seconds. The speed of 100 kph can be reached in less than two seconds. Besides that the company stated that in one single battery charging, Battista was able to explore more than 450 kilometers. Uniquely, Battista will use five different drive modes, so that it can produce quite different car sounds. Indeed not surprising, this car was deliberately designed to be an electric car with super specifications as a serious contender for the Bugatti Chiron.

Then in addition to the powertrain and lightweight body, what are the other components that support Battista so that it can drive fast on the road? Yes, with the use of Pirelli tires combined with 21-inch alloy wheels. Then by using the braking system with a six pinston caliper made from 15.4-inch carbon ceramic. There is also an active rear wing that functions as an air brake.

In the interior, there are two special sporty benches, embellished with anodized aluminum trims, genuine leather layered and optional carbon fiber material. A variety of interesting features to captivate the hearts of the world's super car enthusiasts. With this fairly personal design, that makes no similar car made by Pininfarina in Cambiano Italy.

The plan is that Pininfarina Battista will go on sale in 2020 with only 150 units will be produced and sold at a price estimated at between US $ 2 million and US $ 2.5 million. A total of 50 cars are allocated to the United States, 50 to Europe and 50 to the Middle East and Asia. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CAR MAGAZINE | AUTOEXPRESS]
