This Spanish startup has quietly entered the hypercar scene, challenging the established players with their latest creation, the Boreas. Launched during the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017, this supercar is the brainchild of David Sancho Domingo, the visionary behind DSD Design & Motorsport. What sets them apart is not just their ambition but also the decade-long journey they undertook with various collaborators to bring the Boreas to life.

Named after the Greek mythological figure, the North Wind God, Boreas symbolizes power, speed, and boasts 12 offspring. Presently introduced as a concept car, the Boreas utilizes plug-in hybrid technology, claiming a staggering 1,000 horsepower. Impressively, the creators promise an electric-only range of approximately 96.56 km on a single charge.

Performance-wise, the Boreas doesn't disappoint. With an acceleration from 0-100 kilometers per hour in just 2.8 seconds and a maximum speed of 380 kph, it stands toe-to-toe with its more renowned counterparts. Unfortunately, specific performance details are shrouded in secrecy, adding an air of mystery to this Spanish hypercar.
Excitingly, DSD Design & Motorsport plans to unveil all the details early in 2018. Production is scheduled to commence in December 2017, with a limited run of only 12 units. While DSD Design & Motorsport may not be the first Spanish company to venture into the supercar realm – with Spania GTA being another notable player – the Boreas undoubtedly adds a new chapter to Spain's presence in the world of high-performance vehicles.

Imagine having this remarkable piece of automotive engineering parked in your garage. The Boreas not only signifies Spain's prowess in the hypercar domain but also stands as a testament to DSD Design & Motorsport's dedication to pushing boundaries. As the automotive world eagerly awaits more details, one can't help but wonder if the Boreas will redefine the landscape of hypercars. Have you ever caught a glimpse of this extraordinary supercar on the streets? The Boreas, a silent contender among giants, is a testament to Spain's growing influence in the elite world of hypercars. *** [EKA [26072017] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTORAUTHORITY | CARBUZZ | CARANDDRIVER ]

The Swiss electric supercar promises an acceleration time of less than 2.3 seconds

The electric car market continues to show rapid growth. A Swiss automotive and industrial design company called Classic Factory, said it is ready to launch its first electric car named Elextra in 2019. It was confirmed by CEO and founder of Classic Factory, Robert Palm.

He revealed that he has partnered with several other automotive companies to realize his dream to create Elextra. So far, Elextra is still a concept. And the production of Elextra’s car will be handled by an independent vehicle manufacturer based in Stuttgart, Germany. Just 100 examples are destined to be built.

“The idea behind Elextra is to combine pure lines reminding of the most exciting Italian supercars of the past, whilst being resolutely forward looking thanks to its low, sleek and beautiful design, paired with today's most advanced technology,” Palm explained.

This car plans to have four doors and the majority of body made of carbon fiber. The hood of the car looks slim. At the rear, the V-shaped wings hang with the roof and extend to the side of the car.

"This wing brings more downforce than the regular wing, but its unique shape does not block the view to the rear window. It's a supercar you can see from behind," Palm added. Elextra will be carrying two electric motors that can produce 670 horsepower of power. So that allows Elextra to accelerate from 0-100 kilometers per hour only 2.3 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.

But the company don’t have any details on the batteries used but Elextra says buyers can expect at least 595.46 km on a single charge. Of course that range will largely depend on how hard you push the car. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ELEXTRA | AUTOBLOG | FOXNEWS]

Mohawk's figure in Transformer: The Last Knight

Ruthless DECEPTICON - In the world of motorcycling, few machines exude as much character and attitude as the Confederate P51 Combat Fighter. This is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement on two wheels, a true embodiment of rebellion and power. Imagine a machine that is not only built to dominate the streets but also plays as the Mohawk, a pivotal role on the big screen, portraying the persona of a ruthless, punk-inspired Decepticon. This is exactly what the P51 Combat Fighter achieved in the 2017 blockbuster film Transformers: The Last Knight.

The Mohawk character, known for his chaotic energy and relentless drive to serve Megatron, was brought to life with the help of this striking motorcycle. Just like Mohawk, the P51 Combat Fighter is designed to stand out. It’s covered in graffiti-like details, brimming with a menacing presence that is hard to ignore. From the moment it appears on screen, it's clear that this bike was not chosen by chance. Its design, bristling with sharp edges and a fierce demeanor, mirrors Mohawk’s own wild and unpredictable nature.

Despite Mohawk's fierce loyalty to Megatron, the Decepticon leader doesn’t exactly return the favor. Perhaps it’s because Mohawk is a constant chatterbox, never able to stay silent, much like the bike’s roaring engine that announces its arrival long before it appears. But that’s just how Mohawk—and the P51 Combat Fighter—like it. The bike isn’t just loud in sound but also in style, making a statement wherever it goes.

Confederate Motorcycles, the manufacturer behind this extraordinary machine, is known globally for its exotic and luxury motorcycles. Each motorcycle they produce is a work of art, handcrafted with precision and passion by master craftsmen in Birmingham. The P51 Combat Fighter is part of their limited-edition Combat Collection, which features only 61 units. Out of these, only a handful remain available, making it not just a motorcycle, but a rare collectible.

This motorcycle isn’t just about looks, though. It’s built to perform, embodying what Confederate Motorcycles describes as "pure positive energy." This phrase encapsulates the essence of the P51 Combat Fighter—a machine that is powerful, dynamic, and ready for anything. When it was chosen to represent Mohawk in Transformers: The Last Knight, it wasn’t just for its aesthetic appeal. The bike’s aggressive performance and raw power made it the perfect fit for the role of a rebellious and fierce Decepticon.

The connection between the P51 Combat Fighter and its on-screen alter ego is not just skin deep. Both share a philosophy of pushing boundaries and defying expectations. Just as Mohawk refuses to be just another Decepticon, the P51 Combat Fighter is not just another motorcycle. It’s a blend of innovation, craftsmanship, and attitude, designed for those who dare to be different.

As the movie hit theaters worldwide, the P51 Combat Fighter captured the imagination of audiences and motorcycle enthusiasts alike. Its appearance in the film not only showcased its striking design but also cemented its place in pop culture as a symbol of unbridled power and rebellious spirit. Even off the screen, the P51 Combat Fighter continues to make waves, with only two units of this special edition left available for those lucky enough to reserve one.

In the world of motorcycles, few can claim the unique combination of cinematic fame and high-performance engineering that the Confederate P51 Combat Fighter boasts. It’s a machine that transcends the ordinary, much like the Decepticon it portrays. Whether tearing up the streets or stealing scenes on the big screen, the P51 Combat Fighter stands as a testament to what happens when craftsmanship meets creativity, resulting in a motorcycle that is truly one of a kind.

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 [24072017] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BUSINESSWIRE | 2LUXURY2 | TWFWIKI | AMINOAPPS ]
