SomeONE Dream Let's go get closer quickly, if you want to know what is going on in the automotive world today. Since it's not every day there's a hypercar announced, even more it's rarer that we see one of those creations actually go into production.
Angelelli Superperformante D-1 designed by Angelelli Automobili intended to be one of the world's fastest hypercar candidate. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
This could be a different story which would written by Angelelli Automobili, Rome based automotive startup founded by Davide Angelelli back in 2015. As quoted of Carscoops, the Italian automotive startup trying to keep its dream alive through its best effort to build a new hypercar called the Superperformante D-1.

From what it looks like, at this point the Superperformante D-1 is nothing more than an artist and engineer's rendering images. The company's websites are filled with aspirational design images and languages but no photos or videos of actual products, parts or production facilities. Still, it's fun to see what one company thinks could be the next great hypercar. From what can be told from there, the D-1 is envisioned with four different trims that may or may not be available in the future.

Among them, the lowest claimed power output of 1,000-hp (745 kW) thanks to the combination of a petrol engine and an electric motor. The company even thinks that it can reach over 300 mph (482 kph), something it has heard many times in the past without ever having seen it. On top of the aforementioned base car is the D-1 Model S powered by a 1,250-hp hybrid setup similar to that found on the base model consisting of a twin-turbocharged V6 driving the rear wheels combined with a pair of electric motors driving the front.
Angelelli Superperformante D-1 designed by Angelelli Automobili said to be powered by a 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 1,350-hp (1,06.7 kW) to drive the rear wheels. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
The fiercest Superperformante D-1 will use a 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 1,350-hp (1,06.7 kW), and the automaker claimed that it will be able to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) in 1.9 seconds. Not bad...in numbers.
If this car was actually produced in any form, everyone would be surprised, because such a performance would surprise any brand. That kind of acceleration is now only for cars like the Rimac Nevera and the Tesla Model S Plaid. And such a top speed has only been touched by a car like the Bugatti Chiron. Keep on dreaming, not to forget give also some hopes to other had to see the dream comes true.👍 *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ANGELELLI AUTOMOBILI | CARSCOOPS ]

This unique car was designed by Kenji Mimura who is well known auto designer in Japan for Le Mans-spec 2007 Dome S102 racing cars. The car's design is said to combine various elements taken from several sports cars, such as the proportions and basic layout of the Lotus Exige, the side window design, and the door opening system from the Ferrari Enzo, plus the rear-ends from the Pagani Zonda.

Furthermore, the Supasse V is powered by a Mazda-derived 2.3-liter turbo rear-mounted engine delivering 270 hp of power, and is coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox. The packaging and overall design looks very good and it has the potential for more powerful versions or racecar derivatives.
According to the unofficial information about the Suzusho Supasse V at the car expo, that says it would go on sale in middle 2010 with a price tags in between $50,000 and $80,000.

ECO FriendlY Given the depletion of fossil fuels, making the man trying to find fuel alternatives. No exception to the world automotive industry also vying to make automotive products that use alternative fuels. When the use of pure electric energy or hybrid (combined with gasoline or diesel engines) an option taken by most automotive industry for their vehicles. Apparently there is another alternative fuels that can be combined with electric power to drive the motor vehicle, namely hydrogen.
The hydrogen-fueled Suzuki Crosscage hybrid motorcycle concept has debuted at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. (Picture from: Bikenet)
So on this occasion we will discuss hydrogenpowered hybrid vehicle. This Hydrogen-powered hybrid motorcycle is made by Suzuki and given named Suzuki Crosscage Hybrid Motorcycle concept. To make this concept motorcycle, Suzuki cooperating with the British company, Intelligent Energy, which make this a great collaboration since Intelligent Enegy has its own hydrogen generation plants.

Inteligent Energy has a portfolio that includes a range of world-class fuel cell, fuel processing, desulphurization and hydrogen generation technologies. The company's existing home hydrogen generation system means you'll be able to make your own hydrogen at home. This hybrid motorcycle first appeared on the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show along with its sibling called Suzuki Biplane Concept.

The Suzuki Crosscage Hybrid Motorcycle concept is a fuel-cell motorcycle in which a simple, compact, lightweight air-cooled fuel-cell system and a high-performance secondary battery are brought together in a way that realizes optimal power control.
A fuel-cell unit from the British specialist company such as the Intelligent Energy that delivers quick activation with low fuel consumption, and a lithium-ion battery combines safety with a low environmental burden.
The simplicity, compactness, and lightness of these technologies not only make the crosscage environment-friendly; they also helped enable sporty styling befitting the Suzuki name.
Intelligent Energy as the makers of the ENV bike, (say "en-vee") a fuel-cell and electric hybrid bike. The Crosscage concept uses Intelligent Energy’s thin-membrane-construction fuel cells and a lithium-ion battery (unlike the ENV, which uses lead-acid batteries), to "combine safety with a low environmental burden," according to the Suzuki press release.
The ENV was powered by a 6kW 48 volt motor and with energy supplied from Intelligent Energy's 1 kW hydrogen fuel cell, was capable of 50 mph (80 kph) and by the time it reached market, was forecast to be able to reach most speed limits and exceed its then range of 100 miles (160 kilometers).
The Crosscage, for all its devilish good looks, cannot be expected to perform any better than speed limits, and having no extra performance up your sleeve

Not much information is circulating about this bike, but this bike is obviously already using compressed hydrogen fuel is equivalent to 125cc petrol engine and using an automatic transmission. This motorcycle using Michellin tires with 17-inches rims. The indicator panel have been using a combination of the analog and digital.
Despite the eco-friendly copy, the bike looks performance-oriented, and the chassis is as unique as the drive system. The Crosscage's design uses large-diameter tubing and a unique center brace on each side. The front and rear wheels use single-sided swingarms, and overall there is an emphasis on light weight, which should equate to good handling, not to mention longer battery life.
Hydrogen as a cheap, readily available fuel source is many years away, so don’t look for a bike like this in showrooms soon. But as a message that Suzuki can design environmentally conscious vehicles that are still sporty and fun to ride, the Crosscage is loud and clear.
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 [24062013] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SUZUKICYCLES.ORG | NEWATLAS | JALOPNIK | TUVIE | BIKENET ]

Do you know how many variants of the Huayra have been launched by Pagani to this day? There're many, perhaps will be more variants in near future. Well, it seems that they never run out of ideas to continue to exploit these series.😁And recently the manufacturer has revealed the latest hypercar variant of the series, dubbed the Pagani Huayra NC.

Unfortunately, until now there is little information related to this hypercar. For sure the one-off Pagani Huayra NC is a private commission created in collaboration between a client and Pagani Special Projects division and is on display at the open-air celebration of Italy’s supercar prowess titled the 4th Motor Valley Fest 2022 in Moderna’s Piazza Mazzini, which coincidentally is also close to the automaker headquarters in Modena, Italy, as quoted of Hyperbeast on May 22, 2022.

Let's take a look at the exterior, here the Italian manufacturer opted to the car's exterior finishing under a combination of blue carbon fibers, and traditional grey, plus some parts painted red and white. Therefore, most of the body panels are bathed in pretty blue carbon, including the front panels, doors, rear panels, and most of the rear clamshell. While the traditional shades of gray carbon fiber can be found on the hood, side skirts, rear fascia, and taillight covers.

If we look closely, it seems that the Huayra NC is built on the basis of the Huayra BC Roadster, which can be seen from the same unique engine cover complete with large supports behind the headrests. Unlike the standard BC Roadster, however, the Huayra NC also adopts a prominent roof scoop, very similar to that found on the Huayra Imola.
The one-off Pagani Huayra NC is powered by the same AMG twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine as all other road-going Huayra models, but has been upgraded to produce up to 819 hp and 796 lb-ft (1,079 Nm) of torque. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
Then the eye-catching combination of blue, red, white and carbon fiber continues into the Huayra NC's interior. Most of the cabin is clad in royal blue Alcantara, including the seats, headrests and A-pillars. Other interior surfaces have black Alcantara with red contrast stitching, and there's also a blue carbon fiber shift knob.
The one-off Pagani Huayra NC's rear has diffuser, large-sized wings, round taillights, and four ends of the exhaust. (Picture from: MotorAuthority)

The engine is combined with a seven-speed sequential transmission system that drives the rear wheels wrapped in Pirelli Trofeo R tires.
As mentioned above, the Pagani Huayra NC is a one-off model built based on a personal commissioned from a client whose identity has not been revealed yet so the pricing and availability details unlikely not revealed. However, this hypercar is definitely more expensive than the standard Huayra is sold starts at $3.4 millions (approx Rp. 49 billions) in the US. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTORAUTHORITY | HYPERBEAST | ID.MOTOR1 | ALEXANDERMAGAZINE ]

Complete creative freedom (not bound by production requirements) allowed the design team to conceptualize what the electric-powered rides travel in the future might be looked like. Beneath the transparent surface of the car's hood, for example, there're solar cells to extend the mileage of this concept car.
This Maybach fancy off-roader concept is designed to inspire the younger generation and at the same time remember the spirit of Virgil Abloh who always fights for the status quo and re-presents the rules of aspirational design. The nature of the X-Factor as We could be seen on the Project Maybach results not only from its astonishing size (nearly six meters long), and its characteristics, but above all from its unique contrast finishing touches as well.

This two-door Maybach off-road coupe has very traditional proportions and lines with a large front end and a slightly undersized rear end. Next up is the old-school coupe high above the ground with small steel wheels and thick tires. The matte tan paint color was splashed all over the ornaments, such as skid plates, bolt-on fender flares, stone rails, to the bolster cage with roof basket.

The interior of this car looks simple, but fancy with brown genuine-leather covered on the fully reclined seats and also almost all parts inside. There is additional storage and equipment in special compartments around the cab. Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz does not reveal yet this fancy off-roder' specific specifications especially regarding its performance and range.
That's not entirely surprising, since this seems to be solely a design exercise, and don't expect to see a production model anytime soon. But it does not rule out the possibility that this special car will change its ownership status one day in future, if there are serious wealthy enthusiasts who had made an agreement with the German car maker to swap it with a certain amount of money. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MERCEDES-BENZ | ID.MOTOR1 | AUTOBLOG | HIGHNOBIETY ]
