Introducing the new photos and sketches of conceptual crossover Renault Captur, whose premiere was held at the Geneva Motor Show.
Concept was well received by the public, and the leadership of French companies have already announced that Captur (of course, a more mundane form) will soon go into series. Read the rest of this entry »
Lamborghini Showcases Its Talents – But Not Through Motor Shows
Posted by admin in Auto Show 2011, Cars Concept, Lamborghini Showcases, Sport Cars on January 7, 2011
Sometimes a car manufacturer does not only do motor shows in order to showcase its capabilities and cars. It 
does other types of trade shows too. Lamborghini is in Paris showcasing its skills and capability in the development and application of carbon fibre at the JEC Composite Show held on the 13th to 15th April 2010. The JEC is and organization dedicated to promoting composites internationally. It supports the development of these materials by fostering knowledge transfer and exchanges between suppliers and users. To date, the JEC network connects more than 250,000 professionals worldwide from 96 different countries. Lamborghini is the Honoured Guest of the Paris JEC Composite Show, where Lamborghini’s Director of Research and Development Mr. Maurizio Reggiani held an opening address.
Lamborghini had taken up a booth displaying the latest composite material technologies that the company has developed and/or used and basically showcased the stealth fighter lookalike Lamborghini Reventón at the show.
More than 1,000 companies from all areas of the composite materials industry (especially the 
aeronautical/aviation companies) had participated at the JEC Composite Show. And you would know that product marketing is also carried out here, where CEOs of these companies (who basically can afford a Lamborghini) are present. I would be pretty confident that a few side deals of car enquiries would be entertained aside from the actual composite technology discussion going on.
Anyway, Carbon-fibre reinforced (CFRP) composite materials are becoming key factor within the high-performance automobile sector, especially since this material is extremely high stiff and very light weight. These materials allow high-precision lightweight design and construction and results in an improvement in power-to-weight ratio. This in turn delivers increased driving dynamics while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, within Lamborghini, the utilization of composite materials enables new solutions in the construction of components and, when used as a visual material, offers an extremely aesthetic look to the items utilizing it. Take a look at the Reventón as a very good example. Read the rest of this entry »
Paris Motor Show – Greenery Through Cars!
Posted by admin in Auto Show 2011, Cars Concept, Paris Motor Show, Peugeot HR1 Concept, Sport Cars on January 7, 2011
Well, as I said in the previous post that ‘Go small & green’ is the most in thing in the Paris Motor Show, 2008 or rather I should say this is the latest concept of the automakers, this motor show is unveiling a number of cars that advertises this concept. To me it seems to be that these green concept cars are mere promotion gimmicks or just ways to pacify the demand for lower emission vehicles (not to forget, obviously with lower fuel consumption levels.)
Popularizing the word ‘greenery’ that forms a part of almost every news from automotive industry, these cars are replies to issues on increasing global warming. In order to compete in the market and build up their image of being environment- conscious, almost all major automobile players are unveiling ‘their eco- friendly cars’. Read the rest of this entry »
