Lotus launches new Europa S

Lotus Cars announced today the launch of the new Lotus Europa S, a GT model positioned above the more spartan Elise and Exige models.

In resurrecting the Europa nameplate, Lotus remained faithful to the original's lightweight performance philosophy, bringing the new Europa in at less than 2200 lb through extensive use of composites and an extruded and bonded aluminum chassis.

In keeping with Lotus' "Business Class" theme for the new Europa, the car is more sophisticated and understated than the more in-your-face styling of the Elise. Fortunately, the higher level of sophistication is accomplished without sacrificing the kind of performance we've come to expect from Lotus - 0-60 mph in about 5.5 seconds and 0-100 in around 14 seconds.

An Alien car, China designed Buick Riviera concept in silver

Buick unveiled its new Riviera concept today at the Shanghai Auto Show, a futuristic looking vehicle designed with input from both General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). The concept was penned by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in China and is said to showcase Buick’s new global design direction for its future mid-size luxury cars.

Some of its key features include the tightly stretched carbon fiber body panels, gullwing doors and Buick’s trademark waterfall grille. Other highlights include the elongated LED headlamps and chrome portholes on the fenders plus the 21in 10-spoke forged aluminum wheels.

Powering the Riviera concept is a new hybrid system that will go into production at Shanghai GM, the new joint venture between the American and Chinese carmakers. Inside, occupants are treated to a Royal blue Alcantara cabin with white leather used for the doors, console and seats. Some Chinese influences include the yuanbao, a small curvaceous gold or silver ingot used in ancient China as currency and popular today as a symbol of ancient Chinese prosperity.

It has good interior inside and elegant shape outside. It is designed for racing. You will feel the real car and your friends will be amazed!
