Ferrari is working on the new model, which is to get the name Dino and to be of quite a sport character. The fact was proved by the designer Sahir Ugur who has unveiled the first sketches of the novelty.

Sahir has showed the design of the concept in the typical style of the Forumula-1 autos of that time, still with quite a lot of developments and peculiarities.

As the engine choice provides a scope for initiative, Sahir stopped on V8 with 400 hp which will be able to accelerate the car from 0 to 100 in 4 seconds and enable the max speed of 300 kmph. Besides the engine the major peculiarities will include: Formula-1-like shifting, braking system with carbon-ceramic plates, and the body made from the same material as the Formula-1 autos.

The approximate cost and the date of the release haven’t been announced yet. At the moment the project is pure fantasy only hypothetically close to the probability of being turned into reality

The Forbes magazine have made up such a great number of various lists….from “Most expensive car of the year” to ridiculous “Most Sexy Cars

And here you are - another masterpiece - a list of most attractive cars for women. The list is made up of 10 vehicles that drive girls crazy:
1. The British cute boy Aston Martin DB9 works like a real magnet for women. Even if you haven’t shaved for a few weeks and you smell awfully, driving Aston Martin DB9 will make you look a real James Bond.

2. Bentley Continental GT - 3 magic words, which are able to drive women to…God knows what! From fainting to marrying…you, of course.

3. This car is justifiably on the list. All the women are attracted to huge Cadillac Escalade. The only thing that is disappointing that there are only 7 seats inside the car.

4. Who said that women like only expensive sedans and sport cars?! It turned out that even a wagon can be a magnet for them. Of course, if it is called Dodge Magnum SRT8 and it is equipped with V8 with 425 hp.

5. The girls like when it is fast! The fact is proved by their desire for Ferrari, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti in particular.

6. If you happen to drive or own Lamborghini Gallardo, don’t forget to clean the car from adhered girls.

7. “Let’s take a ride, beauty!” - this phrase sounds more effective when you are driving Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG.

8. The word “Porsche” for a modern woman is situated somewhere between Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana. Don’t be surprised at extreme attention to you when driving delicious Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

9. The second SUV on the list is Range Rover Sport - definitely makes the driver look more masculine.

10. It sounds incredible but a “green” Toyota Prius and its driver attract women as well. But if you look deeper, if a man takes care about trees, rabbits, bears and other animals, he is so “cute”.

The British supercar Ultima GTR720 has set up a new world record, that was written into the Guinness book of records.

Being equipped with 5.7-liter Chevrolet LR06 engine with 720 hp, Ultima GTR720 has beaten the acceleration and braking record (acceleration to 100 mph and then full braking) previously set by Bugatti Veyron. The car accelerated to 100 mph in 5.3 seconds and stopped in 4.1 seconds. The total time (9.4 seconds) is by 0.1 seconds faster than those set by Bugatti.

Moreover Ultima is faster than its competitor in all the other disciplines: acceleration to 60 mph - 2.6 seconds, braking from 100 mph with full stop - 3.6 seconds. Bugatti’s figures are 2.8 and 4.2 seconds accordingly. Thus Ultima GTR720 is at the moment the official record holder among serial cars for average roads.

Ultima Sports Ltd., the creator of Ultima GTR720, is a small British company which produces not more than 100 vehicles annually. The major production of the company is vehicles for various racing series.
