AUDI TT Coupe - 2008

Awesome Audi TT Coupe was re-engineered for the current model year and represents the second generation TT edition . Although slightly larger, the second-generation TT doesn't stray too far from the timeless lines of its predecessor. The general look is the same, though character lines are crisper and the nose adopts Audi's now signature single-frame grille. Although longer and wider than the first TT, the latest version is lighter (by nearly 200 pounds in the case of the roadster) thanks to increased use of aluminum in the body structure. It also offers a more powerful four-cylinder engine.

With elegant cambers and a modest interior, the Audi TT stimulated a magnum opus at its 1998 debut. Significantly, the coupe class of VW supported to reconstruct the dominance of the magnificent architecture in automobile world today.

The TT stares on the showrooms in its chic pose, which seemed almost no words were heard relatively to comment on its self-effacing power and relaxing front-drive handling. With the advanced V6 engine, quattro - four wheel drive and convertible types, the TT stands nrivaled. However, it was beleaguered with reliability problems since its inception.

Its the all New TT part two which utterly overcomes the former's miscalculations. It is Longer, wider and more manly, the new coupe will go on sale as a 2008 model, which will be followed later by its own convertible sort. Besides this snowcapped milieu and over creamy-smooth, super-swift roads the new TT coupe captivated the crowd as never before.

The New Elegant Audi TT has been remodified with a vibrant face and extremely more-powerful engines. Will it hypnotize as the original did?

Foldable Car by MIT's

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Media Lab were engrossed in their innovation to reveal a lightweight electric vehicle that can in turn produce a break in Car owners choice. Its features are specifying cheap mass-production, flexibility, chic look and the most weird thing that they are concentrating in this research is to fold the car and stack it like grocery carts in various peak parking sites and in subway stations. hence it also could be rented by commuters under a shared-use business model.

The MIT team eventually re-engineered the lowly wheel into a kind of robotic drive system that will power the Car. Embedded in each of its four wheels will be an electric motor, steering and braking mechanisms, digital controls, and suspension, all integrated into sealed units that can be snapped on and off mainly to reduce carbon emulsion. It's called the City Car, and the key to the concept lies in the design of its wheels.

Its sleek design and extra-ordinary features creates a new alley in car manufacturing and indeed proving to be a rebellion in modern automobile technology.

BMW - A new Radical Concept Car

BMW , Our all time favorite luxury wagon just unveiled its latest design philosophy — via a radical concept car — that will sure to raise some eyebrows in the automotive industry. Touted as the "game changer" for the "development of tomorrow's mobility," the new concept centers around the GINA principle, for Geometry and Functions In "N" Adaptions. What this means is the ability for BMW to think outside the box and innovate maximum ideas with mininum amount of the usual constraints associated with car design.

The first translation of the GINA philosophy into physical being is demonstrated in the Light Visionary Model concept. The only specs that may be familiar are the car's realistic 8-cylinder powertrain package residing in a roadster built from an aluminum space-frame chassis with two double tailpies and 20-in. alloy wheels at the corners. Other than that, it is the Visionary's exterior body that will catch all of us by surprise. It is skinned by four large pieces of flexible material that can stretch and contract based on a number of substructures that can move about on the chassis with electro and electrohydraulic controls.

There are four main pieces of skin that make up the Visionary's body: The largest component starts at the front of the car and extends all the way to the base of the windscreen, then down and across the two doors, ending at the rear edge. The next two fabric-like skins begin at the front lower rocker panels, then run across the rear wheel arches to the back. The last piece of skin makes up the rear deck. The roadster's scissor-type doors open with its outer skin wrinkled in a very clearly defined pattern, but they are stretched back into a silky-smooth surface when the doors close.

The fabric that covers the Visionary's body is constructed from a waterproof and temperature-resistant mesh netting on the outer layer, supported by a flexible metal- wire structure underneath to maintain the skin's tension and smoothness. Around a few areas where curvatures of the skin are called for, carbon struts are added to allow for higher flexibility while keeping the rounded contours.

The Light Visionary Model is striking not only because of its fabric outer skin, but also its utility in form following function. Because of the flexible skin, the headlights can be hidden or exposed when necessary. The side markers to signal lane changes are not visible on the outside until they are turned on during use — their light shines though the translucent (but not transparent) cover. Airflow around the car can be managed actively as the skin can be closed, opened or stretched based on need; the rocker-panel shape can be adjusted for better aerodynamics. And because the rear deck is covered by one single piece of fabric, the spoiler can be completely hidden when it is not in use.

Chris Bangle, Head of BMW Group Design, says, "Personal customer requirements will broaden the context of our products and change the core values that define our industry along the way." That's why BMW is focused on breaking new ground and finding innovative design solutions. And by the looks of the GINA Light Visionary Model, BMW is in the forefront of ingenious automotive design.
