The BlueSport concept car by Volkswagen is aimed at whetting our appetites for the summer. Apart from a narrow and linear body, it is characterised by a mid-engine, offering room for turbocharged TDI or TSI engines. The 2-litre turbo engine gets from 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds, with a top speed of 140mph. The consumption seems remarkable with such figures and according to VW it amounts to 55mpg of diesel fuel. The CO2 emissions are appropriately low: 113 grammes per kilometre.

Volkswagen Concept Slipstream

Volkswagen Concept SlipstreamIn the year 2057, population centers have become unimaginably dense and the roadways have reached the point of total saturation. Volkswagen’s solution is an advanced autonomous vehicle that dynamically adapts to minimize its footprint in the city and its drag coefficient on the highways.When in the city, these two-wheeled, teardrop shaped pods travel in an upright orientation that occupies one fifth the size of a traditional vehicle. When on a special freeway lane called the “Slipstream,” it tilts to a horizontal orientation optimizing its aerodynamic shape. Rear fins slide out to allow the rear of the vehicle to float like the tail section of an airplane to achieve speeds in excess of 250 mph.The skin of the vehicle is made of hyper-efficient solar panels that power the vehicle.

Bugatti Veyron

"Bugatti EB 16-4 Veyron, produzido pela Bugatti,Volkswagen (VW) é sem dúvida um dos carros mais extraordinários de nosso tempo. Conta com motor Quadri Turbo W16, com inimagináveis 1001 cavalos de potência a 6000 RPM, capaz de produzir 1250 Nm (127,1 mkgf) a 2200 rpm. Diferentemente de outras transmissões, que estourariam ao enfrentar um desafio de quatro dígitos, a do Veyron foi feita para suportar 152,6 mkgf e possui 7 velocidades com a tecnologia DSG (sistema que utiliza dupla embreagem). Esse superesportivo usa tração integral nas quatro rodas, facilitando o trabalho do ESP (electronic stability program), sistema de controle de estabilidade que faz "cortes" do motor quando ocorrem perdas de tração em alguma das rodas. De acordo com a montadora, o Veyron pode fazer de 0 a 100 km/h em apenas 2,5 segundos. É o carro mais rápido e potente do mundo".
