ACB: Rauh Welt

RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF : Shinji’s RWB 964 from Luke Huxham on Vimeo.

Last time, ACB featured the new 911, so it is only natural to bring you a video featuring an old one. For those unfamiliar with Rauh Welt, they are a Japanese tuning company that turns ordinary 911s into something that crawled out Tim Burton’s nightmares. Bear in mind, these cars aren’t trailer queens either. Many see daily driving duty and heavy track use. Enjoy.

New Ford Evos Concept

This is the new Ford Evos concept that they will be debuting at Frankfurt soon. It is powered by a hybrid powertrain and has four seats. Now that the boring details are out of the way, lets talk about the Evos’ real party piece: its looks.

Good God it is beautiful. A natural progression from their “kinetic” design language, this new look smashes the cliches that have abounded recent car design. For instance, the headlights are slim and svelte (not bulging monstrosities that look better on cartoons than cars), the grill is not obscene in size, and there are curves in the place of slashes and edges. Luckily, we don’t have to wait long to see its influence. The first model to receive these styling clues will be revealed in four months.

But seriously Ford, if you want to win hearts, shrink the car up, keep it rear wheel drive, and give it an Ecoboost four cylinder. Mustang who?

Look for the debut in Frankfurt for this stunner soon

Taking it to the Streets

Indycar just released a virtual lap of the Baltimore, MD city track. The track promises to be a screamer with racers reaching nearly 180mph on the back straight. Not to mention, unlike a closed course track, this city course has no runoff area. Place a wheel incorrectly and be prepared to become best friends with a wall.

This is just the type of racing Indycar needs, a race that brings the action to the people. With shrinking attendance and viewership numbers, it would be awesome to see more road races on actual roads like this one.

Make sure to check out the race September 4th.

2011 Car Review: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4

Joe Gustafson reviews the 2011 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 for Bullz-Eye.com. Read what he has to say about this impressive ride below.

Lamborghini is a company founded on a grudge. The founder, Ferrucio Lamborghini, set out to build a more reliable, comfortable supercar after being insulted by Enzo Ferrari while trying to have his Ferrari 250GT serviced. Nearly 50 years later, his company has released what may be the ultimate expression of his original vision: the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The Aventador LP700-4 communicates Ferrucio’s vision of a reliable, exciting supercar built for the road while rekindling the traditions of previous Lamborghinis.

Exterior
Lamborghinis have been about style as much as they are about speed. The Miura was the first Lamborghini supercar. In fact, many believe it was the first “supercar” period. Designed by Bertone, it began the wedge-shape trend of later Lamborghinis. However, Lambo became too avant-garde with such models as the Countach, softened to the point of blandness by the Diablo, and too tacky with the Murcielago. The Aventador, however, continues the tradition of the wedge-shaped Lamborghini, but brings that shape back to a more organic form, as seen in the Miura, rather than the purely geometrical ones seen on the Countach, Diablo and Murcielago.

Even though the Aventador references the style of the Miura, it is still connected to recent Lamborghinis with a few key geometric elements. In Lamborghini tradition, the Aventador is a long, low, and wide car, a land-going ICBM missile. The front features elements of the Murcielago, but the edges are softened in places like the fender and grill openings. The headlights have also been toned down to give the car a more mature look that still manages to look intimidating. Also, like the Countach, the sides of the car feature prominent air intakes, and like the limited production Reventon, the back end scowls at you through narrow taillights and large grilles. The overall effect is the first traditionally beautiful Lamborghini since the Mura, but is still aggressive in appearance. It may be the first gentleman’s Lamborghini ever – Ed Hardy aficionados.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Special Edition Review

A staff member breaks down the 2011 Mazda MX-5 Special Edition in his latest car review for Bullz-Eye.com.

The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Special Edition PRHT (power retractable hardtop) is a great looking car, whether you’re inside the cockpit or watching her drive by. Our sparkling black mica test model was as much fun as we could handle in this pleasant, late-summer midwest weather.

Exterior
Mazda rolled out this special edition with just 750 copies being produced for the 2011 model year. The exterior has an upscale sporty look that boasts 17-inch alloy wheels with 205/45R17 high performance tires, body-colored front and rear bumpers, dual power remote door mirrors, aluminum hood, dual exhaust silver outlets and body \-colored power retractable hard top. Other notable exterior features include a chrome grille, Xenon headlights, glass rear window with defogger, silver seatback bar trim, fog lights and chrome outer door handles and front headlamp bezels. The retractable hard top gives the MX-5 Special Edition a stronger and more complete look that makes it stand out from rag top models.
