It seems people are going to great lengths anymore to combat the rising cost of fuel. Some have chosen to look toward the future, albeit with great expense, with a concept that may become reality sometime soon. Students at the University of Bath (in western England) recently took the wraps off a new prototype car, dubbed the CLEVER (Compact Low Emission Vehicle for Urban Transport). |

In the pack of almost two-dozen new models coming soon from Audi, will be the new A7 Coupe. Set to compete directly with a class leader, the Mercedes CLS, this 4-door coupe is perfectly sized and is aptly named the A7; its stature is larger than the A6 and lesser than the A8. Look forward to seeing more of the new A7 this fall, at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Stay tuned! Click here to visit Audi’s site |

Forced induction is a sweet concept on any car. Turbochargers fit the bill quite nicely in any application. The only way BMW found to make it better was to double the dosage for the upcoming 3 Series Twin Turbo, 2-door terror. BMW has bliss coming in two different flavors: the 230hp/200 lb-ft of torque engine will be placed in the 328i, while the 300hp/300 lb-ft of torque powerplant will find its home beneath the bonnet of the 335i. |

Zagato recently released a picture sampling of its newest car, the Ferrari 575 GTZ, which made its debut at the Villa D'Este Concours D'Elegance. The 575 was built for Yoshiyuki Hayashi, a well-known Japanese car collector, and marks the 50th Anniversary of Zagato's Ferrari 250 GTZ Berlinetta. The 575 is even adorned with the same two-tone paint theme as the 250, to help maintain family ties. Get ready for some Italian eye candy, if you want to see more ... enjoy! |

According to reputable sources, New York collector and entrepreneur James Glickenhaus has recruited Pininfarina to build a one-off Ferrari, inspired by the Ferrari P3/4 race car series of the latter 1960s. Foundation for the project started with the last produced and completely virgin 2003 Enzo. Dubbed the 612 P4/5, the prototype will be debuted at the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August of this year. Aside from the owner's bragging rights, the car is to resurrect and inject the opulent P4 style into future Ferrari models. |

Continuing to add spice to the lineup, Audi is now poised to offer a two-seat, mid-engine sports car, dubbed the R8. This Bavarian offering is believed by some to be on the road sans camouflage because of press deadlines for publications about a certain infamous French event in June, the Le Mans. Initially, the R8 was briefed as a Le Mans concept car at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Estimates to launch the R8 are for the Paris Auto show in September 2006, with first deliveries to North America sometime in 2007. Pricing is expecting to have the R8 slightly above the $100K mark, in base form. |
