Rolls Royce
Following its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show trapped on tape, Rolls-Royce’s 102EX electric Phantom prototype has been touring the planet so as to not simply gather vital data for engineers and also to gauge potential client respond to this sort of vehicle ever being launched by the bespoke British brand.
Having already traveled through elements of Europe and Asia, the 102EX recently made its solution to Nyc where John Voelcker, our green car expect over at Green Car Reports, had the capacity they are driving it.
After a quick 20 minutes driving Voelcker might come away by initial impressions.
What separated itself most was the truth that the 100 % battery powered Phantom drove within a manner nearly the same as how its internal combustion powered siblings would. That may be, rather silently though an effortless thrust you are likely to expect at a Rolls-Royce.
Another aspect worth mentioning became a insufficient “idle creep,” meaning parking maneuvers and stop and go traffic required constant switching relating to the accelerator and brake.

Bugatti
Few places on the planet elicit visions of specific automobiles and also Dubai elicits visions of bright, gaudy supercars. Not that there’s anything wrong with this.
It’s never really that surprising each time a supercar manufacturer–especially one called Bugatti–unveils a loud exclusive edition for the Dubai Motor Show. In fact, it would be more surprising whether it didn’t.
With the aging Veyron Grand Sport in their line right now, Bugatti is keeping a persons vision alive with special editions. For Dubai, it debuted three new Middle Eastern-market Grand Sport 16.4s.
The model that speaks the loudest may be the yellow-and-black version. The colours represent Ettore Bugatti’s favorites. The bulk of the surface is bright yellow, while using wheels and underside adding the contrasting black. Inside, yellow leather dominates, even though the car’s dashboard, leader and gearshift are covered in black, yellow-stitched leather. The center console is black carbon. This bumble-Bugatti carries a sale price of merely one.58 million euros ($2.14 million).
The second model, which we’d call probably the most interesting one, gets an all-new green carbon fiber body framed by polished aluminum. The edges, rear-view mirrors and EB logo are done up in polished aluminum. The inner continues the green-and-aluminum theme. The price for this foresty convertible is 1.74 million euros ($2.36 million). Read the rest of this entry »

Range Rover
Startech will be the next tuner in line to try to improve Range Rover Evoque. Through the looks of things, they’ve pulled rid of it.
Unveiled for the Dubai Motor Show, this Evoque looks pretty good with the body kit Startech created for it along with the monochrome effect also suits it. Well, maybe the wheels really are a bit too show offy, nevertheless the rest if it’s good.
Those ghastly wheels are of size 21-inch, while 20s and 22s can also be found. The tuner has lowered the suspension to really make it look really good, and you shouldn’t do this simply because you will ruin the quality of ride as well as car’s decent off-road capabilities. Not that any Evoque owner is going to apply it offroad.
Startech also supplies a sport exhausts system, an electric package to the car’s 2.0 liter petrol engine plus an interior full of leather and Alcantara in non colored documents.
