Bentley Motors has shown the future direction of luxury and performance with the EXP 10 Speed 6 at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. The concept is a British interpretation of a high performance two seater sportscar using modern automotive design, highly skilled handcrafting, the finest materials and advanced performance technology.
From the racing success of the company's early years to the international motorsport success of today, 'speed' is part of Bentley's DNA. This inspiration is expressed throughout the EXP 10 Speed 6, where iconic Bentley design cues are fused with progressive craftsmanship techniques and modern technologies.
Copper elements are used as accents to both exterior and interior features to highlight the performance hybrid potential of the concept's advanced new powertrain. Performance goals including top speed are set to challenge competitors and define a new segment benchmark.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors, comments: "EXP 10 Speed 6 is one vision for Bentley's future - a powerful, exquisite and individual concept. The showcar has the potential to be the new pinnacle luxury two-seat sports car. It offers thrilling, driver-oriented performance, complete with trademark modern Bentley luxury and effortlessness.
It could be a future model line, alongside the Continental GT and redefining the pinnacle of another market sector, and the styling of the EXP 10 Speed 6 could influence the expansion of the Bentley family. This is not just a new sports car concept - but the potential Bentley sports car - a bold vision for a brand with a bold future."
GM Wrote:The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro offers higher levels of performance, technology and refinement and is designed to maintain the sporty car segment leadership earned over the past years.
The Gen Six Camaro provides a faster, more nimble driving experience, enabled by an all-new, lighter architecture and a broader powertrain range. Six all-new powertrain combinations are offered, including a 2.0L Turbo, an all-new 3.6L V-6 and the LT1 6.2L V-8, which is SAE-certified at 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 455 lb-ft of torque (617 Nm) - for the most powerful Camaro SS ever. Each engine is available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.
Camaro's leaner, stiffer platform and slightly smaller dimensions are accentuated by a dramatic, sculpted exterior. Meticulously tuned in the wind tunnel, the exterior contributes to performance through reduced aerodynamic lift for better handling while enhancing efficiency.
A driver-focused interior integrates class-leading control technologies, including a new Driver Mode Selector, configurable instrument cluster and a customizable ambient lighting feature.
"Redesigning the Camaro is thrilling and challenging all at once, but the secret is to offer something more," said Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of Product Development. "For Camaro enthusiasts, it retains iconic design cues and offers even more performance. For a new generation of buyers, the 2016 Camaro incorporates our most innovative engineering ideas with finely honed performance and leading design."
-Perfect blend of the new Alfa Romeo paradigm and maximum expression of the 'meccanica delle emozioni', the new model encapsulates 105 years of style excellence and Italian technology.
-Its distinctive design expresses three quintessential features of Italian design: sense of proportions, simplicity and high quality surface finish.
-The new Alfa Romeo badge, now refreshed while preserving its legendary shape and unmistakable style, stands out in the middle of the famous front trefoil nose.
-The entire 'creation' centers around the driver and the promise of exhilarating driving experiences with sensitive steering, responsive acceleration and prompt shifting and braking.
-Rear or four-wheel drive is more than just a tribute to the most authentic roots of the Alfa Romeo legend: it is also a technical solution which guarantees high performance and astounding fun.
-State-of-the-art, innovative engines: a six-cylinder 510 HP, inspired by Ferrari technologies, the brand's new powertrain reference, will be introduced on the Quadrifoglio version.
-Performance is thrilling: from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
-Perfect weight distribution (50/50 across the two axles), sophisticated suspensions (the front is an Alfa Romeo exclusive) and the most direct steering on the market.
-Unique, exclusive technical solutions, like Torque Vectoring for outstanding stability control, Integrated Brake System for considerably reducing braking distance and Active Aero Splitter for active high-speed downforce management.
-Alfa Romeo Giulia combines extraordinary engine performance and the ample use of ultralight materials, like carbon fibre, aluminium, aluminium composite and plastic, to obtain the best weight-to-power ratio (lower than 3kg/hp).
-The model was introduced to the international press in the renovated Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, Italy ,which will reopen on June 30 for enthusiasts and researchers worldwide.
The Giulia, the top-of-the-range model sporting the legendary Quadrifoglio badge, was introduced to the international press at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, near Milan, today.
It was a special event and a celebration of Alfa Romeo's over one century of history: in fact, today the brand celebrates its 105th year of auto making, a goal which it shares with a very select club of manufacturers, which is even smaller when considering the brand's worldwide sales successes and its racing victories.
A.L.F.A. (standing for 'Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili', which translates as 'Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company' in English) was established on June 24, 1910. Today, on June 24, 2015, a new page of the brand which never ceases to surprise is being written by introducing a new model, a genuine manifesto which concentrates past, present and future and is one of the most brilliant examples of automobile excellence.
There could be no better venue for this splendid event within the event than the new Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese. The brand's 'home' will be opening its doors to the general public again on June 30. The renovated facility hosts Alfa Romeo's most famous and innovative creations. These cars have written some of the most important pages in automotive history and are, still today, sources of inspiration for young Alfa Romeo designers.
These include an elite team of engineers, designers and stylists known within FCA as the 'Skunks', a sobriquet used in industries in the USA to identify the best squads to whom the most delicate and technologically innovative missions are entrusted. Sharing a common love for Alfa Romeo and its unique concept of cars as 'mechanical creations' which transcend the realm of necessity to verge on that of the most authentic emotions and not just 'useful means of transport', the 'Skunks' have one goal: to create the Alfa Romeo of the future respecting the heritage resulting from the work and pride of thousands of people - engineers, factory workers and managers - who have taken turns in the factories, offices and on the race tracks.
When I was in high school and had a tonne of time on my hands I did a heap of "virtual tuning" and won a couple of magazine competitions.
S2000s are a great car. The motors are fantastic. Most power per litre from any NA motor of its era. I have one mate with a turbo one one and he competes with guys who have more than double the displacement.

No I never really fooled around with the photoshop tuning. Its crazy what people can do with though! I used to always have photoshopped tuned car pictures as cpu wall paper ha.
Yea like I said 2G eclipses are my favorite cars, and I still own my 99GST, but the s2000's I owned play a close second. Great handling cars and once you get up in the higher rpms they are pretty peppy. Plus its great in the summer to cruise with the top down
I have been traveling for a year now and haven't driven since I left the USA... and almost nightly I dream about driving and usually in my Eclipse. Its pretty crazy... thats really the only thing I miss about home. (That and the ease of ordering things off Amazon)
I used to like sporty and hatch cars when I was younger (at 18 y.o). Today at mid 30's I can't stand nor imagine myself driving a car that is not a black sedan.
Sportt, convertibles, big wheeled, bright colors, loud sound-system, stickers everywhere… I hate it.
When you drive a Ferrari (or Porsche, etc), I think it's about showing off and not about enjoying the car. You can't really enjoy driving in the city. To use it as a pussy magnet, you're attracting a girl you should stay away (a gold digger). You can't have sex in the car. Even a blowjob is difficult due to separation of the front seats. Those cars are not comfortable. Not even to enter due to the small height. Horrible to drive in the city's transit since all cars are taller and cover your horizon view.
Today my preferred car is the Audi A7. It's comfortable, great torque, gives a "successful executive" look, girls get wet when you arrive in their home to pick them up… You should always keep your car ultra clean outside and specially inside. Doesn't have to be an Audi, BMW or Mercedes.
A black sedan gives you the look of a successful executive. Windows should be dark tinted too for privacy. A red Ferrari gives you the look of "narcissistic douche with money". A girl shouldn't think she's smarter than you.

Thats a pretty small minded way to look at things. As a life long car enthusiast I can say when I was picking out the "big wheels" for my "sports cars" I wasn't thinking.. hmmm.. "which wheels will the girls like the most?" I chose mods then I liked and built the car the way I liked it. Did my cars get me laid? hell yea. But thats just a pleasant bonus that comes with my hobby. One of my favorite things to do was drop the top on my "convertible" and take drives through the country roads by myself with the perfect sound track playing in my "loud sound-system" and I certainly wasn't doing that to impress girls.
Just cause you like classy sedans doesn't mean you should be belittling people with different taste in cars then you.
Also your kind of a hypocrite talking about trying to get laid with sports cars but A" black sedan gives you the look of a successful executive." Who are you trying to impress with the look of being a successful executive?

Don't get defensive by my personal opinion. My critique wasn't directed at you. I used to like smaller and sporty cars. My first car had a powerful stereo and certainly helped me get pussay when I had 18. I simply can't imagine myself doing it at my age. I love the look of big wheels (18-19 inch). They look MUCH better than a stock 13 to 15 inch ones). Unfortunately big wheels make the car less comfortable (something I'm more picky).
About the hypocritical part; All girls want a good "catch" ($$$). The only difference is that girls will see you both as guys with money but one will be someone with power. Is like comparing a successful rapper with Donald Trump. A gold digger will look the rapper as the easier target to extort resources. She won't try to outsmart a guy like Trump with the usual BS.
I think the car should be a "plus" not a "means to". One thing is to pick up the girl and she sees you with a nice and classy car. Another is saying to the chick "hey girl, I'll pick you up in my Lambo".

But if you were, you should have got some of these, obviously.
If I didn't live in such a small country/car community I'd weigh in with some of my favourites, however doing so would make it too easy to identify me in real life.
Having said that, I'd definitely enjoy rolling in a rodded KRIT just to troll the general public.
I just saw this video and the editing, the music, the shots the sound of cars are astonishing. I'm surprised the guy who shot the video didn't get a million views by now.
Watching this video makes you want to buy a whole collection of these cars.
