Wheelsandmore touched the Ferrari 458 Italy

We recently showed you what the Wheelsandmore aftermarket developers can do for the Ferrari F430. As you know, the supercar is a defunct model, being Replaced by the 458 Italian. Now, the tuner has decided to release a modification pack for the latter, Gently Touching the vehicle.

However, this audio Aggression cans be seen as a safety feature, as it warns other drivers WHO Could Be planning to enter a battle with the vehicle That Their faith would be a tragic one if They decided to do so.

It Seems like the car’s 4.5 liters V8 was pleased by the move, as the engine is now willing to offer a premium of 20 hp power, allowing the driver to play with 590 hp. The company hasn’t mentioned anything about an ECU play, but We suspect That it does offer a remap.
As for the wheels of the 458 Italian, We Could Spend many, many pages praising Their design and assets, but this wouldn’t convince Wheelsandmore to keep Them. The tuner gifted the supercar with a set of its own forged rims. The new rims come in a 20-inch size, but cans Also customers opt for 21-inch wheels. The rims use a six-spoke angular design and come wrapped in high-performance tires.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

Most concept cars lets the automotive designers imagine things running around, but landing with a successful result. BMW had an idea to do something awkward, yet astonishing by molding a car into fabric. Instead of metal and steel, the GINA Light Visionary Model has a body of fabric over the metal to lets its drivers shape it to their will.

Chris Bangle, head of the design for BMW says, “challenge existing principles and conventional processes." The BMW GINA has been built on Z8 chassis and a 4.4-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission. BMW has stated that the fabric is resistant to water and polyurethane-coated.



Drivers can easily get in and out with ease by their interior, which actually is quite fascinating. I would encourage people to get this car because it is a different trend of designs from most other cars today in the market.

2011 Lumma Design BMW X6 CLR X 650

Extra power is given to the CLR X 650 thanks to the Lumma D-Box that gives the driver a full 340 horsepower and 670 Newton meters of torque. To ensure that the vehicle will give a sportier response, a Lumma accelerator pedal power module has been added. The matt black four-pipe exhaust provides the tremendous roar that emphasizes the power of the CLR X 650.

A sportier look is found in the CLR X 650 by an improved body kit that includes the front and rear spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper and a sporty looking bonnet. The overall height of CLR X 650 has been lowered by 40 millimeters giving more stability and agile driving. The high performance tires sit on 10 x 22 inch front and 12 x 22 inch rear Lumma sports rims.

By transforming the BMW X6 into the CLR X 650, Lumma Design has set new benchmarks in performance and interior/exterior designs.

BMW M1 Homage Car

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the M1, BMW has created the M1 Homage. The design was revealed at the 2008 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este held in Cernobbio, Italy. Produced from 1978 to 1981, the M1 was BMW's first and only mid-engined street car. A total of 456 M1s were built when BMW took over the Italian firm when it undergoes financial problems.



Specifications and pricing will be revealed by the end of the year.

2008 Mazda Kazamai Concept Car

Mazda Kazamai Concept Car

The Kazamai concept further evolves Mazda’s ‘Nagare’ design language by fusing Nagare’s ‘flow’ design cues with aerodynamic proportions. The design features panel lines inspired by crosswinds in nature which evoke visual lightness. Its bold five-point grille, accentuated front wheel arches and sleek roof line, combined with large 22-inch wheels, lend it high emotional appeal.

Sporty to look at, Kazamai is meant to be spirited and fun to drive, with compact dimensions. Kazamai’s four-wheel drive powertrain will consist of a next-generation direct injection engine and a newly developed transmission. It is also aerodynamic, with an evolved lightweight body structure and enhanced the vehicle safety attributes. Were it to be built, Mazda’s latest show car would deliver exciting driving dynamics, frugal fuel consumption and greatly reduced CO2 emissions.

The Mazda Kazamai promises to be another ground-breaking show car from Mazda Design, winner of this year’s Grand Prix du Design in Paris. Created especially for the Moscow International Automobile Salon, it gives a good indication of where Mazda is going with a possible future compact crossover. And in Russia’s growing automotive market, compact SUVs are the second-largest segment, representing about 13 percent of all new car sales.

Mazda Kazamai Concept Car

Advanced Safety and Security Features

Mazda Kazamai is not only lightweight, fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive, it is also designed with safety as a key element. Its advanced body shell is a product of a new body structure programme currently being refined at Mazda with a lightweight structure that provides high levels of crash safety. Mazda Kazamai also has a long list of active safety features including roll stability control, blind-spot monitoring to assist lane change, a pre-crash safety system and advanced dynamic stability control (DSC). And to meet future pedestrian safety requirements, it has soft plastic fenders and a shock-cone aluminium bonnet that is very efficient in absorbing impact energy.

Also onboard the Mazda Kazamai is a personal security system. This advanced system monitors the area around and inside the car, and has an automatic alert system which informs the driver in the event of an emergency to help to protect both the owner and occupants.

Next-Generation Powertrain – 30 Percent Improvement in Fuel Consumption

The ideal powertrain match for the Mazda Kazamai Concept would be the next-generation 2.0-litre direct-injection petrol engine, which Mazda engineers are currently developing. This engine delivers a balance of sporty driving – especially in a compact car like the Mazda Kazamai – with good environmental performance. Mazda Kazamai will feature a DISI engine based on the current Mazda CX-7′s engine, with advanced technologies to minimise energy loss and vastly improved thermal efficiency. Mazda’s next generation 2.0-litre DISI petrol engine also has combustion control technology and variable valve control that deliver strong torque throughout the rev-range for excellent engine response as well as superior fuel economy. A next-generation catalyst also ensures superior emissions performance.

This engine is coupled to a lightweight, next-generation compact six-speed automatic transmission that is highly responsive and delivers the direct feel of a manual transmission, and with four-wheel drive for superior traction. In combination with Mazda Kazamai’s next-generation aerodynamics and its lightweight body outlined above, this powertrain would deliver an estimated 30 percent improvement in fuel consumption and emissions (versus the current MZR 2.0-litre petrol) – without compromising driving pleasure.

Interior – SUV Functionality with Driving Safety

Mazda Kazamai is not only a pure expression of speed and power, it also accommodates up to four passengers with compact SUV comfort and functionality. It was designed to fulfil many driver and vehicle interfaces so as to support the driver in enjoying safe and stress-free driving, with a well considered man/machine relationship, good visibility and an easy to operate cockpit. This is one of Mazda’s important areas of the Sustainable Zoom-Zoom plan.

Lightweight and Aerodynamic

Weight reduction and superior aerodynamic performance are core technologies to improve both driving pleasure and environmental performance, especially improving fuel economy. Mazda will further focus on these crucial factors in order to achieve the goals of the Sustainable Zoom-Zoom plan. Despite its powerful exterior look, the Mazda Kazamai Concept’s excellent aerodynamic performance is achieved through a flat floor panel, a rear diffuser, and a low roof line. The aim was to make the Mazda Kazamai’s aerodynamics more than 10% better than other vehicles in its class.

When Mazda set about reducing the bodyweight, they leveraged CAE applications and focused on four major areas: collision safety, handling, NVH, and strength. At the same time, lightweight materials and new processing/joining technologies were put to effective use. Aluminium or aluminium-alloy is used for the bonnet, chassis and engine block. The designers aimed to make Mazda Kazamai 100 kilograms lighter than similar models by employing plastics for the panels, fenders and the engine cover. These features also contribute to advanced handling and improved fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

Mazda Kazamai Concept Car

The innovative body design features flared fenders that emphasise SUV-like strength and a cabin befitting a sports car. The wedge-shaped profile was designed to evoke the image of a sleek arrow cutting through a mighty wind. In particular, the body design between the front wheel arches and the roof pillars is intended to express the agility and dynamism of wind gusting along the side of the vehicle. The panel lines on the sides represent swift and elegant crosswinds, further accentuating the dynamic and stylish body design. The bonnet itself is lower in the centre than at the sides, which emphasises the car’s powerful front fenders that accommodate large, 22-inch diameter wheels with 265/45 R22 tyres.

The alloy wheel design continues the crosswinds motif with each spoke carefully twisted and larger at the perimeter than in the centre, providing a strong sense of movement. The five-point Mazda grille is integrated into the body to create a clean and light image which, together with the flared front lower sides, contributes to excellent aerodynamic characteristics. The aerodynamics are further improved by making the air intakes as small as possible. The side sill panels and rear combination light covers also help to control the wind flow and reduce drag even further.

Mazda Kazamai Concept Car

Mazda Kazamai is an impressive combination of packaging requirements and design aesthetics. With a width of 1,930mm and a length of 4,520mm, it is slightly larger than the current Mazda3, with room for SUV comfort and functionality on the inside. Yet, because it is only 1,500mm high, has a flat roofline and very short rear overhangs, it also has a sporty coupe look with the promise of driving fun.
2008 Mazda Kazamai Concept news, pictures, and information
Mazda Kazamai means ‘swirling crosswinds’ in Japanese, and was chosen to express the powerful yet nimble character of this stylish and compact crossover. Mazda Kazamai Concept is dynamic and athletic looking on the outside and displays an evolved Mazda Nagare ‘flow’ design. Unlike previous concept cars, Mazda Kazamai’s styling represents powerful natural movements that are emotionally expressed through three-dimensional motifs stretching over the whole body, representing a fusion of design and functionality.

BMW Mille Miglia Coupe Cars

Concept Cars: BMW Mille Miglia Coupe

Make	BMW
Model	Mille Miglia coupe
Concept year	2006
Production year	-
Engine	3.2 litre straight 6 cyl

The Mille Miglia concept coupe from BMW was created to commemorate the BMW 328 touring coupe which won the 1,000 mile Mille Miglia race in 1940. In the process setting an as-yet unbroken record for the highest average speed, 166.7 km/h (103.5 mph).

The Mille Miglia is an annual historic race which was first run in 1927, but after a horrific crash in 1957 the race was suspended. In 1977 it was resurrected as a race for classic sportscars. Only models which competed in the original event are allowed to enter the Brecia to Rome and back again marathon race.

The 2006 Mille Miglia concept coupe was never intended to race, but it did feature at the 2006 race where it was unveiled. Built to pay respect to the winning BMW 328 Touring coupe, its drivers, and the engineers who created it, the Mille Miglia concept coupe shares similar lines to the original car but translated into BMW's contemporary style.

Powered by the same drivetrain as the BMW Z4 M coupe, the Mille Miglia concept has thoroughly modern underpinnings. However the design process that created the concept were based on traditional methods. Using clay and plaster 3d models instead of computer generated images.

The bodywork of the Mille Miglia concept coupe is made from carbon fibre reinforced plastic, and its classic flowing lines hide some of the interesting shapes found on the BMW Z4.

The asymmetrical LED taillight cuts down from the top of the rear window and curls under the rear of the coupe. BMW say that this unusual layout increases visibility for following vehicles, but in reality it would probably confuse many drivers. Interesting feature nonetheless.

The 2006 BMW Mille Miglia concept coupe is longer, wider and slightly lower than the Z4 it is based on, but the 20 inch old-fashioned wheels are still quite prominent.

Entry to the Mille Miglia is via the rear-hinged canopy. The entire structure, windows and all, lifts up and allows the driver and passenger to climb in, where they are protected by an overhead X-frame roll cage.

Inside the concept three main materials are used. Stainless steel, un-dyed natural leather, and Lycra fabric. BMW's designers have used simple stitching to connect the fabrics and kept out any unnecessary decoration to maintain a functional race-inspired interior.

2007 BMW Z8 CARS

The combat role of the Z8 in BMW’s final Bond appearance is abbreviated in comparison to the 750i’s epic fight sequence, but the roadster receives considerable screen time throughout the film. During a dockside battle with buzzsaw equipped helicopters, Bond remotely instructs the Z8 to destroy one of the aircraft with a surface-to-air missile. The second helicopter subsequently bisects the Z8 with a saw attack, but Bond is able to outwit the pilot and prevail. Bond’s Z8 is loaded with several Q refinements including the aforementioned SAMs, a key chain that can control the car remotely, and as R proudly points out, six cup holders. Mercifully, as the car was not ready for production stage at the time, a real BMW Z8 never appeared in the film. All Z8s used in in the production of “The World is Not Enough” were fascimilies built on Shelby Cobra kit car frames.

The Z8 made its broadcast television debut during NBC’s coverage of the 1999 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. A silver Z8 was driven at slow speed over the parade route in order to promote both the new model and the corresponding James Bond film. Willard Scott and Katie Couric discussed the Z8′s performance, price, exclusivity, and Bond connection while the camera captured close shots of the car.

The BMW Z8 is also featured in a number of racing video games and was used as a pace car for the 2000 FIM Motorcycling Grand Prix.

The Z8 is the production variant of the 1997 Z07 concept car, which was designed by Henrik Fisker at BMW’s Designworks in Southern California. The Z07 originally was designed as a styling exercise intended to evoke and celebrate the 1956-’59 BMW 507. The Z07 caused a sensation at the ’97 Tokyo Auto Show. The overwhelming popularity of the concept spurred BMW’s decision to produce a limited production model called the Z8. 5,703 Z8s were built, approximately half of which were exported to the USA.

The Z8 was the first production car to feature neon exterior lighting. The tail lights and turn indicators are powered by neon tubes that offer quicker activation than standard lightbulbs and are expected to last for the life of the vehicle. Every Z8 was shipped with a color matching metal hardtop with rear defroster. Unlike many accessory hardtops, which are provided for practical, not stylistic considerations, the Z8 hardtop was designed from the outset to complement the lines of the roadster. With the hardtop in place, the Z8 becomes a handsome coupe. In order to keep the interior uncluttered, a number of convenience functions were integrated into multifunction controls. For example, the power windows and mirrors are controlled by a single instrument. The design goal of an unadulterated performance driving experience is served by a center mounted instrument cluster that cants slightly toward the driver. The displacement of these gauges to the middle of the dash is intended to offer an unimpeded view of the hood and the road ahead.
In order to promote the Z8 to collectors and reinforce media speculation about the Z8′s “instant classic” potential, BMW made the promise- unprecedented in the auto industry- that a 50 year stockpile of spare parts would be maintained in order to support the Z8 fleet. Due to the limited volume of Z8 production, all elements of the car were constructed or finished by hand, thereby compounding the importance of ongoing manufacturer support for the type. The price point and unique production process allowed BMW to offer custom options to interested buyers. A number of Z8s with nonstandard paint and interior treatments were produced over the course of the four year production run.

For 2003, the final model year, the Z8 model was augmented by the Alpina V8 Roadster. The Alpina was a departure from the hard-edged sporting focus of the original car, and elements of the new grand touring intent were in evidence throughout this final edition. Instead of the original six speed manual and 4.9 liter (S62) engine featured in earlier Z8′s, the Alpina came only as an automatic, using a 5-speed BMW Steptronic transmission allied to an upgraded 4.8L Alpina-tuned V8 motor from the BMW X5 SUV. In order to complete the car’s transition from sportscar to boulevardier, relaxed suspension tuning was used. The standard Z8′s run-flat tires and 18 inch wheels were discarded in favor of conventional tires with softer sidewalls and 20 inch wheels. A new and softer grade of Nappa leather replaced the Z8′s less supple specification, and special Alpina gauges are featured on the dash cluster. An Alpina steering wheel with three solid spokes replaced the original, which could not be retrofitted with shift paddles for the automatic. Gear selection is displayed in an Alpina-specific display mounted in front of the wheel.

The $128,000 car had an all aluminum chassis and body and used a 4.9 L (4941 cc) 32 valve V8, which propelled the vehicle with 400 hp (294 kW) and 500 Nm (363 lb-ft.). This engine was built by the BMW Motorsport subsidiary and was shared with the E39 M5. The engine is located behind the front axle in order to provide the car with 50/50 weight distribution. The factory claimed a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.5 mph) time of 4.7 seconds. Motor Trend magazine achieved 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Road and Track measured the car’s lateral grip at an outstanding .92. Car and Driver magazine also tested the car and found that it outperformed the benchmark Ferrari 360 Modena in the main three performance categories: acceleration, handling and braking. Like most BMW products, the top speed is electronically limited to 155mph, but magazines have achieved over 160 by “bouncing” the car against its fuel cutoff.
The BMW Z8 is a roadster supercar produced by German automaker BMW from 2000 to 2003. It was given the E52 BMW model code.
