Design Mustang Car with full body carFriday, November 27, 2009


One of my favorite option ever. On any car.
This makes the Mustang feel like one of these future cars from the 60's.
And it looks great with the new design.

Designed by Saleen engineers, the S7's engine and drivetrain incorporate the latest in modern racing technology. The new all-aluminum V8 engine casting was engineered and tooled by Saleen to displace seven liters. Redline is 6500 rpm. Space age materials and engineering are used throughout, including stainless steel valves, titanium retainers, beryllium exhaust valve seats, an aluminum throttle body, Saleen designed aluminum CNC-machined cylinder heads and stainless steel exhaust system. An exclusive Saleen-designed Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system results in an extremely compact engine, allowing for better packaging and overall weight distribution. The V8 incorporates a unique Saleen-designed side-mounted water pump, a belt-driven camshaft drive and a Saleen-engineered dry sump oil delivery system. The engine's mid-chassis placement optimizes weight distribution and center of gravity, making room for an unusually tall engine that allows for a very efficient induction system. Air enters a roof intake, passes through a 90-mm mass air meter and feeds into a carbon fiber plenum. From the plenum the air is routed to the twin ball bearing turbos, is pressurized to 5.5 psi max and then passes through an oval-bore throttle body into an aluminum intake manifold with eight individual runners.

This is the new Audi A4. After the R8 it’s understated, but also looks well in white.
This is the Audi TT Roadster with modifications by Abt Sportsline.
This is the Audi Q7 V12 TDI concept. Are you bored of black 4×4’s? I know I am so its refreshing to see one in white.
Last of the Audi’s is the small but perfectly formed S3.

Bentley Continental GT.
BMW M3 in Alpine White. Gorgeous.
OK so not quite white but doesn’t this Ferrari F430 Spider look good in ivory?

The Mercedes ML Edition 10, due out early 2008.
I struggled to get a picture of the new Mercedes C Class in Sport trim in white but hopefully you can see from the image below how good it looks.
Even the humble Volkswagen Polo GTI suits a white coat of paint.
And the Polo’s big brother, the Golf GTI.
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. I saw one of these in Vegas earlier this year (in a shopping mall) and it just looked fantastic in white.
Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace Edition. Wow!
BMW 1 series. I didn’t like these at first but they’ve really grown on me now.
