The fact is the only way I can owned the Citroen GT will be to buy a PSP and The Grand Turismo 5:Prologue...This is the cheapest way...just like what is mentioned by the iMotor host in the first video..
Thought I share this story to everyone. I guess most of you has seen this amazing design brought to live by a Joint effort between Polyphony Digital the creator of Grand Turismo game simulation and French automaker Citroen.
How did The Joint Venture started? Well the GT by Citroen concept car was specially created and design and produced for the Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. The designer which came u with the project and sold it to both Polyphony Digital and Citroen.
The car exterior design was made by Takumi Yamamoto, a Japanese designer Jean-Pierre Ploue's style Citroen design team. According to Yamauchi, he and Yamamoto started the collaboration since 2003. Yamamoto convince Jean Pierre Ploue to submit the concept to Citroen head office in Paris who later agreed to start the production process and manufacture the real car.
There are Three versions of the car are available in game: Road version (510 horsepower), Race version (615 horsepower) and Concept version (793 horsepower, and 2495 N·m of torque). The car in the game features a fuel cell powering four electric motors delivering 780 bhp (582 kW; 791 PS), however, the real car uses a modified version of the Ford Modular V8petrol engine, producing 646 bhp.The car's weight is 1,400 kg (3,086 lb).
In June 2009, Citroën confirmed plans to produce an extremely limited number of GTs for sale to the public. Only 6 will be built, each costing $2.1 million. In July 2010, rumours that production was suspended began to surface. Although Citroen’s plans for a production version have been dropped. Citroen, instead, has decided to focus on products that will bring in more money.
The final production version was supposed to be completely inspired by the concept, including the carbon-fiber construction and eccentric interior details such as the copper trim. Under the hood there was supposed to be the V8 engine found in theFord GT.

This is an interesting concept brought to you by one of German most famous car maker Audi. They have come u with a new lighting concept that would be on their every car design in the coming future.
The used a LED lighting technology, called OLED. Yes its the same technology that is currently vastly used in our modern Television Set. LED TV or LED smart TV, and s even being used in ur all touch screen smartphone, tablet and many more.
But Audi take it to the next level by applying it to their cars. maybe is because of its efficiency in energy consumption.
ever seen the BMW 328 series? The BMW 328 is considered the most
successful and best-looking sports car of the 1930s. The BMW 328's success was
the result of its design parameters -- through the use of systematic
lightweight construction, aerodynamic lines, opti-mum engine types and outstanding
suspension technology, it laid the foundation stone for a new vehicle concept,
by which performance only leads to success if combined with perfect
harmonisation of all parameters and maximum efficiency. With these
characteristics, the BMW 328 was even then the embodiment of what the BMW brand
still stands for today -- dynamics, aesthetics and a high level of innovation.
This year, the dream sports car is celebrating its 75th
birthday. The festivities will begin near Lake Como at the Mille Miglia. There,
the main focus will be on the fascination of the BMW 328 racing car. To this
day, the award-winning vehicle BMW 328 Touring Coupé still holds the record for
the highest average speed on the Mille Miglia circuit and, in 2010, was again
able to win the historic revival of the race. A week later at the Concorso
d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, the two-seater's functional aesthetics will be the
focus of attention. In this area of conflict be-tween tradition and modernity,
the BMW Group is paying tribute to the BMW 328 on the occasion of its
anniversary with a special model -- the BMW 328 Hommage. "With the BMW 328
Hommage, we wish to pay homage to the passion and inventiveness of the fathers
of the BMW 328", explains Karl Bäumer, CEO of BMW Group Classic.
"They created an icon, which is consid-ered a milestone in the history of
the automobile." The BMW 328 Hommage translates the principles and the
character of the vehicle of that time into present times and offers a possible
interpretation of how the designers of that time, Fritz Fiedler and Rudolf
Schleicher, might have built the BMW 328 in the present day using current technology.
The new Ferrari which was introduce at the Geneva 2012 car show, is said to replace the 2007-2012 Ferrari 599 model.
This new F12 as reported by Ferrari to be far more better that the 599 model, the F12 is a front-mid engine, rear wheel drive Grand tourer.

In order to reduced fuel consumption when idling the F12 engine management system is fitted with Ferrari's HELE start-stop system.
The Chassis designed has also been improved, and is made up of 12 different aluminum alloy thus further improved it rigidity, while at the same time reduced its total weight by 70kg. The F12berlinetta uses Ferrari's third generation CCM3 carbon ceramicdisc brakes with ABS.
F12 Berlinetta transmits power through a 7-speed dual-clutch automated semi-automatic gearbox operated by the driver using 'paddles' behind the steering wheel. Compared to similar models, the F12berlinetta uses shortened gear ratios to match the power of the engine.
To further increased downforce, F12 Berlinetta has an Aero Bridge feature where an air channel running from the bonnet, through the flanks and along the sides of the vehicle, thus producing better downforce.

Major car industry player is looking into more and more idea to designed and produce a more fuel efficient car, and going more into greener technology.
What what do we have during the Geneva 2012 Motor Show, what are the best concept cars of the future according to MSN?
It has been a while since my last post... been away for quite a while, busy on something else. anyway, I found this most amazing article and out of the box design for a car. Thought I'd share it with you all...
A that most of you probably familiar with. Its the BMW... Yes meet GINA. the most creative yet bizarre idea came from BMW's engineers and designers allows its owner to change the shape of their BMW as they pleased.
the materials used in this BMW GINA is made entirely out of a specially create seamless fabric which stretched over a movable metal frame, but this design is just a concept design. so BMW lovers this is just one toys that you can not have.
Imagine if this design really made it into the market, and if anything happens to this BMW of yours imagine this will be the first words that come out from your mouth " Oh S**T my BMW just torn apart" or try this "Let's UNZIPPED my BMW and see what's inside".... hehehe..
Since this design allows driver to change the shape at will. with voice activation feature this will be the best words to use to change the shape your your BMW-GINA ..." TRANSFORMED..." how cooooool is that yeah...
Again it is an out of the box design... just watch this YouTube and be amaze what a group of designers, engineer, visionaries think out of the box..
GINA was built six years a ago and its name actually stands for "Geometric and Functions in 'N' Adaptation. According to BMW, GINA was built on the Z8 chassis and has a 4.4-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission. BMW says the fabric skin – polyurethane-coated Lycra – is resilient, durable and water resistant. It’s stretched over an aluminum frame controlled by electric and hydraulic actuators that allow the owner to change the body shape.
I cant believe my eye when I saw that there is such thing as the world tiniest cars. this cars is well I consider it as eco-friendly cars, though at one glance it's a classic, but again just for the fun of it..if you are single then this is the car to go for...
Anyway..the trend to go for smaller cars with 1 passenger might one day become popular. as the world and city population grows, cars numbers grows, small is the only efficient way to travel.
I found this videos related to the opening ceremony of Abu Dhabi Ferrari World Theme Park...my initial guess was that the VVIPs attending this ceremony must be driving with their Ferrari...Well Look what I have found...
