‘Soopa Scoota’ concept, a bike for death defying people

This design concept is christened as ‘Soopa Scoota’ and has baffled me beyond belief as to what should I call it – a bike or a scooter? Well, I am not able to decide, so leaving the choice to you, but this fairly bare-bones design is surely gonna give the same feelings and joy that you have while zipping down an icy mountain on a sled with your head just a few inches off the ground. Designed by Liron Bobrov, the bike, from its first appearance, seems a cross between a racing motorcycle and one of those skeleton sleds you might have seen in the Winter Olympics. However, all the speed enthusiasts and daredevils out there surely need to know that it’s merely a concept and there are, woefully, almost zero possibilities if it ever be available for them to have a ride down the hill.

This is the most radical custom built in 2010. Dubbed the KCosmodrive, the bike has won top honors at every bike competition it entered. While going beyond the technical boundaries of what a custom built is, the bike has many top honors to its credit so far and another jewel was added to its crown when it won in the freestyle category of AMD Championship of Bike Building held in Germany. This radically designed low rider bike is custom built by the 5’ini of Garage65 in Pisa, Italy.

Concept cars never cease to fascinate car enthusiasts. If you claim to be a Lambo fan than this latest sports car concept creation is definitely for you. Andrei Avarvarii, a student at Milan's Scuola Politecnica di Design, with assistance from Lamborghini’s design head Filippo Perini, designed this amazing electric 2020 Lamborghini Minotauro concept.
2020 Lamborghini Minotauro concept
The duo worked to achieve three different goals:
1. Aesthetic goal – Explore soft shapes for a new Lamborghini design language,
2. Technical goal – Redefine the Lamborghini supercar as an electric vehicle and
3. Functional goal: Integrate the new vehicle in the reality of the year 2020.
Designed tasty electric sports car concept Lamborghini, uses four electric motors and power sharing 30% / 70% front to rear. 2020 Lamborghini Concept Minotauro designed by a student getting a master’s degree in Milan Scuola Politecnica in Design, Andrei Avarvarii with the help of Filippo Perini head of Lamborghini Design. Li-Tec A flat-cell batteries in the rear and front of the KERS system will provide power.
A breathtaking beauty on wheels imagined for the year 2020, it mesmerizes you with both its looks and features. The concept creation would utilize four electric motors and split the power 30%/70% front to rear while a Li-Tec flat-cell battery out back and a KERS system in the front provide the power.
The Minotauro has two asynchronous 75-horsepower (56-kW, 76-PS) electric motors at the front that provide 30% of the car’s power, and two 175-horsepower (131-kW, 177-PS) electric motors at the rear. The system runs on a Cerio Li-Tec Flatcell battery, with a Kinetic Energy Recovery System also in place.
The press release goes on to explain the bonus of no big V12 out back: The absence of a big V12 engine in the rear creates enough room for a third passenger in a central position, like the legendary Mclaren F1. While the driver’s door would be normal, the passenger side’s would be bigger to provide access to the back seat.
What is more, the absence of the powerful V-12 engine in this concept creation makes room for a third passenger. Keeping this in mind, the passenger’s door would be bigger in order to provide access to the back seat.
But what are sure to appeal to every Lambo fan are the concept’s triangular intakes/exhausts that are not just visually pleasing but serve for battery cooling and act like the tubes of a subwoofer, channeling the sound of the electric motors, placed behind them.
A hi-tech creation, the owners would also be able to upload their own track ghosts to an online community. And if a real racetrack has been / is being covered, the GPS would record car placement / track time, allowing people worldwide to challenge an owner's record.
Guess when it comes to concepts, sky is the limit for the designers.
2010 AC Sports Car Cobra MK VI
The 2010 AC Cobra MK VI is the reincarnation of the AC Cobra, which is arguably the greatest sports car icon. The new AC Cobra gets its design cues from the older model but incorporates modern technology, taking the AC Cobra to the twenty-first century. The 2010 AC Cobra MK VI has a jig-welded round-tube space-frame chassis that is fully triangulated and has a suspension that is derived from the race car.
2010 AC Cobra MK VI
The 2010 Cobra is powered by a Corvette V8 6.2-liter engine that has a horsepower of 437 bhp and 647 bhp for the GT and GTS versions respectively which enables to reach 60 mph within 3.3 seconds. It is also fitted with 4-pot Porsche brake calipers with vented discs. The 2010 Cobra’s aluminum-hybrid body, which is handmade to ensure that it endures forever, has a bigger air-conditioned cabin to guarantee comfort for taller drivers. The interior of the 2010 AC Cobra MK VI is outfitted in the top-quality leather hides and German carpets.
The AC MkVI, a faithful recreation of the ultimate sports car icon - the AC Cobra, is now being produced in Germany for sale in Europe. AC has entered into a long term strategic alliance with Gullwing GmbH in Heyda, Germany. The AC MkVI is being produced in a modern facility and AC is extremely proud of the quality of the finished product which is due to the skills of the craftsmen at the Heyda facility.
"AC is one of the most admired and respected marques in the world," stated Juergen Mohr, CEO of Gullwing GmbH. "Their sports cars ignited a passion that still burns inside enthusiasts today. For over a century, the company has built cars with superb engineering, old world craftsmanship and classic designs. We feel extremely honoured that we can now be part of the future of the brand."
Alan Lubinsky added: "There are two major new features on the AC MkVI. We are especially excited about the new aluminium-hybrid body construction on the AC MkVI. This provides the AC MkVI with a traditional aluminium finish on the bodyshell, together with a strong composite structure. In addition to this, the AC MkVI will have as standard equipment a light weight gullwing hardtop, with coupled to the standard air conditioning, will provide drivers with total all weather motoring.
The AC MkVI is an open-top sports car based on the design of the Le Mans winning AC Cobra with many of the original car's characteristics while incorporating modern technology. The cars are not imitations - they are new generation of AC Cobra incorporating relevant advanced technology. "Every year approximately 1,500 copies of the cars AC built in the 1960s are sold in America," says Alan Lubinsky.
"Why would anyone buy a replica when they can own an authentic AC roadster that is lighter and better and has been engineered and built to such demanding standards?" Weighing only about 1,025 kg, the lightweight AC MkVI GTS sports car can hit 100 kph in approximately 3.3 seconds. "The AC MkVI is wickedly addictive," says Gullwing's Juergen Mohr.
"One drive in this scorchingly fast sports car creates an adrenalin rush that will last a lifetime. The AC MkVI offers heritage, performance and timeless styling that stirs the soul." The AC chassis has been at the heart of some of the most legendary cars in history. Texan Carroll Shelby imported a number of rolling chassis from AC in the 1960s to build the legendary "Cobras" that dominated international sports car racing.
The Shelby American team inserted a performance tuned Ford V8 and gearbox into a chassis and body supplied by AC for the North American market. Since then AC has manufactured a car that has been imitated by numerous companies. AC expects to appoint a distribution network in Europe in the coming months to sell and maintain the AC MkVI.
