Penned by British auto designer, Steve Everitt, the  Venom GT would incorporate Hennessey's potent Venom 1000 Twin Turbo  Viper V10 powerplant into a light weight mid-engine chassis weighing  "under 2,700 lbs". Power would be run through a 6-speed transmission or  optional sequential gearbox. With a power to weight ratio of just 2.7  lbs per bhp Hennessey estimates that the Venom GT could attain 0 to 100  km/h times in less than 2.5 sec. and a 0-300 km/h time of around 14  seconds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHiddSAaAGERYPGTwJILXQUPr2YlqCb-CazAiBL7g4X6fG5E6QszNEhDnNMY7QMHqVrTUlepalOWLefKj67BoVEN-vpIzjR29VhyphenhyphenUWCj3T5eYiKCJsxVZQIeJ2jI-mzf4sWTLgKHS_9CI/s400/2010-Hennessey-Venom-GT-Super-Car-5.gif" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHiddSAaAGERYPGTwJILXQUPr2YlqCb-CazAiBL7g4X6fG5E6QszNEhDnNMY7QMHqVrTUlepalOWLefKj67BoVEN-vpIzjR29VhyphenhyphenUWCj3T5eYiKCJsxVZQIeJ2jI-mzf4sWTLgKHS_9CI/s400/2010-Hennessey-Venom-GT-Super-Car-5.gif" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Venom GT Hennessey Supercar</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The  Hennessey Venom GT weights less than 2,400 lbs (1,071 Kg) and to stop  the Venom GT, Hennessey added Brembo brakes with 6-piston calipers up  front and 4-piston calipers in rear clamping down on 15-inch carbon  ceramic rotors. Hennessey plans on building 10 units of the Venom GT  annually and four have already been sold at around $600,000 a pop.

Today the Hennessey Venom GT promises to set a  new standard of power to weight ratio in the rarefied air of today's<b> supercar</b> market.”</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0xHqmFYBgAMyD7mUY7B_nEEk62ynZsPrjkhOIfrzxJclOKqd_NKZB_GIUM8l1W3VTh8R8hswLViV2WPaR4Pi_Vf7161ygFTeMzrMyDh2ij037ec5CsUx_1AFne-stIRZTVcl7TOmMxIU/s400/2010-Hennessey-Venom-GT-Super-Car-6.gif" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Venom GT Hennessey Supercar</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In  the case of the Venom GT, less weight means more performance. The Venom  GT will have a production curb weight of less than 2,400 lbs (1,071  kilos) aided by its lightweight carbon fiber bodywork and carbon fiber  wheels. Stopping power is delivered via Brembo brakes with 6-piston  calipers up front and 4-piston calipers in rear clamping down on 15-inch  carbon ceramic rotors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5R4Les0418Ks_n1VtngCfIRP7crDPBUdNQmJL9-wpsq2GVDO41345IyrJnzJW78CHpDnYZsEJ5dSQI7v9CUPl_7cOkSsO35WIZ60BFjRofRLgMHPWxlwwNEJFtO3PZQy7NJbDQy7crhA/s400/2010-Hennessey-Venom-GT-Super-Car-8.gif" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Venom GT Hennessey Supercar</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The  Venom GT’s base power plant is the supercharged 6.2 liter LS9 V8 (the  same as in the Corvette ZR1) tweaked by Hennessey to 725 bhp.

An active aero system  with adjustable rear wing will deploy under varying conditions on both  the road and racetrack. An adjustable suspension system will allow ride  height adjustments according to speed and driving conditions.

The concept for the high performance hybrid electric  microturbine vehicle was developed by Electronic Arts (EA) Chief  Creative Director Richard Hilleman.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424458693260840898" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S0eMcQaXj8I/AAAAAAAABus/UIYaqMUltLI/s400/Capstone-CMT-380-1.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Capstone Supercar CMT-380</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">After  working on the car for four years, inventor Richard Hilleman was the  man of the hour as he fielded questions about his unusual <span style="font-weight: bold;">microturbine-lithium-ion hybrid powertrain</span> fitted to a GTM <span style="font-weight: bold;">Supercar</span>  kit body. It may still be in the test phase, but Capstone claims that  the car can reach a top speed of 150mph, and is able to sprint from zero  to 60mph in just 3.9 seconds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The  CMT-380 features an unusual hybrid drivetrain which uses one of  Capstone's new C30 (30-kilowatt) microturbine engines to extend the  range of the primarily electric powered vehicle. The turbine can be run  on either diesel or biodiesel.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424458289398166498" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S0eMEv6AM-I/AAAAAAAABuk/zNgoFMQ1Oyo/s400/Capstone-CMT-380-2.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Capstone Supercar CMT-380</span></div><br />The  CMT-380 features lithium-polymer battery cells that can be charged at  home or at a public recharging station. While driving, the CMT-380 can  operate on 100 percent battery power in zero emissions mode for a range  of up to 80 miles. When the batteries reach a predetermined state of  discharge, the Capstone C30 microturbine quietly fires up and recharges  the batteries on the fly to extend the driving range up to 500 miles.  The diesel fueled C30 microturbine requires less maintenance than  traditional combustion engines and produces ultra-low exhaust emissions.  Hilleman has owned an electric vehicle – a converted Porsche 550 Spyder  – for at 15 years and has constantly upgraded it. The EV used to have  just 30 hp with lead acids but now uses lithium ferrous batteries and  has 200 hp. The 100-mile range hasn't changed, though, and so he knew it  was time to build a hybrid. He decided on Capstone's diesel  microturbines as the range extender.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424458277754970338" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S0eMEEiDIOI/AAAAAAAABuc/llDF--aHlFE/s400/Capstone-CMT-380-3.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Capstone Supercar CMT-380</span><br /><br /></div>He  knew he could rely on them – they've been used in buses for years – but  there was still the challenge of fitting the unit into a car like this.  Hilleman built the CMT-380 just for himself, but Capstone is happy to  show it off as a proof of concept vehicle. It would be too pricey to put  into mass production (Hilleman estimated he put in about $375,000 hours  of work), but it's not impossible that a high-end, expensive, limited  production run could be made some day.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424458269796506114" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S0eMDm4mmgI/AAAAAAAABuU/lHVbaYkPH8Y/s400/Capstone-CMT-380-4.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Capstone Supercar CMT-380</span></div><br />Right  now, Hilleman is really happy with his creation. He especially loves  the sound of the vehicle. Three feet to the side of the car, the  microturbine puts out about 87 dB, but in the cabin, it's nearly silent.  California law might require him to add a muffler, but it's already  quiet enough without one. He's got a solution for that problem, should  he need it.<br />The chassis and bodywork of the Capstone CMT-380 are borrowed from the Factory Five GTM kit<span style="font-weight: bold;"> sports car</span>, and modified to accept the hybrid drivetrain.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424458263206189826" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S0eMDOVWWwI/AAAAAAAABuM/i5GM-H7TmWo/s400/Capstone-CMT-380-5.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424458258835582242" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S0eMC-DULSI/AAAAAAAABuE/2H2um-yX2gk/s400/Capstone-CMT-380-6.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Capstone Supercar CMT-380</span></div><br />"Capstone's  CMT-380 is just now finishing up the conceptual design and first  article testing stage," said Darren Jamison, Capstone President and CEO.  "We plan to finalize very soon a limited production plan, in part,  based on interest received at the [2009] LA Auto Show. We anticipate  customers will be a select group of individuals who appreciate its many  innovative high-performance and high-technology driving characteristics,  long driving range and ultra-low emissions," added Jamison.</div></div></div>

The result is a forward-looking supercar with attention grabbing  Ford presence and Carroll Shelby inspiration.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The Ford Shelby GR-1 is a front-engined, two-seat, fastback supercar that is based on the architecture of the Ford GT.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Ford and Carroll Shelby</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">More  than 42 years after their original agreement to produce performance  cars, Ford Motor Company and Carroll Shelby are back together producing  production and concept cars. Shelby, a former race car driver and  creator of numerous collectable performance cars returned to  collaboration with Ford in the design of the 2005 Ford GT, which goes on  sale this summer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Shelby  worked closely with the Ford Design team and Advanced Product Creation  group to develop the Ford Shelby Cobra concept car. In addition, Shelby  will produce a high-performance, limited edition, Shelby Ford  Expedition, for sale through select dealers next year.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8732" height="225" src="http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shelby_gr1-17.jpg" title="shelby_gr1-17" width="300" /><br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Design Racing  inspired and wholly modern in design, this show car builds on the  success of the Ford Shelby Cobra concept – the 2004 North American  International Auto Show (NAIAS) “Best in Show” winner – and reinforces  Ford’s on-going commitment to performance excellence.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  Ford Shelby GR-1 concept is a sinewy, athletic design with a dramatic  front engine proportion. The long hood blends seamlessly into the  teardrop-shaped cabin while the dramatic fenders dart rearwards into  curvaceous haunches thrusting the car forward and enhancing the  aggressive stance and width.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  car looks as if it is in motion, even when standing still. The  optimized wheel arches and compact overhangs define the dramatic  proportion while the sensual surfaces express the car’s athletic nature.  A chiseled physique is achieved with sheer and full surfaces working  together, interfacing one another in harmonious lines such as the strong  shoulder line orbiting the car’s form.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  front of the GR-1 is dominated by an impressive air intake aperture and  air flow splitter, directing cooling air into the engine bay and wheel  wells, while air vents on the top surface of the hood exhaust hot air  from the radiator.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  V10 engine pushes unashamedly upwards into the hood’s surface exposing  prominent bulges – a potent reminder of the car’s powerful performance –  while air vents at the base of the front screen allow the motor to  breathe. Intakes and vents perforate the body side and Kamm tail,  further exhausting hot air out of the vehicle.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8731" height="225" src="http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shelby_gr1-16.jpg" title="shelby_gr1-16" width="300" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  front corners of the GR-1 are dominated by the front wheel well and  trapezoidal HISS (high intensity solid state) and LED headlamps. The  distinctive Kamm tail, a strong concave section, is further defined by  the bold vertical tail lights at the rear.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">A visor-like side glass graphic gives a hint of the dramatic motion of the butterfly-hinged doors.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  race-inspired, ultimate high performance, Ford Shelby GR-1 is the next  chapter in a long line of emotionally-charged Ford supercar concepts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Building Another Showstopper</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Ford  worked closely with Carroll Shelby to develop the Ford Shelby Cobra  concept for the 2004 North American International Auto Show. The show  car was the brainchild of Ford’s Advanced Product Creation Group,  engineered in Michigan and designed in California, a partnership which  is charged with developing future car concepts and technologies with an  eye toward production possibilities. The group used the Ford GT  architecture and fully engineered the Ford Shelby Cobra concept. For  demonstration purposes, two chassis were ordered for the Cobra concept,  but only one show car was built.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Before  body panels were even created, the fully-operational running chassis  was test-driven at high speeds at Ford’s Dearborn Proving Ground. So  pleased were Ford officials with the concept’s chassis that they took  the extra demonstration chassis and went to work on another concept  before the Ford Shelby Cobra concept was unveiled in January.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The  Ford Shelby Cobra and its predecessor, the Ford GT were hits of the two  previous North American International Auto Shows. The Ford Design team  was challenged to follow-up with another exciting concept.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8730" height="225" src="http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shelby_gr1-15.jpg" title="shelby_gr1-15" width="300" /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The Designer</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">In  the Irvine Advanced Design Studio, George Saridakis, a young designer,  new to Ford in 2000, was known for his contributions in executing the  details of some of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury’s latest production and  concept designs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Saridakis created a sketch that caught the attention of the Irvine team and resonated with Mays.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">“George  produced this completely resolved sketch – the best I’ve seen in 10  years,” says Mays. “When I saw it, it wasn’t a matter of ‘Let’s do more  sketches.’ It was really more of a ‘Let’s get this into clay.’”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8727" height="225" src="http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/shelby_gr1-12.jpg" title="shelby_gr1-12" width="300" />Remarkably, only the original sketch of the car, in three perspectives, was created.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">“George  nailed it in one crack,” Mays opines. “This is a designer so masterful  at visualizing every aspect of the car and its story that it literally  flowed out of his pen.
