Have You Seen Any Doors In The New LOREMO Concept Car?

Road Travel Road Trip
LOREMO

Another futuristic car model is here! Wow. This Loremo car really amazes me. Its bodywork is unconventional yet, very pleasing to our sight. Look at that awesome fascia and hey, check out the hood at its grandeur strut. Haha. Wait! It is not actually a hood? You will get into this Loremo by a lateral threshold, so instead of two lateral doors, there is one “gate”. Thus, that is not a hood! it is actually the frontal door that opens forward before the seats, taking the steering wheel with it! Have you seen the roof and the doors? They are laid out as a two-layer plastic construction with some laminated interior sides. Worried about your baggage? The rear seats provide wide space for them. Instead of a longitudinal adjustment of the seat, the pedals and the steering wheel will be adjusted to you (if you are the driver). The rear seats are installed against the line of travel and the dashboard is replaced by a simple device mushroom-shaped with a display.

LOREMO NEW CONCEPT CAR

Loremo AG introduces this new Loremo Concept Car that will let you enjoy a drive while keeping your pocket at ease. This is because of the fuel economy that is brought by the reduction of weight and air resistance.

Fuel mileage : 1.5 litres / 100 km

Simple yet elegant, it is. This new concept car is a product of dedication from automotive engineers of AG who aimed to provide a driving machine that exhibits comfort, design, and efficiency.

The combined aspects of aesthetics, simplicity, and aerodynamics are vividly seen on the car’s features. The low air resistance is designed from the excellent Cw value of 0.2 and from a frontal area which has been reduced to the minimum.

If you want to be a Loremo’s driver, you will just need 300 liters of fuel at an annual road performance of 20,000 km, compared to a conventional small car that can consume 1,600 liters of fuel while assuming the same performance.

Loremo concept car is offered in two models, the Loremo LS and Loremo GT. The LS model is powered by a 20 hp, 2-cylinder turbodiesel. On the other hand, the GT is designed with a 50 hp, 3-cylinder unit. Both models have 2 2, mid-engine/RWD configurations with a 5-speed gearbox. In contrast, the GT has an advantage on speed (from 0-62 mph in 9 seconds), while the Loremo leads over it because of fuel efficiency (1.5 liters/100 km compared to the GT that consumes only 2.7 liters per 100 km.)

How much do these Loremo cars cost? Approximately, LS car model will be priced $13,100, while the GT car model will be more or less than $18,000.

Buy Me This Bugatti FGB Dad!

Road Travel Road Trip



“Bugatti y Hermès presentarán un Veyron exclusivo en GInebra” 

Whatever this sentence means… I want that Bugatti!
My jaws are stuck in amaze again. I was never an enthusiast who follows Bugatti models but look at my bulging eyes now. When I saw Veyron FGB, there is one person who entered my mind- my dad. I know it is too much but hey, I have been an honor student since I was 6 and not only that, I have also been the president of our batch since 9. Don’t I deserve a Veyron then? Pleaaaaaaaase daaaaaad!

Why am I so into this ride? Look at this….




wargh! look at that!!!!

BUGATTI VEYRON Fgb

With its color and paint trim package, you can tell that the Bugatti Veyron FGB is special. Its face has been revamped with a brushed-aluminum trademark horse-collar grille, flanked with a panel and two air inlets. The mesh grilles (and radiator opening) and lower inlets (engine air snorkels aft of the passenger cabin and rocker panel inlets) have a pattern reflecting the Hermes “H” motif.

If you check out the interior, you will see the sand-colored leather everywhere. The inside door pulls have been reconfigured to appear more like luggage latches than door handles. You will also recognize the bespoke leather and Hermes logos on the wheel hubs and fuel- filler door speak to the car’s pedigree.

As is, Bugatti Veyron has its legendary performance from 1001 bhp, V16 quad-turbocharged engine, which drives a factory claimed 0-62 mph at 2.6 seconds. By the way, this Bugatti model costs nearly $2 million.

It;s A Plane... It's A Space Shuttle... It's Mach 5!

Road Travel Road Trip

A time machine. Wacha think? Haha. The mere sight of its white, curvilinear bodywork will transport most thirty- and forty-something car enthusiasts back in time! What an amazing car design we have here. Looking at its features just takes me into a fantasy world where super Speed Racer goes wheel to wheel with a squad of racing villains.



Racer Motors Mach 5 >> “The animated series, titled Speed Racer (called Mach GoGoGo in Japan) is the brainchild of animation legend Tatsuo Yoshida, and it eventually developed a loyal following among American preteen viewers. Broadcast on a UHF station in my hometown, Speed Racer was my favorite program in the early 1970s. You might say it kick-started my passion for automobiles.”

Futuristic Furai Is The New Mazda Car



Road Travel Road Trip

I am always amazed by new car models that are engineered with futuristic features. And this one that I have found earlier did not fail to hit me with a dropped jaw. Woooah. My bulging eyes are again focused on the details of the astonishing Mazda Furai. "Furai," referring to "sound of the wind", is the fifth evolution of Mazda's new design language exemplified in its initial Nagare concept (Nagare refers to "flow"). This working concept has begun life as one of Mazda's 2006 season ALMS P2 race cars.

The following are the specs and significant features of Mazda Furai

Road Travel Road Trip
  • Built on a Courage C65 chassis
  • Powered by a 450-bhp 3-rotor rotary engine, ethanol (E100)-powered concept
  • Complex outer shell that clearly follows its predecessor's design trends
  • Front-fascia channels direct air to the brake ducts
  • Sculpted flanks create turbulence which draws air to the side ducts, keeping the engine cool in conjunction with the radiators mounted in the car's side pods
  • Aft of the gullwing doors, flow-directing details continue to guide air over the car's rear haunches toward a large, functioning, adjustable-element spoiler. The sharp element you see protruding from the roof is called an A
  • Air Fang that optimizes ram air induction

This new concept car will surely make a hit in autoworld. (I wish my dad has enough savings to buy me one.) With Mazda Furai’s sophisticated aerodynamic design, even batman will dump his own batmobile to take it for a ride.

The unique design of Furai took an American Le Mans Series (ALMS) racecar and translated its appeal of the Courage C65 chassis.

Its aggressive look and strong appeal are reminiscent of the past concepts such as Hakaze, Ryuga, and Taiki. Take a closer look on the details and recite your own woooahs…
