Hot New Concept Cars





At the Paris Motor Show, held every other autumn at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles some hot new cars where debuted. My two favorites were, 2009 Lamborghini Estoque Concept (first two pictures) and the RC HYmotion4 . The Estoque has a 560-horsepower V10 engine and full-time all-wheel drive. The Estoque adds a feature never before found on a Lamborghini — rear doors. All four seats are trimmed in Nappa leather and feature multiple electronic adjustments. The trunk is also pretty big, for a Lambo. It may be four doors, but it's still sexy. My other new car is the Peugeot RC HYmotion4. ‘4’ as in four doors, four seats and four-wheel drive, ‘HY’ as in hybrid. It has a 1.6-liter gasoline engine transversely mounted behind the cockpit and a 70 kW electric motor under the hood, with a total of 313 horsepower in gasoline-plus-electric mode. Not quite a Lambo, but it's still hot. It has a carbon fiber composite skin over an aluminum spaceframe shell making it pretty damn light. Well the show goes on until the 19th, so just hop on a plain and go check it out. Or visit the official website here. Whichever, check out some hot new cars.
