SUPERCAR MADE MORE ASTIG!

screen_shot_2014-01-24_at_1_08_27_pmw

ASMA Design has a history of building some pretty impressive programs for a variety of supercars and while it technically hasn’t started on one for the McLaren P1, it’s safe to say that judging by the rendering it released on what the P1 would look like after it’s done with it, ASMA should do it as soon as humanly possible. One look and you can immediately tell that the P1’s level of aesthetic wonder just went to overdrive. The added vents and ducts, in particular, do more than just making the P1 look more tiger-fierce, but the improved air flow and aerodynamic stability are all equally important in giving the supercar more balance.

FASTEST ELECTRIC CAR?

The birthplace of Nikola Tesla may soon produce an electric car faster than any powered by gas. Mate Rimac, a Croatian car designer, already has the record for fastest quarter-mile by an electric vehicle. Now he’s gunning for the Bugatti Veyron. Mate promises his Rimac Concept_One produces 1,088 horsepower and can do 0-100 kph (62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds. That would put it in a tie for the third fastest car behind only the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport and SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

It is completely open as to how long doctors will keep Michael Schumacher in his induced coma. It is now approaching a month that the seven time world champion has been lying unconscious in a Grenoble hospital, following his late December skiing crash. There are unconfirmed reports that the great German may never wake up, or that if he does he could be in a permanent vegetative state. Germany’s Bild newspaper reports that “there is still no date set for when the doctors will wake him up from deep anaesthesia.”

CAN THIS LOTUS’ 2014 F1 CAR BE A WINNER?

Lotus F1 is the latest team to reveal its new car for the 2014 Formula One World Championship. The car carries the E22 designation and will be driven in the new season by existing Lotus driver Romain Grosjean and newcomer Pastor Maldonado. Sure to prove controversial is the car’s new split-nose design, which Lotus has selected to meet new regulations dictating that the front wings are narrowed by 150 millimeters. The E22’s undertray is also lower than that found on last year’s E21, while at the rear there is no longer a lower beam-wing and the main-flap is shallower. Powering the car is a power unit sourced from Renault, which like the power units developed by rival engine suppliers Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz consists of a turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 paired with an electrified Energy Recovery System.
