Saleen S5S Raptor concept

Coinciding with the launch of its new SMS Limited brand, sports car manufacturer Saleen has unveiled a new supercar concept at today’s New York Auto Show that boasts a 650hp V8 engine running on ethanol. Already being touted as the successor to the current S7 flagship, the new car is still in the design phase and will only go into production if it receives enough interest from show goers.

The concept carries the name S5S Raptor and it features a mid-mounted supercharged 5.0L V8 engine that can burn either petrol or 85% ethanol blended fuels. Other features include a lightweight aluminum chassis and composite body and a six-speed manual transmission sending drive to the rear wheels. The sprint to 60mph should take a little over three seconds and top speed is an estimated 200mph.

As this image reveals, the new concept is just as aggressive as the current mid-engined S7 supercar but it will be priced much lower than the $600,000 flagship if it were to enter production. If given the green light, Saleen claims the car could be in showrooms within two years with a price tag of $185,000.

New sport n modification Ferrari F 50

The Ferrari F50 was a mid-engined range-topping sports car made by Ferrari. The F50 was introduced in 1995, as a successor to the F40, to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The car is a two door, two seat convertible with a removable hardtop. It has a 4.7 L naturally-aspirated 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5 L V12 used in the 1992 Ferrari F 92 A Formula One car.

Only 349 cars were made, one fewer than Ferrari estimated they could sell. This was, in the words of Ferrari spokesman Antonio Ghini, because "Ferraris are something cultural, a monument. They must be hard to find, so we will produce one less car than the market." The last Ferrari F50 was produced in Maranello, Italy in July 1997.

Audi rs4

The transmission of the car is also mounted directly at the back of the engine and that too in the same longitudinal position. The transmission is set in the form of a transaxle, and consists of both a front and a central differential. The initials used in the name of the car, “RS” were taken from the German language; RennSport, which when translated to English means Racing Sport. Like all of the RS model cars designed by Audi, the RS4 also boasts some of the latest technology developed by Audi, and the term ‘halo vehicle’ could certainly be used to described the Audi RS4.

Moreover, the Audi RS4 is exclusively available with Audi’s Torsen based trademark Quattro permanent system of the four wheel drive. The Audi RS4’s main market competitors at the launch of the car were the BMW M3, the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG as well as the Lexus IS-F.

The Audi RS4 was originally released back in 1999, and was set in the assembly line for manufacture and production in the early 2000s. The car was only available as an Avant model at the beginning, but then the saloon/sedan model were introduced. Initially, the retail price of the car was around Deutsche Mark 103, 584. The Audi RS4 became available for sale in the major parts of Europe, a few parts of Asia and some of the Latin American countries. Overall, the Audi RS4 is a great car with all of the exciting options and would now be available at a very cheap price as production has ceased.
