Rendering the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster Rendering the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster

We haven’t got the chance to see the real life photos of Lamborghini Aventador Roadster and all of a sudden, the rendering image emerges on the web. What we have for now is the fact that this Italian Raging Bull supercar will get its official unveiled, debut, and introductory at 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March which means that the rumor has been confirmed, right? So, how does the future look of the topless Aventador?

Some people think that March is still long way to go, and some think that they just can’t wait any longer to see the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. This is why the rendering image that exclusively shared by autoevolution.com emerges on the web. We really thank you to the power of imagination because we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the rendering image of the long-waiting Aventador Roadster.

The Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is Italian monster that hides 700 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and screaming torque at 509 lb-ft or equals to 690 Nm reaches at 5,500 rpm. We can assure you that the massive amount of power will not be complete without the exhaust which could be retune in order to go perfectly with the top down version of Italian supercar.

Although it presences on the form of convertible, the Aventador Roadster supercar will be equipped with sophisticated monocoque chassis that constructed from carbon fiber and contributes to overall weight at 1,575 kg. This Italian top-down supercar will be no problem hitting 0 to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds thanks to the all-wheel drive system and the lightning-fast ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission.

Do you know why the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series has certain attraction? Piston Heads user under the name of “Tuvra” knows that very well as he got bored in the office and creating the rendering image of the C63 AMG Black Series in convertible. Yup… it does complete the line-up, doesn’t it? We have seen the Coupe version, the spyshots of the sedan version, and now thanks to Tuvra, we have the convertible sportscar version.

Question: why the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series is so familiar? That is because the convertible coupe in high-performance reminds us with the SLS AMG GT3, don’t you think? What do you think if we or maybe Tuvra proposed this rendering image to the three-pointed automaker, will they accept it and will make the production version? Or maybe in the form of concept first? We don’t know what Mercedes would think, but we think this image is awesome!

The choices of tires for the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series are set of 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels that are covered in titanium grey paint. As for the exterior color scheme, Tuvra selected anthracite tone for fierce look.

Imagining that Mercedes-Benz will take the C63 AMG Black Series convertible into production, it probably will be powered by a 6.3L V8 AMG engine. That particular engine is able to deliver 517 horsepower and mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT seven-speed sports transmission.

The 2012 BMW M6 strolled the street of Germans for test drive. The German coupe convertible was covered in less camouflage sheet as it only covers the side skirts, bumpers, and rear bumper. You know what less camouflage sheet means, don’t you? It means that the 2012 BMW M6 is approaching its final developments before getting its official unveil.

With the roof down – and there was a bit of roof folding action – we get the chance to see the interior and the exterior of the coupe convertible. A grey exterior paint model and the more fierce black. An aggressive style is very noticeable on the exterior as the 2012 M6 carries a larger air dam, a lower bumper, a new muscular nose, and bulging bonnet.

Moving to the back, the 2012 M6 has quadruple exhaust which obviously emphasizes the M creation and that new bumper and we just can’t get our eyes of off the an integrated rear diffuser. It is might be your first chance to see series of spyshots on 2012 BMW M6 with massive amount of black leather, M badges on the shifter and instruments, and instruments with sporty steering wheel.

No photos on the engine, but we predict the 2012 BMW M6 is powered by the same twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 which also powered the X5 M, X6 M and M5. Rumor has it that the 2012 M6 will be delivering 600 horsepower which definitely will be more expensive.

Anything else you can notice? Yup… there is style from Carrera GT on the Porsche 550 Spyder as we spotted that dynamic tone on the sportscar. You know, if the mysterious 550 Spyder doesn’t borrow the cues from its siblings, it will be totally wrong.

Moving on to the back, the rear humps of the Porsche 550 Spyder specially inspired from the Speedster.

For the cosmetic point of view, not much we can share with you. Basically, the overall look on the 2012 Porsche 911 convertible cabriolet is based on the Carrera S platform. How do we know it? Try to look at the four exhaust tips round the back. And that is the signature of the Porsche Carrera S.

If the bodywork is based on the Porsche Carrera S, so the engine is probably derived from the Carrera S too. It means that the 2012 Porsche 911 convertible cabriolet will be powered by a 3.8L V6 engine which able to give power output around 400 horsepower and mated to either 7-speed manual of optional PDK.

One of the most interesting parts we really wait for the 2012 Porsche 911 convertible cabriolet is the Turbo. The Turbo will add the power output into 530 horsepower. In case the power of the cabriolet is not your major concern, Porsche also offers the base Carrera in 3.4L V6 which offers 350 horsepower.

The Story of Audi R8 GT Spyder

Audi R8 GT Spyder2 The Story of Audi R8 GT Spyder

Audi R8 GT Spyder convertible sportscar just launched a brand new video profile to gain public attention. Seriously, if a car like Audi R8 GT Spyder can’t have massive public attention, is either the public is not aware of the German fastest convertible sporstcar or it’s just lousy PR job. The presentation video which you can watch here is a follow up after the official introductory of the Audi R8 GT Spyder at the Le Mans 2011 where convertible sportscar shows its ability on the road and track performance.

We recognize the look on your face which means you want to have the Audi R8 GT Spyder, right? The German automaker stated only 333 units of the convertible sportscar will be ever made. Unfortunately, no official price has been announced in case you want to know how much the Audi R8 GT Spyder is worth.

The Audi R8 GT Spyder is powered by the powerful V10 engine and yes, that is the same engine you found under the hood of the Audi GT coupe. With the V10, the convertible sportscar has 560 horsepower which means that it is 35 more than the regular V10 Spyder. Since the German car manufacturer refers it as the fastest convertible sporstcar, the Audi R8 GT Spyder weighs 85 kg (187.39 lb-ft) which means that it is slimmer than the already toned basic version thanks to the extensive use of CRFP.

The entire video profile on the Audi R8 GT Spyder is all about the convertible sportscar, but the German automaker slipped some boring facts. What boring facts? If you watch it, you might realized that the brake calipers on the Audi R8 GT Spyder are not covered in enamel, but anodized which according to Audi to saves weight. Well, thanks to that anodized brake calipers, the convertible sportscar is able to sprint from 0 to 100km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds and the top speed of the Audi R8 GT Spyder up to 317 km/h (196.97 mph).

According to our internet source, the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible designation is expected ready for marketing in 2013. Still, we are curious about the existence of the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible. What we are trying to say is, if the Mercedes-Benz SLA is intended to make the competition on the roadster convertible market to be stiffer, it also means that the SLA could be an inside threat for Mercedes-Benz SLK. Just to remind you that the SLK has created its own market and people with seven figure digits are in-line to own one. One question left that might make you curious: can the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible compete with its own sibling – which in this case the mighty SLK?

Mercedes SLA top view Mercedes Benz SLA Ready in 2013

We need more time and more details to be able to answer that question, but in the mean time, the German carmaker is kind enough to leaked few details about the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible. As we mentioned before that the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible is intended to be placed under the SLK, and as Mercedes stated, the SLA will be using the MFA platform. Yes… MFA platform for the Mercedes-Benz SLA means the roadster convertible will get front-wheel-drive. Bummer… this doesn’t sound good at all, don’t you think?

The engine choice for the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible will be the same thing that powered the future A- and B-Klasse. Yup, the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible will be powered with a turbocharged 1.6L petrol unit and a 1.8L diesel. The transmission selection for the Mercedes-Benz SLA roadster convertible is none other than the 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch.
