2012 Honda CR-Z Mugen concept
After over 15 per cent increase in power over the machines 'phase 1' and with more than 50 kg less than the casing, overall performance is set to meet the original target of Mugen.
Achieved 0-60mph in 6.6 seconds, and the team says it has passed the test version, thanks to increased power to 200bhp and 245Nm of torque.
The 1.5 i-VTEC engine developing 113bhp regularly, while bolting on the supercharger and cleaning Mugen IMA hybrid system for ft near 200bhp and 181 pounds, and dietitian Mugen been stripped out of the weight of 50kg is not necessary, to make the CR-Z is more agile. This hood is made of lightweight carbonfibre while Mugen alloy wheels.
Mugen also has improved handling and performance, fitting adjustable shocks and disc brakes are great, improve tracking and reduce weight. Mugen GP 17-inch alloy false are part of the exterior package that includes front and rear airdams, side skirts and rear wing.

Honda FC Sports Car Concept
Press Release
Honda revealed the Honda FC Sport design study model, a hydrogen-powered, three-seat sports car concept, at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The FC Sport emphasizes the design flexibility and potential of Honda’s V Flow fuel cell technology - already deployed in the Honda FCX Clarity sedan - and reconfigures it into a lightweight sports car design with an ultra-low center of gravity, powerful electric motor performance and zero-emissions. The design study concept is inspired by supercar levels of performance through low weight and a high-performance, electrically driven fuel cell powertrain.
“The Honda FC Sport explores how to satisfy automotive performance enthusiasts in a world beyond petroleum,” said Dan Bonawitz, vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “People who love sports cars will still have a reason to love in a hydrogen-powered future.”
The high-output Honda fuel cell powertrain and a sleek, aerodynamic body contribute to the vehicle’s performance potential. A modular approach to fuel cell component packaging and the electric drivetrain contribute to the FC Sport’s low center of gravity with the majority of vehicle mass distributed between the axles, creating the balanced weight distribution sought after in sports cars.
The ideal placement of the Honda V-Flow fuel cell stack and related components demonstrates the benefits of a platform-specific, hydrogen-powered fuel cell powertrain. The Honda FC Sport is configured to accommodate a custom-formed high-power fuel cell stack, located between the rear seats, and a battery pack placed low in the middle of the vehicle. The electric motor resides just forward of the rear axle. Two fuel storage tanks, visible from above, are located above the rear axle.
The optimal placement of fuel cell components for performance also allows for a relatively large passenger cabin by conventional supercar standards with enough space for three seating positions. The interior layout focuses primarily on the driver with a racecar-like center driving position. The enclosed canopy opens upward from the rear to allow for entry and exit. Two rear passenger seats flank the driver’s left and right side.
The sleek, low-profile body is designed to convey a high-technology appearance with sculpting that combines angular shapes in the front of the vehicle that taper into geometric, hex forms in the rear. The rear hex forms house cooling radiators for the fuel cell. Formula 1-style barge boards behind the front wheels enhance high speed aerodynamics and convey the vehicle’s racing pedigree. The hydrogen storage tanks, visible from the rear deck, showcase the FC Sports fuel cell technology in much the same way that a “naked bike” motorcycle showcases its engineering technology.
The glacier white body color conveys the Honda FC Sport’s clean environmental aspirations while the dark wheels and deeply tinted glass provide a symbolic contrast befitting of the vehicle’s unique combination of clean power and high performance. Green construction techniques further contribute to a reduced carbon footprint. An organic, bio-structure theme is carried through to the body construction where exterior panels are intended to use plant-derived bio-plastics.
The Advanced Design Studio of Honda R&D Americas, in Pasadena, California, developed the Honda FC Sport design study with the primary objective of using existing fuel cell technology as the basis for an ultimate Honda sports car. Designer Jason Wilbur led the design efforts.
The Bugatti Super Sport Watch
Seen on the wrist Bugatti test driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel while the beautiful Molsheim had brought down the 431 km / h top speed, a small spotlight on the latest creation of iconic Parmigiani, Bugatti’s new shows Super Sport, an exceptional timepiece that could be better exploit the confines of time to enter the legend. Inspired by the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, it is composed of six anti-reflective sapphire and sees himself with the new caliber Parmigiani PF 372 that allows it to show 10 days of power reserve. Water resistant to 10 meters deep, it will come in a limited edition ultra-just 30 pieces, finished with the alligator and the white gold Hermès Paris, proposed for a staggering $ 259,000 dollars. The images in the suite!
