For which they presented a new range of models with hybrid and biodegradable technology to reduce to the maximum the fuel consumptions and the COQ emissions, which are going to be for sale in Europe for the end of this month.

But the Auto show of Frankfurt not only was characterized by the concern of the manufacturers to offer real actions to attack the weather changes, but also for the presentation of real super dream sports cars, such as the new Bugatti Veyron “Pur Sang", an exclusive version endowed with a greater refinement and strength; the new Aston Martin DBS, as well as the powerful Lamborghini Reventón, a pureblood of 650 Hp of untamed beauty that will be for sale at the end of this year.

 

Bugatti Veyron

A thoroughbred in all its splendor

Bugatti is not only content to have breathed life into the most powerful, fast and exclusive super sports car in the world because now it has brought this special edition into life (of which it will produce only 5 examples for the whole world) that takes the concepts of sports, purity and power to unimaginable levels.

The idea of the Veyron Pur Sang Thoroughbred, was bom in the firm's workshops in Molsheim, France, where the Bugatti designers and engineers built the Veyron by hand, and who noticed the natural beauty of this super sports car, so the decided to create a pure configuration version in homage to the powerful legacy of the Bugatti competition cars, such as the “Atalante", the Type 55 and the Type 41 “Royale”.

In this way, its bodywork is manufactured in natural aluminum and carbon fiber; in other words, polished by hand and without a single layer of paint, which combined with a series of highly contrasting cosmetic touches that give it unique beauty and style.

The chassis has been modified with carbon fiber and used elements such as aluminum, titanium and magnesium which, on the one hand, makes the car more rigid, which translates into a more stable behavior, while on the other, has allowed it to lose 100 kilos in weight, achieving a power to weight ration of 1.88 kg per horse power.

1,001 HP at Full Gallop

To emphasize the exclusive sporting character of this version, the interior has undergone some slight changes, including the use of aluminum and carbon fiber trimmings on the dashboard. Its power output, on the other hand, comes from a W 16 cylinder engine with quad 8.0 liter turbochargers that produces 1,001 HP and a torque of 922 lb/ft at just 2,200 r.p.m.

Lamborghini Reventon

Full-on power and aggressiveness

Impressive, powerful and very exclusive, thus is the new creature from Casa de Sant' Ágata Bolognese, a thoroughbred with stunning style that, thanks to its outstanding performance, makes it the fastest and most powerful model that the Italian carmaker has ever built and therefore will only construct 20 examples, at a price of 1 million Euros, plus taxes.

The Lamborghini Reventón (named in honor of the great fighting bull that belonged to the Don Rodriguez family and was known for killing the famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in the Plaza México in 1943) is based on the Murciélago LP640, but with a radically different and novel appearance.

Inspired by the design of the F-22 Raptor fighter plane, the bodywork is manufactured from carbon fiber composite and boasts sharper and straighter lines, as well as by the acutely pointed front in the shape of an arrow, which combine brilliantly with the colossal air intakes to cool the carbon brake discs

It is finished in matt slate gray, while the lights are a combination of xenon and LEDs, both front and rear, which give the car a very challenging appearance. Of course, the doors do not open conventionally, but upwards, as with the legendary Countach. The roadwheels are black with carbon fiber inserts and their special design emulates a turbine when turning.

An Exclusive and Sporting Cockpit

The aeronautical touch can be seem inside, which looks like an airplane cockpit finished with the highest quality materials, luxury equipment combined with leather, alcantara, carbon fiber and aluminum to create a unique and captivating atmosphere. In fact, all the information is displayed on LCD screen, like in a fighter plane.
