Maybe not all of you guys consider that the Vw Golf r36 is a supercar…after you read this ur thinking will definetely change! HGP unveiled its lates creation: the 640hp Golf (hu~). Powered by the 3.6 liter V6 engine found also on the Vw Passat R36, the modified vehicle has exactly 10hp less than the Golf W12 650 concept.

hgp2_vw_golf_r36With the new engine, the HGP Golf R36 BiTurbo is capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in just 3,8 seconds while the top speed is arround 330 km/h. Nice colour, beautiful engine, with these performances the tuner had to change also the exhaust system, alloy rims and the brake discs with new ones capable to sustain these performances but to provide better handling too.

The photo above are recently spy shots of the upcoming Lotus Eagle – an Elise-based 2+2 sports car. Actually the production version will be unveiled in July at the London Motor Show, and sales will start toward the end of the year.

Essentially a stretched version of the highly successful roadster, the hard-top Eagle features room in the back for two small passengers and swaps the Elise’s four-cylinder engine for a Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre V6. Looking forward to the auto show..We will have more information then..

Geely’s elevation!! (again?)

Since the Geely GT announced a couple weeks ago, Geely has show his confidence in the international market.

In the 2008 Auto China show in Beijing, Geely prove his word again, Geely will be bringing 23 models to the show consisting of a concept car and three high tech models among others, a record for the Chinese car maker, starting with the King Kong and CE hatchbacks, HE minivan, NL and Cross GE SUVs and the FC-1, FC-2 and FC-3. The 2008 Auto China show Beijing will be an important milestone show for Geely.

But from the current photo that it just a few Daewoo & Chevrolet concepts, the Dacia Sandero, the Hyundai Sonata….. it goes on. Geely did not show its original seems like that.

We will still keep an eye on the show and will be more information later…

Mercedes’ upcoming new super car: Mercedes Gullwing was undergoing some handling test at Germany’s famous Nurburgring.

The SLC prototypes seems using Dodge Viper body panels, but rest assured that the similarities end there. The prototype uses a 106-inch long wheelbase, which happens to closely match the SLR’s wheelbase and in the process debunks any rumours about a smaller SLR based on the R230 SL-Class platform. The new Mercedes turning into a mid-engined car seems very distant now.

Weird car so far from the photo…
