Ferrari 612 GTO Created by German Designer Sasha Selipanov
It’s pretty strange to see a brand new Ferrari GTO coming from a German designer, but nothing’s impossible nowadays. Thus, we have the Ferrari 612 GTO concept, created by Sasha Selipanov, who did a tremendous job, I have to say.
This model is obviously related to the next generation of Scaglietti and it’s a hardcore flavor of the Ferrari 4 seater. Sadly we have no tech specs, but I can imagine an upgrade from the 5.7 litre V12 engine we were expecting to see, plus a solid 600 bhp to start from, if not more. Sasha used influences from the classic Ferrari 250 GTO for this concept, as shown by the triple air intakes we see here.
Autoblog claims that this is a hybrid between the Aston Martin One-77 and the Ferrari 458 Italia and they sure have a point. What do you think?
Lamborghini Indomable is a 2,000-hp Beast That Might Actually Be Produced
Believe it or not, the Lamborghini Indomable concept pictured below might actually make it to production, despite sporting an incredible feat: 2,000 hp of raw power. This project was created by Daniel Chinchilla Ochoa and Alberto Fernandez Albilares, as part of a program sponsored by Lamboghini.
However, don’t expect Lambo to build this model, since a company called 215 Racing already set its eyes on the supercar and bought the rights to create it. A production version based on these images is expected and in the end the vehicle might not even be a Lambo at all, being called Mostro Di-Potenza SF22.
This newcomer will get a mid-mounted twin turbocharged 9.4 liter V8 engine, a 6 speed sequential gearbox and 2,000 pound feet of torque. 50 units of the SF22 will be created and the price will be a very reasonable $950,000 for such a monster…
Citroen Egoiste Electric Car Uses All Glass Surface
How about a Citrocen concept car made of glass? I’m talking about the design of Ian Kettle here, who imagined the Citroen Egoiste as a vehicle that features a flat and low front and not very much space for the engine.
Egoiste comes with a glass top, glass sides, for a better view of the surroundings. The battery packs powering the supercar rest on in the under-floor space and moving on to the design, this Citroen uses a rear hinged canopy reminding me of a jet fighter. Inspiration for this vehicle can be found in fashion houses in Paris, as passengers can walk the length of the car on a flat floor, in the area above the battery packs, just like they would stride on a catwalk.
The wheels adopt a floral pattern, also being screens for the hub motors. Citroen Egoiste does not feature the classic grill or radiator since it’s an electric car, so it’s cooling is taken care of by glass blades, that direct the air where it’s needed. In case you find this impressive, know that the project was presented at Citroen Design Studio in Paris, last year.
