Mosnar Communications Invites Luxury Car Owners For Its Upcoming Event

Mosnar Communications has announced an open enrolment for their upcoming event that is being exclusively offered to owners of ultra luxury cars. The participants will get to give their own inspiration designs to some of the world’s leading ultra luxury car brands. This event will see several members from Design Teams of these car brands. Apart from this, the participants will also have an opportunity to review luxurious automobiles up close in person.

But the names of the luxury cars that will be showcased are being withheld from the public and participants will only get to see them on the date of attendance. But I guess the suspence will make it even more exiting. The participants should own luxury cars such as a Rolls Royce Ghost, Rolls Royce Phantom, Bentley Arnage, Bentley Flying Spur, Bentley Mulsanne, Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide, Porsche Panamera or Maybach.

CR Cataunya Ransom, lead publicist for Mosnar Communications said that the sales of ultra luxury cars are showing signs of recovery nationwide. Infact there has been a 16% increase in new car sales for the leading luxury car brands for the first seven months for the entire 2010 year. Those interested can make online registrations.

New Improved Bentley Continental GT Unveiled Simultaneously on the Net

It is a big event. The unveiling of the new Bentley Continental GT. And everyone is welcome. It is the first time that Bentley has revealed its all new super coupe live on the internet. A live feed on the internet will allow the viewers to see the car from a variety of angles. They can see the car inside and out all through the live stream on the internet.

Auto Express was amongst very few of the magazines who were granted exclusive back stage access to the car and Raul Pires who is the head of the design for the car. Pires explained that they had three objectives in front of them – to improve the proportions, to make the signature lines more contemporary and give the car a more handmade feel.

If you see closely you will realize that the car is definitely new. Every panel is new except the rear view mirrors. The changes have been drastic in terms of processes and the materials used. The changes have been more time consuming and expensive but according to Pires it is possible to experiment with a low volume car. The interiors have also undergone a facelift; the hand-crafted interior has been reworked for even greater luxury and functionality. The seats, the carpeting and the dashboard have all improved keeping in mind the comfort, functionality and luxury.

Hyundai Rolls Outs Its Luxurious Flagship Car-The Equus

German and Detroit automakers will have reasons to worry for Hyundai is all set to unleash its land yacht, the Equus. Powered a 385-horsepower engine, this luxury cruise is bestowed with leather accents and a host of other upscale features.

Its list of luxe attributes includes heated and cooled massaging back seat, excellent 17-speaker Lexicon audio system, watching movies on the 7.1 DTS surround-sound system, 8-inch LCD video screen and a shoebox-sized thermoelectric fridge between the seats. The only flipside here seems to be the miniscule LCD and absence of a headphone jack for listening to music through stereo speakers could be injurious to your safety in the car.

The car can achieve as much as 16 mpg in the city, 24 on the highway and 19 combined. its interiors are characterized by butter-soft leather, with an Alcantara suede headliner, walnut (or birch) veneer and polished-aluminum accents. Hyundai will be this in two versions namely, the Ultimate package aimed at the rich masses who can afford a chauffeur and the Signature Package which would be hitting the streets of USA. The signature package doesn’t have massaging and reclining rear seat, the fridge and a few other minor features. No definite word on the price, but folks are speculationg $50,000 tag for the signature version and another $10,000 for the Ultimate package.

Lotus concept city car Wallpaper

After a spectacular showing at the Paris Motor Show made up of five breathtakingly awesome reveals, Lotus has decided we can't get enough of a good thing and is rolling out one more. First, let's recap the five concept vehicles we've already laid eyes on: Elite, Espirit, Elise, Eterne hybrid and Elan. What's number six? The new Lotus City Car concept, which we assume has to be the last of the company's breathtaking unveilings scheduled for this year's show. Right?

The City Car concept, as its name implies, is an economic urban runabout. But there's much more to it than that. The concept employs a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder range extender engine carefully packaged within the tight confines. Lotus claims an electric-only range of 37 miles before that joyous range extender swings into action delivering at least 165 miles more. With a total range exceeding 300 miles, a CO2 emissions rating below 60 grams per kilometer and 0-60 accomplished in less than ten seconds, the Lotus City Car concept combines remarkable efficiency with performance above what's expected in its segment.

Throw in some dazzling looks, a top speed in excess of 100 miles per hour and a flex-fuel-capable engine, Lotus' concept appears more than capable enough to capture the city car segment, if the price is kept in check. Lotus has not revealed firm plans to offer its City Car concept to the public, but if the automaker decides to give it the nod, then production is at least a few years away.

This year's edition of the Paris show will see the VW Group's successful Skoda brand unveiling its first-ever electric-powered vehicle called the Octavia Green E Line. Skoda says it is planning to create a special test fleet of Octavias Green E Line in 2011 with the goal of obtaining additional information relevant to the further development of the electric drive.

The concept model is based on the series production Octavia Combi [estate] and is powered by an electric motor delivering a constant power of 60 kW / 80-hp and a maximum output of 85 kW / 114-hp. Peak torque of 270Nm or 199 lb-ft is available right from the start.

The pure-electric Octavia accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in twelve seconds, while the car's maximum speed is limited to 135 km/h (84mph).

Electricity for the drive motor is supplied by a 26.5 kWh battery made up of 180 lithium-ion cells, which weighs around 315 kg or 695 pounds and is located under the middle and rear parts of the floor extending partly into the luggage compartment.

Skoda claims the battery has "almost no impact" on the volume of the passenger and luggage compartments of the Octavia Combi.

At full capacity, the battery is said to offer a driving range of about 140 kilometers or 87 miles.

The concept model at the Paris show will be finished in a Pearl-white exterior color and feature a glossy black roof with integrated energy-generating photovoltaic panels.

Honda presented the 2011 model year version of its UK-built, European-market Civic hatch in Paris this week. The Japanese automaker's Golf rival benefits from some minor updates, mostly limited to the grille, interior fabrics and alloy wheel designs on some models.

More specifically, the Perspex grille is gone on the 5-door hatchback and it has been replaced with the same mesh grille used on the three-door Civics. A new color has also been introduced to the range: Ionized Bronze.

Inside, the base Civic gets seats trimmed in a combination of cloth and alcantara, while the special edition GT gets half leather and Alcantara as standard. The GT model also gets unique 17-inch alloy wheels, further differentiating it from the standard models.
