BuddySol Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well, L.A. decided to bump up their auto show so that they wouldn't be fighting with Detroit's NAIAS for concept cars and production vehicle debuts. So I went and took a couple pictures. Seems that the trend is either the retro-modern look or that aerodynamic tear drop look. A lot of the hard edges in design have seem to given way to more softer, curvier lines. Pretty impressive show...although the Aftermarket Hall seemed lacking this year...not a lot of hub-bub down there as years past =( Click for the Pix!

Drew Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 You went to LA and didn't invite me? Nice pics. I like the Dodge Nitro. The commercial for it is funny too. The Acura Advance looks like it could be the next batmobile from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. I still want to go back though cause there were just to many people on Sunday...madhouse. More than half my pics were ruined by incosiderate bastards. The Acura Advance looks like it could be the next batmobile from the front. Or more like the Jokermobile =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 the mustang concept looks like crap, are they trying to copy the camero concept? and that first ferrari looks almost exactly like a mclaren f1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 well that would be wayyy slower than the UKDM one then.. cobalts are slow. i did some research and the of course the honda engine is so much better. the honda engine they put in it can be tuned to have 290 hp N/A, but the cobalt engine has to have a bigger eaton supercharger in order to make 300 hp. so technically if you tuned and supercharged the honda engine, you've got a monster. and the only car faster than the ariel at acceleration, straight from the factory, is the bugatti veyron. ariel's 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, veyron's 0-60 in 2.5. veyron does have a better torque to weight ratio and it has all wheel drive, crazy good traction control, and is an automatic.

CleanGSR Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 i want an ariel atom.. 20k pounds and it is proven to be the quickest car ever made. Where do you get that info? I believe the Cunningham something or other is much quicker. about a 1000 pounds and powered by a 200 hp version of the busa engine. Also the lotus super seven is in that class with about the same specs. Have you seen somewhere comparing all of these cars to prove the ariel the quickest? Just wondering so don't start getting all pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 nah.. i saw a video and it was raced on the same track as all the other supercars and it had a better lap time than any other car they raced. it is amazing. the CTR engine is Supercharged, its not NA in the Atom. W16 engines (bugatti Veyron) dont compete with 500 kg 300 hp 4 cylinder cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
