Vauxhall GTC Paris Concept

At 4.46 meters, the GTC Paris offers ample space for five people, yet still maintains a swell and sporting appearance. Adams’ team has maximized ‘tension’ in the design by limiting the amount of lines in the car’s profile, and leaving the impression that the car’s highlights and surfacing are ‘pressed’ on to the concept’s 21-inch wheels. 

Engine and specification

Engine: A four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged

Headlights: Slim, eagle-eye shaped headlamps

  Wheels: 21-inch wheels

 

Lazareth creates a 500-horsepower Ethanol Powered quad

French automobile and motorcycle builder Lazareth has managed to shoehorn an entire BMW V12 engine into one of its crazy Wazuma quads. While there isn't much that's environmentally friendly about a 500-horsepower supercharged V12 from BMW that's powering a rather large and impractical quad platform, Lazareth has decided to attempt to give the machine a bit of eco-cred by running the engine on E85.

Why use ethanol in a decidedly performance-minded machine? We'd guess Lazareth's decision to run E85 as a fuel is due to its superior octane rating, which allows the engine to run a higher compression ratio than with gasoline. If you're interested in adding an ethanol-burning, V12-powered road rocket to your own personal stable of vehicles, all you need to do is write Lazareth a check for €200,000 ($283,000) and await your delivery.
