European debut Bugatti Mistral
The Bugatti Mistral was presented at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille Concours d'Elegance this year The event takes place in the park adjacent to the stunning Château de Chantilly Located 45 km (28 miles) north of Paris, the Château is regarded as one of the finest jewels in the crown of France’s cultural heritage
The super roadster is limited to production of 99 units
Forged for the ultimate in automotive adventure, the W16 Mistral pays homage to one of the marque’s most elegant models, the Type 57 Grand Raid Usine Like that legendary model, the W16 Mistral sports the colors chosen by Ettore Bugatti for many of his personal cars, black and yellow,
The Mistral is the fastest roadster in the world
Yet, the roadster marks the last vehicle to use the W16 engine that was introduced with the Bugatti Veyron in 2005
NOVITEC X Ferrari
NOVITEC rose to the challenge of enabling a modern super sports car with plug in hybrid drive to deliver even better performance on the road The engine specialists developed special maps for the electronic management system of the four liter, twin turbo combustion engine
The combination of all NOVITEC high performance components bumps peak output of the combustion engine by 80 kW / 109 hp and peak torque by 118 Nm The 3 electric motors plus the tuned combustion engine’s 654 kW / 889 hp at 7,300 rpm add up to a system output of 1,109 hp
The NOVITEC tuned hybrid sports car accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2 4 seconds (original 2 5 seconds) and reaches 200 km/h in 6 5 seconds

The central NOVITEC spoiler and the detachable side sections on the front fascia produce additional downforce at high speeds
The carbon flaps, which route the airflow past the front wheel arches, add the streamlining finishing touches The ducktail spoiler and the diffuser at the rear ensure outstanding aerodynamic balance
They lower the ride height of the hybrid Ferrari by 30 mm at the front and by 25 mm at the rear axle
The final Aventador LP 780 4 Ultimae, exiting the gates ofAutomobili Lamborghini’s Sant Agata home for delivery to its Swiss owner, is a special Roadster
The left hand drive Aventador Ultimae Roadster pays homage to its V12 open top ancestor through a special Lamborghini Ad Personam project
The Ultimae’s body color is in a specially created color Azzuro Flake, replicating the original special color of the Miura while updating the glitter element for homologation purposes
The final Aventador signals the end of production for the Lamborghini V12 internal combustion engine and ushers the new era of electirc vehcles

Huracan Sterrato
According to the inititator Rouven Mohr, Automobili Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer, the goal was not so much to create an off road vehicle but rather an unprecedented super sports car for all surface conditions
The track width was increased on both axles:wide walled tires sat inside wider wheel arches with integrated airintakes
The wider tires with increased sidewalls were specifically developed to improve grip and shock absorption
The previous HuracanSterrato concept features the power of the V10 5 2l engine and the first Lamborghini super sports all terrain is to be unveiled at Art Basel in Miami Beach
Maro Engel beated the previous record for road legal production cars by a remarkable 8 seconds despite less than ideal track conditions
The Mercedes AMG ONE becomes the king of the Nürburgring Nordschleife: with an officially measured and notarised time of 6:35 183 minutes for rounding the 20 832 kilometre track, the hypercar with Formula 1 technology set a new record for road legal production vehicles as well as in the super sports car category
Technically, the record breaking vehicle had everything that the Mercedes AMG ONE offers as standard the hypercar brings Formula 1 hybrid drive technology from the racetrack to the road for the first time With one combustion engine and four electric motors, the E PERFORMANCE hybrid delivers a total of 782 kW (1,063 hp), with the top speed at 352 km/h
It features the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all wheel drive with a hybrid driven rear axle and electrically driven front axle with torque vectoring
For the record drive, the maximum camber values within the delivery tolerance were selected Maro Engel chose the “Race Plus” driving programme This means active, maximum possible aerodynamics, tight chassis tuning, vehicle lowering by 37 mm at the front axle and 30 mm at the rear axle and, full power from all motors The Drag Reduction System (DRS) is activated by the driver by pressing a button on the steering wheel This retracts the front louvres on the wings as well as the upper aero element of the two stage rear wing If the system detects deceleration or a certain degree of lateral acceleration, the aero elements extend again in a flash
The supercar equips a 1 6 litre V6 hybrid petrol engine with electrically assisted single turbocharging, mounted in mid engine position in front of the rear axle, revs up to 11,000 rpm
The two 120 kW electric motors on the front axle reach rotor speeds of up to 50,000 rpm They are each connected to the front wheels via a reduction gear The front axle, is thus driven purely electrically.
Luxury Italian carmaker Automobili Pininfarina has confirmed the Battista hyper GT’s performance credentials by revealing its record breaking official acceleration and braking figures for the first time

The Nevera was set into its top speed mode, creating an aerodynamic profile that balances drag and downforce to ensure stability at high speed
the Rimac Nevera produces 1,914 hp from 4 Rimac designed electric motors, which propel the hypercar from 0 60 mph in just 1 85 seconds (0 100 km/h in 1 93 seconds)
The Nevera is delivered to customers with a limited top speed of 219mph (352kph) but can achieve the 412kph (258mph) top speed in special customer events with the support from the Rimac team and under controlled conditions
As tires are under a huge amount of stress during such runs, most of the pre cautions are directed towards making sure that the tires are properly set up for such high speeds
Production of the Nevera is currently underway at Rimac’s HQ on the outskirts of Zagreb, Croatia, and the first cars are already with customers
