A few days ago, the SV 9 Competizione was first shown in public. Built by San Francisco based SV Motor Company, the new two-seater coupe combines American brawl with a designer suit. It is based on a C6 Corvette and features a custom carbon fiber body. The bespoke styling is clearly influenced by the Italian Grand Tourers. With its lightweight body and improved engine output, the SV 9 also promises better performance figures compared to the Corvette it is based on. Only 1,000 examples are planned to be produced and with numerous color, trim and wheel options it is unlikely that any two of them will be alike. The 450 bhp SV 9 Competizione will be officially launched at the Concorso Italiano car show, which is part of the packed Monterey Motoring week.
German Porsche tuner RUF have revealed the first pictures of the RT 12 S. Based on the current 911 Turbo, the new RUF features a 685 bhp version of the twin-turbo flat-6 engine. It can be delivered with a choice of two- and four-wheel drive. Like most RUFs, the RT 12 S also sports subtle styling tweaks.
At the recent 'Mustang Week' event organized by the SVT Owners Association Saleen launched their very first product based on the heavily revised 2010 Mustang. Using the V8-engined GT model as a base, the American specialists have created the 435S. As the name suggests the Saleen features a supercharged engine that produces a hefty 435 bhp. The car also boasts modified suspension and restyled exterior.
At a big event yesterday Nissan took the wraps of their very first all-electric vehicle. Dubbed the Leaf, it opens a new 'green' chapter for the Japanese vehicles. Unlike most other 'green' vehicles, the Leaf is exclusively powered by electricity. The batteries stored under the floor are potent enough to give the Nissan a range of over 160 km, which is big enough for the daily commute. The Leaf is set to hit the global streets towards the end of next year.
