Jeep - Hurricane

The two seats, no doors interior surrounds the occupants with an exposed carbon fiber and polished aluminum. The suspension and powertrain are mounted directly to the body. It measures some 108.1 inches of wheelbase, a width of 80.0 inches, and a height of 68.2 inches. It holds a five speed automatic transmission system, as well as wheels measuring 20 x 10 inches. The Hurricane 14.3 inches of ground clearance, 20 inches of suspension travel, and incredible approach/departure angles of 64.0 /86.7 degrees makes it not the most comfortable and luxurious off road vehicle, but the most functional one.

The second thing that makes this car so perfect is its engine, actually engines. Yes, the Jeep Hurricane is powered by two real American muscle 5.7-liter HEMI engines, one in the front and one in the back. Those two engines generate a total of 670 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. Depending on the driver’s needs the Hurricane the engines are using 16, 12, 8 or 4 cylinders.

that offers the best performance and maneuverability. This marvel of engineering offers a multiple steering modes using four-wheel independent steering, that means that each wheel can turn separately from the others. In the standard steering mode, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, which tightens the turning radius and makes for more accurate steering. In the second mode, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels The third and maybe the most exceptional feature of the Hurricane is the steering system, meaning the Hurricane can move to the side without changing the direction that it faces. The third mode, utilizing the "T-Box Zero Steer" mechanism, allows all four wheels to "toe-in" and changes the drive direction to each wheel so that they alternate making the Hurricane to rotate in place.

Alpha-Romeo - GT

The Alfa GT, a new sports coupé derived from the Alfa 156 and indisputable star of the recent Geneva and Frankfurt Motor Shows, is due to go on sale at the end of the year. The model, designed by the Bertone Style Centre, will be appreciated for its original, pleasing styling that promises all the satisfaction of a sporty drive with full respect for brand traditions.

The Alfa GT also succeeds in packing the results of Alfa’s superlative engineering heritage into a shape inspired by a sense of style and flair that could only be Italian. The stylists were also able to call on a great Alfa Romeo tradition that has brought us models that remain benchmarks for the category: from the 1900 SS to the Giulietta Sprint, from the Alfetta to the Giulia Sprint.

With a length of 4.48 metres, width of 1.76 metres and a height of 1.37 metres, the Alfa GT Coupé is aggressive and compact (its wheelbase is 2596 millimetres), with a shape marked by certain distinctive traits that define its strong personality and render it immediately recognisable as an Alfa. Hence the designers’ decision to go for smooth, clean motifs and shapes marked by an unmistakable sense of Italian flair. The result is a strong, spare front end dominated by an Alfa Romeo family resemblance encapsulated by the distinctive three-lobed motif bearing a shield that is slightly larger in size than at present. The entire car appears to grow from this point to combine a slight edge of styling aggression with outstanding elegance of form.
