Dimitris Korres may not be a famous name in the auto industry these days, but give it some time and he just might be more than that. The Greek architect and inventor is about ready to showcase his first venture into the auto industry.
The Korres Project 4.
If you’re wondering what that is, the Project 4 is a supercar and a pretty impressive one at that.
The full details about the Project 4 will be unveiled soon in Greece, but there’s already a steady amount of information that’s been disclosed to the public. Chief among them is the powertrain, which takes the form of a 7.0-liter naturally aspirated engine that produces an impressive 505 horsepower, allowing it to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph.
Translated in any language, those numbers are impressive across the board.
Another important bit of information about the Project 4 is its dimensions. It’s 3,920 mm (154.3 inches) long, 1,960 mm (77.2 inches) wide, and 1,250 mm (49.2 inches) tall with a wheelbase of 2,560 mm (100.8 inches). Taken all together, the Project 4 weighs 1,600 kg (3,527 pounds).
Be sure to check back here in the coming days. We’ll have the full details of the Korres Project 4 as soon as it makes its public debut.
2014 Volvo XC60 R-Design
Under the hood the Volvo XC60 R-Design offers the same engines as the existing lineup of the model with the exception of the diesel. You may choose between the 3.0 liter, V6, petrol turbo with an output of 325 HP or opt for the Polestar software upgrade that fine tunes the engine and increases the horsepower to 329 HP.
Along with a more powerful engine, the Polestar upgrade also affords you with a flashy gas pedal. You will benefit from increased acceleration from 0-60 MPH in 6.9 seconds.
The powertrain is combined with an automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The new chassis is firmer and lower than its predecessors. Coupled with the existing electronic control systems such as the Engine Drag Control and Advanced Stability Control, this car handles extremely well.
2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT
The XKR-S GT is engineered with some of the most advanced aerodynamic features known in the industry. This has resulted in a car that is uncannily responsive to the driver. To compliment the new body design, it comes with a super-charged 5.0 liter V-8 engine and a six-speed transmission.
All of these features combine to give the XKR-S GT the ability to go from 0 to 60 in a neck-snapping 3.9 seconds with the top speed of 186 mph, or 300 km/h.
Just as impressive as the acceleration is the revolutionary carbon ceramic braking system of the XKR-S GT. Such a system has never before been engineered for a Jaguar automobile.
2014 Buick LaCrosse
As the 2014 Buick LaCrosse approaches, the first thing you will notice is the attractive waterfall grille. The Buick logo is displayed proudly and prominently in its center. Then in the evening your attention may be drawn to the new elegantly styled wing shaped LED headlamps. Day or night you can't miss the newly sculpted hood.
The rear is accentuated with chrome all across the bottom portion of the trunk lid. The chrome strip is a continues from the top of the wraparound LED taillights. Once again the Buick logo is featured on the center rear deck which is topped off with an integrated rear spoiler.
The spoiler and LED tail lamps are both distinctive and functional. The spoiler increases the cars aerodynamics and the LED brake lights illuminate instantaneously.
2014 Cadillac CTS
After a restrained reception in 2008, the 2014 Cadillac CTS debut was greeted enthusiastically as the premier mid size luxury sedan that has grown in popularity over the past 6 years.
In its third generation, the rear drive CTS will be the lightest vehicle in its market segment, offering the best handling vehicle available in its class. This American beauty will be built in Lansing, Michigan beginning this fall.
Under the hood you'll find the same 3.6 liter V6 that came with the second generation Cadillac CTS. This is a good thing as the 321 HP is plenty of power to pull this "carriage" with superb handling characteristics.
An economy 2.0 liter V4 is expected to be offered and could wind up as standard, depending upon production costs and customer feedback. Either engine will come with an 8 speed paddle-shift automatic transmission.
