2012 Mosler Raptor GTR

<img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="376" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />One of the key points to this new supercar, is its 838 horsepower, twin turbo, 7.0 liter V-8. Unique to the RaptorGTR is its externally exposed, visible turbo’s, which were inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighting jet. The result of this configuration is one hell of a soundtrack for the driver. There will be a limited number of these ultra rare beasts on the to-build list of Mosler, so if you’ve been <em>really</em> good all year, it just might be worth the effort to put this $700,000 supercar on your Christmas list.<span id="more-681"></span><br />Of course, if you really want your car to be successful, you also have to address a few other necessities, such as power-to-weight ratio, handling, and safety. You aren’t going to enjoy your hypercar very long if you’re dead.<br />The Raptor has an ultra-light curb weight of just 2580 lbs, which means that its power-to-weight ratio is about 36 percent better than the 987 hp / 4,162 lb Bugatti Veyron. Taking advantage of its low ground clearance, low weight, and Nitto NT05R’s, the RaptorGTR can yield about 1.4 g’s of lateral grip. Mosler has also taken the initiative to incorporate a LeMans Prototype central carbon-fiber safety cell into the chasis, to help absorb the impact of any unfortunate run-in with an inanimate object.<br />For an extra $70,000 and a green light from a performance driving school, you can purchase an upgrade for the RaptorGTR (CubeyGTR Package), which includes a 1212 hike in horsepower, a newly designed front end, added air ducts to the intercooler, and an additional radiator. There will only be 12 of these special editions produced for 2012, and these will have a 50 percent better power-to-weight ratio to that of the Bugatti Veyron, and that’s at half the price.<br />Check out the intro video below, set to the release of the new song by Abby Cubey, called, <em>Feel My Fire</em>. If you listen close, you can hear the whoosh of the twin turbo’s that were made into an instrument for this special occasion.<br /><br /><img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="376" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package-2.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="400" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package-3.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="400" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package-4.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="440" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package-5.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="520" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package-6.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 Mosler Raptor GTR" height="400" src="http://www.topcarrating.com/mosler/2012-mosler-raptor-gtr-cubey-gtr-package-7.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br /><table bgcolor="#786d60" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" style="height: 131px; width: 644px;"> <tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="right">price</div></td><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="center">453000 <abbr title="approximate cost in U.S. dollars">$</abbr></div></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="right">top speed</div></td><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-off"><div align="center" class="rating-on">386 <abbr title="kilometres per hour">km/h</abbr>, 240 <abbr title="miles per hour">mph</abbr></div></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="right">power & torque</div></td><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="center">838 <abbr title="horsepower">hp</abbr>, 616 <abbr title="kilowatts">kW</abbr><br /><span class="car-rpm-on"><abbr title="newton-metres">Nm</abbr> @ <abbr title="revolutions per minute">rpm</abbr></span></div></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="right">0-100 km/h, 0-62 mph.</div></td><td bgcolor="#625a4f" class="rating-on"><div align="center">2.6 seconds</div></td></tr></tbody></table>

2012 BMW Zagato Coupé (Part Two)

<img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035627.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />The two partners settled on a realistic and applied approach to the development of the BMW Zagato Coupé. "Zagato has always provided its customers with ready-to-drive cars which can be sent into action on the road or race track without further ado – and the BMW Zagato Coupé fits the same template," says Dr Andrea Zagato, who represents the third generation of his family to sit at the helm of the company. To this end, the car is registered for road use and meets all the legal requirements worldwide. "It is relatively easy to build a design study which is not intended for use on the road. Not having to meet any stipulations governing crash safety or pedestrian protection opens up a host of new avenues in terms of design," he adds. "The challenge lies in injecting the emotional appeal of a concept car into a road-legal machine. And we think we have succeeded in doing just that with the BMW Zagato Coupé." Indeed, the new creation has already cut a "bella figura" at high speeds during testing on the BMW test track.<br />Both partners can look back on a rich heritage, sharing as they do a passion for cars that stretches back over 80 years. Added to which, Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice-President BMW Group Design, and Andrea Zagato are long-time appreciators of each other's work; indeed, Zagato took home the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Design Award in both 2010 and 2011. However, this collaboration is about more than mutual respect.<br />Zagato chief designer Norihiko Harada and van Hooydonk have been friends for many years, so when Andrea Zagato proposed a collaboration, it wasn't long before the decision was made to build a car at Zagato that embodies the two companies' passion for cars.<br /><br /><img height="411" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035654.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035489.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035490.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035491.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035487.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035485.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035486.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img height="426" src="http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2841/1035488.jpg" width="640" /><br /><br />

The premiere in question will see the time-honoured Milanese coachbuilder Zagato team up with BMW to unveil the result of a unique collaboration: the BMW Zagato Coupé.</span><br />Zagato has worked in close collaboration to create an exciting and emotionally charged coupé in the finest tradition of automotive workmanship. The BMW Zagato Coupé embodies the unbridled fascination of cars and fuses the design DNA of the two companies into a fresh and desinctive whole. This one-off model is the product of many hours of skilled hand-craftsmanship and breathes new life into the tradition of coachbuilding.<br />It is hard to think of a better occasion for the premiere than the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, one of the most exclusive events in the world of classic cars and motorcycles. The vehicles shown on the banks of Lake Como are hand-picked, the number of entrants limited and the surroundings simply without comparison. The Concorso began as a get-together of coachbuilders presenting one-off hand-built creations, and the BMW Zagato Coupé follows very much in that tradition.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="468" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup2.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="463" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup3.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="480" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup4.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="430" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup5.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="422" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup6.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="480" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup10.jpg" width="640" /><br /><img alt="2012 BMW Zagato Coupé" height="480" src="http://www.supercars.net/carpics/5741/2012_BMW_ZagatoCoup11.jpg" width="640" />
