Saturday, June 26th, 2010 |

MINI will by 2011 a small SUV on the market called Countryman, time for a little preview!

Left Lane News had an impression of this future model, and the result is in the pictures above to admire. A while ago, at the Paris Motor Show in 2008 to be precise, we were already acquainted with the concept model of the Countryman, which then gets called Crossover Concept. The naming of the MINI SUV would indeed, in line with the Clubman, Countryman be.

Even though the Countryman particularly well on the other members of the MINI family, yet the skin completely different technique. So the Countryman on a new platform, which was made for a higher ride height and four-wheel drive. The basis of this platform is – how could it be otherwise – shared with the BMW X1. The engines were not the BMW family, but from cooperation with the PSA group result.

Perhaps, the Countryman on 4 full doors available, unlike the Clubman, which has only 3. In this way, confirming that the MINI Countryman not just a Clubman that is what is increased. The Countryman MINI MINI is suddenly the biggest ones ever built. Behind it would still make use of the trunk consisting of two parts, and also to be found in the MINI Clubman. The debut of the MINI Countryman would take place at the Geneva Motor Show 2011.

Lamborghini Madura

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 |

Slavche Tanevsky, a student at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, has created this futuristic Lamborghini design concept.

Dubbed the Madura (named after an Indonesian island famous for bull races), the concept was created – in collaboration with Lamborghini and Audi designers – for Lamborghini’s Raw Materials Project.

According to Tanevsky, “The Madura is a proposal for the first hybrid Lamborghini scheduled for 2016. Doing a car more efficient and more nature-friendly, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exciting, good-looking and fast. (But) in my opinion this new propulsion system should be represented on the looks of the car.”

The whole design of the Madura is sleeker, more focused, and more aggressive. Up front, the Madura features slim headlights (to emphasize the cars’ width), huge air intakes, and a curvaceous hood. Out back, the front-mounted hybrid powertrain allowed Tanevsky to create a maze of intricate lines which helps to give the car a unique appearance.
