car Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster LP640

At the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show Lamborghini is unveiling the new version of the Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster. The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster benefits from the same extensive modifications to the bodywork and mechanics as the LP640 Coupé.
From the official Press Release:
Design
Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster LP640

In their re-interpretation of the Roadster, the designers of the Lamborghini Centro Stile have remained true to the original style principles of purism, sportiness and functionality. As with the Coupé it has now assumed a more aggressive appearance, a substantial influence being the new front and rear bumpers.

On the latter there is a new rear diffuser, in which the exhaust system is integrated within a tailpipe. The rear lights are also new. The design of the sides is asymmetrical: whilst the area behind the air inlet on the right is almost closed, on the left there is a large opening for the ventilation of the oil cooler.

Changes to the rear-view mirror make the Murciélago Roadster more aerodynamic, with other features including new windscreen wipers and the option of new Hermera alloy wheels.

Renault New Mégane

The official images and information released by Renault for the New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet. The model will debut at Geneva and will feature a large foldable black glass roof and satin chrome trims. The launch is expected for next spring.

Set to debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet completes the renewal of the new Renaul Mégane family with the sixth body type.

Like its predecessor, the new model will feature a large, folding glass roof, with an unruffled open-top motoring experience thanks to the forward position of the windscreen and a fixed glass wind deflector situated behind the rear head restraints.

The roof has a high-gloss black glass finish which contrasts with contrasts with the satin-effect chrome windscreen frame. The fully-automatic, electro-hydraulic opening mechanism of the two-part roof enables the driver to lower the top in just 21 seconds.

Among the distinctive styling cues are the sweep of the waistline and the dark red taillights, which feature a linear lighting pattern and LED brake lights to provide a very personal lighting signature.

The interior layout is available with three choices of trim, which range from dark charcoal and light beige to the charcoal and red two-tone finish with leather seats.

The floating dashboard is identical to that of New Mégane Hatchback, while the seats offer additional lateral support, and the 'butterfly wing' door trim panel is specific to New Mégane Coupé- Cabriolet.

The standard folding glass hard roof has a transparent glazed area of 0.47 sq. metres to ensure a brightly lit cabin and a sensation of space and freedom.

The torsional rigidity of the bodyshell has been uprated by 80 per cent compared with Mégane II Coupé-Cabriolet in order to match the increased stiffness of the suspension and even greater handling precision.

New Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet will be launched in Spring 2010 with a choice of seven gasoline and diesel powertrain configurations.

The extensive range of equipment will include tire pressure monitoring system, directional bi-Xenon headlamps with cornering dipped beams, automatic headlamp activation, automatic windscreen wiper activation, cruise control with speed limiter. Electronic driving adis will inclide ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, Emergency brake assist and ESC with understeer control.

car New Opel Meriva

The official design sketches released by Opel for its new Meriva, the compact monocab set to debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and characterized by a contemporary design with rear-hinged doors and a focus on versatility and flexible use of space.

After exploring automobile on-board versatility with the compact seven-seater Zafira in 1999, Opel created a new market segment for small, affordable monocabs when it launched the first generation Opel Meriva in 2003.

With its FlexSpace rear-seating concept, high seating position and roomy cabin, the Opel Meriva was big on flexibility yet small in size.

On the new  Opel Meriva the FlexSpace system has been further developed to become more intuitive and easier to use.

The new model also introduces FlexDoors, innovative rear-hinged rear doors that facilitate access to its cabin – a premiere for a volume manufacturer.

The interior storage space is enhanced by a flexible center console, as well as the FlexFix system - the integrated rear bicycle carrier that is stored like a drawer under the luggage compartment.

Aesthetically there are many details that remind of the Opel Insignia such as the chrome grille or the outline drawn on the doors and wheel arches.

Also, several details remind of the new Opel Astra, including the shape of the headlights and tail-lights. Another distinctive design element is the panoramic glass roof which is available as an option and gives the cabin extra light.
