  • 08 February 2012: 2012 MCLAREN MP4-12C: Known for impressive racing cars, McLaren has released their second-ever roadgoing automobile, the magnificent McLaren MP4-12C. Appearing at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, the mid-engine, two passenger sports car creates 592 horsepower and 443 lb. ft. of torque from the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. All that power is directed to the 20-inch rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. Weight-saving is an obsession at McLaren, starting with the compact downsized engine, which is combined with the new one-piece MonoCell cabon fiber composite chassis. The close position of the driver and passenger allows for a narrower, lighter body while giving improved visibility with a clearer perception of the car’s extremities. Inside the cockpit, the airbags, steering column and a significant number of interior components all mount to a single one-piece pressure die cast magnesium beam that is 75 percent lighter than steel. With its low rate of weight to high horsepower/torque, the McLaren MP4-12C is capable of 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, and can reach 205 mph top speed, all for an MSRP of $229,000.

  • 12 February 2015: Displayed by female model - 2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06: Chevrolet’s 2015 Corvette Z06 enters supercar territory with race-proven design, advanced technologies and world-class performance. The Corvette Z06 is the most capable, world-class Corvette model, ever. It’s the first Z06 since 1963 offered in coupe and convertible models. This is the first Corvette Z06 to offer supercharged engine, and thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. The heart of the 2015 Corvette Z06 is the all-new LT4 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine, expected to deliver an estimated 625 horsepower and massive 635 lb-ft of torque to the rear-wheel drive. Standard seven-speed manual transmission includes the Active Rev Match feature, or there is an all-new eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission designed to enhance both performance and MPGs.  Strap-in tightly, as the Z06 blasts from 0-to-60 mph in 2.95 seconds with the eight-speed automatic and 3.2 secs. with the seven-speed shifter. To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages the same trio of advanced technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray: Direct injection, Active Fuel Management, or cylinder deactivation, and continuously variable valve timing. These technologies – combined with the fuel-efficient multi-speed transmissions, aerodynamic design and lightweight construction – help make the new Z06 surprisingly fuel efficient. The 2015 Corvette Z06 with the available Z07 package adds larger winglets to the carbon front splitter, along with an adjustable, see-through center section on the rear spoiler for track use; with this package, the Corvette Z06 delivers the most amount of aerodynamic downforce of any production car that GM has tested.<br />

  • 06 February 2005:  Jeep’s Hurricane concept must be the most maneuverable and powerful 4x4 ever built. Equipped with two 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engines: one in the front and one in the back, there was a total of 670 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque available on demand. Two modes of automated four-wheel steering were used, first, the traditional with rear tires turning in the opposite direction of the front. A second mode turned all four-wheels in the same direction for nimble crab-like steering. With 14.3 inches of ground clearance, and 37-inch tall tires, there wasn’t much that the Hurricane couldn’t climb. The black one-piece structural carbon fiber body also formed the chassis, plus suspension and power train were mounted directly to the body. Chrysler Group Multi-Displacement System (MDS) enabled the Hurricane to alternate between 4-, 8-, 12- or 16-cylinders and clock 0-60 mph in less than five-seconds.<br />

  • 12 February 2015:  2015 LEXUS RC F: Lexus unleashes a major attraction in the Lexus display at the 107th annual Chicago Auto Show, Feb.14-22, 2015. It is the Lexus RC F, a low-slung, athletic coupe for MY2015, designed and engineered to support the most powerful V-8 performance car ever developed by Lexus. Backing up that claim is a 5.0-liter normally aspirated V-8 engine with more than 450 horsepower and more than 383 pound feet of torque. A first for Lexus, this eight-cylinder engine includes Atkinson and Otto cycle to optimize fuel efficiency and performance. Atkinson optimizes fuel efficiency at lower speeds and Otto cycle kicks in when needed for performance. The power is managed by an eight-speed transmission. To help optimize driving dynamics the RC F features an active wing like that on the LFA to increase downforce and improve grip over the rear 19-inch wheels. The hood includes a functional vent to decrease aerodynamic lift and of course there’s our most expressive spindle grille yet. In addition the RC F includes a Torque Vectoring Differential. As opposed to systems that react to loss of traction like ABS our Torque Vectoring Differential proactively manages traction in, through and out of corners. Inside, the instrument panel inspired by the LFA includes a seven-inch navigation screen. You'll find a touchpad interface. It's a Lexus first and works much like a touchpad on a laptop or mobile device. Swipe your finger over the touchpad to operate systems like climate control, navigation and media selections.<br />

Matching the dramatic exterior is a new 6.2 liter (376 cubic inch) LT1 V-8 engine that pumps out 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels. Consumers have their choice of a six-speed paddle-shift automatic or seven-speed manual gearbox with "Active Rev Match" that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. Either way, we're talking 0-to-60 mph in less than four seconds. For 2014, the latest Corvette shares only two parts with the previous generation model. Underneath is an all-new frame structure and chassis that helped shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance. Lightweight features include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels. Slide into the cockpit composed of premium materials, smaller-diameter steering wheel, standard dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens and available color head-up display. There are two new seat choices - each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. You can see the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe in Chicago from Feb. 9th-18th, or wait until they roll into Chevrolet dealerships the third quarter of 2013.

  • 06 February 2005:  Jeep’s Hurricane concept must be the most maneuverable and powerful 4x4 ever built. Equipped with two 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engines: one in the front and one in the back, there was a total of 670 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque available on demand. Two modes of automated four-wheel steering were used, first, the traditional with rear tires turning in the opposite direction of the front. A second mode turned all four-wheels in the same direction for nimble crab-like steering. With 14.3 inches of ground clearance, and 37-inch tall tires, there wasn’t much that the Hurricane couldn’t climb. The black one-piece structural carbon fiber body also formed the chassis, plus suspension and power train were mounted directly to the body. Chrysler Group Multi-Displacement System (MDS) enabled the Hurricane to alternate between 4-, 8-, 12- or 16-cylinders and clock 0-60 mph in less than five-seconds.<br />
