DiMora Natalia SLS 2

Robert Bliss, the gentleman in charge of Strategic Operations for DiMora Motorcar was kind enough to send me a selection of renderings of the DiMora Natalia SLS 2. What you are looking at here is going to be two millions bucks of luxe with a V16 “Volcano” engine.

The car is being developed by Alfred DiMora and his management team based in California. DiMora is no stranger to custom built cars. He is responsible for two landmark neoclassics, the Clenet and the Sceptre (more on those in a future post). The Sceptre link has an excellent collection of build-up photos and sketches. One of DiMora’s other business is Star Bridge Systems, a company that builds supercomputers used by the likes of NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and the National Cancer Institute.

The formula is relatively simple: take one part neoclassic, mix in some supercomputer, toss in the lobby of an ultraluxe hotel and you have the DiMora Motorcar Natalia SLS 2. The car is still just a rendering backed up by an idea, but there are a multitude of exotic features being touted by DiMora Motorcar.

2008 MAYBACH - EXPENSIVE LUXURY CAR! - FRONT

Russo-Balt


Russia was unveiled a new concept car at the Auto-Show in Geneva. Russo-Balt is promoting a Russian-German luxury car concept, called Impression.

Russo-Balt was the first Russian carmaker who produce cars between 1909 and 1923. The brand “Russo-Balt” was resurrected in 2006 by a group of German and Russian investors.

Impression is a coupe with strong hints of European styling of the 1930s. The car is fitted with mechanical parts of Mercedes CL63 AMG.

The new car will be produced by Germany’s Gerg GmbH at a rate of two to three cars a year with a selling price of about 1.5 million euros.

This car cost $1,000,000 to build because of the level of luxury and concept features in it. However, the bit that intersts me, is that the engine block itself is cut from a solid block of aluminum heres a pic.

Now isn't that one great looking engine. Its a 13.6 liter, V16 engine, that delivers 1000 bhp. And has a really cool feature called Displacement on Demand, which automatically shuts down half of the cylinders when they're not needed, to save fuel, and reactivates them when they are needed, like during fast acceleration
