GTA Spano Challenges Ferrari

It is seldom that a car challenges the might of Ferrari and the GTA Spano is one such car. There is a brewing war between the Spanish and the Italian auto industry and the Ferrari and the GTA Span are in the middle of that war. The GTA Spano made a fitting debut in the Mediterranean coastal city of Valencia right where the European Grand Prix is held. One thing is certain though; car enthusiasts have not stopped speculating about this proud challenger ever since they knew of is existence.

The GTA Spano is not just another supercar even though it sports the generic supercar body. This supercar made of titanium, Kevlar and carbon is powered by an 8.3-Liter V10 engine producing 780 horsepower which allows it to sprint to a 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. The GTA Spano’s engine is matched with a seven-speed paddle shifter and it boasts of the latest Pirelli Pzero tires and wheels measuring 19 inches and coated in ultra low-profile rubber grip.

Expect the GTA Spano to be a rarity as only 99 units will be manufactured to the tune of $670,000. However, do not discount the possibility of a competition version considering its racing background.

Citroen Hypnos Hybrid

The Citroen Hypnos Hybrid concept, which debuted during the 2008 Paris Motor Show, may look plain on the outside but prepare for the mind and eye-boggling psychedelic interiors. This is one quirky auto with jewel-like seats and a double-helix center station styled like a DNA adorning the interior.

The Citroen Hypnos Hybrid concept is powered by a 50-mpg hybrid powertrain producing 200 horsepower. The psychedelic concept car should not come as a surprise considering that it carries a name identified in the Hellenic mythology as Hypnos the god of sleep. But as to whether or not this is a foreboding that the car will be a sleeper once it reaches production version has not been confirmed. The manufacturer or maybe the one who named this Citroen would have done better naming the car with a little more research since he would discover that Hypnos had four sons one of whom is named Morpheus or the god of dreams—this would have been more appropriate.

While the design and the name remain highly debatable the Citroen Hypnos Hybrid is a certified fuel-efficient auto with a low fuel consumption of 4.5 liter per 100 kilometer. It is also environment-friendly with just 120 g/km of CO2 emissions. It is equipped with the HY motion4 technology ensuring Citroen’s commitment to the environment without disregarding the thrill of driving.
