Mercedes now is on the project for new supercar. This is the McLaren prototype which is totally adopt Porche 911 engine but the smaller one. Based on the issued, this baby McLaren will carry 450 hp 6.2-liter Mercedes-based engine with 0 to 60 time of 4.5 seconds. The car will be priced at $115,000 respectively, its still a concept so probably hit the street next two years. But Mercedes will show off it next year.

Magna Steyr, Austrian-based contracted vehicle manufacturer, present the Mila EV at Geneva this week, a car touted as the infinitely applicable to the everyday. And that starts in all its relevance with the drivetrain but equally importantly with its role as a template. That template makes the Mila EV a fully integrated electric vehicle platform suitable for adaptation by manufacturers in pursuit of their own product, drive and design strategies.

Home to the expertise in system integration built up over many years, complete-systems provider Magna Steyr of Magna International, Canada, offer the industry a platform requiring no further development and a concept optimised for alternative drive technology, be it electric power or natural gas, fuel cells or hybrid drive.

Last year, Italy’s I.DE.A Institute created a special concept roadster in 30 days to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary and now they have announced plans to introduce an updated version at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.

The updated ERA concept has an interesting exterior design that mixes wavy surfaces with a bold front-end and a minuscule windscreen. Little else is known about the concept, but it is supposed to feature gull-wing doors and a two-tier trunk. It rides on a tube-frame chassis which can be seen from the car’s interior. From the images that were released, it appears that there is no engine in the concept as there doesn’t seem to be anything under the hood but nothing is certain as of yet.

The I.DE.A Institute has a long history of designing some pretty bland vehicles, such as the Fiat VSS and Tipo, Nissan’s Terrano II and the Daihatsu Move, so it’s nice to see them creating something interesting for a change.
