Lumma Design BMW CLR X 650 GT

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

The tuning folks over at Lumma Design have announced the world premiere of the new BMW X6-based CLR X 650 GT at the Geneva Auto Salon which opens up on March 3. As with all tuning proposals from the German firm, the BMW CLR X 650 GT’s styling is a case of love it or loathe it. The aerodynamic pack adorns the X6 with several components including a new front bumper with a carbon fiber lip spoiler, wider fenders, side skirts, new rear bumper and a carbon fiber boot wing.

Additionally, the roof is finished in a black matt color while the X6 rides on 23-inch bicolor alloy wheels shod in high performance tires size 315/25-23. Other components offered include lowered suspension (35mm) and while the company also upgrades the X6’s interior with performance-sports seats upholstered with leather and suede and a sport steering wheel with shift indicator display.

Perana Z-One by Zagato Built in South Africa

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Today’s tantalizing Geneva teaser comes courtesy of the Perana Z-One. Designed by Zagato in conjunction with a new South African manufacturer called the Perana Performance Group, the Z-One will be the next Zagato design to hit the streets as a production car.

The teaser photos that have been released show a graceful and powerful sports coupe in the classic long-hood, short-deck tradition, and there’s not a boring line on this car. The side sculpting and “double-bubble” roof that characterize Zagato’s designs are evident, and performance enthusiasts can expect a lightweight body with excellent weight distribution. The Z-One won’t be all show and no go, either, as it’s reportedly powered by a 6.2 liter LS3 Corvette V8. 0-62 mph times of under four seconds have been reported, though full disclosure will have to wait a couple of weeks until the car’s official introduction.

Like many past Zagato designs including the Aston Martin DB7 Zagato and V8 Zagato, the Z-One will go into limited production. Unlike past Zagato limited editions which had model runs of 99 units, the Z-One will see 999 copies, with production possibly starting as soon as this summer. The MSRP for a production version in South Africa is expected to be set at about R750,000 (approximately $115,400).
