Koenigsegg CCXR By EVO Magazine



THE CCXR - THE FIRST GREEN SUPERCAR

The CCXR will take you to an entirely new level of performance. It is a derivative of the CCX, with a highly modified engine that can run on E85 and E100 Biofuel as well as normal 98 octane petrol (Europe). When run on regular petrol, the 4.7 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine delivers 806 Bhp, but this figure rises to an astonishing 1018 Bhp when the car is run on E85 Biofuel.

The CCXR is the first green supercar in the world and thereby sets a great example for others to follow. Since the ethanol in E85 fuel has a much higher octane rating and internal cooling capacity, the engine can run with higher compression, boost pressure and more spark advance compared to the normal petrol-fuelled CCX, whilst still maintaining the same exhaust temperature.

Mazda Furai Concept - (Italian)



This concept recovers the chassis of the Courage C65 with which Mazda covered the series ALMS only two seasons ago, and the rotary engine of three rotors and 450 CV that distinguishes it from any other present vehicle on the tracks.



The Furai recaptures the language of design of the Nagare (a Japanese word that means " fluency ") and furthermore, it incorporates a concept based on the models of competition from the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).



Mazda Furai is staring at the future and at the environment, which in this case materializes in the use of ethanol (E100), produced by BP







In words of Franz von Holzhausen, the Director of Design of Mazda North America, " Mazda Furai blurs deliberately form the line that traditionally has separated the vehicles of street from the race track vehicles. Historically, a breach has always existed between the models of competition and the vehicles of series with high services - the so-called supercars-, which emulate in the real world the competition models. The Furai reduces this breach as no other vehicle has done it before. "
