At launch, customers can choose from a <span style="font-weight: bold;">V6 or V8</span> with their choice of <span style="font-weight: bold;">coupe</span>, convertible or<span style="font-weight: bold;"> innovative glass roof</span>, plus several new options and features delivering the opportunity for customers to personalize their cleaner, meaner-looking Mustangs.</div><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419911653919564354" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Szdk7u3gIkI/AAAAAAAABkA/HvgbUwAobwQ/s400/2010-Ford-Mustang-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford Mustang Sports Car 4.6-liter V8 Engine</span></div><br />"The best Mustangs have always been the ones that connect young America with the spirit of the times - and the 2010 does exactly that," said <span style="font-weight: bold;">J Mays,</span> Ford's group vice president of Design. "The new Ford Mustang is close to the magnetic center of the original, fully loaded with the swagger you'd expect, but with modern refinement and attention to detail like you've never seen in a muscle car."<br />It starts with the more aggressive grille, punctuated with the first new Mustang emblem since the <span style="font-weight: bold;">car's</span> introduction in 1964. Both the V6 and <span style="font-weight: bold;">GT</span> have brand-new sculptured front-end <span style="font-weight: bold;">designs unique</span> to each model. The headlamps and turn indicators, now integrated into one unit, are modern interpretations inspired by the 1970 Ford Mustang. On the V6, the fog lamps are located on the lower fascia, while on the GT, the fog lamps are again located in the upper grille - but are smaller than the outgoing model, similar to the original lamps of the 1967-68 models that inspired them.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The exterior sheet metal, except for the fast-back roofline, is all new for 2010. At the front, the new headlamps, lower fascias, fenders and grille are capped by a <span style="font-weight: bold;">powerdome</span> hood that adds to the muscular appearance while functionally allowing for enhanced air cooling of the engine. Mustang's washer-fluid nozzles are tucked into the cowl, while the antenna has been moved to the rear, both of which create a cleaner appearance while also reducing wind noise. The rear end design features aggressively angled rear corners, a sculptured decklid and prominent rear badge. A rear-view camera incorporated into the spoiler is available on some models.</div><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419911654125190658" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Szdk7vohvgI/AAAAAAAABj4/kNzu1aL5Y04/s400/2010-Ford-Mustang-Sports-Car-3.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford Mustang Sports Car 4.6-liter V8 Engine</span></div><br />Cleverly combining modern technology with Ford Mustang heritage is a signature of the 2010 model, in terms of both design and engineering. The wheel-and-tire combinations are 1 inch bigger across the board, ranging from 17 to 19 inches, which helps improve handling and braking. The shocks have been retuned on all models as well. The 2010 Ford Mustang <span style="font-weight: bold;">4.6-liter V8</span> benefits from innovations from the popular Ford Mustang Bullitt model. Power has increased to <span style="font-weight: bold;">315 horsepower.</span> "It runs on regular gasoline, but if you put in premium it has adaptive calibration that will give you even better mid-range torque," Barnes said, adding that Easy Fuel™, Ford's innovative capless fuel system, is standard on all models. "It's an upgrade to the most-robust, most-accessorized engine in the marketplace today," Randle added. "No one has the reliability, no one has the upgraded options. This is a fantastic engine, proven on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">race track</span>, the drag strip and on the highway."<br />AdvanceTrac™ Electronic Stability Control (<span style="font-weight: bold;">ESC</span>) is now standard and complements Mustang's all-speed traction control and anti-lock braking system (<span style="font-weight: bold;">ABS</span>). In addition to all of the design and driving dynamics improvements, the 2010 Ford Mustang is engineered to maintain its top government safety ratings. Standard safety equipment includes: dual stage front driver and passenger air bags; front seat-mounted side air bags; and, Ford's Personal Safety System.<br />The powerful new one-piece instrument panel design is crafted in seamless soft-touch TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) skin fully encompassing available genuine aluminum-finish panels. Mustang's chromed-ringed gauges and dual-vane air register vents are precisely crafted and positioned.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419911643602219490" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Szdk7Ibp8eI/AAAAAAAABjw/W8OhZ40xXb8/s400/2010-Ford-Mustang-Sports-Car-4.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford Mustang Sports Car 4.6-liter V8 Engine</span></div><br />With a completely redone exterior that echoes the classic Mustang designs of the past, an interior featuring world-class materials, numerous technology upgrades and an improved driving experience, the 2010 Ford Mustang is poised to become the latest classic in the proud line of Ford's iconic American muscle car.<br />From the V6 to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shelby GT500</span>, the goal was to make each model appear even more sculpted than its predecessor. The result is a lineup of iconic cars that maintain their identity in a contemporary way. Each classic design element - the grille shape, the "hockey stick,' the hop up into the rear haunch, the quarter-glass window, the three-bar tail lamp, the center-mounted gas cap - is modernized in a way that lends the new car even more presence and character. The aggressive look is enhanced by larger grille openings flanked by slimmer headlamps, which now incorporate integrated turn indicators.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419911640973086130" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Szdk6-o0jbI/AAAAAAAABjo/NpP8Uekt0l0/s400/2010-Ford-Mustang-Sports-Car-5.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford Mustang Sports Car 4.6-liter V8 Engine</span></div><br />The team further enhanced the agile design by stripping away unnecessary clutter. That included minimizing overhangs, eliminating the rear key-hole cylinder, chamfering the rear corner and simplifying the pedestal spoilers to a more compact design. The antenna, previously on the front fender, is now much shorter and relocated to the rear of the 2010 Ford Mustang. The result is a clean, sporty design that looks smart and efficient.<br />Another inherited and distinctly identifiable Ford Mustang cue comes in the form of the tri-bar tail lamps. The three individual red chambers, each lit sequentially by a single Luxion LED, are separated by two clear vertical back-up elements, ensuring the tri-bar look is recognized in lit or unlit conditions. The sequential illumination of each chamber is a unique and important characteristic of the 2010 Mustang's identity.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419911636110644738" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Szdk6shhlgI/AAAAAAAABjg/hPaA5taT1qY/s400/2010-Ford-Mustang-Sports-Car-6.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford Mustang Sports Car 4.6-liter V8 Engine</span></div><br />Extensive improvements to the next-generation Ford Mustang, readily apparent on the exterior design and interior content and material upgrades, will be felt in the ride and handling of the 2010 model. Taking a cue from the successful Mustang Bullitt and Ford Racing vehicles, many of those enhancements are carried through the full Ford Mustang lineup.<br />Tires are increased by an inch across the Ford Mustang line, with 17-inch tires standard on the V6 and 18-inch tires standard on the V8. A 19-inch Pirelli Summer tire is late available as an option for those seeking higher performance. Design and engineering teams spent a lot of time honing the aerodynamics of the 2010 Ford Mustang, ensuring that both the <span style="font-weight: bold;">aerodynamic drag</span> and lift balance were improved for better overall <span style="font-weight: bold;">efficiency.</span></div>

The <span style="font-weight: bold;">“100th Anniversary Weekend”</span> in Molsheim in September was the platform for a glimpse into the future which might look like the Bugatti 16 C Galibier concept – intended to be the most exclusive, elegant and powerful four door automobile in the world.</div><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417888888796302530" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/SzA1PTk9TMI/AAAAAAAABdk/cM06QcLgmPM/s400/2009-Bugatti-Veyron-Centenary-Sports-Car-5.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2009 Veyron Centenary Bugatti Sports Car<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Building on the marque's core values of « Art - Forme - Technique » , Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has created the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire, a unique model to celebrate the hundred year old history of the company.

This is the first time that the GT90 Concept has ever been publicly for sale at auction, and RM claims that it is in "excellent running condition, having been properly stored and maintained over the year."

The GT90 draws from the design cues of its heritage and pays homage to the famed <span style="font-weight: bold;">Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s</span> of the 1960s, which were created after the failed attempt by Ford to buy out<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Ferrari.</span><br />At a development cost in the neighborhood of $3 million, the GT90 was certainly worthy of pulling styling cues from the original <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ford GTs</span>, and although it was never meant for production, it was built according to a Ford press release as a "test bed for technology, engineering and <span style="font-weight: bold;">design concepts</span>, and driver-oriented features that eventually may be used in Ford production vehicles."<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Officially unveiled to the public in January 1995 at the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Auto Show,</span> the GT90 is finished in bright white with a bright blue and carbon fiber interior. It features a mid engine quad-turbocharged V12 that produces an estimated 720 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque. As a result, it had a claimed top speed of 253 mph, which even by today's standards would make it one of <span style="font-weight: bold;">the fastest</span> production cars in the world –<span style="font-weight: bold;"> faster </span>even than a <span style="font-weight: bold;">McLaren F1</span>, which was widely considered the world's preeminent supercar at the time.</div><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418868375935396818" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/SzOwE9g6K9I/AAAAAAAABho/EpU15eI_ugM/s400/2010-Ford-GT90-Super-Sport-Car-Concept-3.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept</span></div><br />The engine, which was a 48-valve six-liter V12, had to be combined together with four Garrett Systems T2 turbochargers in order to reach its estimated 720 horsepower and was based on the Ford Modular engine. Created by using parts of two Lincoln V8 engines, engineers removed the last pair of cylinders from the rear of one engine and the first pair of cylinders from the front of the other engine. The cut-down engines were then welded together with the final result being a 90-degree V12, which utilized a 90.2 mm bore and a 77.3 mm stroke to achieve maximum power.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The GT90 features the FFD-Ricardo five-speed manual gearbox found on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">XJ220</span> and, considering the torque load that it is designed to handle, is noted as having a relatively light shift quality. Also borrowed from the XJ220 comes the all around double wishbone suspension that was designed to enable the car to handle well at top speeds.</div><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418868363825104850" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/SzOwEQZlx9I/AAAAAAAABhg/h5EWMU1jAbY/s400/2010-Ford-GT90-Super-Sport-Car-Concept-4.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept</span></div><br />Using Ford's new "Edge" design philosophy, the car incorporated advanced technology with a mixture of flat planes, angles, glass and triangular shapes that seemingly all collided together. The GT90 was the first car created using this new styling directive from Ford, which went on to be responsible for the creation of other Ford products like the Ka and Cougar. The effect is most impressive and a wonderfully executed stylistic throwback to its GT40 predecessor, which at once stays true to its heritage but acknowledges the advances in modern design. Taken directly from race car technology, the GT90 body panels are molded out of carbon fiber while the chassis is formed out of a honey-comb sectioned aluminum monocoque.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The GT90 is a test bed of advanced technology and design. It sports a tinted, laminated glass bubble over the cockpit and a spoiler that rises off the rear deck at high speeds. According to Ford, it has a "design that tightly enclosed its mechanicals with no wasted space; high tech lighting and blind-spot detection systems; and tiles like those on the space shuttle to shield the V12's exhaust outlets."</div><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418868362327780066" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/SzOwEK0mauI/AAAAAAAABhY/NQF2BuDElig/s400/2010-Ford-GT90-Super-Sport-Car-Concept-5.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Ford GT90 Super Sport Car Concept</span></div><br />After its unveiling in Detroit, the GT90 made its rounds on the Auto Show Circuit in 1995, traveling around the world to Frankfurt and as far away as Tokyo. With few other showings in between, the car recently was shipped over to Europe to be on display in the Ford of Europe 2008 exhibit at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After returning home, the car was shipped to Alabama where it was on display as part of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mustang 45th Anniversary Celebration</span>.<br />This <span style="font-weight: bold;">superb concept car</span> remains in excellent running condition, having been properly stored and maintained over the years in between its show appearances. RM Auctions is proud to publicly offer the GT90 for the first time ever at auction. A remarkable one-off piece of <span style="font-weight: bold;">automotive </span>history and cutting-edge design, its offering may very well be a once in a lifetime opportunity for Ford devotees and concept car enthusiasts.</div>
