The BMW 5-series GT has been leaked, and is causing a buzz across the internet. Car fans around the world are anxiously anticipating its release, after seeing it’s mock up design earlier this year. The sedan is designed to have much more leg room than the previous model, and sitting space for 4 people. As with previous models in the series, this one is expected to have as much torque power as the past versions, possibly even more. Meaning that we’ll get to see the 306hp 3.0-litre twin turbo petrol or turbo diesel or the 408 hp 4.4-litre twin turbo V8, in action. Expected to be unveiled officially in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, mass production and purchasing will probably begin a few months after. [via WCF]

By putting the new Carrera GT on a serious diet and adding all sorts of carbon fiber parts, Gemballa managed to impress once again with their Mirage GT Carbon Edition. Although it’s not yet a production model, it packs a 670 hp engine that tops at 335 km/h (208 mph), does 0 to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds while naught to 200 km/h in a mere 9.7 seconds. With race car looks and futuristic lines, Gemballa’s Mirage GT Carbon Edition is one of those rides that makes you ask yourself if you can push the pedal to the metal. Much more than just a tuning exercise, isn’t it? [via gtspirit.com]

It is the holiday season and the virtual world junkies are sure to be having a ball by kicking back on their couch and working overtime on their Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360. If you are a fan of PS3′s Gran Turismo5, then the GT might be very well a reality for you very soon as it is rumored that Citreon could soon produce 20 of these 3000 pound concept cars. The prototype of the GT is already in existence, but its is nothing beyond a cool futuristic car sketch and Citreon intends to breath life into it with a 782 horsepower fuel cell to power it on. With the auto world in neck-deep crisis, the chances of this happening though look pretty bleak for now.

It’s official! The Lightning GT will be officially revealed with all its 700 horses and its  other beauty, the electric engine, at the British Motor Show. To be honest it was about time because we have grown tired of just looking at pictures of it and hearing promises.

The Lightning GT will be powered by four 120kw power Permanent Magnet brushless motors, which can be harged in 10 minutes. Specs say that this baby will ‘fly’ from 0 to 60mph in just 4 seconds, thanks to its electric motor that is able to pass the full thrust of the torque to the wheels from standstill, giving the model a great advantage over gas powered sportcars which require the vehicle to build up the rev count first.

I know I will never get to drive one of these, but a man can dream about such things. There is no penalty for that, is it?

It’s been a while since I haven’t seen such a concept, not to mention that this one comes from a Chinese manufacturer. Apparently the 2008 Beijing Motor Show is going to have a pretty special guest in the name of Geely GT. They don’t have any spectacular models so far, so I presume this is a marketing move to get some attention their way.From what I see it has a few lines from well known models including Ferrari’s 612 or the Nissan GT-R, all packed in a beautiful Peugeot 607 theme. This is definitely something I’d love to put my behind in, but need something more than just these teasing renderings.

Wiesmann has finally revealed its rather Batmobile-looking GT MF 5 sports coupe. Powered by a 5.0-liter V10 engine outsourced from the latest BMW M5, the car takes only 3.9 seconds to jump from zero to 60mph.

As you can see on the pictures, the Wiesmann GT MF 5 features a stiff aluminum monocoque with a front-mounted mid-engine chassis layout. The powerful motor is mated to a seven-speed sequential gearbox transmitting the power to the rear wheels.

Compared to the standard Wiesmann GT, the MF 5 has a lowered ground clearance and wider track but is 100kg heavier.

The car is expected to go into production in the second half of 2008. Price is yet to be announced.
