This latest feature comes to us from a customer that wanted truly custom rims. This Audi S4 is already equipped with suspension and aerodynamic body kit upgrades, but it was missing the finishing touch. That finishing touch was a set of AM Forged custom wheels. This Audi S4 wheels are a set of AM Forged Imperial's in Chrome. The Imperials are 19×8.5 in the front and 19×9.5 in the rear for a 3.5″ deep dish in the rear. Enjoy the pics and for more info on the AM Forged Imperial, just click on the wheel to be taken to rimsdealer.com for pricing and sizing information.

SPY PHOTOS: IS THIS 2+2 COUPE ACURA'S NEW NSX?
Nissan and Lexus have entered the high-dollar, high performance “supercar” game, so it was only a matter of time before Acura revived its NSX program, arguably the first Japanese “supercar” to hit American shores. Brenda Priddy's network of spy photographers caught this prototype, which Priddy says is the new NSX, expected to debut sometime next year.
Unlike the previous mid-engine NSX, this prototype runs a front-mid engine, the powerplant placed well behind the front wheels to ensure excellent weight distribution, Priddy notes. This should also allow the new NSX to offer 2+2 cabin accommodation and broaden its appeal, particularly in the Unites States. Exactly what powerplant will motivate the NSX is subject to much rumor and conjecture. There has been talk, Priddy says, of a high-revving, naturally-aspirated V10, which would fit nicely with Acura's Type R philosophy.
Acura has never obsessed over big horsepower outputs, but 450 hp seems likely if the NSX is to compete in the super-segment. Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system also seems a logical drivetrain choice. Whether buyers will perceive the new NSX equal to its Japan rivals or the European vanguard remains to be seen. Nissan's GT-R has demonstrated that it can hold its own with those elite performance machines and enter the market as a serious contender. Look for the Lexus LF-A and, perhaps, the NSX to follow suit.

BMW Cloth Car Concept, Its a Shapershifter
So BMW decided to do something so different it can only be referred to as “revolutionary.” BMW developed the new GINA concept vehicle with an exterior made of a flexible fabric material over a moveable wire mesh frame. This creates a seamless surface that can move and alter its shape. If you want more downforce, extend the rear wing. If you want a more aggressive hood, then control the contours of it. This GINA vehicle is really something to be seen in action.

Let's just say that the headlights can even wink at you if you see the video.

Hydrogen in the Gas Equals 450hp and 40mpg for 2009 Ronn Scorpion
In our efforts to update and educate on the latest news in the automotive industry we recently came across this article on the latest in combustion technology. The Ronn Scorpion is powered by the latest high tech Acura V-Tech, V-6, Type S, 3.5 Liter power-plant from the 2008 TL TypeS. On board will be our Hydrogen on demand system, which provides 130 octane Hydrogen in real time, blended with gasoline in ratios of 30-50%. Coupled with a close ratio six-speed transmission and other fuel saving measures, the “Scorpion”, highway fuel economy will be in the 40 mpg range, and capable of producing 450 horsepower with the twin-turbo option.
Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI):
Produces hydrogen during vehicle operation through electrolysis of water using the power generated from the vehicles electrical system. A small amount of hydrogen added to the vehicles intake air/fuel mixture allows the engine to operate with less fossil fuel. Ronn Motor Company will use this technology in its revolutionary Scorpion to achieve lower emissions and vastly improved fuel economy.
There are two main kinds of Hydrogen Hybrid automobile. These are fuel cell vehicles and Hydrogen internal combustion engines, (HICE) like our first automobile “The Scorpion”. Fuel cell vehicles are electric cars. Hydrogen is pumped into a tank in the car, just as gasoline. The hydrogen gas is then fed into the fuel cell where it is electrochemically converted into electricity–with no combustion, no moving parts and no emissions other than water vapor. The electricity is used to power the vehicle.
Hydrogen ICE vehicles use a regular combustion engine modified to use gaseous hydrogen instead of liquid gasoline (much like a natural gas vehicle is modified). They burn hydrogen or a combination of gasoline and hydrogen, but since there is no carbon in hydrogen, there are no or almost no CO2 emissions and only trace amounts of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). Hydrogen ICE vehicles are typically about 30-50% more efficient than comparable gasoline vehicles.
While the technology has been around for awhile, advances in technology have made it possible to produce hydrogen on board, on demand as needed. We have a strategic partnership with www.hydrorunner.com, which has allowed Ronn Motor Company to bring to market quickly, a premium exotic automobile, that is a perfect first step to a solution of the problems, facing the automobile industry as it enters into this transitional phase.
