Pretty, and Pretty Quick
In the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series, AMG has tuned the fabulous 6.2-litre V8 engine to produce 622 PS, up from 583 PS. The torque has dropped by 14 Nm, but Mercedes claims a 0-100 kmph timing of 3.6 second and a top speed of 315 kmph. Ceramic brakes with twin rotors provide the stopping force for this 1,550-kg marvel.

Petrol-electric Power
The Lexus LF-LC Blue concept car comes with an Atkinsoncycle petrol motor combined with an electric motor and a battery pack. This petrol-electric combo is expected to produce around 500 PS of power. A remote touch theme defines the interiors, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen taking centre stage. It is operated via touch control, and also controls navigation and audio.
