Hideous 2010 concept cars

Bufori
Malaysian Bufori is trying to imitate the classical English cars. The result is something that would suit Donald Duck. The Bufori MK VI will hopefully never become anything else than a concept car.

Autobau Romanshorn
It is orange and its ugliness can't really be compared with anything else. What do you think - are the designers from Autobau sane ???

Fornasari

Killer Brabus - evil looking beast

Modest 800 hp. That is what the experienced Mercedes tuners from BRABUS have squeezed under the hood of the new Mercedes E-Class Coupé.

True to tradition, the hot-tempered super car is painted black everywhere and has been stripped of the star on the radiator - emphasizing the evil look.

But the 800 hp is not the most impressive of this car. It is actually the raw torque of the V12 bi-turbo. 1420 Nm available already from 2100 rpm. BRABUS has had to put a electronic limit at 1100 Nm, in order to give the car a chance to transfer forces to the road!

Its top speed is also limited. But luckily only at 217 mph (350 km/h). And the speed it takes not long to achieve. 60 mph takes only 3.7 seconds - 186 mph (300 km/h) is reached after 23.9 seconds.

Facts:
Engine: V12 800 bhp
Top speed: Limited to 217 mph (350 km/h)
0-60: 3.5 seconds
Price: Prototype
