</script></span><p>With the growing demands for new stylish as well as fuel efficient cars in the market most automobile manufacturers have to come up with new tactics to beat competition and be the best. The Chinese automobile giant Chery Automobile Co. has also come up with its own ideas to better its car styles and who could do it better than Porsche. Porsche has always been manufacturing one stylish car after another from years and is a huge favourite of car enthusiasts. Chery has hired one of the best Porsche designers Hakan Saracoglu to improve the style of its cars and make it more popular.<br />

<p><b>Experience counts</b></p>
<p>Turkish born Hakan Saracoglu has a vast experience and knowledge of 15 years with Porsche and has been closely associated with the concept as well as designing of many of the most stylish cars like Boxster, 918 Spyder and the GT2 and GT2 RS versions of the Cayman from the house of the international automobile mogul Porsche. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Transportation Design degree from the Art Center in California, the 47 year old former Porsche designer had a promising stint with Ford Europe and was a part of the designing team of Ford Mondeo and Ford Focus before moving onto Porsche. Chery Automobile is looking to tap the huge knowledge and resource from Hakan Saracoglu and use it to design and manufacture more stylish as well as efficient cars. Chery is not a very well known name worldwide but with this appointment, they plan to widen their market and try to make their own place in the international arena too.</p><span class="cmampos2-content-widget cmam-content-widget widget cmam_responsive_ad_widget_class"><script type="text/javascript">

<p>Hakan Saracoglu will be based out of Shanghai in China and will head a team of 30 promising designers who will conceptualize and design cars under the direct supervision of the former Porsche designer. They would be concentrating on getting the best designs in terms of style as well as sophistication bundled with efficiency.  According to sources Hakan Saracoglu is being paid a huge pay packet that could be 3x more than what most automobile companies pay in Europe or in the US. Chery is not the first Asian company to lure and hire international designers with fat pay packages, there have been many other Asian companies like  Beijing Automotive and Great Wall Motor Co. that have also brought in designers from international design houses to improve their car styling and also make them more international.</p><span class="cmampos3-content-widget cmam-content-widget widget cmam_responsive_ad_widget_class"><script type="text/javascript">

<p><b>Company prospects </b></p>
<p>Chery is most popular for its QQ car which is a mini car that is known to be very economical, but the company is now looking to expand its horizon to other car segments too. With the induction of Hakan Saracoglu the company would like to start increasing its market value in SUVs and Sedans too. The company is looking to enhance its image and market value and provide good competition to international car manufacturers like Volkswagen and General Motors that have a good foothold in the Asian market.  Although this change will not happen overnight the company believes that its process of redefining its image has begun and they will leave no stone unturned to meet their goal. With a good designing team and a strong willingness to beat competition and shine the state owned Chery Automobile Co. is all set to face and conquer new challenges that it may face in this process.</p>

		</span></a></p>
<p><b>Reasons behind the triumph</b></p>
<p>Such a prestigious award requires judges of extremely high caliber in the car designing/modelling field. The judges panel of this event is chosen from across the country after very stringent brainstorming based on their contributions to the field of car designing. The VACC this year has invited the chief designer of Toyota &#8211; Nicolas Hogios to be a part of their panel of judges for this year&#8217;s awards. Mr. Hogios earned a lot of appreciation for his exterior design concept of the Toyota Sportivo Coupe in 2004 at the Motor Show. His concept and design not only got him a lot of appreciation but many awards too that year. One of the most important awards he has received is the Wheels Young Designer of the Year Award at the inaugural event in 1998. Mr. Hogios is very excited to be a part of the judging panel as it will provide him an opportunity to study many new concepts and designs from young minds who will be an essential part of the bright future of the automotive industry of Australia. VACC chose him to be a judge as they found him to the perfect person who would understand the enthusiasm and mindsets of the young entrants and will help them by providing feedback and insight into their work.</p><span class="cmampos2-content-widget cmam-content-widget widget cmam_responsive_ad_widget_class"><script type="text/javascript">

<p>The former Corporate Manager of the Styling and Design Team in Toyota  Paul Beranger will also be a part of the judging committee not only as an independent judge but also as the chairman of the judging committee. Nicolas Hogios replaced Paul Beranger in Toyota in 2002 and has been the new face of Toyota&#8217;s designing team ever since. With such stalwarts in the judging panel the benchmark is set very high and the winners have to be exceptional.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Highlights of the Award Function</b></p>
<p>The VACC Automotive Design Awards will be held at the Federation Square in Melbourne on 20th June 2013. The awards will be presented by Peter Hall who is the Minister for Higher Education and Skills. The students not only get awards but also get a cash prize for themselves and the school, college or university that they represent. The best designs from the entries for the Awards will be later displayed at the Australian International Motor Show to be held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre this year from June 28th to July 7th. The VACC not onl awards students for their innovative designs and concepts but also offers them a chance to do an apprenticeship with them. It is the best platform for any upcoming talent to get showcased and meet the who’s who of the automotive industry and if lucky also get  hired by small/ big car manufacturing companies.</p>

<p><b>Trending news</b></p>
<p>Apart from the other latest events all around the world, the one that is in latest trends is the news of Michael Scully designing an amazing bobsled for BMW. For people who are not aware of whom Michael Scully is, he works as the creative director for BMW design groups of the USA in the Newbury Park.</p>
<p>His latest project is located in New Hampshire which includes designing a unique bobsled for the U.S. Olympic team. It is not a very usual thing for BMW to get its cars to slide on ice but it is a very challenging task for Michael Scully to design a bobsled which would be absolutely ready to compete in the winter Olympics which are to be held in Sochi, Russia.</p>

<p>Michael Scully has been very famous since he’s been working on this post with BMW since 1996 and his specialty is designing racing cars but has also worked on developing bicycles too. When he was contacted he responded that he is very much involved in car racing which is also a reason of this project being so close to his spirit, he simply trusts that obtaining a venture which is so close to his passion will definitely turn out to be great.</p>
<p><b>Beginning of his Glorious career</b></p>
<p>Scully completed his studies at the Roger Williams University after which he joined the Johnson engineering Motorsports for his apprenticeship which is where his career started from. After his successful apprenticeship he then joined BMW which gave a boost to his passion for cars. Since then he has set many world records in designing the best racing cars. He says that before designing the perfect bobsled a person needs to have the proper experience with it. He also accepts that it can go wrong sometimes and there can be many problems but if the path is right Scully believes that the bobsled projects can be the most fulfilling and promising one.</p>
<p>Michael Scully has been a pro at designing and building cars for many years and people have a lot of expectations from this project that he is doing. It looks like the project will not be a very difficult one for him because in his teens, he was also an ace snowboard racer. With a lot of hope attached Scully will surely be able to make a mark for himself with this project</p>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is back and that too in a grand style. Yes, we are talking about Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. These days Italy is flying high with another coachbuilder. Carrozzeria Touring is not new but was originated in 1926. However, it was eventually closed in 1966. It was later started again in 2006. Since then, Carrozzeria has manufactured five new concept cars. They are rather beautiful and certainly stand among the most adorable and the favorites of all.</p>
<p>The first Carrozzeria Touring concept was Superleggera which was revealed in 2008. Superleggera came out as Maserati A8 GCS and exposed at the prominent Concorso d’ Eleganza Villa d’Este. A8 GCS was inspired of 1954 released Pininfarina’s Maserati A6 GCS. It follows the concepts of Maserati GranSport that leads the GranTurismo which showed the completed concept forms the upcoming year. The Superleggera has a 4.2 liter V8 along with 385 horse power on the tap, although the whole concept was based on its design which would make it a good successor of the GranTurismo, no matter if it is old enough to compete.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Gumpert is the manufacturer of the best Supercars running. However, Apollo lacks behind in the field of style. Therefore, Gumpert catch a deal with Touring to make it a fresh design. Touring presented it in the form of Tornant with its debut last year at a show in Geneva. It showcased its Audi based 4.2 liter of twin turbo V8 engine along with 700 hp. In spite of this, the development of the Gumpert was halted and it fell on the hard times. At present when it is back and successfully running, we wish to see it again with all the supercars hitting the road in the forthcoming years.</p>
<p>In the Geneva show where Gumpert revealed its Tornante designed by Touring, Carrozzeria itself unveiled its other model in the form of Alfa Romeo Disco Volante. Just like Tornante, Disco Volante was a little less than the real model. This year we will see the completed version of the Disco which is packed with a 4.7 liter of V8 from Alfa 8C Competizione. Like A8 GCS, the Alfa Romeo is also inspired of the 50s classics; Alfa Romeo Disco Volante was originally designed in 1952 by Carrozzeria in its glory days.</p>

<p>A few years back before Ferrari could release its Mercedes or FF with enlarged roof CLS, Carrozzeria Touring in Geneva came up with a modified Bentley Continental generally identified as a Flying Star. It has a 3 door shooting brake which was in fact made on the concept of the continental GTC which is packed with the same sheet metal and 6.0 liter twin turbo W12 engine. It took 4000 man hours for the conversion process. Carrozzeria Touring was all set to accept up to 19 orders of Flying star for the individual customers. But is still a question, whether Touring succeeded in making this much number of Bentley Continental or not.</p>
<p>However, the Flying Star was not the only one which was successfully converted by the Touring and A8 GCS was also not the only one which was toyed with. At the same time, Touring was transforming Quattroporte into a Bellagio Fastback. It was therefore, introduced at the Villa d’Este concourse on Lake Como in Italy. Its rival Zagato debuted its Bentley Continental GTZ at the same place. The conversion to Bellagio Fastback was artfully crafted if compared to CinquePorte which was designed by StudioM. In spite of such a tremendous effort by Touring, we are not sure if any of these were ever booked by the customers.</p>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The Five stunning Lamborghini concepts</b></p>
<p>The owners of Lamborghini believe in producing the cars that people can actually buy and are not just the concept cars. Usually the Lamborghini cars a rare sight, but some of these Lamborghini cars like the Sesto Elemento and <a href="http://www.carbuzz.com/Lamborghini/2012_Lamborghini_Aventador-LP700-4/">Aventador</a> J are even rarer than others, but sooner or later the stylish racing cars that the Lamborghini unveils eventually make production. But the five cars mentioned below, these models never ruled the roads but they were merely displayed in the showrooms of Lamborghini as they were never put into production due to several reasons.</p>
<p><strong>MIURA</strong></p>
<p>This is one of the most exciting projects, but the confusion about the question that arises here is that, did the Lamborghini made the Miura or not. It’s not the original supercar, the company referred to the retro concept that Sant’Agata debuted in 2006. The Miura concept that was based on the Murcielago was an unusual retro design for a company that was at the zenith of glory but was never intended for production.</p>

			</span>
		</span></a></p>
<p><strong>ZAGATO</strong></p>
<p>Well, this supercar was not at all designed by Lamborghini; it was actually designed by an independent design studio named Zagato. The Lambo’sZagato Raptor enjoyed a full fledged support from the factory with the inputs from Swiss sled racer Alain Wicki. This model is perfectly designed with the signature elements from the Zagato and the Lamborghini plus the former’s double-bubble roof. TheZagato Raptor, powered by the Diablo’s 492-horsepower 5.7-liter V12, the debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996 and surprisingly the model was sold to a private collector at the same venue.</p>

			</span>
		</span></a></p>
<p><strong>CALA</strong></p>
<p>The next supercar concept was designed at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show by the GiorgettoGiugiaro&#8217;sItalDesign. Calpa is considered as the new standby for Jalpa, features a 4.0-liter V10 right in the middle, driving at an incredible power of 400 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed. This car was absolutely a reality and the three models were fully ready but unfortunately it never saw any more production due to the changes made in the ownership of Lamborghini. The Cala is merely a base of Gallardo nothing more than that as the latter is very different in the design.</p>

		</span></a></p>
<p><strong>ESTOQUE</strong></p>
<p>Lamborghini surprised the crowd at the Paris Motor Show of the year 2008, when it showcased its whole new estoque concept, this time it was completely different from the early mid engine supercars that Lamborghini produced exclusively for the past few decades. This model was very different as it featured four doors instead of the two and the engine was placed up in the front instead of the engine behind the cabin. Estoque concept was expected to attract the crowd and it was expected to be produced in mass numbers, but unfortunately after the five years, it does not seem to be moving as per the plan.</p>

			</span>
		</span></a></p>
<p><strong>URUS</strong></p>
<p>Not just the Estoque, the Urus was not less than it in any respect. This time the Lamborghini launched an SUV and it was debuted in the Beijing auto show last April. Well, it was not the only departure for this company, as in 80’s this company built the LM002 and before that it made the tractors. This concept appealed the public quite well as it seemed to be a stronger concept. While the Estoque model is more popular and no more mass produces, the Urus is in a much better condition than that as, the parent company of this SUV, the Volksvogen is trying its best to increase the production of this supercar.</p>

<p><b>A big surprise for Toyota Avalon Buyers</b></p>
<p><b>2013 Toyota Avalon Limited</b> comes with an exclusive package of in-console Qi wireless charging which allows drivers to charge their Qi- enabled wireless devices without any difficulty. The Avalon Limited Technology package will include this Qi system along with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic High beams and a Pre-Collision System.  Many auto buyers are comfortable with their high- tech phones but the use of them will become drastically easy from the coming year, thanks to the Japanese masterminds.</p>
<p>The charging pad is placed in the center console of the Avalon, just beneath the HVAC controls and the car’s radio.</p>
<p><b>Chief engineer of Toyota Avalon proud</b></p>
<p>Randy Stephens, chief engineer of Toyota Avalon sedan is ecstatic about its launch and says that there has not been a single major hit among the world of vehicles before this. Toyota’s continuous effort in making the Company rank No.1 has been totally fruitful with this invention to improve the consumer experience. Avalon Limited has offered a huge relief to buyers who have very little time to charge their phones at home. So they can avail this modern technology of <b>wireless charging</b> in the car itself to enhance their lifestyle and thus Toyota commits in serving consumers with the best possible innovative ways and high technology themes. This edition is also served with Intellitouch controls and three TFT color screens.</p>

<p>There are 34 mobile phone models which has a built-in Qi <b>wireless charging</b>, also, for others, there are various add-on systems to suit the consumers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Toyota claims this technology to be world’s first</b></p>
<p><b>2013 Toyota Avalon Limited</b> will probably be called as the &#8220;World&#8217;s First Application of Qi Wireless In-Car Charging&#8221;, though it is not clear whether Chrysler’s in-car wireless charger is easily compatible with the Qi charger. For this, Toyota has decided that they would consider themselves to be at fault if there are any technical errors. It is also believed that there is also an accessory which is removable called the Dart’s charging map which falls into the center console rather than being integrated in the console.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Some unique stuff about the wireless charging facility</b></p>
<p>A Qi compatible phone is necessary to set onto the infotainment pad to use the Qi charging. Phones such as Google Nexus 4 and Nokia Lumia 920 are applicable sets. The owners have to serve their car with a charging sleeve, with the help of which incompatible phones like Apple iPhone can be charged. This $1,750 package is filled with different kinds of technological advances such as radar cruise control, pre collision system, and automatic high beams. It would have been convenient for consumers to make the charging capability less expensive but the Toyota makers say that this technology will provide immense satisfaction to people and they have taken a lot of patience and innovations to make up this complex mechanization.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Car fanatics would agree that, the adrenaline pumping and exhilarating act of unleashing a ‘beast’ of a car can never surpass any other feeling in the world. In addition to it, while many of us would literally give anything to take an Audi R8 or the uber luxurious Aston Martin One-77 for a spin if we ever could get a chance, reality is, it will remain just a cherished dream for most of us. However that does not mean that you cannot stand right next to the car models you crave to get your hands on and appreciate these beauties and stare at them with greed and excitement. Added to that, you get to enter a cool showroom with some extraordinarily impeccable design in the interiors and the ambience is sure to replicate heaven where the angels (the cars) will serenade you into a state of bliss.</p>
<p>So here are the top five coolest showrooms that sell some of the best and most demanded cars in the world:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>[box_dark]Audi Forum: Ingolstadt, Germany[/box_dark]</strong> -Here the lovers of the German car makers are sure to be transported into the world of “<em>VorsprungDurchTechnik</em>”. The factory tour will enlighten visitors about the craftsmanship and machined precision. The showroom also hosts numerous cinema and music events, besides the option of candle light dinner for two. But the main centre of attractionthat is sure to blow your mind is the Day Race Course that replicates places like a narrow city road to a German race course.</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>About Domino&#8217;s</strong></p>
<p>Domino&#8217;s has over the years has established itself as one of the best home delivery pizza experts. Not are they best at only delivering pizzas, there are pizzas are truly mouth-watering. Well, I am already feeling hungry and craving for a Domino&#8217;s pizza. As a pizza brand, Domino&#8217;s has also been quite experimental and innovative with its menu. Spread far and wide, across various countries and continents, they have menus keeping in mind the tastes and sentiments of the locals in each location. This innovative menu and constantly adding something new has made Domino&#8217;s quite popular and has bought it a long way. As mentioned, they are also the pioneers and experts in pizza delivery, seems the pizza giant has now brought the innovation factor in their delivery vehicles as well. Puzzled what is being discussed about here. Have a look at these pictures.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Pizza-Hero-by-Pierre-Gimgergues-02-720x465.jpg" rel="lightbox[21076]">

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Crowd sourcing has always been a basic and key element in increasing business horizons. Domino&#8217;s and similar companies have always used it to create new products. However, with the tradition of being innovative, Domino&#8217;s is this time using crowd sourcing to create a new signature delivery vehicle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The &#8216;Signature Delivery Vehicle&#8217; Story</strong></p>
<p>Domino&#8217;s recently tied up with “Local Motors” to organize a contest. The contest gave the opportunity to people from around the world to give designs for the “Ultimate Delivery Vehicle”. In the process the participants had the opportunity to win cash prizes. The competition closed just a few days back and Local Motors in collaboration with Domino&#8217;s announced the winner. The winning design has been named as &#8216;Domino&#8217;s Pack&#8217; and the designer is Anej Kostrevc of Slovenia. The delivery vehicle designed is almost nine feet long, slightly less than five feet wide and approximately six feet tall. The wonder delivery vehicle &#8216;Domino&#8217;s Pack&#8217; is designed to maximize interior space for pizzas and beverages.</p>
<p>The vehicle also has a cool rear drawer and some regular drawers and trays. The cool drawer has the capacity to store and chill about nine, 2 liter bottles. The other drawers and trays are for storing the pizzas, garlic breads and other edible stuff like pasta, wraps etc. The &#8216;Domino&#8217;s Pack&#8217; has automatic sliding doors similar to 2013 Ford Escape foot activated lift-gate system. The concept has won the designer $10,000.</p>
<p>The second and the third winners won $5,000 and $1,500. The next ten top entries won five hundred dollars each. The pizza giant has planned in total five phases of the competition. There are four more phases yet to happen. Domino&#8217;s plans to distribute approximately $50,000 as prize money across all the five phases. The vehicle details like packaging, interior, surfacing and rendering will be finalized basis voting and validation on similar lines. The design submission contest will be completed in phases by February 2013.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It is indeed a commendable strategy. People involvement in launching and designing of new products is always a smart move. Since, the product has been designed by the consumers themselves, the occurrence of the product failing is quite rare. Most importantly, such level of customer involvement also brings about a sense of customer loyalty. Domino&#8217;s has always been a pioneer in pizza delivery.  They are truly the pizza delivery experts and also have always made innovative menus. Seems this customized Domino&#8217;s delivery vehicle will be a success too. Many competitors may follow in line soon to the trend of having a customized delivery vehicle. Like pioneers in pizza delivery, it seems domino&#8217;s will very soon become pioneers of a customized delivery vehicle as well.</p>
