Ford is coming to Chicago Motor show with all its pomp and show. The carmaker is eying to rule the roost with its 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 which is an overhaul of the last years GT500.

With more power, new performance upgrades, and comparatively less weighty engine for 2011, Ford is all set to put a firm challenge to Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Chevrolet Corvette.

Ford’s overhaul for the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 include a new aluminum engine construction that reduces 100 pounds of weight against its 2010 GT500s iron-block supercharged V-8 and Shelby is expected to earn an EPA rating of 15 and 23mpg for city and highway respectively which is, again, up from last year’s 14 and 22mpg.

Also, 2011 Shelby has a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine which is, as Ford says, an evolution of the engine from the departed Ford GT. And the improved exhaust flow adds 10hp more to a total of 550hp at 6,200 rpm. Torque remains the same, with 510 pounds-feet on tap at 4,500 rpm.

Other changes in the new version are a new electric power steering to last year’s hydraulic steering that help save fuel efficiency, as there’s no more hydraulic steering pump dragging on the engine, Nineteen-inch wheels and xenon headlights that were previously optional are now standard.

Ford will be available as a coupe or convertible, and will go on sale in spring. There is no word on the pricing but the care is expected to start from somewhere near to the 2010 model’s $46,725 base sticker.

Mercedes-Benz has a great fanfare and people across the world love to own one. As it is quite understandable that even a staunch lover couldn’t possess all its models, but he can enjoy the thrill of its chronology and seeing 160 (almost all) of its models in a single building. Yes, Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, Germany, caters pretty well to all those fans and lovers who are interested in its long history (starting from since 1886); since its inception to the present day.

The museum that is only of its genre in the world, documents a single continuous timeline of over 120 years of Mercedes-Benz’s auto industry history. It has 160 vehicles and over 1,500 exhibits on nine different levels, covering a floor space of 16,500. The museum not only presents the fascinating history of the Mercedes-Benz brand, but also illuminates insights into the future.

The museum is designed by the UN Studio of Dutch architects van Berkel and Bos, Amsterdam, and the inspiration for the building’s interior styling comes from double helix structure of the DNA spiral that carries the human genome.

Jeep Pygmy concept, the outcome of the project Basil Kurkova, has been recognized as one of two best works of the students of the Italian IED. Not only this but it will be presented at the Geneva Motor show this year and there are firm expectations (but you never know) that it’ll form the basis of a real car.

This concept is the vision of the future and the evolution of the real relationship between the two historic brands: FIAT and Chrysler. Jeep Pygmy of Vasily Kourkoff is based on the platform of the Fiat Panda Cross 4×4 vehicle and is deeply a European character imbued with the spirit of the American culture that deeply adores jeep.

Further, the two seater jeep is designed to offer different possibilities, style and characterization as per the customer requirements. And as a result, it can be transformed into a car for shopping or sports, or even a rally jeep.

People in caravan are generally out for the fun. And to add more to their Comfort, this vehicle add-on, Caravan, is developed while keeping in mind the need of the constant campers and wanderers while on the move.

Further, this caravan for three people is not only developed while reducing the tow ball weight for fuel efficiency, but the rare color combination and the stream line shape of the caravan’s body gives exotic feel to the users.

This concept by Heather Barrett flaunts a roofed slide out elevated outdoor zone along with pull down seats, Mosquito net and many more to follow that provide users with the greater flexibility, more freedom to interact with their neighbors, and to enjoy the scenic splendor and other activities that were generally missed earlier.

The design of this above pictured bike begins from the V7 Café Classic. Luca Bar, the designer, has added a second brake at the front, longer shocks at back and a half fairing to give an extra racing feeling. The bike is not supposed to be a pure racer as the engine could be prepared to pull out 70hp, only but that’s enough to have fun on a road. Checkout more images after the fun

Thanks Luca Bar.
